As the yellow rose grows brighter Thereby life and light to gain; So may we with grit and patience Strive to reach a higher plane. As life open now before us, And true honor can be won; Pleasures too and bitter sorrows In their turn are sure to come, Let us be content with knowing God rules both on land and sea; While we ever love and cherish Memories of 53 ,

CLASS PROPHECY This beautiful spring morning in June 1963 finds my wife and me returning to our home in Bittinger from a trip to Portland, Oregon, where I represented the state of Maryland at the National Farm Bureau Convention. We left a week early so we could visit some of my classmates who are scattered throughout the United States, I would like to tell you about my trip. We stopped at Stahl's store to fill the car up with gas when we saw Bob Beachy carrying a sack of Wayne Fertilizer to his truck. Bob says he has to get something to make those potatoes grow faster so he can-get more money to build his future wife Jo Ellen Buckel a house, Jo Ellen i still nursing at the University of Maryland Hospital where she completed her training. I heard the train whistle blow and when I looked across the field at the train, the engineer wa ved, It was Merle Hoover who has taken over his father's postion as engineer on the Jennings Special. As I stopped at the bank in Grantsville for some much needed money, I met John Kurtz depositing a roll of money which he is making from his beef farms in Garrett County, As I was traveling through Meyersdale to get on tne Super Highway I noticed a big neon sign, Betty and Mary's Beauty Salon. Betty Resh and Mary Stanton have married the Miller boys and they own and operate the beauty salon in partnership, At Somerset we got on the turnpike and started toward Pittsburg, We were listening to a half hour program of recorded music by the nation's top recording star, Homer Hoover, from station KDKA. We knew Homer would take Bing's place someday, Since we had plenty of time we stopped in Pittsburgh to spend the night. As I was watching the Pirates finish their first game of the season on the television set in our motel, I thought they had im- proved, Just then the sports announcer called attention to the Pirates new pitcher, Glenn Patton, who was one of my classmates, As the game was over the announcer said, This is Owen Bittinger, signing off for the Pittsburgh Pirates, I thought that voice sounded familiar, My wife loved to listen to the Pittsburgh Philharmonic Orchestra, so we went to see and hear it that night. As we glanced over our programs a name stood out from the rest, It was Jane Bowman, now a concert pianist for the orchestra, The next morning when we were leaving town I saw a big billboard reading, “Reck- less Ringers Dare Devils, I said to my wife, That must be Charlie Ringer, my old classmate. Out in the country I noticed a man working away on a barn roof, As I came nearer I could see that he was carrying out the new idea of painting landscape scenes on barnroofs. Since I was interested in this I stopped to talk to him, To my surprise the man coming down the ladder was Don Wengerd, He said he was quitting work early because his wife was entertaining a group of secretaries at a bridge party that evening. He asked if I knew that Eloise Durst was working as a secretary for a large steel corporation in Pittsburgh, When entering the town of East Liverpool, Ohio, I thought of Margarite Minick and upon inquiry from a policeman as to where she lived, found that he was her husband. He invited us to their home for lunch. Margarite told me that Charlotte Shultz and Martha Enlow had worked for three years in a factory in Akron and now they are married and raising their families. She told me also, that Betty Artice had married Jim Uphold and they are running a chicken farm in a little town near Youngstown, Our next stop was in Mansfield where I went into the post-office to mail some letters, Entering the post-office I saw that the postmistress was Freda Resh. During the few minutes we talked, she told me that Bob Diehl has forgotten that Chevrolets exist and is now a supersalesman for the Ford Company in Detroit. He is really working so he can buy
