Published Dec. 24, 1959. Young initiative for Christmas. This ton of food was gathered by Central High School pupils in an inter-class contest, and the food was placed in the Salvation Army's Tree of Lights baskets for distribution to the unfortunate. Sponsored by the Student Council, the effort more than paid off. From the left are Stephen Oldfield, Miss Kathryn Sackman, faculty counselor; Karen Holloway, Micky Roper and Robert McBride, all members of the Council. There are 2261 cans of food beneath the Christmas tree. (G.D. Fronabarger, Southeast Missourian archive)

Oct. 5, 1962 Southeast Missourian. Crab apples, brought to school by a pupil, launched these five-year-old kindergarteners at Campus Elementary School on a jelly-making project that will bring cheer to shut-ins at Christmastime. Some of the classes are shown here washing the fruit, measuring sugar, and stirring the jelly. All of the youngsters helped with the batches of jelly, and shown here on their shift are, left to right: Wendell Black, Charles Juden, Patty Knote, Carole Anne Lewis, and partially shown Mark Kaiser, Mary Foster and Ann Schneider, Rob Rueseler, Pam Cross, Mary Tygett and Robert Vogel. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) The whole idea stemmed from the children’s supervisor, Miss Louise Gross, and assisting her with the afternoon class is Miss Jane Ewan. Miss Gross finds that “autumn is a wonderful season for kindergarteners,” as they “investigate, experiment and observe nature around them as it prepares for winter.”

Nov. 3, 1962 Southeast Missourian. The magic of a kiln holds many pleasant experiences for art pupils at Campus School. Two student teachers explain packing the electric kiln for firing ceramics pieces. In the photo, from left, are Vivian Crader and Ruth Busch, seniors; Miss Peggy Cato (seated) and Miss Margaret Heisserer, student teachers, and Roger Pierce, senior. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) “It’s like Christmas every time the oven door is opened,” Mrs. Marea Daume, art supervisor at Campus School, said in reference to the many creative ceramic works made by pupils from kindergarten through the high school grades. Some of the children have kept all of their pieces through seven or eight years. They make handsome, unique gifts for parents or other family members. “We keep the pieces on exhibit here at school for most of the year,” Mrs. Daume explained. It takes about a month to complete a ceramic article, taking it from the raw clay, hand molding, through two firings and its final glaze. Pupils in each elementary class make one ceramics piece a year. High School students who take art classes may continue with ceramics.

Sept. 29, 1959 Southeast Missourian. College High class uses costumes in classroom plays to make English lesson vivid. From the left are Mike Englemann, Eldon Baylor, Prof. Lealon N. Jones and Ruth Ann Busch. (G.D. Fronabarger/Southeast Missourian archive) “If you want a group to remember something a long time, simulate the event as nearly as possible in its original form, present it as a story, make it vividly dramatic, and do it as comedy if you possibly can,” says Prof. Lealon N. Jones, senior supervisor of the English department, College High School. Costuming and makeup are used to make the presentations more vivid. Original properties or accurate reproductions of them are used to give reality to productions. Sixteen boys tried out for two parts in the play, “Chief Gray Eagle and Ol’ Bill.” “They were fascinated by the costumes and properties in the play,” Jones said, “which was presented to show the American frontiersman’s sense of humor and the methods mountain men used to get their furs to market.”
