Senior Class History In the fall of 1938 we entered F. C. H. S. for the first of the four years we were to spend here. Under the guidance of our sponsors, Miss Shook and Miss Sheehan, we elected the following as class officers: Sam Cowan, president; Beth Bryant, vice president; Wibur Bruhn, secretary; Richard Colglazier, treasurer. During that year Richard Colglazier lettered in football. On the Junior Fair Board were Sam Oberst, Howard Weinert, and John Budeit. The following year, as sophomores, we elected as class officers: Dorothy Lichty, president; Vernon Hazelwood, vice president; Bernard Johnson, secretary; Sue Brenner, treasurer. Thcl class was represented in the operetta, “Robin Hood, Inc.”, by Joan Bohrer, Darline Fisher, and Jack Chaffee. The lettermen in our class that year were Richard Colglazier, Ernest Prosser, and James Spears. As juniors we elected as officers: Virgil Falloon, president: Kent Waller, vice president; Betty Latz, secretary; Joe Norris, treasurer. Richard Colglazier, Ernest Prosser, Marvin Young, and Lossie Bowers won football letters. Ernest Prosser won a basketball letter. Our junior play, entitled, “Little Miss Fortune,” had as its cast the following: Naomi Needham, Joan Bohrer, Betty June Burton, Virgil Falloon, Allen Guider, Darlene Liebsch, Dorothy Lichty, Annabel Cox, Bernard Johnson, Elnora Bachenberg, and Jack Chaffee. A one-act play was given entitled “She Was Only a Farmer’s Daughter.” Those taking part in it were Dorothy Lichty, Joan Bohrer, Jack Chaffee, Jack Saly, Annabel Cox, Joe Norris, Janice Slagle, and Naomi Needham. In May, 1941, we were hosts to the seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet which was held at the Prichard Memorial Auditorium. In the last year of our high school career, we elected Richard Colglazier, president; Lossie Bowers, vice president; Annabel Cox, secretary; Allen Guider, treasurer. The Orange and Black staff members were Sue Brenner, Emma Georgia Stout, Dorothy Lichty, Naomi Needham, Beth Bryant, Darline Fisher, Joe Norris, Kent Waller, Virgil Falloon, John Budeit, and Richard Gelwick. Those participating in the senior play “Second Fiddle” were Emma Georgia Stout, Bernard Johnson, Naomi Needham, Betty June Burton, Sue Brenner, Annabel Cox, Joe Norris, Virgil Falloon, and Joan Bohrer. We were represented in the Young Citizens’ Contest by Darlene Liebsch, Naomi Needham, Bernard Johnson, and Vernon Hazelwood. This is only a brief history to tell you some of the things we have done. We wish to thank Miss Sheehan and Miss Shook, our sponsors, for their guidance throughout our high school career. —Sue Brenner

A very important factor in Starkywick is the town newspaper, the “Zagette Gazette.” Dick Gelwick, chief photographer, gets some very interesting shots by use of the infra-red rays. Lois Beckham has a column on page three entitled “Advice to the Love Lorn.” Closely allied to this is Helen Ann Hansen’s syndicated column, “How to be Sure You Have Your Man.” Adding color to the staff is that foreign news correspondent who really gets around, Beth Bryant. Martha Jo Cooper during her last year in high school became suddenly interested in agriculture. A minister has made it possible for her to travel with the most famous agricultural agent in the history of the new world, Ralph Burdick. He is now trying to cross cactus with kaffir corn to produce a cereal. Marie Strecker, who recently inherited the billions left by her Uncle Throt-Morton, established the “High Flyin and Fallutin Airport.” Betty Latz, journalist, in her daily column, suggested to Miss Strecker that sheadvertise her airport by sky writing. Of course, that well-known stunt man, Marvin Young, would undertake the task. The only aviatrix on the field, Margie Simmons, seldom solos, since Sam Oberst and Eugene Engleman are always around to accompany her on her flights. Service of the planes is taken care of by Donald Brackhahn. Virgil Falloon failed to fully realize his ambition—to see the world as a railroad engineer. He isn’t an engineer; however, he is seeing the world—on his own two feet. Vernon Hazelwood, finding nothing better to occupy his valuabe time, has joined Virg and his never-ending expedition. Melvin Johnson superintends an exclusive reducing school. Regina McDermott, honor student, and Lois Houtz, runner-up, have taken for their motto—“Sit less, stoop more, look better than before.” Ed Allen operates the “Roopelly Doopelly Grocery Store.” Because of the competition by Hinky Dinkey, he has been forced to open a ritzy tea room to encourage patronage. Elnora Bachenburg is hostess in the tea room. Next door to this is the “Hub,” a drug store owned and operated by Bob Reed who used to spend so much time in drug stores that he gradually learned the business. His bookkeeper, etc., is Hester Friedly. Frances Abbott is social service worker at the Starkywick Alcatraz for women. Darlene Liebsch, successor to Kate Smith, still isn’t married, but we’re waiting. Bernard Johnson is making money and plenty of it. How? He’s digging ditches on the W.P.A. Laverne Oberst, a wealthy “unclaimed blessing,” has established Mary Sue Jones in a profitable taxi company. So interested in Mary Sue was Miss Oberst that she also endowed her with a secretary, LaVera Schneidewind. A stiff competitor of the Taxi Company is the “Motorcycle Circle Cab Company” run by Bob Wing. Marianne Evans is her husband’s boss. Who would have thought it? The city has enough sailors to have a fleet of its own. Among them are Jack Davidson, Ronald Franklin, and Loren Dale. However, there is something unusual about these boys, they have two girls in every port instead of the conventional one. There are two persons in the class particularly interested in the army air corps. Betty June Lucas is married to a flier; Jack Chaffee has just been promoted to the highest possible rank in the air corps. Katrine Kjeldsen, a socialite, and her two secretaries, Letha Pearson and Thelma Comford, recently arranged a benefit ball. Proceeds were given to the Bachelor’s Club of which Ervin Deckinger is president. Don Tuder, that well known man about town, is contemplating, in his more serious moments, settling down. Only if he does, will Lois McCarty have anything to say about it. Last, but not least, we wish to mention the former Sue Brenner, who is married to a handsome and dashing life guard. There are at present five pairs of shoes under the table at mealtimes. Her next door neighbor is Emma Georgia Stout who is busy taking care of “twin live wiars.” Here ends the review of the history of the class of nineteen forty-two to now.
