RECORDINGS OF THE PAST It's been a long time .since I looked through this old kodak album of mine. I've always been glad I kept it during my high school years. Those were the days of candid camera pictures, you know. I always enjoy looking at these pictures, it sort of takes me back to my youth. My, this album is dusty and dirty. 1t's been on the top shelf of that cupboard for all of fifty years. Land sakes! How time does fly. Well, here's the very first page with a picture of the Freshman class. There were forty of us that year. Look at Gus Brown back there, he was our president that year, and there's Robert Dull, our vice-president, and oh,, yes, there's our secretary-treasurer, Don Mottinger. Now, just look at Mr. Wise in the back rowg in all the four years he was our sponsor, he didn't change a bit, as far as looks were concerned. Land sakes alive. Here's a snapshot just atter our initiation into high school, all of us wearing our clothes backwards, with green ribbons tied on our hair and necks, and splashes of lipstick on our faces. Poor little innocent freshmen that we were, with our ears burning while the upper classmen jeered! Look at our new teachers, Miss Tuttle, Mss Throop, Mr. Koch., and Mr. W eber, trying to hide in the back row. The boys certainly got back at Mr. Weber that day by making him do the duck walk all down the gym floor. Being freshmen we were game for anything. Despite the weather we had our parties. Here we are in our costumes at the Hallowe'en party held at Gus Brown's. That light certainly makes us look ghastly enough! To climax the year we had a pest hunt. Freshmen against Sophomores. How we lorded it over them when we won and were entertained by the losing side at Charles Hablitzel's home. Atter an enjoyable summer we again took up our pencils, tablets, and textbooks, and attacked our geometry problems, Latin sentences, and world history dates with a vengeance and only a few class members were lost along the way. But all wasn't work the Sophomore year. We skinned our ncses an-d burned our knees on the skating floor and acted quite naturally when we dressed like hocdlums on L'Bums Dayf' Goodness gracious! When this picture was taken Jim Agler and Hugh Gardner used licorice sticks for mustaches. I'd hardly recognize this picture of me that somebody 'snapped when I wasn't looking. And here's a snap of the offi- cers for that year. John High, president, Betty Putman, vice-presidentg Von Mot- tinger, secretaryg and Don Mottinger, treasurer. That summer seemed to go quickly and beiore we knew it, it was time fcr schofl again. I remember that from the merry beginning orf our Junior year we began to center our thoughts upon possible plans for the Junior and Senior Prom. Here we are at our lirst bake sale. We certainly tried hard enough to earn some money and most cf us hadn't any experience. But We soon learned before that day was over. Land of mercy! I had forgotten all about this picture. We did have a Junior class play, didn't we? Now let's see, what was the ,name of that play. Oh, yes, The Gang s All Here. I'll never forget when this picture was taken. The boys carried out a piece of white fence for us to lean on. Yes, and Junior Stahl, with his specta- cles and book looked li-ke a professor of English. Harold and I were both glad we didn't have any black on our faces for that snapshot, even though we did play the parts of a negro ma.id and her bell boy Romeo. And there's Mae Reuter and Dale Hank, who played a married couple's role, and Gus Brown, Joyce Yahn, Jchn High, Dorothy Agler, Robert Dull, Mildred Kline, Mary Ellen Custer, and Thelma Tickle. Yes, indeedy, not that we like to boast but, we received the largest receipts of any production given here. Springtime is tulip time and tulips remind us of Holland. He-re's how those in our operetta., The Windmills of Holland, looked-Hugh Gardner with his old pipe and wooden shoes and Mae Reuter with her long gclden braids. Then we used that windmill for the Junior-Senior Prcm idea. The old mill stood in the corner and on the tables were wooden place cards in the form of Dutch boys and girls, which even we thought were pretty cutet Fortunately for us, it didn't rain and we went to the Schines theatre after the banqufet and program. I just had to have this little snapshot. That year we really had to study for exams, and it was so unusual that I snapped it when no one was looking. Well, back therefs Junior Brubaker with his eyes Hxed on his book and not even whispering. Wasn't that sumpin '? And Warren Chilcote and Waldo Stetler too. What could have come over them? But we all passed that year although some of us were sur- prised. Dear me! Here's a pictrure of the class officers for that year, Gus Brown, presidentg Robert Dull, vice presidentg Mae Reuter, secretary, and well, good lands! I guess I was treasurer that year, 'wasn't I? After a well filled summer vacation we came black to our last year of high School. What distinguished looking Seniors we make. My, we thought we were quite sophis- ticated, and needing capable persons for officers we elected John High, president, Gus Brown, vice presidentg Mary Ellen Custer, secretary and again I was treasurer.
