Washington High School - Sunburst Yearbook (Washington Court House, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1952 volume:

The 1952 Sunburst AS TIME GOES BY The 1952 SUNBURST is for you—the stu- dents. The high school can only be a mirror, a reflection of the students as individuals and as a group. You give Washington High School life, for in it you achieve scholar- ship, leadership, and friendship. This is your book—written for you and about you. We, the staff of the 1952 SUNBURST, hope that as time goes by the SUNBURST will bring back to you moments of your high school days which you will cherish and trea- sure forever. 2 Up you sleepy head, Paddy rise and shine It's time to start a day at Washington Hi. Get to school—have a session of talk Some come by bus, and some walk. The 8:40 bell sounds— not another second to be had. After morning Chapel, no one is going to be bad. 4 N In Home Ec nursery school ore seen many girls and boys, Sliding, singing, coloring, and playing with toys, These tiny tots teach us much and bring us many jobs. From one class to another with each other we chat, It is in typing class we hear the typewriter's tat-tat. Speed and perfect paragraphs are the goal, Typing is fun and will be useful later in life we're told. 5 Biology to us is such a mystery This is the class where we learn an animal and plants history. The cutting of fish, frogs and little worms that used to crawl. Is this its eye or tail, we call. 6 Hurrying, scurrying, the tossing of books—its 1 1 :50, the noon bell sounds. To the cafeteria the students are bound Rushing, shoving, squeezing in place For too long is the line. No other place is the food so fine. Grind it, grease it, fill it with gas. In the auto shop it is no task. 1 1 :35, noon time is nigh, Hurry boys you've got to work fast. 7 L r. Boys and girls with vim and vigor Trot home for dinner. Others to Gillens go, Some to have a snack, Others just to talk with a favorite beau. Tick - Tock, Tick - Tock 12:50 Says the clock. To dramatics class the students flock. Back to the grease paint, and books, And the teacher's dirty looks. Make-up, on stage, cur- tain; These are the sounds of the speech class to be certain. 8 Blouses of white and shorts of blue, Volleyball, newcome and tumbling too, The girls in Phys Ed tumble and play, So they will be healthy girls someday. Old man winter touched his cold, Snowy hand to all that Decem- ber night, But no one was cold for they were lost in the warmth and merriment and delight. The Christmas dance was truly a must, It is one that will never be lost in old age's rust and dust. 9 A queen who reigneth supreme, The Woshington Blue Lions, the victorious team. A stadium of faithful fans, The magnificent sounding Washington High School band. This was our homecoming, one that was glori- ous and grand. Yes, time will pass, old age will come, But not one will forget the homecoming of 1951. 10 The strains of Auld Lang Syne, the Hour Glass are now memories that will forever last. That night as we, seniors marched down the line, It was as though in those few seconds we were turning back time. All the songs that we've played, and the Rhapsody in Blue, All the things that we've done. The trip to New York and all the fun we've known. Our years in the band had come to be such a short time. But should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? The Homecoming As- sembly was pretty and gay, When our beautiful queen was presented with flowers. Future Farmers—hear their cry? Popcorn, coffee, hot dogs to buy! Fresh and hot, 'cause that's their aim: To give you pep and keep you worm at every game. 12 The class parties were barrels of fun, And the Senior Party wasn't the only one. But boys please note as time goes by, Don't let this happen to you. Loyal fans come from far and near, To urge our boys on and loudly cheer. They've come with a purpose, like you and me, and to Watch our team win the victory. 13 DEDICATION In grateful remembrance of the su- preme price they so gallantly paid for the continued existence of our demo- cratic ideals and with the assurance that the price shall not have been paid in vain, the SUNBURST staff dedicates the 1952 yearbook to Raymond Ben- nett and Robert Smith. 14 At 3 :40 our da is quite complete. Study and work we find have been no feat. As we walk with our favorite gal or guy, We will remember this day as time goes by — Spit out the gum, why were you late, and pay attention. Or if you don't you'll soon have de- tention. 15 People are what make the time go by A friendly hello and a jolly Hi ! People mean remembering of things that have passed Of thoughts and deeds that will last and last Someday when our youth has passed by We'll remember that friendly hello and jolly Hi! 16 17 Congratulations and good wishes to the graduates of the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-two Washington High School. You have made an excellent record, one which you can look to with pride. In years to come, may you be able to look back on your high school days with appreciation and satisfaction. The memories you have of your high school days should never be dimmed in years ahead by the success you attain in your chosen field of work or profession. Again may I say, Good Luck to each and may you achieve the success you so richly deserve. Sincerely, STEPHEN C. BROWN To The Seniors: For the past twelve years, you have been engaged in the process of becoming educated. During this time you have been subjected to three great institutions: the home, the church, and the school. The inroads which these institutions have made upon your lives depends upon the extent to which their teachings have influenced your behavior and become a part of your philosophy of living. The tools you have acquired as measured by your skills and attitudes, will be reflected in your future accom- plishments. Knowledge is power only in so far as it is put to work. Man is paid not for what he knows but rather for the contributions he makes. Society is bene- fited by the extent to which you improve the lot of your fellow men. The greatest element in success is the determination to succeed. Regardless of your choice of occupation, do the best job of which you are capable and your reward will be assured. You will never walk alone as long as you have an abiding faith in the teachings of your church, a deep love and respect for your home and the American way of life and ability to provide the fruits of happines. May you receive divine guidance and protection along life's way. E. WAYNE TITUS Principal 18 TO THE CLASS OF '52 The histories of the nations are filled with outstand- ing accomplishments of men who were repeatedly told certain things were impossible. All achievements start with ideas. They have to first be thought out, then worked out. In a broad sense there are few things that are absolutely impossible. .They are merely waiting for someone who unequivo- cally believes they can be, and should be done. Success and rich rewards belong to those who hold tenaciously to their dreams and their desire to achieve. We have an enduring confidence and faith in your future which lies beyond the cloudy atmosphere of our times . . . BOARD OF EDUCATON John Sagar Walter F. Rettig Frank M. Brown Alfred E.

Give a word of cheer to those who are blue, A warm handclasp will help some, too; A wave of the hand, a cheery Good Day To those you may meet, or pass by the way— As you travel along. Start in the day with a word of prayer, As the birds trill their notes to the morning air. Let your prayer be to God, like their songs to Heaven, Thankful for life and the blessings given; Thinking those thoughts that are right and good, Doing those deeds that you feel you should— As you travel along. —Anon. 23 Robert Eugene Barbara Lee Carolyn Joy Beatty Barger Callender Shirley Sue Riegel Rodney Keith Acton Cleotta Verneda Gwendolyn Adams Aills Huey Leon Aills Donna Ann Andrews Lloyd Eugene Arnold Robert Bailey Donald Lee Bandy Betty Lou Bapst Thelma Juanita Beedy Patricia Ann Boso David King Boswel I 24 Jean Ann Boylan Terry Glenn Bright Ruthann Brookover Stephen Richard Brown Beverly Jo Carman Chloe Ellen Carson Lloyd Harold Cartwright Ruthanna Cheatwood Shirley Anne Church Eleanor Beverly June Margaret Clay Clickner Eula Mae Cox Norman Crosswhite Robert Edward Harriett Cullen Cunningham Marilyn Teresa Cunningham 25 Bernice Ann Davis David McLean Fabb John Franklin Dawson Dorothy Fackler Janice Ann East Max Raney Foster Barbara Lou Edgington Bob Eugene Gidding Donald Gorman Charles Everett Harris Sandra Jane Griffith Homer Ernest Hart George Allen Gri I lot Charles Grant Hays Ann Elizabeth Hamilton Don William Howard 26 Barbara Ann Hughes Nancy Jane Kimmey Irwin Arnold Inderrieden Wilbur Russell Knisley Helen Louise Justice Richard Howard Lloyd Merrill Lee Kaufman Mary Dorothy McDonald Flora Ludene Massie Norman Eugene Melvin Charles James Matthews Carolyn Sue Merritt Marlene Sue Matthews Jon Dale Merritt John William Melvin Harley Aldon Mongold 27 Dale Martin Orihood Glenna Bessie Parks Janet Gayle Parrett Dorothy Ann Pennington Harold Leroy Penwell Harvey Andrew Pollock Marjorie Maxine Betty Joe Reed Ratliff Joan McCoy Robinson Ruth Alice Sexton Betty Lou Rostofer James Ronald Smith Faye Ann Sagar Thomas Lee Smith Emily Lane Schlue Mary Lou Sollars 28 Jacque Lois Stone David Neal Thomas Bonnie Elizabeth Warner Hugh Emerson Wilson Darryl Eugene Stewart Sammy Eugene Troute Paul Emerson Swayne James Newton Tuvell Gloria Dean Sword Marian Evelyn Walston Rebecca Jane Waters John Bruce Wickensimer Peggy Lou Williams James Robert Joe Sam Williams Wilson Margaret Louise Wilson 29 Norman Dale Wilson Phyllis June Wright Frances Ellen Roy Eugene Donald Phillip Wissinger Woodrow Woods Jo Ann Shope 30 Senior Activities Beatty, Robert Eugene . . .

The Lions started off with a lopsided 41-0 victory over Linden McKinley. The next week they beat Jackson. Cin- cinnati Woodward scored in the closing seconds to tie the Lions 13-13. Then the Lions won a hard fought game from Greenfield by one touchdown. In the next successive weeks Hillsboro was swamped and Wilmington was beaten in a good game. The Norwood gridders from Cincinnati were beaten by the Blue Lions 32-7 and Bexley was defeated in the Snow- bowl 27-0. The last game of the season, the Circleville game, was played for the league championship. The Lions scored first on a safety and a touchdown and then held the Tigers to one touchdown, and brought home the SCO crown. P. ). BURKE MONUMENT COMPANY MONUMENTS. MARKERS. AND MAUSOLEUMS WASHINGTON C. H., OHIO 50 These are the eight seniors who played their last season for the Blue and White. They will be sorely missed when next season rolls around, but their spirit and teamwork will be long remembered. Dale Orihood, captain and center, was the main pillar in the Lion forward wall. His abil- ity was rewarded when he was selected to play on the all-southern Ohio team against a team of northern all-stars. Terry Bright, tackle, was the man who stopped many an opposition play before it reached the line of scrimmage. Bob Gidding was the pepper-upper needed for those special assignments of blocking and hole plugging. Allen Grillot, the package of dynamite, was the sparkplug of many spectacular plays both on defense and offense. Merrill Kaufman, guard, stopped opponents cold with his they shall not pass philo- sophy. Daryl Stewart could always be counted on for a tooth rattling block or tackle. Jim Williams was a real heads-up ball player in the backfield on offense or defense. Joe Wilson was handicapped by an early season injury, but supplied plenty of ginger for the team from the sidelines. 51 These are a few action-packed pictures of the plays which thrilled the fans at every game of the season. It was this type of expert teamwork by the squad that gained them the South Central Ohio League Championship. The pictures clearly show that the main thing that gained the team the championship, was teamwork in blocking, tackling, and executing their plays. We are all proud of the boys. But the seniors who are graduating will certain- ly be missed next year. PURE OIL PRODUCTS FOR BETTER SERVICE BEN MONTGOMERY 124 EAST MARKET STREET 52 This is an example of the high enthusiasm expressed by the team and their parents. In the picture of the team, Coach Pierson is being carried in the air by the proud players after winning the SCO Championship at Circleville by a close score. Coach looks happy too. The lower picture shows the parents cheering the boys on in a very exciting play. GOOD LUCK CLASS OF 52 QUALITY HARDWARE AT CARPENTER'S HARDWARE STORE 53 The Basketball team lost two senior players from the 1952 squad. They will both be a great loss. Lloyd Arnold, left, was our very capable center who was the tall man of the squad. Anytime our team needed points Lloyd was right there to pour them into the basket. There will cer- tainly be a big hole left in the line-up next year. Bud Dawson, right, was our aggressive guard with the dead eye. Bud was the main set-up man in the front court, but could always make a showing in the outer court. The hoops were al- ways kept hot with Dawson on the court. These cheerleaders were always there in those cru- cial moments to lead the boys on to victory. Dur- ing even the coldest night of football season these girls were out front yell- ing for their team. The varsity cheerleaders will lose four girls this year: Glenna Parks, Paddy Boso, Mary Lou Sollars, and Betty Lou Rostofer (not pictured). These girls will be replaced by the four reserves: Patty Litz, janet Howard, Mary Louise Stewart, and |eri Ann Boylan who will team up with the two junior members of the varsity cheerleaders: Shirley Vin- cent, and Jane Washburn to form next years varsity squad. 54 VARSITY BASKETBALL Row 1—Glenn Milstead, Bud Dawson, Jon Pensyl, Don Foster, Walter Plymale, David Crone. Row 2—Bob Alkire, Claude Smith, Jack Rettig, Wayne Van Meter, Lloyd Arnold, Norman Crosswhite, Coach Townsend. The Blue Lions of W. H. S. had an off and on season They got off to a sluggish start losing to Xenia, Bexley, and Dayton Kiser. Then they jumped into the win column by trouncing Circleville, 46-34 only to fall before Dayton Fairview. Something new was added in a Christmas Holiday Tournament presented at our gym, but the home team bowed to its opponents, Grandview and Grove City. This might have discouraged most teams but not our cagers for they beat a favored Greenfield team 51-47 and Ashland, another good team, 61-60. Then they knocked off Wilmington, 43-41 to make it three wins in a row. But disaster struck. Hillsboro handed the Blue Lions their first league defeat by a score of 55-54. Again the Blue Lions went into a winning streak, first turning back Linden McKinley and then having sweet revenge on Hillsboro by a decisive score of 60-41. Then Wilmington fell before the home team again but by the score of 40-37. After losing to Franklin, the Blue Lions lost one of the most important games of the season. Green- field took the S. C. O. League title by winning 58-52. The Blue Lions still kept up their spirits and went on to victory in our last two games, Delaware Willis and Dayton Fairmont. The Blue Lions lost their first game in the tournament to Bexley by a score of 63-56. Jack Rettig, made first team in the S. C. 0. while Lloyd Arnold and Bob Alkire made the second S. C. 0. team: Bud Dawson and Wayne Van Meter, both received honorable mention. 55 These are four of the action shots taken from the Varsity basketball season. Many of the boys jumped right out of football onto the basketball floor and still had plenty of the old fighting spirit. You could count on going to the game any night the Lions played and see- ing plenty of hot and aggressive ball playing. The team showed great cooperation and team work during the season proving that they had the makings of a real ball club, which was evident in most of the season. The Lions had many bigger and higher rated teams to face during the season, but they always went in to win and came out ahead in many of these games. Usually Coach Townsend had every member of the squad in the game at one time or another and the boys looked very promising for next years season. The team had a couple of tough breaks during the season but all in all they ended up with the sort of basketball team any school likes to have; with plenty of spirit, ability, team work, and the will to win. COMPLIMENTS OF |. ELMER WHITE AND SON DESOTO — PLYMOUTH DEALER 56 RESERVE BASKETBALL Row 1 —Coach Koons, Roger Whitley, Dale Dawson, Max Schlichter, Dick Tracey, Dale Coppock. Row 2—Charles Cox, Ronnie Meyer, Lyle Self, Sam Marting, Rich- ard Benson. The reserve squad got off to a slow start, but under the capable direction of Coach Koons, they came out of their slump just in time to start the league competition off with a bang. They started out against a bigger and more experienced squad than they had been expecting to meet and lost their first game to Bexley. When they met Dayton Kiser they looked like a great team by holding them to a tie at the end of the game but losing by one point in the overtime. The teamwork began to show when they won their first league game. They were beaten by another one point margin by Fairview in a hard fought game. The boys looked good again against Greenfield, beating them by one point. At this time in the season they looked like the team to beat and turned out to be. They whizzed by Madison Mills, Wilmington, and Hillsboro, but were defeated by Linden-McKinley. The boys had an off-night against Greenfield and wound up on the short end of the score. This forced them to share the reserve championship with McClain. The team ended their season by losing a game to Delaware and one to Dayton Fairmont. The boys were a little green this year but came out with a very successful season and look very promising for next year. 57 JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL The boys in the Junior high grades were given a chance to get into real league competition this year by being able to participate in junior high football and basketball. There were many boys who answered the call for junior high football and Coach Townsend finally weeded the team down to 35 members. The boys worked hard during the season and got a lot of good experience. They then jumped into their basketball shoes. Under the direction of Coach Pierson they had a very successful season by winning the S. C. O. League title: With the experience the boys got in their junior high sports, they look like a very promising and capable bunch of boys to fill the shoes left empty by the leaving reserve and varsity players. 58 VARSITY BASEBALL AND TRACK We regret that we are unable to say very much about either our baseball or track teams because our Sunburst went to press before either team got into real competition. The boys out for baseball and track started their spring training in the gymnasium under the leadership of Coach Pierson and Coach Koons respectively. The baseball team, with the many returning lettermen looked very promising. Since this is the first year for our track team since it was discontinued, we will just have to wait and see how it comes out. For both of these teams the boys are looking good and all ready for their first meet. 8EST WISHES CLASS OF '52 WASHINGTON PAINT AND GLASS 59 All work and no play makes one dull, So when the year's activities began, the call was heard by all, Whether it be G.A.A, F.F.A., or Y- Teens, To belong makes a person feel supreme and keen, These clubs teach us to think, plan, build and create. That's not all for they guide and inspire and teach us to cooperate, Here we have made lasting friendships which will last through time's vague mists, As old age creeps up we will think of all the fun and parties and realize how much they are missed. 60 61 1st Row: John Bainter; David Carter; Ronnie Whitaker; Jim Williams, V.

The Washington band never quits till the best is done. Trumpets, trombones, clarinets and basoons, plus many more instruments go together to make the mighty tune. In the new band room sixth period many sounds we hear. The constant roar of chatter, the horn squeaks and the telling of the work to be done this year. But truly our band has a splendor all its own. Its sweet melodies and harmonies are ones that very few bands have known. 69 This year a new club, the Vocational Industrial Club was organized. This club is part of the state organization. The club's purpose is: To unite in a common bond students enrolled in trade and industrial and industrial co-operative training classes in various public schools of Ohio. To provide opportunities for the development of leadership in civic, and industrial pursuit among the members. To foster high ideals and appreciation for the dignity of work and employment in business and industry. To create among student bodies, faculty members, patrons of the schools, and persons in business and indus- try,, a deep interest and eteem for vocational industrial training. To promote high standards of workmanship and scholarship. To offer opportunities for and to stimulate interest in educational and wholesome recreational activities. To understand and encour- age the practice of sonservation of time, materials, and money. Its advisors are Authur D. Engle and Paul E. Pritchard. This year's officers were: President—Irwin Inderriden; Vice-Pesident—Jack English; Secretary and Treasurer—Harvey Pollock; News Reporter—Thomas Smith; Sergeant at Arms—Daryl Stewart 70 Class History Hu8h Wi,son The hourglass marks the time as 9:00 a.m.. a bright morning early in September 1948. This was the time of our arrival in Washington High School. We, the class of 1952 were to record many enjoyable and profitable experiences in our history as the hourglass was turned. If we had sat watching the sand slowly sift from one bulb to the other in the hourglass, time would have passed slowly, very slowly, for us. But in the four years that now seem to us like four turnings of the hourglass, we as students have learned much from the endless toils of our teachers as they have tried to penetrate our skulls to ready us for the future. The first hour began with us little shy freshmen getting acquainted with our fellow students, teachers, and the school. Each grain of sand that sifted through the hourglass that year marked some outstanding event for us. The ones we wish to record are: The class elected: Terry Bright, President; Bob Cullen, Vice-President; Rosanne Dawson, Secretary; and David Fabb, Treasurer. During this year many of us chose athletics, band and other organizations as our extracurricular activities; these could be developed and enjoyed through the coming years. Our Homecoming attendant was Hannah Salyers. Time passed slowly until spring came bring- ing with it the band concert, the class party in the gym and vacation. During the summer the band got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of going to New York to represent Ohio at the Lions International Convention. No one can record the joy as we marched down the ever-famous Fifth Avenue. The time had arrived when we must turn the hourglass for the second hour and enter our sophomore year. The important events marked by the sand were: The first class meeting where we elected our leaders for this year. They were: Terry Bright, President; joe Wilson, Vice-President; Rosanne Dawson, Secretary; and Glenna Parks, Treasurer. Vocational Agricul- ture was added to the curriculum this year, a subject that gave many farm boys a practical and very useful education. We sophomores chose Dorothy Pennington to attend the Homecoming Queen. The assembly programs this year were as interesting and entertaining as the preced- ing year's had been. Our class party was enjoyed by everyone. By this time half of our high school life was completed, we again turned the hourglass and reentered Washington High School as upperclassmen. We had finally made the grade. Now we could tell the underclassmen the score. Our able junior officers were: Jim Williams, Presi- dent; Allen Grillot, Vice-President; Janet Parrett, Secretary; and Mary McDonald, Treasurer. Janet Parrett was also selected the Homecoming Queen attendant this year. We presented the unforgettable Cheaper By The Dozen as our class play. Our spring formal dances got under way with the Hi-Y Sweetheart dance, the Junior-Senior Carousel, and the long anticipated Class Night. Other spring activities were the class party, band concert, baseball, and finals. We had finally reached the time when we turned the hourglass for the last time in our high school career, the sand again marking the outstanding events. The honor of being Senior Class President went to Bob Beatty, and his able assistants were: Barbara Barger, Vice-Presi- dent; Joy Callender, Secretary; and Shirley Riegel, Treasurer. They all did fine jobs. The football team, led by Captain Dale Orihood, came out on top and were the S.C.O. League Champs. Cheering them to victory, we elected Mary McDonald Homecoming Queen and Bar- bara Barger as senior attendant. This year, we as a class, felt the sting of war when two of our class members, Raymond Bennett and Bob Smith, were killed while in the Armed Services. The Thespians presented Chicken Every Sunday and the Senior Class gave, All My Sons . At our class party held in the gym we spotlighted Styles Through the Years. As the last few grains of sand rushed through the hourglass we were caught in the whirl of excitement of the Junior-Senior Prom, Baccalaureate, Class Night, and Commencement. With this, the last grain of sand dropped through the hourglass there ending our high school life. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the faculty who have had a job more difficult than smashing the atom in trying to break our resistance to all mental efforts to pro- vide us with an education. We are now leaving these halls that we love so well, but we would like to say, Thanks loads! it's been swell. Class Will Bud Dawson We the graduating members of the class of 1952 of Washington High School, as we leave behind us four of the greatest years of our lives, of which each one has been so graci- ously given us by the faculty and of which we have received so gratefully, do hereby draw up and publish this to be our last will and testament.

Class Prophecy Allen Grillot Its the year 1965 in Washington C. H. and the beginning of another day. The town has grown to a city of several million and is one of the most modern in the world. Yesterday I took off in my rocket ship on my routine mail delivery around the world. Two of the mechanics Sammy Troute and Daryl Stewart informed me that the ship was ready to go. As I taxied down the runway to take off, I noticed a huge limousine pulling into the airport and out jumped an imposing figure of a man dressed ud in a fancy western outfit. Then I recognized it was Lloyd Arnold, the wealthy Texas cattleman, who was returning to Texas after just completing a deal for the sale of several hundred thousand head of cattle. We then took off and headed toward New York City which was our first stop. As we were about to unload the mail, I noticed a letter which was addressed to Terry's Diamond Sales which I later found out was operated by Terry Bright. The sender of the letter was Merrill Kaufman who was ordering 4,200 karat diamonds which were to be inserted into the hub caps of his new multi-million dollar Cadillac. It seems he was giving this car to his chauffeur, Bob Gidding, for his faithful service through the years. As I dug further into the bag, I found several other letters which were from members of my graduating class in high school. One was from the School of Beauty Modeling School, the president of which was Beverly Carman. The vice president was Harriett Cunningham and the secretary was Barbara Hughes. I also saw in the letter where they had seven of the world's most beautiful models whom I recognized as members of the Class of 1952. They were Barbara Barger, Dorothy Pennington, Shirley Riegel, janet Parrett, Emily Schlue. Becky Waters, and Betty Jo Reed. It was being sent to the famous Parisian designer, Marilyn Cun- ningham. I also spotted a letter from the Norman Melvin and David Boswell Auto Wrecking Co. to the Irwin Inderriden Speed Shop of which Homer Hart was the chief mechanic. When we had delivered the mail and were preparing to leave, we heard a terrible crash down the street. Being very inquisitive, I hurried down the street to see what had happened. When I arrived on the scene, I saw several cars and trucks all piled up. When the Chief of Police, jon Merritt, arrived, I asked him what had happened. He told me a Mrs. McCray, whom I later recognized as Ruthann Brookover, had made a signal for a right turn but at the last minute had changed her mind and had driven her 1965 Narh Ambassador broadside into a truckload of eggs. The truck was driven by David Thomas of Bloomingburg, Ohio. In the ex- citement Richard Lloyd had crashed his 1948 Chrysler convertible into a car driven by the Justice of the Peace, Dale Wilson. Then a flashing red light was seen, and up pulled an am- bulance driven by Flying James Tuvell who had just come from the hospital eight miles away in thirteen seconds. After all the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Huey Aills drove up in his wrecker and with the help of his assistants, Paul Swayne and Harold Penwell, soon cleared up the wreckage. When I looked at my watch, I saw that I was late, and my next stop was in the Hawaiian Islands. Upon flying over the city of Honolulu I noticed a sign that read Welcome Queen Bess. When we had landed, asked some vacationers, whom I recognized as Ann Hamilton, Marjorie Ratliff, and Gwendolyn Aills who were with their husbands, what the sign had meant. They informed me that Queen Bess was none other than Glenna Parks of the Fiji Islands who was coming to the city for a little night life, but it seemed that the King had been left behind to babysit. By this time it was mid-day and I was hungry so I located a nice restaurant and went in to get a bite to eat. I was met at the door by Dale Orihood who explained to me that he and Hugh Wilson and Jim Williams had formed a partner- ship to buy the restaurant. When I sat down, I was brought a huge meal which I was told was prepared by their famous chef, Donald Woods. I also recognized several waitresses who were: Phyllis Wright, Jacque Stone, Frances Wissinger, and Bernice Davis and the eyecatching cigarette girl, Mary McDonald. As I finished my delicious meal, the floor show started and at once I recognized the first singer as Donna Andrews. Then the next singer vocalized the most beautiful singing I had ever heard. Soon I realized it was the celebrated crooner, Bud Dawson. Then, in a burst of applause, appeared the star of the show, Senorita Nancy Kimmey, the exotic South American dancer. As I was leaving, I ran into Jean Ann Boylan and Marlene Matthews who were going shop- ping for their children. They invited me to go along and, since I, too, was a bargain hunter, I went along. We entered a large department store and we noticed a mob around the hosiery counter. It seems one day a week they give away free nylons and we, too, entered the mob. After a long struggle. I emerged with two pairs of nylons which I took home to my wife. Suddenly I remembered I still had to finish my route, I started away when I recognized several people lying on the beach sunning themselves. They were John Melvin, Harley Mon- gold. Peggy Williams, Gloria Sword and lazily and sleeping under a palm tree was Jim Smith, the grocery magnate. I also noticed Charles Hays, the world's champion swimmer. Then I headed toward Paris and after a few thousand miles I met a rocket ship zooming directly at me. I saw Joe Wilson leaning out one side and Don Howard and Don Bandy leaning out the other. I soon realized their peril; they were being pursued by Betty Rostofer, Mary Lou Sollars, and Joy Callendar and Jo Ann Shope. The boys were three of the wealthiest bachelors in the world and the girls couldn't resist them. After a short stop at Paris I headed toward home for the last but the most important stop of all. When I landed I quickly grabbed up three large sacks of mail and hurried off towards my destination. As I climbed the steps of Washington High School, I was met by the smiling principal, E. Bob Beatty, who had just finished talking with the two coaches who had championship teams this year, Bob Cullen and Stephen Brown. Since there was a school board meeting that evening, I decided to stay for that. When everyone was assembled, the Superintendent of Schools, Don Gorman, and his secretary, Ruth Cheatwood, came in and the meeting began. The first case was that of the problem of reckless driving. A citizens committee composed of Bonnie Warner, Roy Woodrow, Thelma Beedy, Chloe Carson, Ruth Sexton, Joan Robinson, Margaret Wilson and Harvey Pol- lock had protested because of the rocket ships zooming up and down the streets. Three mem- bers of the city council: Wilbur Knisley, Lloyd Cartwright, and Charles Matthews were present and said the fast driving would be stopped immediately. Also present were some of the out- standing women of the community: Beverly Clickner, Janice East, Ludene Massie, Marian Walston, Eleanor Clay, Eula Cox, and Helen Justice. The principal speaker was the noted chemist, Robert Bailey, who had perfected a combination hair cream and tooth paste. Several other outstanding citizens were Thomas Smith, a local automobile dealer, David Fabb, the Democratic nominee for governor, Sandra Griffith, who operated the largest Fox Farm in the state, Bruce Wickensimer, proprietor, and Charles Harris, the chief of police. Just then I looked at my watch and I was horrified when I saw how late it was. As I scurried out of the doorway, I ran into Faye Ann Sagar who was bringing her son in to have a talk with his teacher, Cloetta Adams. Right behind her were Shirley Church, Betty Bapst, Barbara Edgington and Pat Boso with little Patricia. It seemed Miss Adams was the meanest teacher in school and none of the students could get along with her. But I clutched my nylons (which I intended to use as a peace offering, because it was very late and I was henpecked.) All in all, it had been a very wonderful day. I had been able to see my classmates of the Class of 1952. who are wonderful people and I hope all are very successful in life. Success and Happiness to the Class of '52 WATERS SUPPLY CO. 1206 So.
