The good old days at Lucas High School


A friend of the museum brought these three images of Lucas High School students in the other day to share. They're part of his collection, so we'll not be keeping them, but have added them digitally to the image collection.

The students who formed the Class of 1927 --- 91 years ago --- are (top row from left) Eva Vanscoy, Albert Griffith, Harriett Crow and Carl Woolsey; (second row) Everett Vanscoy, Evelyn Peterson, Wade Stark, Helen Halls and Raymond Spencer; (bottom row) Herman Polser, Henry Staffin, Supt. Paul Wells, David Evans and Clarice Phillips.


The 1923-24 Lucas High School girls basketball team consisted of these young women --- Ruth Skidmore and Eudora Cunion in the first row, Marie Skidmore, Freddie Jones and Vera Polser in the second; and Eva Vanscoy, Miss Dansdell (coach) and Bernice Reese in the third row.


The 1924-25 girls basketball team included (from left) Irene Woods, Helen Halls, Evelyn Peterson, Margaret Peterson, Clarice Phillips, Eva Vanscoy Opal Russell, Edna Johnson, and Mrs. Carolyn Pim, coach.

Lucas High School graduated its final class --- nine students --- during May of 1959. Thereafter, students in the Lucas district attended Chariton High School.
