The scene changes to a small town high school, Directing the gymnastics is our star basketball player, Dorothy Shoemaker, now a physical education teacher in this new high school. Now we see two small cottages. As we look closer we see our old classmates Betty Wilburn and Edna Beal who are now Mrs. Harry Bowser and Mrs. Adolph Felsinger. By the dark skinned natives we can tell it is South America. And of all things, we see our old friend Norma Jean Taylor as a teacher in one of the grass covered huts. The scene changes to Bethesda, Maryland. As the picture grows plainer we see three of our old classmates, Gayle Friend, Catherine McKenzie and Mary Margaret McKenzie as telephone operators. We see there a bank-with our three friends Louise McCrobie, Lavona Humberson and Lois DeWitt working as cashiers. As the picture goes from Bethesda to Washington, D.C., we see Douglas Schroyer and Bill Capel working in the Secret Service for the F.B.I. Also we look around and find our friends Loretta Butler, Alice Glotfelty, and Norma O’Brien who are doing clerical work here. As the scene fades another picture appears and before us we see a hospital. Two nurses are coming down the hall. We can tell by their friendly smiles that they are Juanita Bittinger and Sara Stanton. And there in the Doctor’s office, we find another of our classmates, Barbara Harshbarger, as the Doctor’s secretary. The scene changes to the President’s office where we see his secretary entering his office. As she turns, we see it is none other than Arzona Garlitz. Now the country comes into view. Why look, we are in Finzel! And there in a large comfortable house, we find Virginia Minick, who is now Mrs. Blaine Hostetler. Next we see Grantsville where James Meese is foreman of a big timber business. And now, look, it’s Accident. There on two adjoining farms we find Ruth Harman and Donald Glass and their neighbors are Mona Lea Collier and Wilmer Miller. They have recently tied the knot. Now we see the Accident Stock Yard and we find Don Ringer has taken over the management. Goodness, it looks like our old Alma Mater, Northern Hi. There in a classroom as Math teacher, we find a former student of this school, Mildred Harman. And there waiting to take her home is her husband, Richard Teats. Now the scene goes to a boat on the Ohio river. Here we find Clara Carey who has just become Mrs. William Swauger. They have decided to take their honeymoon on a boat. Appearing next is the city of New York. As we follow the crowd we find our- selves at the Yankee Stadium and here we find two of our classmates Allan Georg and Paul McKenzie, who are now star baseball players. As we near the outskirts of town we see a housing project going up where we find our friend Dale Layman as head carpenter. North Carolina comes into view. We see Ann Stanton as a secretary in a large department store. Now we see a beautiful spot in sunny California. Here in an orange packing house we find Helen Urich and Freda Hutzel. Next we see a city mansion where a party is in progress. As the host and hostess we find Carl Bowser and his wife, Mary Knox, who are making their guests feel at ease. It seems as if we recognize some of the guests. Why yes, there’s Bob Friend and Charles Nugent who are working inCleveland, Ohio. As the mansion fades we see an office. A sign on the door reads: Wright and Frazee, Inc. Could it be — it is, our former classmates, Lambert Wright and Donald Frazee with Alice Friend as their secretary. ab ye

To the Administration and Faculty, we leave all the peace and quiet that they will surely have after we are gone. The Senior Class wills the North end of the second floor to the next graduating class, hoping that the dignity, sophistication, and the intellectuality so carefully ob- served by the present graduating class will remain a constant factor in the years to come. To the Sophomore Class, we leave our ability to roam the halls. To the Freshmen Class, we leave our ability to get through the cafeteria line quickly. To the Eighth Grade, we leave the money in the general fund to buy a lawn mower to cut the new grass. To the Seventh Grade, we leave our ability to stay out of trouble. GAS er RORiteen. We were interested in what the class of 54 would be doing in the coming years sO we went to see Zella, the fortune teller. Ah-h-h as we gaze into her crystal ball the magic begins to work. Before us we see Fairchild’s with Iva Jane Alexander doing clerical work, and there is the Davis Auto Co. with Yvonne Baker as secretary.

We see a Home Ec. class in progress at the University of Maryland. We rec- ognize one of the girls as Mary Glotfelty. As this picture fades we see a sign which says General Motors Inc. and guess whom we see inside behind the manager’s desk? Yes, it’s our old friend Carl Kamp. And we also find that Anthony Layman is head mechanic here. Here in Cleveland we also find Emogene Umbel working in a bank. We see a girl coming down the street. Yes, it’s Eileen Frazee. She is going into a big Super Market where she is president. She waves at a neat looking fellow coming down the street. He looks familiar, it is Dale Friend. Dale works in a steel mill. Next, we see Bob Murphy, who is playing center for: the Minneapolis Lakers basketball team. The next picture’s blurred, now it clears; it’s Fort Knox, Kentucky, an army base. A group of G.I.’s are coming down the walk; two faces seem familiar. They are James Williams and James Mosser. Now we see an air force base and no, it can’t be, but it is—the Commanding Officer, Captain and General, who are three of our classmates, Dale Paugh, Allen Fratz, and Donald Bowman. And there in the kitchen we find Wayne Glotfelty as head cook. The picture fades back to the University of Maryland, where we find Dale Frazee teaching a Vocational Agriculture class. Now we see a Farm Bureau meeting. Lead- ing the discussion is our old classmate John Goehringer with his assistant officers, Fay Butler, Bill Emory, Dale Hetrick, and Joseph Beitzel. The scene changes to Baltimore where we see Alyce Broadwater working as a secretary for a big firm. We also see Robert Reichenbecher working in a factory. Now the picture goes to Cumberland and we see a telephone office and who is chief operator, yes, it's Kathryn Hoye. Now we go down to the airport and whom do we see as an airline hostess, Esther Casteel. I guess she fell hard for the sweet little pilot. The next picture clears, a red and white pole tells us it’s a barber shop, established and owned by our friend and classmate, Jack Warnick. Now we see State Teachers College in Frostburg, where Donna Yommer and Betty Jane Gould are now seniors. It’s the Meyersdale shirt factory coming into view now and we see Wilma Butler standing over one of the girls. We see that Wilma now holds the job as floorwalker. The crowds disappear and we see a little rabbit farm in Grantsville. Here we find Donald Hershberger and his wife, Margaret, just feeding their rabbits. We go from Grantsville to Bittinger where we see a big white building. We move closer and see a milk testing laboratory with our classmate Donald Smith testing the last load of milk that was transported to Bittinger from the William Bowman Milk Co. by Otis Edgar. We see a store on Keyser’s Ridge and guess who are the proprietors! They are Doris Duckworth and Billy Sisler who are now happily married. We thove now from Keyser’s Ridge and go to Hoyes, where we find that Deloris Sines is working. The crystal ball clears and Zella tells us that our adventure is over for now. GUASS ritoi@Rey.
