SENIOR CLASS HISTCRY We now pause after twelve years of school to take inventory, Let's see - we started in the fall of 1931 as 55 little green sprouts on the great tree of education. We almost broke the enrollment record in our second year with 68 pupils. I can distinctly remember Mr. Taylor moving extra seats into his room for us when we were in thc sixth grade. At that time there were 52 of us. Junior high seemed a great advancement, but it didn't compare to 1939 when we tnteied high school as verdant freshmen. David Blush was chosen president and Mr. Skinner sponsor. Joe Irvin ranked with the upper ten percent in the district elimination test for general science, bringing honor to our class for which we were justly proud. While we were gay young sophomores. Bob Stahl was president of the class with Mr. Cress as our sponsor. With this capable leadership the year passed quickly and was brought to a happy climax with a spring frolic and party in the gym. More fun!! By this time we were taking part in practically all the extra curricular activities 5 band, basketball, baseball and vocal music. As jolly juniors we chose Dick Ellinger president and Mr. Cress advisor. The one fad incident during this term was the induction of Mr. Cress into the United States Army in March. However, we were very lucky to have such an efficient teacher as Miss Benson to take over. The high lights of this year were the Junior-Senior banquet which we sponsored, and the Junior class play Healthy, Wealthy and Wise which to some was one of the best plays ever presented in our school. Also that year we all enjoyed a skating party at Celina. We then found ourselves Grand Old Seniors, Lords and Ladies of all the school. we thought. I wonder if that's why the teachers said we had senioritus ? Anyway. we re-elected Dick Elliriger president and Miss Benson advifor. We sponsored the Senior Class Play 'tDon't Be Bashful which was a success despite the numerous effects of ration- ing at that time. The Senior Carnival. serving at the tournament, bake sales, and various cther antivities were executed with a great degree of success. Car Junior skating party was so enjoyed by all that we decided on a return en- gagement at Edgewater. Now, looking forward to the Junior-Senior Reception, Baccalaureate and Com- mencement, we feel greatly honored that we are allowed to graduate on the fiftieth birth- day of Chio City-Liberty High School with the largest class in its history. We find in balancing the books that we have slowly but surely climbed the steps cf opportunity. Of course a few of our group have fallen, others tripped on a couple of the steps, but we 34 have kept right on striving for our goal. I am sure we will keep on climbing until we eventually reach success. We hope our school mates find we have left just a little more on the debit side of the ledger than we h-ave taken away.

CLASS PROPHECY OF '43 New York, New York May 20, 1949 Mr. W. C. Drager, Supt. Cleveland Schools Cleveland, Ohio, Dear Mr. Drager: Due to the many changes that have taken place since I graduated from high school. I feel it has been twenty years instead of only six. For the past three years I have gone in for professional prize fighting and in addi- tion to the nice bag of money I take in now and then, I have met some very interesting personalties, I thoroughly enjoy my career which to many would be a mere waste of time. During my last bout I received a badly sprained ankle when my opponent. Pedro Monzo, struggled to pull me to the floor at Madison Square Gardens after I had thrown him for the final count of ten. I have not regretted these few weeks of recuperation, however, as I have toured the world in my new PQ-4 Rocket-ship. During this tour I have visited most all of my classmates of the class of '43. Now please do not grade this as you once did my test papers, but I thought per- haps you too would be interested in knowing the whereabouts of that good old class of '43, Before leaving New York, I met David Blush, who is now manager of the Song Bird Night Club there. He informed me that only last week he had featured Alice Rickard, the new song star. He also told me that Recie Ellinger had visited the club several days ago. She had just returned from Australia where she has been in home nursing school, She mentioned that Lois King and Meda High have not as yet returned to take nursing positions in the States. Gene Ellinger, also of New York, though making good money as a stock-broker on Wall Street, will probably be the next President of these United States, My next stop was in Tampa, Florida, where Mrs, Romayne Harrison Shindeldecker was spending a few weeks with her husband. Walter is president of the All Star Con- struction Company. Lucille Roberts was a guest of Romayne, She is taking dying lessons there in Tampa and expects to solo in a few weeks. Lucille had just received a letter from Vivian Mihm who was on an ocean honeymoon with her husband. Admiral Robert Davis, With the exception of one spell of seasickness, they were having a grand time. In Cleveland I called on Arlene Krugh, who is the new manager of the Krugh-Kline
