We wish to reveal to you the history of our class. On September 1944, Miss Fannie welcomed eighteen youngsters to kindergarten. They were: Gerald Elder, Larry Laske, Dick Steging, Robert Vaughan, Billy Wilson, Bobby Green, Donald Freeman, Sandra Wescott, Jo Ann Cruse, Shirley Saulters, Helen Ann Fawks, Ester Grace Phelps, Sylvia Sue Knowles, Diana Sue Summers, Barbra Ann Winans, Donna Beth Bills, Eleanor Powell, and Ruth Ann Lusby. In the intervening years many have arrived or left until those graduating with the original class are, Peggy Clayburg, Shirley Clayburg, Rita Day, Jerry Eagan, Kay Fine, Le Ann Gaubatz, Helen Gooch, Pat Hauser, Donna Kothe, Gerald Linneman, Irvin Maddox, Delbert McCollum, Donald Peart, Jean Peglow, Carl Rasmussen, Marjorie Renne, Bobby Scheiderer, Anita Speiser, Eula Swetnam, Marjorie Thompson, Anita Washam, Lawrence Winn, Mildred Radar, and James Hofmann. In Kindergarten we played games and had picture books to prepare us for reading. After that we went to the first grade and we thought we had really accomplished something. Here we gained Marjorie Thompson, Delbert McCollum, Donald Freese, Lloyd Means, Buddy Bise, and Lawrence Winn and Jackie Saulters. We lost Wanda Grahm and Helen Ann Fawks that year. In the Second grade we entered into the mysteries of reading and writing. Here we gained Helen Gooch, Virginia Rasmussen, and Anita Speiser. We were sorry to lose Gerald Elder, Billy Wilson, Sandra Wiscott, and Ruth Ann Lusby. Our teacher that year was Miss Rosalie. Then on to the Third grade with Mrs. Bahr as teacher. We studied about a new subject called arithmetic. Here we gained Carl Rasmussen and Bobby Scheiderer and Charles Baldridge. We lost Ester Grace Phelps. In the Fourth grade with Mrs. Smith, teacher we took up the Palmer Method of Writing. Boy! did we think we were something. We lost one pupil, Bubby Bise. In the fifth grade we gained Gerald Linneman and regretted the loss of Donald Freese. Mrs. Jackson was our teacher that year. In the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth grades we entered our first departmental work under the supervision of Mrs. Farthing, Mrs. Kressig and Mrs. Vance. Due to the consolidation of the district schools we gained several new classmates. They are Peggy Clayburg, Shirley Clayburg, Rita Day, Jerry Eagan, Le Ann Gaubatz, Donna Kothe, Donald Peart, Jean Pegelow, Donovan Penrod, Eleanor Powell, Eula Swetnam, Anita Washam. During the three years we lost Gerald Linneman, Then came the big day, the day of graduation from grade school to high. We entered high school in the fall of 1953 with the terror of initiation hanging over our green Freshman heads. We all looked foreward to that day we would be Superior Seniors ana initiate the future Freshmen. Gerald Linneman, Pat Hauser and Marjorie Renne joined us as Freshmen. We lost Donovan Penrod and Kenneth Hammons that year. Next came the Sophomore year, with all the excitement of high school activities. We lost Jackie Saulters and Charles Baldridge that year and gained Mildred Radar and James Hofmann. Then the Junior year with the Junior-Senior Prom keeping us all busy. Virginia Rasmussen left us that year. 14 Now we have arrived at that long dreamed of day when we as Seniors would uphold the standards of the Purple and Gold. But again we wish we were Freshmen and could relive the excitments and thrills we have had in High School. Eleanor Powell has left us this year and we are sorry she couldn’t graduate here with us today. We hope wherever we go, Salisbury High School will leave a place for us in it’s Alumni and that the future students here will uphold the high standards we have tried to for the Purple and the Gold. Seniors 9n SJheir JJontujer O Oays By Carl Rasmussen 15 Dear Mr. Bachtel: Class fPronl opnecij It is now just thirteen years since we walked down the aisle on that fate- ful spring evening, and since this is the anniversary of that night, I thought you would like to know just what we are doing and where we are. Since my job with NBC places me in an excellent position to observe the doings of others it occurred to me that you might find a report on the doings of the class of 1957 interesting. With that in mind here goes. When I was informed by the Special News Events Dept, of NBC that I was tc have a part in the spectacular Around the World With Fats Domino, and that w« would be covering the entire United States during the course of the tour, I decided to look up all my old friends and classmates and see how fate had deal with them. This being my last night in New York before beginning the tour I thought that I would see a little of the town that had become so familiar to ir« in the past. Glancing through the papers to see what was billed high on the entertainment list, I found that Donna Bills and her All Male Revue was playing at the 3 2 Club. The Chicago critics called it hottest thing to hit the town since the fire; so taking their advice I was soon standing on the street cornei trying to hail a cab. Anyone who steps out into the street during the 5:00 rush and tries to sto a cab is either just plain crazy or just doesn’t want to live any longer. But after about 10 minutes I cornered one in a traffic jam and hopped in. To my surprise the cabbie was an old classmate of mine from 57 Delbert McCollum. After spending a few minutes with Delbert I arrived at the 3 2 Club and was ushered in by a jolly looking doorman who could be none other than James Hofmanr. The show was all the critics said it was and after leaving the 3 2 I went back to my apartment for a much needed good nights sleep. Before turning in I pick- ed up the paper and noticed that Donna Kothe and Rita Day were going to show their new spring fashion creations in the ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria under the supervision of the internationally known Fashion critic Miss LeAnn Gaubatz. Fate had certainly dealt kindly with these classmates of 57! I arrived a little late for Fats was already there and was interviewing Anita Speiser who is known all over the world as the archaeologist who had discovered the lost city of Be-Bop-A-Lula in Central Mongolia. We finished in Kansas City late that evening and had dinner in the swanky Steeple-Chase Room owned and operated by two old friends of mine; Kay Fine and Helen Gooch. We talked for a while and I asked Kay if Gerald minded her keeping her maiden name while she operated the night club. She told me that he didn’t mind at all and that he was doing quite well as the owner of Purina Feeds Inc. I also learned from Kay and Helen that Jerry Eagan was the owner of a huge cattle ranch in Colorado and that a great deal of Gerald’s feed was consumed by Jerry’s cattle. After going back to the hotel for the night I read in the paper that Elwood Winn and Carl Rasmussen were being decorated by the mayor of Kansas City for their heroic efforts in stopping the huge fire in the stockyards and that the fire department was giving them lifetime bonuses and promoting them both to junior fire chief. Turning to the society page I found that Sue Knowles was engaged to be married to the Earl of Choptham and that Irven Maddox was marrying the daughter of the owner of the Kansas City Power and Light Co. Pretty enlightening match I thought. The next morning we boarded the plane for Los Angeles and arrived 16 there about noon. Jean Pegelow and Mildred Rader greeted our tired eyes as we entered the lobby of our hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Jean said that she was operating the elevator and commented that she was coming up in life, and that Mildred was quite happy with her position as bellhop. They informed me that they had heard from Marjorie Dooley and Eleanor Miller and said that they were both happily married and raising fine broods of little Dooleys and little Millers. The next morning I dropped in at the studio to see my good friend Steve Allen. Steve told me that he had hired himself two new private secretaries, who turned out to be, astonishingly enough, Peggy and Shirley Claybury. They told me that Pat Hausser had landed a job in California clipping Elvis Presley’s sideburns and that she was doing well and liked Elvis very much. I glanced at my watch and observed that it was about time for me to be at the air- field to catch my plane to Kansas City for the first part of the spectacular. After being comfortably seated aboard the plane, the names of the flight crew were announced over the intercom and to my amazement they were: Bob Scheiderer- Pilot, Donald Peart-Co-Pilot, and the stewardesses were Lena Lewis and Marilyn Smith. During most of the flight I read or dozed and was still dozing when a gentle bump and a muffled screech of tires announced Kansas City. Looking around I noticed the beautiful stainless steel architecture of the airport and I inquired who the builder was. Bob told me that Donald Freeman was the architect and that he had practically rebuilt the city in the past few years. Walking across the flight deck I glanced down the runway and saw a jet trainer plane coming in at tremendous speed and weaving like a drunken camel. I was fascinated by the gymnastics of the machine performed in getting down and was a little more than curious to know who the pilot was. Walking over to the plane I saw a huge figure disengage itself from a tangle of wires and oxygen hose and leap to the ground with an earth-shaking thud. He turned to face me and it was then that I recognized my old friend from the class of 57, Larry Laske. Larry and I went inside the terminal to have a cup of coffee and he told me that he was giving flying lessons and that he hadn’t had a single student since last week when both wheels fell off the plane. After leaving Larry, I went to Kansas City’s famous Museum of Natural History for the first portion of the spectacular. The next morning I went over to Paramount Studios and found Anita Washam giving dancing and dramatic instructions to the stars there. She said that she liked her work very much but wished that Marjorie Renne, one of the new starlets at Paramount would not be so temperamental. She told me that Eula Swetnam was the wife of a famous engineer who had perfected revolving doors for the Suez Canal and Diana Summers was the famous artist who had painted them green. Leaving the studios, I saw Fats at the hotel and he told me that we would be leaving in a few minutes. Well, here I am comfortably seated again in the big Strato-cruiser which has carried me over these many and delightful miles. I can hear the engines warming up and I guess we’re about ready to leave. Well that’s where they are ana what they’re doing and from where I sit they’ve done all right for themselves. Don’t you agree? Nostalgically Yours, 17 Dick Steging dCast W ill and cJestament of the Class of 1957 This being our last will and testament, we the Senior Class of 1957 do hereby bequeath the following traits and talents to the following persons.
