HI-LIFE IILSHS Class of 1957

Vol X # 10 Ed Heinlein, E IC Emeritus

October 2012 and our Fearless Leader

This months photo will be ofspecial interest to those of you that came into LSHS

from Hazel Grove Elementary. I was contacted recently by a current teacher atH.G. asking if I might help her with a project she was planning for her students this

fall. They are making a video presentation of the history of Hazel Grove School

and, since my Dad was Superintendent there when the then new building was

built in 1940andhis grandfather started up the very first Hazel Grove School in

1860, she hoped my Dad might have left behind some usable information and/orpictures. Below is one of the newspaper articles that we dug up. Anotherinteresting point for the Class of 57, you will see that H. T. Jones,our Bob Joness

father, was clerk on the Board of Education at that time. I remember the Jones

family being very active at the school back in the early 40s and, even though I was

only 3-4 years old at the time, I remember playing with Bob on the playgroundthere. In fact, that is where HE BIT ME! He kept reminding me of that all through

high school.

My sister, Georgeanne, and I were invited to come to the school and visit with the Aspire

Group of 6th

graders that are working on the project, which we did on September 18th

.

They really made us feel like VIPs 3 very polite students met us at the front door and

guided us thru the halls to the library where the rest of the class and teacher were waiting

for us. There were about 20 kids; very polite and showed real interest. A couple of themwere operating video cameras and, 2 or 3 more, still cameras. We took them some pictures

of our Dad at that time of his life and a picture of his grandfather, James Moss Prewitt, aswell as some old papers we had found in our Dads old school papers box.

We were joined by a couple of 1940 students that attended Hazel Grove when the new

school opened, Bob and Ann (Quinn) Bergen. As Ed would say, it was a hoot! Thesestudents are really on the ball. They asked us questions like what did you wear to school

back then? and did you have a cafeteria lunch? Georgeanne answered this last question.

She told them that they did have a cafeteria and if they cleaned their plate they would get a

gold star by their name on the wall. She said one thing they served a LOT of was breaded

tomatoes she hated them, but always ate them so she could get her gold star. From that

answer on, she was fair game. Every time we turned around, one of the students mentionedherbreaded tomatoes! That got to be the joke of the day. The kids really had fun with it; I

think most of them had never heard of breaded tomatoes before.

And after our session, another 3 students gave us a guided tour thru the school.

(Plate on shelf in Library)

The gym still has the old wood floor (refinished nicely) and the old entrance doors.

Georgeanne and I had lunch that day at Neighbors Caf and ran into Lee Ann (Smith)

Beard & her family a great surprise! Then we stopped by the LS Tribune office to meet

Linda (Quick) Ahern, a younger LSHS grad from the 60s, who has become a good friend

thru Facebook, but wed never met in person. I always feel at home in Lees Summit !!

The following history is taken from the Lees Summit R-7 website . . .

History1949 to Today

The Lees Summit School District was reorganized in 1949 when 16 rural elementary districtscombined with the Greenwood School District and the Lees Summit City School District.These rural districts included High Mound, Cedar Hill, Hazel Grove, Maple Grove, Colbern,Lone Oak, Oakland, Cyclone, Center Point, Wright, Tennyson, Woodland, Hazel Dell,Tarsney and Mason. In 1949, the school district totaled a little over 1,200 students. Today,close to 17,500 students attend our school district. Reorganized School District No. 7 more commonly known as the Lees Summit R-7 District now includes 18 elementaryschools, three middle schools, three high schools, the Summit Ridge Academy (alternativeschool), Great Beginnings Early Education Center and Summit Technology Academy.

Lees Summit Elementary Schoolis located in downtown Lees Summit and is one of ourmost historic schools. It sits on the site of the 1907 Lees Summit High School building. Thissame location was also once home to an elementary school, built in 1922. The current

elementary building was constructed in 1955, and additions were built in 1955 and 1958. A2002 bond issue funded an addition and renovation at the school.

Hazel Grove Elementaryis located on the districts northwest side and sits next to UnityVillage. The school was built in 1940 on land donated by Unity. A new wing was added in1951. A 1999 bond issue funded an addition at the school.

Greenwood Elementary School, located in the city of Greenwood in the districts farsouthern portion, was one of several schools already in existence when the districtreorganized in 1949. The original building was constructed as a high school and grammarschool. The building has been here since 1910 and additions were completed in 1965 and1978. A 2002 bond issue funded an addition and renovation at Greenwood.

Mason Elementary Schoolis located on the districts far eastern side just north of LakeLotawana, an older lake community. The original Mason building was constructed in 1942with additions built in 1951, 1956, 1965 and 1978. A large addition was completed in 2000.

Lees Summit High Schoolis located near downtown Lees Summit just off highway 50seastern outer road. Building B, located farthest from the highway, houses freshmen andsophomores. It was constructed in 1963. Building A, home to juniors and seniors, wasconstructed in 1951. This building opened its doors in January 1953, and the first graduatingclass at this school was June 1953. The Fieldhouse, constructed in 1963-64, and thePerforming Arts Center, built in 1979, are located between the two divisions. A majoraddition, including a lecture hall, was completed during the 2000-01 school year, and a 2002bond issue funded additional renovation at the school.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

If any of you Hazel Grove students have more information about the old school,

please send it to me and I will forward it on to the teacher to be used in their historypresentation. They appreciate all the help they can get pictures would be

wonderful!

An update from our

fearless leader

Ed Heinlein

This month I am extremely late in writing this effort. I am certain that, when I die, if

(when?) I am sent Down instead of Up, I will be sent over to a group assigned to writinga book entitled Seven Secrets of Highly Ineffective Procrastinators. It wont be long

before the group realizes just how autobiographical such an effort would be for me!

You will remember that Miss Wiltsee taught us to avoid using the word I to start a

sentence, as it might make us seem to be egotistical. This evening I beg Miss W. to grant

me an unless its necessary exception. You see, this months blub is ALL about me.Well, not exactly Me per se; rather, I want to share some thoughts I have about the

Classs Scholarship.

Although it never was intended to be so, I have heard that some Classmates who felt that

they could not support the grant to a highly deserving LSHS graduate because it honored

only one of the Class, not all. I believe differently.

I think it is a memorial scholarship in several ways. It certainly memorializes Paul, aman who deserves to be remembered for what and how he used that which he learned at

LSHS to help others. It memorializes members of the Class just by its title: The Class of

1957s Now de facto, it gives us (and, thank God, everybody who contributes to it. -

about 42 % of the donations come from outside donors, including members of other

LSHS classes and friends.)

I also use the Fund to memorialize my friends, Classmates and others when they pass on .

I make a donation each time a Classmate dies; my donation is noted, in memory of .

This is a very personal thing, giving me one more chance to say, Goodbye to fallenClassmates. I can do so with complete anonymity, as I know neither my name nor the

amount of my gifts will be published.

The Scholarship also memorializes the tradition of excellence and spirit of this now

nationally known high schooltradition and spirit which we helped start, according toour good friend and hero, Jim Brockman. And, as well, it memorializes the students who

receive our award. Jim supported our Scholarship; the first donor and, also, was among

the top five donors to it! (Look out, now, here comes the commercial!)

We have most recently lost four neat, important, worthy people: Bobbie Andes, Ted

Atkins, Jim Barrows and Jim Brockman. It is my hope that the dearth of donations so far

in memory of these fine folks is due to the procrastination of many like me. (I sent mydonations in the names of these four just yesterday!) We have so far received only eight

donations in memory of Jim Brockman, six of which came from outside the Class!

Arise, fellow procrastinators!!!!!!!

Richard LeRoy Barrows LSHS 57 Lee and his family

This message was shared with us by Larry Beary, a very good friend of Lees thru the years:

Lee passed in his sleep on Friday morning, 9-28-2012. He was with family and had visited with many

friends. There are no ceremonies as he donated his body to the willed body program in Dallas. He

believed that even in death, he could help another! They picked him up promptly and will return his

ashes in 24 months for burial or disbursement. He had been in the care of Mission Hospice and needed

for nothing. They met all of his comfort needs. Thanks for your love and friendship. Kathy

And here is an outline of Lees life, as well as memories of his friend Larry . . .

The Life & Times of Richard LeRoy Barrows written by Larry Beary

This story is my recollection of Lees life from my friendship perspective. Lee was my ever, ever bestfriend from grade school in KC. It was probably the year that I went to 13 different schools in one

year when I met him. Lee then moved to Lees Summit and lived out of town just off of 10E at theoutskirts of town. Down the road and just across the tracks was a small place on the left. That iswhere he went to school. His mom was remarried to Harvey Keeble in which Marie bore 2 childrenDale and Sandy Sandy being the oldest and Dale the youngest. Dale was the first to pass away veryyoung. Sandy passed away many years later. Harvey was a sickly type of person and I rememberhim not doing much around the place except watch baseball. Marie took care of Sandys Children andshe had quite a few, mostly half-brothers & sisters.

After graduation Lee went his way and I went my way. We both joined the Army; I joined on April 7th1958 after graduation. I went to Basic and wound up in Canada for two winters and a summer, andafter discharge I got drafted for another year and went to Fort Bragg North Carolina. Lee was

stationed in Alaska for most of his service. He was there less than 2 years I would guess. He marriedan Eskimo native and they homesteaded a section of land, I think was 360 Acres. He built a log cabinfor them to live in and they had one child. Before the 18 months was over that they had to live on theland, Lee was transferred out. I think Anchorage or outside of Anchorage is where he was stationedand his Homestead was. He gave the land to his wife and came back to the USA. While stationedthere Lee drove a large tow truck and on one of his outings he drove it off into a crevice; the accidentkilled his co-driver. After getting out of the truck he was rescued, the co-driver was gotten out andthe truck was left in the crevice. (It is probably still there in the ice somewhere up North in Alaska)

One time while we were still in school, Lee had a motorcycle and was clocked at over 100 miles anhour going down the highway toward Harrisonville. I think that was 71 Highway Bypass back then.Boy times have really changed. My last trip back, nothing was the same. It made me very sad. Inever saw one person I knew from living there. My Great-Grandfather, Walter Scott Coalbank, has ahouse he built there, just off of 10E in town about one and a blocks, that is on the Historical

Record.

After school and service we parted and went different ways for many years. Found him again inOakland, California, where I stayed with him and his friend and family when I moved up from LAriding on a 40 foot tractor & trailer. We had both bought Harleys and rode all over the countrytogether. Then I moved on and went to Port Orchard, Washington, and bought a place, did someappliance work and became a Carpenter Apprentice Instructor at Olympic College for a total of 21years.

Well, Lee moved on also and wound up in San Diego driving a truck again. He married a lady namedLeAnn; they had two children. A boy, Larry, named after me and the girl, I think Ann Marie, after thewife Ann and Lees mother Marie. Ann became a dancer in the night clubs around San Diego andknew most of the Navy boys there. So Lee was back on the road driving long haul to Texas and many

other southern states. It was during this time he met another trucker named Dee. They started todrive driver and co-pilotand eventually got married and bought a place in Grandbury, Texas.

They had a very happy marriage for many, many years. Im not sure how many. Lee had a job nowof driving a concrete truck and eventually hurt his back enough that he had to quit driving. He retiredand it wasnt long after that Dee passed away. She donated her body to Science and Lee also signedup to do the same. During the time they were married, Dee & Lee met a lady that didnt live far away

from them and they became best of friends. A couple of years after Dees death Kathy, the closefriend, asked Lee to come live with her and help keep up the place. She had a room for him of hisvery own. He then rented out his mobile to a nice lady and made the move. Lee had known thatKathy was a registered nurse and it really came in to play when he came down very sick.

From this heart failure, he finally succumbed on September 28th in the AM 2012. He passed away in

his sleep. He had Hospice with him for 2 or 3 weeks and they supplied all his needs and he neversuffered. They picked up is body the same day and took it to Dallas, Texas. He leaves behind manydear friends and family. Lee had a very dear heart and often would cry about something that wasclose to his heart.

Goodbye my very dearest friend, I loved you as my brother. I will miss you. Sorry my friend notmuch to say after 73 years in my life. I know you could have filled in a lot and wrote a book of yourtimes here on earth. But, God knows all you have done. Your best friend, and thanks from me also.Larry B

After my visit to Hazel Grove Elementary, I stopped by to see Carol Ann & Cecil Robbins;

I cant ever go to L.S. without stopping by there! Cecil looked great; youd never know hehad a problem. . .always in good spirits and full of stories to tell. I told him I didnt

remember him being such anornery little kid! AND they just celebrated another

anniversary. Their doors are always open to ol friends stopping by to visit.

Heres a health update from Louise (Bernard 59) Hobbs on her granddaughters . . .

Here are our "girls" about a month old......doing much betterand Mom and Dad are getting intothe routine - LOVING IT!!! They are so precious (naturally we're a LITTLE biased...). Thanksfor all the prayers and support....it was and is GREATLYappreciated. Happy Birthday to all theOctober people. Louise

And from the mailbox . . .

A message from Joyce (Allen 58) Hook; apparently there was some confusion regarding

the story last month in the Safety Patrolsection of the NL . . .

I decided I better let you know that the Wal-Mart thing did not happen to me. It was just aforward. Carol Ann just called me and we had a good laugh. She sounded so good. Joyce

Sorry if anyone else read it the wrong way. Many times I show a story coming to me froma friend, but it wont necessarily have originated from that person. Usually just one ofthose cute or informative email forwards. Ill try to be more careful next time!

Looks like the word of our newsletter is getting around. I received the following messagefrom Patty (Patterson 56) Iseman . . .

I have been meaning to email you and have you add me to your list. Joe Rittman forwards it to

me or I see it on Facebook. I also want to tell you what a wonderful job you are doing with it. Itis really great to see what is going on with people you went to school with and you do an

outstanding job of passing that on. It also has it's very sad moments such as Ted Atkins, but I

guess that is to be expected as we get older. It is funny how you remember things, but one thingI remember about you, Georgeanne and I was when your dad took us to Raytown to sell

something door to door (I can't remember what is was), but I made enough money to buy a tennis

racket. We used to go to the city park and play tennis. They even had lights on the court afterdark. I wonder who turned them on and off? Do you remember that?

Keep up the good work................. Patty (Patterson) Iseman

Always good to hear from ol friends from the past!

From Karen Winterowd . . .

Marilyn - do you remember Margaret Ann Rolls from high school & LS? She was my "pledge mother" at

A very small picture, but BIG FUN during lunch at Olive Garden recently for

six girls from 58 . . . Linda Stark, Bonnie Muckey, Linda Cornelius, Jolene

Abell, Carol Ann Downing and Lila Warren. Im told they had a great time

together again! Notice I used their high school names; thats how I remember

them

And another small photo sorry, but just cant make them any larger without

being way too blurry. If you look closely tho, you will recognize Bob Hoke,

Leonard Jones and Cecil Robbins. They had a great visit, Im told, when Bob

and Leonard stopped by. Since losing two of their Angel buddies ( Fred &

Ted), Im sure they reminisced over a lot of cool memories from LSHS days.

Dee Ann & Ed Herde have settled into North Fort Myers, Fla. Heres her message to all:

Oh, its soooo nice when some classmates actually respond to my pleas for NL input.

I received this picture via email from Don Rittman; he said that he remembered I had asked, back

in a previous NL, for Halloween photos to publish in October.

I replied back to him, saying Youve GOT to tell me more about this photo! Next thing I knewmy phone was ringing. Yes, it was Donnie. The photo was taken at a neighborhood bar where he

hangs out (Cheers??); instead of purchasing one of those expensive Halloween costumes, he made

his own. Bought the black t-shirt, cut the hole in front (yes, that is his belly you see), and painted

the face on his own belly. He said he took a wire coat hanger, bent and stitched it around the hole

to hold it in place. How creative! And, if you are interested in knowing just who the pretty little gal

next to him is, I did ask shes one of the bartenders at the establishment in her cheerleading

costume.

Speaking of Halloween costumes, I just have to add

this picture that came to me on Facebook; some of youmay have seen it too cute! This kids parents builthis Halloween costume around his wheelchair.

Nice note from Carol Berry after receiving the Special Edition honoring Mr. Brockman:

Marilyn,

Thank you for sharing this information which I am sure has brought comfort for the many of us

who have had the privilege of being a small part of this dear man's life. He was a principal,

mentor, friend and guide for many of us as we sought to prepare ourselves for the life outside ofhigh school. Thanks also to Jim for sharing with each of us so that we could feel a part of Mr.

Brockman's day of Celebration. Carol Berry

An update from Margaret (Davis 57) Offen . . .

We went to Pomme de Terre for a few days on vacation. Didn't catch much fish (3) but we did go to

Springfield to visit my aunt and pick up a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 she gave me with 92,000 miles on it. It's

really a beauty. Tom has done some work to it, needs to adjust the carb, etc. When he gets that fixed, it

will run like a top. It's really a big car. We will probably sell it after my aunt passes (she's 93) but until

then, we will keep it in tip top shape. Tom hurt his back again and we had to go to VA to get more shots

in his back and he is doing okay now. My son, Rick, finally got a good job after 3 years of looking and

just loves it. He is in sales and is doing a fantastic job. Now if he could find a good woman, my prayers

would be answered before I leave this world.

***** PLEASE have everyone who is going to the gtg with Ed on Saturday, the 27th of October, get

back to me no later than October 20th. [email protected] 816-868-9085 It will be at the Lakewood

Oaks Golf Club, 651 NE Saint Andrews Cr, L.S. Drinks at 6:30 and dinner at 7:00. If you see any problems

in the time, let me know. Hope we have a good turn out for him. Nothing much more to write so will

close for now. Take care, Margaret

Safety Patrol

I had one of thosesolicitation phone calls the other day, this one from the Firefighters

Assn. It wasnt the usual we need your $$ conversation. He was a very friendly youngman (at least he was friendly, and SOUNDED young). He asked for my support only one

time and not in a begging tone. Then he started a conversation about smoke detectors andchanging the batteries on a regular basis. I told him we DO have smoke detectors and I

always change the batteries when I put up my Christmas tree. I thought a regular occasion

like that helped me remember to do it and he agreed. Except, he said, we recommend thatyou change the batteries twice a year. Some batteries may not last a whole year. So we

recommend that you change them when you change your clocks for daylight savings time.

That way you are pretty much guaranteed full coverage and maximum safety, and still at a

minimal cost. Sounded like a great idea to me!

So now, with daylight savings time coming up on Sunday, November 4th

, its time to getthose batteries bought and sitting ready for installation. Then, at bedtime on Nov. 3

rd

AND your batteries!!

Classmates birthdays coming in November. . . HAPPY
