Tonight I am to go to the Stork Club: To a class reunion of the 1955 class of Columbus Grove, Ohio. There will be many celebrities there. Well, here we are at the Stork Club. Who's that coming this way? Why it's Dick Hitchcock and Margaret Bartz, who now own the biggest dairy in the U.S. Of course, they have six little helpers. Why who is that with a diamond studded tux? Why it's Dennis Siefker, who struck gold in Alaska. Jo Miller and Gary Allen are passing out free orchids. They own the largest florist shop in New York. They have twelve children to help them in the work. Oh, Yesl We are greatly honored by having the famous airplane designer, James Theodore Baer, and his wife Janet Jones. There is Secretary of Agriculture Bill Begg. Carol Solomon is a famous old-maid bird trainer. Karel King, the executive of Woo1worth's, is coming late of course. She has so much business to attend. Alice Schroeder now has her own office in downtown New York: she is a doctor, of course. Jack Kissell is coming in his new Cadillac. He is making so much money being president of the Chio Power Co. Marilyn Meyer and Evelyn Fruchey are still talking about their large, double wedding. They both married famous designers. Marilyn Benroth is a laboratory technician for the famous Albert Einstein of our day, Bob Brubaker. Jean Moore has just returned from Africa. and is telling everyone of her exciting adventures. Bud Emick has taker Arthur Godfrey's place on T.V., while Peggy King is Mrs. Godfrey. Mary Best, who is a school teacher, is also the wife of famous Dr. Don Evans. Allan Eversole now owns both Koh1's and Agners' market. His book work is done by Carolyn Mc- Namara. Judy Nichols has made her first debut on T.V. Many have thrilled to her lovely voice. Kay Mayberry designs clorhingg and, Donna Stratton, from the Baxter Modeling School, models for them. Bev Reithmeier has just become head of Macy's famous fashion department. Well, what do we have here? Jay McAdams has just invmted a new camera which enlarges and colors a picture in one minute. He is helped very much by his assistant Martha Fuerst. At the back table we see Ronald Schindler, who is the judge for the coming Miss America contest. With him is Mary Clara Fuerst. who is one of the contestants for Miss America. Patsy Carpenter is now teaching the fourth grade in PX 24. We hear Kenny Alstaetter's eldest son is her star pupil. Larry Edwards is now a news forecaster on T.V., ar1d is now married to Margaret O'Brien. There is the famous fodtball player from Ohio State. who made fifty touchdowns in the last game. lt's none other than Joe Blankemeyer. Leroy Maag now owns the Coca Cola Company: he has made quite a change in the last ten years. Who are those two distinguished looking space men over there? Why it's Bob Kohli and Merlin Gerde- man, who have invented a rocket ship which travels to Mars and back in three days. The rocket ship has two airline hostesses, Dorothy Watkins and Jean Hitchcock. Frank Cartwright is vice-president of the Sohio Oil Company. His marriage to Marilyn Monroe's daughter was quite a shock to everyone. Dennis Kohli now ovms the Ford Motor Company and has invented a red car which goes so fast they haven't been able to stop it yet. You will find Helen Ricker telling Dorothy Smith. Eleanor Risser. and Joyce Radabaugh how much cheaper children are by the dozen. These old, married women can't seem to agree. Why there's Noretta Rogers, who runs the largest old-maid club. Someone said J uluis La Rosa and she have been seeing a lot of each other. Q11 yes, we still have two more movie stars in our classg Glenn Martz and Maynard Bok. Richard Caudill now is mayor of Columbus Grove. This ends an exciting evening at the Stork Club. Geel Wasn't it wonderful being a member of the class of 1955? 20 Ill TOIlY of CLASS of 55 Education--the result of. and the reward for, years of serious, studious application. Although we, the class of 1955, surely felt we were blazing a trail back in 1943 it behooves us to consider and realize there were those who traveled the same trail before us. The very fact that we are graduating this year indicates that at least a few. in whose footsteps we followed, applied themselves mindfully and considerably more diligaitly than others. They were our teachers--to whom we shall be eternally grateful for their knowledge, understanding, and most of all, their patience. It was Mrs. Helen Gulker, of Ottawa, who greeted 44 of us, 12 years ago, as we were parentally embarked into a new world. Our success in the ensuing years is attributed to the fine start she gave us at such an early age. Our class consisted of Emma Arn, Margaret Bartz, William Begg, Marilyn Benroth, Mary Martha Best, Eleanor Bixel, Donald Billingsley, Sue Ellen Blosser, Patsy Ann Carpenter, Joyce Ann Davis, Don Evans, Allan Eversole, Larry Edwards, Evelyn F ruchey, Judy Geckle, Richard Hitch- cock, Jean Howell, Richard Irvin, Nancy Ann Joseph, Karel King, Dennis Kohli, Robert Kohli, Kay May- berry, Donald Meyers, Arthur Meyers, Ilo Meyers, Glen Martz, Ronald McDowell, Jay McAdams, Jackie Martin, Gary Mitchell, Ronald Mitchell, Dennis Nauman, Judith Nichols, Lavada Parker, J acquelyn Pingle, Noretta Rogers, Paul Ridinger, Donald Ritter, Joyce Radabaugh, Donna Lou Stratton, Betty Jo Scott, and Sonya Steinhour. Our class normally progressed to the care and guidance of Mrs. Emma Sarka, grade two, where we began to learn, without actually realizing, that life is full of mysteries. Others among the mystified were Frank Cartwright, Daniel Harshman, Peggy King, and Dorothy Watkins. Mrs. Ellen Roberts greeted us for our third year, on the road to development and knowledge, and none of us realized her knowledge for development. And her development problems also included Shirley Betts, Donald Cummins, Mary Margaret Mackin, and Wanda Spallinger. Mrs. Florence Brooks now became our beacon, the light in whose rays our fourth year was made bright. Her class was comprised of Gary Allen, Bob Brubaker, Janet Jones, William Ogle, William Roberts, and Jim Baer. Mrs. Lucille Custer must have felt she was making her last stand when her fifth grade in 1947 included Marlette Barber, Dale Elliot, Eleanor Risser, Mary Smith, and Albert Studer. In this class we learned among other things, how to make friends, through writing to pm pals. Our sixth year was spent with Mrs. Margene Shieldler, and we were fortified with the personalities of Rosemary Austin arid Ketmeth Kellogg. It is quite probable Mrs. Shiedler's time was well spent before the semester terminated. In our seventh year we literally moved up--Upstairs . We now became the responsibilities of Mrs. Helen Ridgeway. But we did assume the dignity of our station to present a chapel program, A Gost For Alfred . ln our eighth year, for the first time, our advisor was a man, Mr. Collins Stackhouse and to him fell the task of final preparation for our big step into high school. His efforts, of course, were success- ful. Our freshman year brought us new friends as well as a broader horizon. The friends from Cairo were Kenny Alsteatter, Maynard Bok, Bud Emick, Merlin Gerdeman, Rosemary Glasco, Jo Miller, Carolyn McNamara, Ronald Schindler, Dennis Siefker, and Carol Solomon, and, from St. Anthony's were Joe Blankemeyer, Mary Clara Fuerst, Martha Fuerst, Mary Martha Halker, Jack Kissell, Marilyn Meyer, Le Roy Maag, Gladys Schumacher, Helen Ricker, and Alice Schroder. Advising us carefully and wisely through this important first year of high were Mr. Wade Shank and Mr. William Riley. They passed us on to Miss Jane McNary and Mr. Harry Burson for our sophomore year the year, in which we selected our class rings. Miss Janet Funk and Mr. Eugene Basinger welcomed us to our junior year. The class also wel- comed Eula Jean Moore into our class. Our class rings arrived in October, and our play presentation was symbolically Going Places . Our prom was an important event to all of us with Mardi Gras as the theme. Then almost before we realized it, we became seniors. During these twelve years there were, undoubtedly, times when at least some of us felt the span was endless. But now we know it was perhaps the most important time of our lives. And only through the painstaking, untiring efforts of our instructors in each of the twelve years have we attained this goal in complete preparation for the full interesting years ahead. 21' Grateful for such wonderful guidance in learning that we may better learn to guide those who may become our responsibilities, are, Gary Allen, Kenneth Alstaetter, James Baer, Margaret Bartz, William Begg, Marilyn Benroth, Mary Martha Best, .Toe Blankemeyer, Maynard Bok, Robert Brubaker, Patsy Carpenter, Frank Cartwright, Richard Caudill, Larry Edwards, Bud Emick, Don Evans, Allan Eversole, Mary Fuerst, Martha F uerst, Merlin Gerdernan.
