All CLASS HI 'l'0RY After twelve years of hard work, success, and detemiination, we stop to take inventory and see who is left. Let's see--in the fall of 1942 we started our long journey with 35 class members. When we entered Junior High, we thought that we were progressing fast, but that was small in comparison with our first year of high school. There were 31 of us roaming the halls of O, C. L. on a bright September morning in 1949 to start out long drive toward graduation. At first we acted like 'greenies' but it didn't take long for us to learn the ways and methods of high school life. To direct our paths during the first year we chose Bob Good as president and Mr. Fleck as our sponsor and co-helpersg Jack Smalley, Janet Walls, and Ned Scheidt, To begin our second year we still, had 31. This year we chose Iris Baker and Mr. Fleck as our directors and co-helpersp Marlene Wallace, Rosalind Bigham, and Betty Brubaker. Our class colors, flower, and motto were chosen this year. Wine and white as our colors and the wine rose as our flower were chosen to be our emblems. Our motto is 'To Rise after Falling is Glory. As happy go lucky Juniors we chose Don Keber as our president and Miss Spoon as advisor. They were assisted by Bob Brand, Marlene Wallace, and Janet Walls. The big highlights of this year were the Junior and Senior Prom which we gave in honor of those who tread the road ahead of us and our Junior class play You'll Die Laughing. As the 1952 school term rolled around we found ourselves as Grand Old Seniors. After taking inventory and balancing the books, we found that there were 29 of us still left for grad- uation. We re-elected Don Keber as president and to help him carry the load we chose Ned Scheidt, Marlene Wallace, Thelma Gephart, and Mr. Leiendecker as sponsor. Bob Good and lack Smalley published a book on our activities. To help build up our treasury we held bake sales, concessions, raffles, and sold magazines. After much hard work we are about to attain our goal--graduation. We hope to continue on until we have achieved success in each of our chosen fields.

Twenty-nine graduates will march down the aisle, To receive their diploma, from our dear O. C.L. Iris Baker, the first of our twenty-nine. In looks and books, Wow! She does fine. Rosalind Bigham is a cute little girl, By her many boy friends she is kept in a whirl. Lois Beach, a make-up expert, In Government class she is always alert. A pretty blqnd is our Joanne, Some say sh.e's tops in doing the can-can. Phyllis Witten, the finest in the land, Is always ready to lend a helping hand. Patty Hunter is our 'Slirn Jim She always looks so nice and trim. Pauline Hofmann, a real brunette, She rates a 1 in etiquette. Ellen Schaadt his cheerful grin, She likes a guy y the name of Iirn. lanet Walls, a gay coquette, Leads our cheers with lots of pep. The Totem Pole Editor, a secretary she'll be, Who else but Thelma Gephart, Could this one be? Janice Ricketts keeps boys on the alert, It rnust be her friendly smile and her ability to flirt. Christine Pollak, a career girl to be, Can prepare tasty dishes as easy as 1-2-3. Bob Brand, a Hiedelberg fan he'l1 be, When he enters college next fall to study for his degree The F. F .A. president is Dick Galloway, He'l1 be a June groom, I've heard some say. POEM The editor of this book, None other than Bob G. Deserves a great big hand, As I'm sure you'l1 all agree. A basketball hero, a curley haired fguy. None other than Clarence, who is ar from being shy. Don HEh's ambition is to farm, Some y he'll marry some young charm. Charles Doan is an all-round athlete, Connis is his gal, so girls no use to compete. Charles Clouse is an all right guy, After taking Home Ec. , I bet e bakes good pie. Ned Scheidt is the guy, That rates a 1 in everyone's eye. Bill Army, from Shawnee he came, Now he is Dorothy Jean's tn gain. A great bi grin, a great big uy, This descrgbes our president, gon, Who is always willing to try. A very nice kid, his name is Jim, He's one who has a lot of vim. Listen, everyone have you heard about the boy, Who has joined the Navy and is learning to say 'AHOY He's the guy of whom many gals are fond. Or did you know, his name is John. The next on the list is om artist, Jack. He's a swell kid, in fact, not much does he lack. Melvin Fickert, is always willing to work, If he has a job to do, he doesn't try to shirk. Maybe you have wondered who counts your face, When at noon to the cafeteria you race, This is none other than Lloyd T. He knows the girls from A to Z. Wavel Taylor has wavy hair, With anything he has, he is willing to share. Last but not least, I hope, You finish the rest, 1 will sign off, THE DOPE. PROPHECY Arriving at my destination in Hollywood, I drove my new convertible to the luxurious home of an old friend Marlene Wallace, who is now starring in a new Paramotmt picture, Passion at Midnight. Since I have a two weeks vacation Marlene decided to show me the si hts of Hollywood. Our first night was spent at Ciro's where we ate a delicious meal prepared by Chef Charles Clouse. The floor show featured Joanne Ever as one of the world 's greatest tap dancers. It was announced that we would be honored by a bass solo by none other than Ned Schiedt. Ned just finished a world wide concert tour. The orchestra started playing Blue Hawaii, which brought back memories of our Junior prom. Who should we see leading the orchestra but Don Keber. Setting at the next table were Janet and Dick Galloway who were vacationing in California. They left their twins home with the great artist Bob Good who was painting their portrait. Marlene and I advertised for escorts in the Times whose editor was Thelma Gephart. Our charm- ing escorts were Clarence Mottinger and Jack Smalley who took us to the hot rod races. We learned that Clarence is now pitcher for the Yankees, and that Jack is working, on his drawing for the rebuilding of the Brooklyn Bridge. A big roar from the crowd brings our attention ack to the races. Who should come in first but Bill Army. Passing the finish line his car turned over and burst into flame. His manager Don High called the ambulance. The doctor and nurse Ellen Schaadt rushed him to the hospital. The next day we went shopping at Pauline's Style Shop. Her merchandise manager is Lois Beach who visits Paris three times a year to bring back the most exclusive styles. Afterwards we stopped in a drugstore to find Wavel Taylor as manager of the Los Angeles branch of Pollak's Drug Store. After saying goodbye to Marlene I started on my way back to New York. Traveling through Texas I stopped to inquire of the whereabouts of the Stetler Motel, whose manager was Janice Ricketts, when I saw Christine. She had just attended a school operetta in which her youngest daughter had a leading role. She told me that Patty Hunter is now the wife of a Colorado ranch owner. My next stop was Ohio City. I learned that Melvin Fickert is going to quit farming and become the Secretary of Agriculture. Oh yes, Charles Doan is now the president of the United States. Lloyd Tolan is pretty busy these days, he just discovered an oil well on his farm. Driving down main street of Ohio City for the last time I happened to glance at High's pool room. Written on t e front in big letters was John Cramer, Assistant Manager. He obtained this position after serving five years as captain in the navy. Jim Clouse has been promoted to a higher rank since our old school days. Instead of Jim running errands for Mr. Cress, Mr. Cress is now running errands for Jim. I left Ohio City on a beautiful Sunday morning. Turning on the radio Iheard the well-known evangelist Reverend Bob Speakman, whose wife is none other than Rosalind Bigham. Arriving in New York I reported back to work. As news-reporter for 'The Star my first assign- ment was to cover the opening of a new television network in Florida. Deciding to fly down I boarded a Constellation to find Phyllis Witten a stewardess. I got my big story from Bob Brand who is the technical engineer of the new studio. I am sure that the world has benefited from such an outstanding class as that of 1953. A Iris Baker BACCALA REATE May 24, 1953 Processional. . . Mr. Evans and Mr. Green Invocation . . . . . Rev.
