Qfcbtaw The title of our class song has much significance for this year's 42 graduating seniors. Moments to Remem- ber -- yes, those are the intangible souvenirs of our twelve years of school which have been given to us by the faculty, administration, and students of Harris-Elmore. We remember that September morning in 1945 when 42 well-scrubbed boys and girls walked through the door of that mysterious building called the schoolhouse and began the portion of their education which was to terminate in 1957. How far off that date seemedl However, the years have flown by, and now, as seniors, we look back in time to the years we have spent in the new very familiar building. Under the watchful eyes of Miss Grace Myers, Mrs. Mildred Arnold, Miss Mattie Heckman, Mrs. Mabel Rozine, Mrs. Garnet Weber, and Mrs. Helen Mercer, we successfully finished the first six years of our school- ing. We often chuckle over memories of cowboy and Indian games, our second grade kitchen band, our pro- duction of The Princess Who Couldn't CryJ spelling contests, our ability to fight about any little thing, and the arts and crafts we all-lovg. We were proud to sing at the dedication of the new auditorium in 1951. Our memories of the seventh and eighth grades are of the usual tween-age activities -- changing classes, more homework, our first dances, and parties. ln the seventh grade the class held a Halloween party at Lowell Knieriem's home and gave the Thanksgiving assembly. ln the eighth grade we had o Christmas party at Bill Kuhlman's home fit was here that we realized what mistletoe was forlj and gave another successful assembly. Both years we enjoyed the annual 7-8 grade party. It was in this period that the class members began to be recognized for their scholastic, athletic, and musical abilities. As freshmen we came back to school to find that eight students from Benton Township had joined us for the remaining four years. This year our Halloween party was at Janet Kuhlman's farm. We had many hearty laughs over the ridiculous outfits those initiated into G.A.A. and F.F.A. wore to school. We sponsored a successful dance and gave an assembly entitled The Millionaire Family. The sophomore year ranks high in our memories because we had home room in study hall with the junior class of that year. Again this year we sponsored a dance and gave an assembly entitled A Day in the Life of a Typical Harris-Elmore Student. We returned as juniors flashing the class rings we had received during the summer. Our play was entitled A Ghost On The Loose. We remember also the many hours we spent in the lower halls preparing decorations for the Juiolnior Prom, for which we chose the theme Neptune's Garden. Of course the evening of the Prom was memorable in itself. The latest memories we have are those from our senior year. Although we were always an active class, this year seemed busier than ever. We enjoyed preparing and presenting the play, Ten O'Clock Scholar. The Prom, Fairyland Romance, given in our honor, was an unforgettable evening. We lma enjoyed choosing pic- tures, invitations, namecards, and all the other things essential to graduation. The Class of 1957 leaves behind it an outstanding record of achievement, both in scholastic and extra-curricular fields. However, we will also be remembered for our ability to get into mischief and to get ourselves out of the punishment for mischief donel Yes, we have many moments to remember, and the ones which will probably remain utmost in our minds will be those of baccalaureate and commencement exercises of this year. Although we have the some number in the class now as we had in the first grade, only 18 of the original class will graduate this year. Our class motto states our feelings at this time -- The past forever gone, the future still our own. t ,mmm fi 4 , Q lrlIltlXX 3,5 .55 ,,f,.2- . IIIBYAIHA :ff :ff Wi: UIISQIBI 1?

P We are now entering Elmore in the year I977. We are returning to see the success of our fellow classmates in their various iobs. On the outskirts of town, we see Larr Deacon running through the streets with Jane Deitemyer right behind him. But things are not what they seem. Behind them is an angry crowd runnfn the same direction and with intent to do harm to Larry and Jane. It seems Larry Deacon is in the steal trade. He steals all day and trades it by night. Jane Deitemyer is his defense attorney. After walking a short distance down the street, we see a huge building. This is Jim Derickson's shoe empor ium. Jim got his start as a cobbler specializing in engineer boots and blue suede shoe-sf We now buy a paper and find that Patti James, a professional widow whose eighth husband has bitten the dust, is to be married to Milan Kardatfla-a professional widower who has left ll wives. Of course, Jim Bol- ander has made Milan a gift of 40 copies of his earth-shaking book, 99 WAYS TO OUTSMART A PROBBS-i SIONAL WIDOW. In charge of the ceremony is Justice of the Peace, Bud Widmer, who has made quite aname for himself in performing weddings. ' - On the next page of the paper, we see that Alice Avers has again saved the day with her skill and ingen- uity. Alice, it seems, set out to become an airline stewardess, but instead became a smoke jumper. Just below this is an article telling of the latest findings of the renowned nuclear physicist, Ruth Ann Longenecker. '- - Dn the next page we see a picture that is strangely familiar. Looking close we see that the picture is of Jo Ann Widmer, the new model for the picture on the Old Dutch cans. Business is said to be booming now. - -Tifning to the funny section, we see cartoons by the famous Alan Witt, who has nearly reached his Witt's end trying to think up funny gags. Also on this page are works bmlw. Rex always wanted to be a poet, but he could never get his words to rhyme. Then he took up cartoomg and has learned to make his pictures rhyme. Don't ask how this is done, it's all in the unforseeable future. Now as we return to our car, we notice something unusual about the traffic on the streets of Elmore. The reason is a brilliant innovation by Douglas Pickard. His idea was to put cement tires on cars and have rubber roads. This saves tires. We now enter the business establishment of Miles Kardatzke. Miles has invented and patented a device that does nothing, therefore, can be used for loafing. He invites us into his office to watch some of our class- mates on the 2 Million Yen Question. The program is sponsored by Barbara Ma si , a shorterella technician. Barbara probably got her idea from Lowell Knieriem, the renowned slenderella technician. The 2 Million Yen Question is followed by a mystery story directed by Mrs. Dora Coleman. The key to the story is a device invented by Robert Kuhlman which is a sort of burglar alarm that follows the burglar into the house, sneaks up behind him, taps him on the shoulder, and in a loud, clear voice exclaims, and we quote, Bool This show is presented by the -If-aye Rothert school of hypnotism. The school is now running a senatorial investigation on the financial affairs of Bridey Murphey. After this, we decide we have watched enough television and Miles has told us that some of our classmates can be found around the old school, so we summon enough courage to go to the salt mines. ln the school yard, we see Karen Jacobs practicing pole vaulting. Karen holds the world champion pole vault championship having pole-vaulted 43 feet on a mandolin pick. As we wander out to the stadium, we see Hn- Dolph practicing. As you all know, Tom was the one who devised the method for flying by flapping his arms. However, this type of flying is very exerting and should not be attempted by men over 6. We now enter the auditorium of the pit and here we see Barbara Moellman working out. Barbara, we learn, is a judo instructor in the United States Marines. She is on furlough now and trying to keep in shape. Just as we leave, a terrifically loud burst of music reverberates through the auditorium, then it picks up momentum and loudness till it becomes a form of theold fashioned, pardon the expression, Rock 'n' Roll. On taking a closer look, we see that it is Beatrice Hetrick, who is working hard to revive, pardon the expression, Rock 'n' Roll. Working along with Beatrice is L nda Semrock, now a popular hillbilly singer. She got herideas for a singing style from her visits to the Metropolitan Opera. 21
