THf EAGLE Of 1951 The 3oard of Education is nearly always forgotten in most of the natters pertain- ing to school. They could be called the men behind the scenes, the men who lay the plans for our everydaj’- school life, or authorities on which we rely. In honor of them, we, the class of 1951 wish to express our humble appreciation by ded- icating to them, The Eagle of l°5l. 2 I.T.

In preparation, I had gone to Winchester for a little last-minute shopping. Going to Perry’s stockyards to buy a cow, I s w Betty Robertson rt the port of entry. She explained she was there only because hubby Ray was short of help. Her regular job is singing in Grand Opera; but, of course, since Ray owns the 'Winchester Stockyards, she feels her duty is to help make a success of the business. Leaving the Stockyard3, I noticed a very familiar figure approaching. It was none other than Ralph Baker, home for his vacation. After many long years he has finally become judge of the Supreme Court. My Model A truck wasn't quite good enough for my journey, so I went to Freddie the Auto i-ianufacturer, who has made a car of his own called the Rushing Convertible . Ills motto is Rush's coming. Rush's going. After driving ouite a wry, I saw a sign Football Tonight: Indiana V.S. Army . I didn't wont to miss the opportunity to see this game, expecially since Jug (Eugene) Robertson was one of the coaches. After the game I went to thie Bornum and Bailey Circus where I heard a man announcing the fattest lady. The lady's face looked familiar, and sure enough it was my old chum, Barbara Miller. Elect'on time was drawing near, and everywhere I went I saw a hand- some free on all the windows with the words Hunsucker for Democratic governor of Kansas . He stands for free school books for grade schools, high schools, colleges and anywhere else where people can read. Turning on the radio of my convertible, I heard a voice singing, Put the Caddie on the Stove and We'll Ride the Range Together . Although she sounded familiar I could hardly believe it was Betty Trower, a s’n.ving star on the Hillbilly Hit Parade . Being tired of traveling, I decided to rest on the beach. There I saw our old schoolmate Dorothy Noll. I ran over to talk but I felt rather cheap and unshapely beside her, the main glamour girl on Palm Beach. After rest'ng up a little, I went to California by the route through Europe. That Rushing Convertible has everything, even fluid drive; I didn't have a bit of trouble crossing the ocean. In the French Art Iluseum I saw Clair Curry's famous Paintings. He told me that his wife is really a big help and that without her rouge, lipstick, and eyebrow pencil the whole thing would be a flop. After several hundred uninteresting miles in Europe suddenly my bumper banged against something—I had dented the iron curtain. The noise must have been loud, because soon I sew someone's head ]eeking around the curtain. He must have recognized me at once but I didn't know him until he started talking, because he was dressed as a Russian. I was surprised to see Homer Nixon, a spy in Russia. When I had rushed through Asia and half way across the Pacific Ocean, a great ship approached me. Steering the ship was Jim Sacks, a com- mander in the Navy. Rearing the shores of California, I saw some Marines loading cargoes. Bill Harter was just standing around telling everyone else what to do. I drove up and asked why he didn't do something, but he kept on talking very fast. In no time at all the cargoes were loaded. He then told me that he was the boss, and his men were to work as fast as he talked. In Hollywood I went into a printing office to have my tour put in the newspapers. Much to my surprise, however, all I saw was Don Watts sitting at his desk giving advice to the lovelorn. I decided that I would go back to Kansas before I printed my story. Just as I was nearing Winchester I noticed a team and a loaded wagon coming toward me. Driving the team was the former Barbara Moon. Stand- ing behind her was her husband Charles Pence hearding the little Pences, yes all twelve of them Joyce Angel H-hranre thi a CLASS HISTOfiy We, the Senior Class of 1951 entered Winchester High School with seventeen members. At first we were very green and backward, but after initiation we soon changed. During the year Sharon Tolson moved away and Norman Beymer moved in so we finished our freshman year with seventeen. The class officers and sponsor were: President-------------------------Charles Pence Vice-president----------------------Betty Trower Secretary-Treasurer---------------Barbara Moon Sponsor------------------------------Mrs. Hines Our sophomore year we had fifteen members, since Elizabeth Woodward 8nd Norman Beymer failed to come to school that year. The class officers and sponsor were: President--------------------------Betty Trower Vice-president--------------Ralph Baker Secretary-Treasurer------Dick Hunsucker Sponsor---------------------Miss Phelps We began our junior year with the addition of Jerres Shrout and James Sacks thus making our number seventeen. During the year we lost James Shrout and gained Phyllis Calvin but later Phyllis quit. Our class numbered sixteen at the end of our junior year. On November 15 we presented a farce-comedy, Oh, Aunt Jerusha . A junior-senior banquet featuring the theme Time Marches On was given on April 12 honoring the seniors of '50. The class officers and sponsor were: President-----------------Dick Hunsucker Vice-president--------------------Charles Pence Secretary-Treasurer-----------------Betty Trower Sponsor------------------------Mrs. Hines The class of '51 began its last year with seventeen members. Bill Harter joined us after returning from the Marines. ’.Ve recieved our class rings the first week of school. Class pictures were taken at Christopher Studio in Topeke October 10. After taking our pictures we went over Topeka looking at points of interest. The seniors had three members on the debate teem, the class had nine boys who lettered in football and nine who lettered in basketball. Some of the high lights of the senior year were the presentation of the play, the Junior- senior banquet, sneakdey, alumni banquet, and activity banquet.

S. was held Thursday night, October 19, 1950. At halftime of the Winchester-Valley Palls game, the queen. Miss Betty Robertson, and her attendants. Miss Dorothy Noll and Miss Doris Noll, were escorted, through a lattice work of streamers formed by the pep club, on to the field In a car. She then ascended her throne, which was on the back of a beautifully decor- ated float. Here she was crowned homecoming queen by football captain Homer Nixon and pre- sented a sceptor by Jim Sacks and a bouquet of purple and white chrysanthemums by Fred Rush. The queen and her attendents were then con- veyed around the field on the float where they were viewed by all spectators.
