CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1955, a group of scared, but eager, freshmen began their long journey toward graduation. To lead us as we entered our high school launching site the class of '59 elected James Lind, president, Harry Wilhelm, vice-president, Janet Rogers, secretary, and Barbara Reitz, treasurer. Student Council representatives were Barbara Kniss, Mary Coolidge, and Larry Anderson.

Student Council representatives were Barbara Kniss, Pam Heldt, and Larry Anderson.

Student Council representatives were Alfretta Maxcy, James Lind, and Barbara Reitz. Larry Anderson was elected Student Council vice-president.

THE DESTINY OF THE CLASS OF 959 Kintups was elated! He was in a new world, a world of planets, meteors, and shooting stars, all set in an endless span of darkness. It was May 22, 1959, the date for the reunion of the mighty class of 1959. As his space ship shot through the dark mysterious atmosphere, Kintups began to think of the forty-four graduates of Bayard High and to wonder what they had, been doing these twenty years. At-commencement, each of those seniors had had such a look of anticipation and eagerness when he received the scroll which testified to the efforts he had exerted while in the cradle of education. Had those faces remained shining or were they marred with the. defeats and knocks of life? Well, Kintups thought. I'll soon find out, for the huge mass commonly known as the moon was now coming into sight. Upon landing on the planet of craters and varying temperatures, Kintups was greeted by JIM LIND, who is a big contractor on »the moon. Jim just finished laying plans for a new parking place with all facilities for teenagers. During the course of their conversation, Kintups learned that MARY COOLIDGE, and ALFRETTA MAXCY are employed as hair dressers of the star. Miss JANET ROGERS, of the new Broadway hit, The Cow Jumped Over the Moon. Continuing their conversation, Kintups informed Jim that he had received a letter from CLIFF CALVERT, who lives on Pluto. Cliff had written that he was unable to join them due to his research experiments on a human guinea pig, LARRY FUNK. Needless to say, Larry was also unable to attend. Just at this moment, another rocket landed, came to a spectacular stop, and out jumped GEORGE SUHR, GARY WALKER, and ROBERT HULLINGER. My! How these three had changed. George Suhr was now a banker on the planet Venus, which is the all-girl planet. He sure looked happy! Gary had grown fat, due to his work as a garbage, or rather candy wrapper collector on Mars. But Robert didn't have too gay an expression on his face, because the youngest of his fifteen children had just broken an arm again. Gary remarked that their rocket had passed another rocket, also. The group waited anxiously as a distant speck in the sky came closer, emerged into the expected rocket, and finally hit the runway. Why, there was a whole bunch of former classmates. In the next few hours, Kintups soaked up news about his former friends. While talking to them and about them, he learned that: His friend, LARRY KNAUB, is quite well and rich. He spent his time sailing his yachts and loafing on the beaches of Bermuda. Poor HARRY LEE WILHELM had died. The sad accident happened when Harry was trying to capture the ring around the planet Saturn to use as a hoola-hoop on class night. BARBARA KNISS is a grandmother. Everyone congratulated her. My! How time does fly, doesn't it! LARRY KILDOW is a rocket salesman, and he still has all his ole charm plus some more. LINDA BOWDEN is currently employed as a dietician on a cattle farm on Saturn. HUGH GENOWAYS now counts corn flakes at the Kellog plant at Battle Creek, Michigan. EVA SEIGFRIED is the proud owner of a cement mixer and does odd jobs around Mars. DELORES FEGLER is a cowboy, or a girl on the moon. Cattle branding is her speciality. PATTI SITTNER is the superintendent of good ole Bayard High and reportedly still cries at every graduation exercise. PAT SUHR and MARILYN VOGEL are employed as janitors at BHS; they just can't leave their dear Alma Mater. LARRY NAB is finally getting married tomorrow. LINDA CRABB, well, she is still a juvenile delinquent. JODEE KAASCH has won fame as the world's greatest woman boxer. JOE CASARES is also famed for his spectacular coaching in the football season at Notre Dame. PAM HELDT plays first chair sax in Duke Ellington's band. VANCE NELSON is the new editor of the New York Times—the former editor having been assassinated.— Hmmmmmmm. ROGER GREEN is in the midst of prosecuting a brilliant case against jet ace Jimmy Dunder, who has shot down BOB FEIL'S rocket during an interplanetary war. These people are unable to come to the reunion; neither is Sharon Buckhammer, since it was over her the war was being fought. LARRY ANDERSON, MELVIN HUBBARD, TONY LOPEZ, and JERRY SCHWARTZKOPF are partners in a business enterprise called Bachelors Incorporated. JEANEAN HOOD has gone in for medical research. Her current project is putting Carter's Little Liver Pills in gum form. Later that evening at the reunion banquet, JEANNIE SCHAFFER sauntered in quite late. Because of her strenuous modeling schedule in Paris, she was rushed, and today was even more hectic, due to a slight catastrophe. The one and only strap on the Dior creation that she was modeling snapped just as the shutters of the camera snapped. Jeannie mentioned that RAMONA STRICKER sent her regrets at not being able to attend. She is about to become a great grandmother. ELAINE EIBEN also begged to be excused. Since she has set up a practice as a licensed psychologist, the trend of mentally disturbed people has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and she is at the moment quite busily engaged in analyzing the celebrated elephant trainer, VIRGINIA NICKAL. The next morning found Kintups on his way back to his home, Neptune. Oh, but was he sleepy and tired, but what a fine time he had had at the reunion of the great class of 1959! 22
