Class Prophecy Salisbury, Missouri May 18, 1966 SCIENCE IN THE NEWS Milton Jordon Ph.D. of Chemistry has been appointed head of the chemical research depart- ment at DuPont Chemical Corporation. He has shown such an aptness for his work, he has also been made the head of a special medical research assignment. Dr. Mel Kyes, noted young surgeon, has performed a very delicate operation which will save many lives. As he is the only surgeon able to perform this operation, he is training others to carry on elsewhere. Marilyn Wolter is his specially trained nurse and assists him in all op- erations. Evidently she finally got out of Marge's chemistry class. Lou Anna Elmore has recently become a member of the famous exclusive organization of out- standing laboratory technologists. She is employed as head of the laboratory of Mayo Clinic. Dr. Jean Winkelmeyer has established a research hospital and clinic for special study and treatment of muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and similar diseases. She has studied and trained both here and abroad. Charles Hofmann has completed the building of an improvement project for the government in Washington, D. C. BIG CRASH—NO CASUALTIES Miss Shirley Lingo, nurse at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis, has been accredited with saving the lives of 15 persons injured seriously in the crash of a jet airliner. Miss Lingo, on her day off, witnessed the crash and immediately took charge. Miss Janet Carter, hostess of the airliner, who was only slightly injured, assisted her. Miss Carter said she will now retire to her well- known horse farm. The pilot and co-pilot, Sam Green and Wayne Billue, were among those seriously injured. However, they are improving and will soon be moved to their home base for rest. Both were with the U. S. Air Force previous to accepting employment with the Jet Airline Company. LOCAL GIRLS MAKE NEWS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD We recently learned that Miss Laura Ann Ratliff has been appointed to the office of executive secretary of the consolidated school district of Northern, Missouri. Miss Kay Cadmus is the new executive secretary to the President of the Chase National Bank in New York. PROMOTION FOR LOCAL YOUNG MAN Mr. Donald Garner became the manager of the new Kroger Store in Moberly. He was trans- ferred from his position at the Kroger Store in Salisbury. He and his family are moving this week. 14 MISS TODD ACCEPTS POSITION ON UNIVERSITY STAFF Miss Nola Todd has accepted employment as Professor of English at Missouri University. She has previous experience at her Alma Mater, Salisbury High School and Stephens College. NEWS OF SERVICEMAN Seaman 2nd Class W. L. Peart has been advanced to a rating of Seaman 1st Class effective May 1. He is making a career of the Navy. His family has moved to be with him at the base. WEDDING BELLS FOR FORMER RESIDENT Miss Rowena Sanders was married April 23. She formerly was a telephone operator in Kansas City. TWO YOUNG WOMEN FROM SALISBURY AREA RECEIVE NATIONWIDE HONORS Miss Joyce Phillips has been named Spinster of the Year for 1966. She resides on one of her farms near Prairie Hill. (She always said she had little use for a man.) Mrs. Gene Boss, the former Janice Bartholomew, has Just returned from competition in the Mrs. America Contest. She made a very good showing for Salisbury, receiving 3rd place. OWNERSHIP OF LOCAL ESTABLISHMENT HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED Mr. Jerry Hayward has just bought out his-partner, Ronald Fitzpatrick, and is now the sole owner of the Chariton House. They remain partners in the rest of their chain of nightclubs, however. Jerry says that he spent so much time and money there he decided to capitalize— Ronald is still looking for an easy job with short hours and high pay. YOUNG MEN FROM THIS AREA WIDELY RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR EFFORTS IN AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTS AND IMPROVEMENTS. James Wolfe, prominent Iowa farmer and one-time student in the Salisbury schools, has won the farm improvement award for the Central region. He owns several large farms and has improved them all extensively. Robert Moore and Ivan Gesslinghave consolidated their farming interests recently. Robert has specialized in livestock and Ivan has specialized in field crops. They have the largest com- bined production within several counties. Louis Helmich has established the first large scale peacock farm in North America. This ingenuity should more than repay his investment. 15 Class History Well hyar we is chillun, 'bout to graddiate to de World and it behooves us to commemorate dis noteworthy occasion by recordin' de written history of dis mos' illustrious class. Was back 'fore most of us kin remember-or most of us wants to-in de fall of 1943 Miss Fannie Winfree welcomed 22 smilin' litti' faces to kindergarten-dat is, some of 'em was smilin'- some of 'em was bawlin'-or gittin' ready. These little chillun was Shirley Lingo, Delma Ponder, Clinton Eubank, Evelyn Stevenson, Charles Baldridge, Donald Lee Garner, Dale Dooley, Charlene Marrin, Sharon Kay Ward, Jan Helmich, Jean Winkelmeyer, and Lou Anna Elmore. Marilyn Wolters, John Dale Lusby, Sammy Green, Louie Helmich, Mel Kyes, Barbara Hutchin- son, Mary Frances Dugger, Velma Ruth Fox, and Everette Dugger. Come dat fust year, Clinton, Evelyn, Sharon Kay, Charlene, and John Dale-dey done lef us. After threshin' 'round in kindergarten we got promoted to de fust grade and some new chullun jined our ranks. Dey was Howard Eugene Ellis, Paul Burton Hunker, and Marvin Howard. Miss Fannie was still de shepherdess of de flock. After de statuatory limits had expired on our tenure in de fust grade we all became second graders with Miss Rosalie Jennings patrolling de squadron. New recruits was Norma Jean Preston, Billy Preston, and Winona Goins. Mary Dugger, Howard Eugene Ellis, Velma Ruth Fos, Jan Helmich and Paul Burton Hunker left de ranks. Mrs. Bahr picked us all up in de third grade. We was smote wit' grief when Sammy Green moved to de Washington District and Barbara Hutchinson moved to Kansas City (brudder was he a doll;' was she a doll;) (and we was gettin' old enuf to know de difference.) Howsome ever, we was glad to welcome Ivan Gesling, Wayne Billue, Janice Green, and Bobby Bloss. Norma Jean Preston, Wayne Billue, and Ivan Gesling transferred to another school when we was elevated to de fourth estate and Cleva Lee Greening and John Spellman dropped in to take de vacant places. Mrs. Smith inculcated knowledge in the ever-widening horizons of de minds in this period. Mrs. Jackson inherited de brilliant intellects of dis mos' illustrious and unforgettable class in de fifth grade. Gordon and James West joined us in de scramble for lamin'. We had lost John Spellman, Janice Green, Bobby Bloss, Cleva Lee Greening, and Charles Baldridge. De sixth grade found us floundering with fractions and fractures and Mrs. Farthing floun- dering with us. Nola Todd, Kay Cadmus, Everette Dugger and Jimmie Millstead joined us in dese noble endeavors. Unfortunately Jimmie stayed only long enuf to cause a lot o' heartache for a certin' blond in de class. Our fame spread, eight new pursuers of knowledge enrolled in dis noble and high purpose class, -dey was Billy Chrane, Jerry Hayward, Milton Jordon, Robert Moore, W. L. Peart, Billy Mays, Bonnie Wisdom, and John Lusby who returned. Billy Chrane didn't stay long though. Mrs. Kressig was de' inspiration who brought confusion from chaos during our so-journ in the seventh grade. In our final flare of glory-de year we got in more trubble dan we ever did dare before or since-we was rulers of de roost-noble eighth graders and lords of all we surveyed. Three loyal members couldn't stan' it and moved as far away as dey could-John Lusby to Texas, Bonnie Wisdom to Clifton Hill, Everette Dugger to Keytesville. And Janet Carter came to Join the fun 16 After starting in de fall of 1943 with 22 members we finally made it thru eighth grade with an enrollment of 27. As we went on to High School and survived Freshman initiation we took a deep breat' and looked aroun1 to fin', John Goins, Winona Goins, Marvin Howard, James and Gordon West and Billy Mays were no longer wit' us. But dere was Arthur Price, Helen Ablen, Rowena Sanders, Betty Linneman, Ona Mae Meyer, Ivan Gessllng, and Janice Bartholomew jlned up agin. As we went hurdlin' into de sophomore year, Arthur Price, and Helen Ablen left de ranks. De basketball team made history up and down and on boaf sides of de ribber dis year. In de Junior year we wuz so money-minded makin money for de Junior-Senior banquet and prom, we done hardly had time to welcome some mighty fine new members-Laura Ann Ratliff, Glenn Selby, Charles Hoffman and Marilyn Phillips. We did see dat Joe Baugh, Ona Mae Meyer and Billy Preston warn't no longer wit’ us. At las' by a series of unprecedented miracles, and unceasin' scholastic labors(?), we is arrived at the senior year from whence all is viewed wit scorn approachin' contempt-in udder words we is on the verge of commutin' graduation. James Wolfe enlisted in this project, Glenn Selby and Betty Linneman resigned and Sammy Green left for Uncle Sam's big project, but Sammy will earn his diploma with de udder members of dis most illustrious, mos' worthy(?), extraordinary(?), talented(?), high-powered, super-sonic set of scholastic morons.
