You are about to reap the harvest which you have sown over a period of the last twelve years. Ls indeed a time for sober reflection. Educa- tion is a never-ending process. Man progresses because he is constantly struggling to improve his lot. Self-satisfaction stifles progress. Your success inlife will be meausred by your abil- ity to reap enjoyment and satisfaction in what you do. Gracious liv- ing comes from the peace of mind that results in the knowledge of a job well done. Would that you might adopt the philosophy of a noted educator who said, Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. It is my sincere hope that each one of you may enjoy much success and happiness as you face the future. E. WAYNE TITUS Principal MR. WALTER F RETTIG President MR.

PINAFORE This year the Mixed Choir attempted something new, for them, by presenting the well known Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore,” directed by Mr. William H. Bowman. The leading roles were played by James Micheal as Ralph, the love-lorn sailor, and Marty Hudson as the beautiful Josephine. Jon Pensyl as Sir Joseph, Lord of the Sea, and Jo Davis as Buttercup, added notes of hilarity while Glenn Milstead played the deter- mined Captain with much gusto. Joan Campbell as Hebe, John Swengle as the Boatswain, and Dick Pensyl as the carpenter completed the cast. Everything ended happily and a good time was had by all.” The Thespians came out this year with a hilarious comedy entitled You Can't Take It With You.” This play is centered around the Sycamore family and their actions, starting with Nancy James as Penny, the mother, Joe Provost, the father, Carolyn Wackman, as Essie, and Dennis O’Connor as grandpa. With the family and add- ing romance with Dick Waters as Tony Kirby was Shirley Vincent as Alice. The play was popping all the way through with the help of Mike Birely as De-Pinna and his fireworks. Although Rheba the maid, Beverly Cross- white, isn't a member of the family she adds to the con- fusion. The Kirby family brings in complications by being just the opposite of the Sycamores. Jack English as Mr. Kirby and Sue Barchet as Mrs. Kirby become quite alarmed when Paula Sperry as Gay Wellington, an actress friend of Penny's comes on the scene drunk, not to men- tion when the whole household was under arrest by the G-Men, Homer Shelton, Bobby Cameron and Eddie Moots. In the picture at the left, Jim Newbry, Max Schlichter, Linda Lovell, LaVera Johnson, and Nancy Swaim are shown as they tried out for parts in the Junior Class Play which was given this year in April. The play was entitled One Foot in Heaven.” The annual class play given by the Seniors this year was a play to touch your heart strings and tickle your funny bone. It was the Curious Savage” written by John Pat- rick. The story was centered around the activities of the guests” living at the Cloisters. These people, played by John Scott as Hannibal, Jack English as Jeff, Nancy James as Fairy, Shirley Hickman as Florence, and Carolyn Wackman as Mrs. Paddy, were termed as lively A little beyond reality,” interrupted by a visitor from the outer world, Mrs. Savage played by Dinah Davis, with her incredible stuffed elephant full of million-dollar bonds. These bonds were wanted by the children, Paula Sperry as Lillybelle, Ed Korn as Titus, and Jim Anderson as Samuel. The troubles of the Savages and the hilariousness of the guests were all straightened out by the nurse, Mary Lu Biehn as Miss Willie, and the doctor Dick Waters as Doctor Emmett. As a conclusion, we see the “guests” as they think they are. rirst row: Jean Sword. Sharon Neff. Joan Campbell, Shirley Hickman, Jo Davis, Charlotte Butcher, Sherry Bright, Barbara Hill.

This Club is organized to build a fellowship of young girls devoted to the task of realizing those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. The members are made up of Freshmen and Sophomore girls willing to work hard for the club and com- munity. This year they assisted the Senior Y-Teens in giving the annual Christmas dance and in selling refreshments at their stand during football season. They also do much good by contributing to the needy.

THESPIAN CLUB The aim of each Thespian is to create interest in dramatic activities. Admission into the honor society of the National Thespian League is not only a reward for those who have taken an active part in acting and stage assistance, but is also an incentive for better Washington High School plays and assemblies. The foremost purpose of the club is to bring to the minds of more students staging productions. The members, under the direction of Thomas G. Mansell, gave a great production of You Can’t Take It With You. Several trips have been taken to Columbus to attend performances of various plays at the Hartman Theatre. A thought uppermost in all of the members minds is The Show Must Go On. Without William B. Clift, Jr., commonly known as Bill” the Washington High School Band would not be or could not do what it does today. To him, we say Thanks a million! Leading the Washington High School Band are the sharp stepping, strutting majorettes. There is a mas- cot major and majorette, they are Randy Mann and Linda Hurtt. The head drum major is Bob English. The majorettes are Sue Scott, Paula Sperry, Nancy James, Sue McNutt, Joyce Bandy, La Vera Johnson, Mar- jorie Hunter, and Portia Brown- ell. Many a tear was shed when the Senior members marched through the traditional Hour Glass at the last football game of the season. It will be very strange not to them all out there next year. see w At each football game of the season we see the crack Washing- ton High School Marching Band form the familiar W and hear the strains of our Alma Mater float past our ears.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS of AMERICA The Future Homemakers of America, commonly known at FHA, is organized to prepare teen-age girls for the task of managing a home. The biggest project for making money in their club is by selling refreshments at all of our home games. Also the girls carry on various projects such as sewing, cooking, and home management. The girls always keep in their minds the motto of their club: '‘Look Toward New Horizons.” Last year the girls lost a very competent leader, Mrs. Olive Woodyard. This year the girls planned a party in her honor. Through the loss of one leader, they gained another capable advisor, Miss Ruth Kinney.

Each year the boys compete in contests of Parliamentary Procedure demonstrations and always come out high in public speaking. In the spring the boys sponsor a parent-son banquet. For money making purposes the club sells refreshments at all the home football and basketball games. The competent leader- ship is by Mr. Dewey Huffman. They plow together! First row Leora Barnes.

Intramurals enjoyed by these athletically-inclined girls are volleyball, deck tennis, bas- ketball, newcomb, and baseball. For each member who participates, points are given toward a W letter. Members learn to work and play with one another and to develop co-operative spirit and a greater attitude of responsibility. Under the advisorship oi Miss Anne Stinson, many wonderful sports events have been participated in this year. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club is to develop those traits that are most desirable in an efficient office employee—dependability, accuracy, responsib.lity, poise, personality, and courtesy. Most members of this club are enrolled in the commere,al education course. The pur- pose of the club is to bring its members closer to the realities of the bus,ness world. The club meetings are held each month in the homes of the various members where they discuss office technique, manner, dress, and how to get along with office assoc,ates.

This year, with our president, Jon Pensyl, we have had many problems dis- cussed and solved. With the money from the annual magazine drive the Council decided that our school most needed a movie projector. It was purchased and is now in use by all the teachers and students. Among the things accomplished by the Council this year are; sponsoring the Homecoming Dance, bell schedule change, religious council, and pro- moting the new water cooler system in the lower halls. Members of the council consist of a member from each homeroom and one alternate. In every way they have represented the students' wishes and needs. First row: Paul Warneck.

They willingly gave up their study periods to be of assistance to the library. Their main job is to check books taken in and out of the library by students and faculty. The aim is to have one assistant for every period of the day. In addition to the librarians there are two messengers who take care of fines, overdue books and reserve books. Also, there are those who shelve all the books just checked in. These people are all to be thanked for all their help.

THE FUTURE TEACHERS of AMERICA The Future Teachers of America is one of the most active and helpful clubs in the school. It is rated as the oldest club of Future Teachers in the state of Ohio. The club gives aid to the teachers of W.H.S. by substitute teaching, grading papers, working in the offices and running errands. Each year when the school has 'Open House,” members serve as guides to the visitors attending. Each thing done by a member is classed as points which make up diplomas to the outgoing Senior members. For community help, the club makes scrapbooks for the local hospital. For entertainment, members have an annual Valentine Party and a Spring Breakfast for all Senior members. §' §, First row: Roberta Theobald. Shirley Cockerill. Walter Plymale.

THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is representative of scholarship—leadership—service— character. This society, which corresponds in high school to the Phi Beta Kappa in the universities, was first organized in 1903 at the Southside Academy in Chicago. Devel- oping and helping others to develop a well-rounded personality so that they will become useful and well-adjusted citizens is the big purpose of the organization. This year a tape recorder was presented to the school for its use by the different classes. Each spring the initiation of new members is held in the auditorium for the whole student body to witness.

The Blue Lions of 1952 were nothing short of spectacular. They were the answer to a coach’s dream. What power! What stamina!! What skill !!! UN- BELIEVABLE:!!! Fred Jacoby took over the head coaching chores this year. Fie was ably assisted by Curt Koons, Harry Townsend, and Rollo Beach. The scjuad started practice this season in mid- August. By September they were ready for the on- slaught. They opened the season by soundly defeating Linden-McKinley 59-0. This was followed by a victory over a good Xenia team. 38-13. Then the Lions mauled and completely massacred Monroe by a score of 81-0. Momentum was high as the Lions swept through the ranks of three S. C. O. League- teams: Greenfield was turned back 16-0. Hillsboro was tamed for the first time in the season by a score of 60-0, and Wilmington was stifled by a score ot 77-6. The big city boys from Dayton Kaiser then Jim Newland. Ronnie Meyer. Jim Cunningham, invaded this city, but left w ith a score of 59-0 in favor of the Blue and White. A good Bexley team tried their skill on our powerhouse but w-as finally de- feated 32-0. Our old rivals from Circleville had last crack at our team but the fury and spirit o! the Blue Lions could not be subdued. Circleville went down to the count of 55-7. The end of the season found the Blue Lions ranked sixth in the state by the Associated Press. During the season the Lions racked up 507 points against their opponents 32 points. All nine opponents together were held to 135 yards, gained by rushing. There is no single reason for the Lions attaining the success that they did. The coaches could not have asked for a better blocking and defensive line, a more superb back field, or more conscientious sub- stitutes. And the players could not have asked tor better coaches. What did Washington think of the team???? TERRIFFIC!!!! Smith on First All Star Team, Waters on Second Below: Carl SMITH, probably the greatest football player to come out of Washington High School. The following is a list of the honors he has had. All S. C. O.. three years. Second Team, All State, 19M. First Team, All State, 1952. Most Outstanding player in State, 1952. Class A scoring record holder, 294. Chic Harley All Senior Team. Above: Carl Smith and Dick Waters congratulate each other on their selection to the All Stale Team. Carl was picked for the first team at left halfback. Dick was selected for the position of left guard on the second team. They are both seniors and their loss will be greatly felt by the team. Dick and Carl, we too, congratulate you. Besides Carl and Dick being selected for the All State Team, they were both picked for the First All S.C.O.L. Team along with team mates Bob Alkire cjuar- terback, Wayne Van Meter-left end, Joe Provost-center, and Jim Perrill-lcft tackle. Also sharing in the honor were the following boys who were chosen for the second team: Bob Dec-ring, Charles Holbrook, and Neal Childress. Those receiv- ing honorable mention were. Jack Rettig, Max Schlichter. Walter Plymalc, Don Foster, and Glen Milstead. These boys, under the coaching of Fred Jacoby and Curt Koons, made up what is probably the greatest team ever to come out of Washington High School. As a sign of their greatness, they were selected by the Associated Press as the sixth best team in the state. With the exception of Glen and Max, the rest are Seniors. To you all, we otter our sincere congratulations. We will miss you next year. HIGHLIGHTS of ’52 This team has been a coach's dream, one that does not come often to any school.” Coach Jacoby.

The cagers of '52-'53 made up one of the great- est teams ever known to W.H.S. as they won 17 games and lost but 4. And to top this off, they won the S.C.O. League Championship and came out on top in the Raidiger Invitational Tourney at Waverly during the Christmas vacation. The Lions started the season off right by winning nine games in a row. These defeated teams included New Holland, Columbus, Grandview, Bexley, Xenia, Central Wilmington 77-47, Circleville 52-45, Hillsboro 73-55, and Waverly and Circleville in the Waverly Tourney. This win streak was stopped, however, by Columbus Linden McKinley and Greenfield 67-63. But the determined cagers, under Coach Townsend's leadership, bounced back and mauled Frankfort 97-40, London 66-46, and Hillsboro 72-56. After a defeat at the hands of Columbus Central, the Lions went on to down Circleville 62-57, Franklin 84-60, Wilmington 19-16, Greenfield 64-47, and Dayton Fairmont 62-59. The Lion Cagers made an exceptionally good showing in the district tournament against Columbus Last but lost by the heartbreaking score of 65-61. This was the last year for Bob Alkire, David Crone, Dewey Foster, Jack Rettig, Claude Smith, and Wayne Van Meter. They will certainly be missed next year. Good luck fellows!

Two of their losses were by one point. They opened their schedule by decisively beating New Holland 34-18. But they were humbled by Columbus Grandview. Bexley and Xenia Central, before bouncing back into the win column to snatch their first S.C.O. League victory from Wilmington by a score of 35-33. The Reserves were then turned back by Circleville 44-32 only to bound back and beat Hillsboro 35-33, and Linden McKinley 54-41. This was followed by a heartbreaking loss to Greenville by a score of 42-35. This, however, did not dampen the hopes and spirits of these fine boys. They whipped Frankfort and London on successive nights and after a short breather, went on to tear through the ranks of Hillsboro, 52-40, Columbus Central, 42-33, and Circleville, 55-42. This 5 game win streak caused much jubilation among these future varsity stars and their coach, Curt Koons. However, they met some very stiff competition toward the end of the season as they were stubbornly defeated by Franklin 54-38, Wilmington 50-37, Greenfield 68-51, and Dayton Fairmont 45-33. The last game will long be remembered by the second and the third stringers as some of them got to start the game and many of them played one and even two full quarters. We sincerely believe that these boys will make exceptionally good varsity players in the next two and three seasons. WE THEY WE THEY New Holland 34 18 Frankfort 39 32 Col.

When Coach Fred Jacoby announced try-outs for the Junior High basketball team, he was swamped with 53 eager and enthusiastic seventh and eighth graders. It was quite a job to pick out a team but finally 18 boys were picked. Twelve of these boys made up the A” or regular squad and the other 6 made up the ”B squad which was held in reserve. They played intramural teams. Youthful enthusiasm plus Coach Jacoby's patience and winning personality brought about a very successful season as they won 10 of their 12 games. The Juniors played each of the S.C.O. League teams and Mt. Sterling twice and London and Jeffersonville once. They had a 9 game win streak until Greenfield beat them in their second encounter by the score of 35-30. Coach Jacoby will lose the majority of his boys this year but they will greatly bolster the strength of next years reserve. Mt.

And apparently, our cheerleaders did an exceptionally good job because it isn’t often that a school has both football and basket- ball championship teams during the same school year. While the players would give their all on the gridiron and on the hardwood, the girls would enthusiastically cheer them on to victory. There could be no more loyal supporters than these girls in blue and white. The above girls cheered for the football team but as the basketball season rolled around, Mary Louise, Janet, and Patty cheered for the reserves and Jane, Shirley, and Jeri cheered for the varsity squad. The girls on the right are the Junior High cheerleaders. We of the annual staff feel that they all did a good job. First row: Carol Grimm, Janet Emrick, Sandra Rose.

H., Ohio The Washington News Publishing Company Publishers of the Record Herald CLASS HISTORY (By Jim Anderson) We, the graduating class of 1953, say goodbye to Washington High School. We have sung our “Auld Lang Syne.” Now we must leave these hallowed halls in which we have all learned to work and play together. We carry with us many memories of wonderful events, those that have been happy, unforgettable, and sad. Our four years at WHS have been like fleeting periods in some of our thrilling gridiron and cage classics, flitting oh, so fast. It is now, as we are ready to face the future, we realize how priceless they were. Our big story, the story of the achievements and activities of the Class of ’53, is one we are proud to recall and tell. Period I! After eight years in grade school and junior high, since our for- mal education did begin in 1941, we finally made the “squad” as freshmen. It was a great day when we entered WHS as full-fledged freshmen. For some of us who came in from the country it was a new experience, while for the rest of us who lived in town it was like a promotion, a promotion from the junior high halls to the high school building and from the “peanut gallery” to the main floor of the auditorium. When we became freshmen the doorway to many opportunities and further knowledge was opened wide to those who had set their sights high. To launch us on our high school career, we had as our advisor Mrs. Mayo. We started out with a squad of 235 and elected as president, Bob Alkire; vice- president, Dick Waters; secretary, Nancy Humphries; and treasurer, Jack Rettig. For Bob Alkire, Wayne Van Meter, and Carl Smith it was their first year of varsity football, while Dick Waters, Charlie Holbrook, Joe Provost, Dewey Fos- ter, Neal Childress and Jim Perrill were having a banner year on Coach Ron Guinn’s Junior High eleven. It was also Bob Alkire’s first year at varsity bas- ketball. He received honorable mention on the SCO team. Jack Rettig, Wayne Van Meter, Dave Crone, and Dewey Foster were being groomed on the reserve team. In baseball, Skip Allen, along with many of the aforementioned fellows, played his first year. This was an important year in sports for these boys be- cause it was then that they got their basic training which built them into the great teams of the next three years. This was also our first year to enter the many different clubs and organiza- tions. Many of the boys and girls played in the “crack” WHS marching band. Some other important highlights were: our attendant to the Homecoming Queen was Roberta Theobald; the annual Christmas Y-Teen Dance, which was our first big dance; and the Freshman Party in the gym. This wound up the activities of our first period. Period II! With the first period of the game of education having been played, we decided high school was a pretty good place and we entered period two with great expectations. This was our year to start to rise and shine. We now knew the fundamentals of the game and started to become active in the organizations around school. But as the word sophomore means young and foolish typical of our actions at times, we still had lots to learn about growing up. The first thing we did was to choose class officers. They were: president, Walter Plymale; vice-president: Jon Pensyl; secretary, David Crone; and treasurer, Eddie Korn. The fall of the year brought football, and as the season closed it was good to note that our boys were much improved. Bob Alkire, Carl Smith, and Wayne Van Meter were awarded places on the all SCO team. At the Homecoming game, we elected Betty Anchutz as our attendant. In our sophomore year, a new course was also added to the curriculum, Vocational Agriculture, which taught the boys who live on farms the real mechanics of farming. At Christmas came the Y-Teen Dance, which by now we knew more about. After that the time flew by rapidly bringing with it a flurry of events; namely, the Reserve basketball team win- ning of the SCO title; by the spring vacation; the Band Concert; Scholarship Tests; the Hi-Y Sweetheart Dance; and finally our Class Party, which was a gala affair with the decorating scheme of a large luxury liner Period III. For two years now we had been considered as bench warmers by our upperclassmen and the great day finally came when we made the first string. This was our year to have fun and to make a name for ourselves, and we really did. The busier you are the faster time goes, and that was the way it was with us—never a dull moment. With Miss Talbott and Mr. Dudley as our ad- visors, and Kemp Allemang, president; Dick Waters, vice-president; Roberta Theo- bald, secretary; and Jack Alkire, treasurer, we started the year off. For the boys in football, it was a memorable year, for they won the SCO crown. It was a per- fect tribute to Coach Fred Pierson, who had built the team, and left WHS that year to become head football coach at Marietta. Shirley Cockerill was our at- tendant to the Homecoming Queen. After Christmas and the Y-Teen Dance the Junior Class under its new dramatics director, Mr. Mansell, presented its first play, “Junior Miss.” It was a great success and opened up a new field of activity for those interested in acting. Next came an event anxiously awaited by many of us, the National Honor Society’s induction of new members. Spring caught us in a whirl—the Junior-Senior Prom and Class Night, and for the boys, a new sport, track, in which we won the title. The periods brought to a grand climax by the Class Party. , , a m Period IV! Then came the day when our team of 119, those who kept fighting when the chips were down, entered WHS as Senior warriors. This was our last period to play the game, this was our banner year to really raise the score. We had built our stairway to the stars and this was our year to climb it and make a history never to be forgotten in the annals of WHS. As our grand leaders we elected Joe Provost, president; Sue Scott, vice-president; John Scott, secretary; and Wayne Van Meter, treasurer. Miss Trent, Mrs. O’Brian, and Mr. Clift were our helpful advisors to get off on a booming start. We won the SCO football title for the second straight year. For eighteen seniors it was their last year to play for their Alma Mater. Our team was chosen sixth in the state and Carl Smith was chosen the best player in Ohio. For Joe Provost, Dick Waters. Neal Childress, Carl Smith, Dewey Foster, Bob Deering, Jack Rettig, Jim Perrill. Walter Plymale, Charlie Holbrook, Bob Alkire, Wayne Van Meter. Ed Korn, Chester Dean, Skip Allen, Mike Bireley, Dick Wilt, and Jim Anderson, guys we’ll always remember, it was the greatest experience of their lives. At our Homecoming Game, Queen Roberta Theobald reigned with Nancy James her attendant, as we trounced Greenfield. There was no let down after that, either, because we went on to win the SCO championship in basketball. It was a great year for Jack Rettig, who received honorable mention in the state, and for Bob Alkire, Wayne Van Meter, and David Crone. The Senior Class turned in a stellar performance with their class play “The Curious Savage,” in which Dinah Davis had the lead as Mrs. Ethel P. Savage, and the senior dramatics class presented the “The Shepard’s Candle” at Christmas. After Christmas the activities came like wild fire, one right after the other. There were: the Senior Scholarship Test in which Shirley Hick- man placed first in Fayette County; the Sunburst Staff worked overtime to meet their deadline; the dramatics group presented their Thespian Play, “You Can’t Take It With You,” the noisiest and the greatest play ever presented in Wash- ington C. H. As the period progressed, the Senior Party; the Band Concert; the Junior-Senior Prom; the Senior Assembly; and Class Night brought us closer and closer to graduation. There was a sentimental feeling with each of these big events. They were the greatest moments of our lives. We had “fought the good fight” and won, leaving our banners waving proudly. Yes, we honor you, Washington, for all you have done for us, especially, do we honor your teachers, who had taught us the key to our success—working together as a team. It is with this achievement in mind, as we say goodbye, that we go forth into the world to win another game—the game of life.

CLASS PROPHECY Classmates of “53”, parents, friends and relatives. We are all met this eve- ning for a rather happy, yet sad occasion. Though I was not born with prophetic wisdom, I am here to tell you of my experience the other day. I was peering into my crystal ball and I was seeing strange things in the future. I shall proceed to tell what I saw. I was coming from the Art School in Cincinnati, when I saw a helicopter parked at the corner. Hoping to take a ride, I ran to see who it was. Who do you suppose? Our pilot ESTHER MARTING. She was going around the world and so I went with her. On our way we stopped in Washington Court House to bid farewell to our friends. First we stopped at NANCY JAMES’ dancing school and we noticed an alert young man in the corner. It was her accountant, JACK ALKIRE. There we noticed a group of young ones straining away with the assis- tant teacher KEMP ALLEMANG. And who do you suppose was “banging” away at the piano? JO ANN BOCK. Well, we decided to leave them to their hardships so we went on. We stepped outside and climbed into the helicopter, which was parked on top of a car. We saw a bewildered policeman trying to figure out whether to give us a ticket or not. Do you know, this policeman was actually DON FOSTER. We managed to persuade him that we weren’t double parked. So we took off before he changed his mind. We were starting out when we saw two streaks of unknown substance race beneath us. They slowed down and we noticed it was “HOPALONG” CAROLYN WACKMAN and her horse-lovin’ buddy, JO ANN BENSON. They were riding two of their horses from Calumet Farms. They waved and galloped away. A ... Next stop was the school house. We stopped first in the principal s office. We’d heard of a new principal who’d installed soda-pop drinking fountains and candy machines in each room. That was a shock! It turned out that the prin- cipal was BOB CAMERON. Guess who his secretary was, none other than MARY LOU CRAIG. She was so busy typing away she didn’t even notice us. We learned that some new teachers had just been hired and they were changing the school system. A new elementary teacher was DINAH DAVIS. I heard she was rather rough on the little angels. In every corner of her room was found a youngster with a big dunce cap on, tch-tch! Oh, yes, and a new course entered in school was called, “The Life Span of a Horse,” taught most graciously by GENE FORD. We entered one room in which a radio was turned on and the class was attentively listening to a sports announcer. The voice was familiar. Yes, it was RICHARD McCARTY. The teacher, too, was soaking in his reports when I finally broke the trance, I saw he was my old friend JAMES HOFFMAN. Suddenly, the programs switched and a name band was playing. There was a solo trumpeter playing “Jazz Pizzicato.” The trumpeter was DAVID CRONE, world known for his crazy hot trumpet. After this room we went into what was Miss Melson’s shorthand class room. The class there was now being taught by OLLIE GROOMS. They were so busy we didn’t want to disturb them so we moved on to the library. Mrs. Scott had retired and her daughter SUE SCOTT was now in charge. She was al- most out of sight with the piles of books on her desk. Oh, and there was JACK RETTIG beside her. Guess he skipped out of his chemistry lab for a chat. We left them and out in the hall we bumped into our old friend SHIRLEY HICKMAN. She was the well-known kindergarten teacher. We were getting ready to leave when we glanced into the auditorium. There was a farmers’ convention going on We saw many familiar faces: JIM PERRILL, JOHN SCOTT, DONALD BLESS- ING, JR. ARNOLD, NEAL CHILDRESS, JACK ENGLISH and CHARLES HOL- BROOK. Golly, the farmers are really in business! And there was MALCOLM WILT, RICHARD WILT and WILLARD COIL. Guess the Washington C. H. dis- trict will never lack farmers. Our last stop in the High School was the Mechanic’s Building. There we saw GEORGE PHILLIPS, NORMAN BAUGHN and HOW- AHD GARDNER trying to perfect a new rocket model. Then outside, the student drivers’ car pulled up. Do you know who was teaching driving? ALICE BAUGHN. She was having difficulties I could see. Our tour of the school was ended so my pilot and I decided to take off again for the down-town district. We almost hit the corner of Gossard’s when a young fellow came rushing out and was going to sue us until he noticed we had been school mates. He was JON CLARK PENSYL. He’s taken over the jewelry busi- ness now. So on we went. Hey! What’s that down there on the Court House lawn? It looks like a political convention. Yes, sir, it is and there’s JIM MOATS giving a fast campaign speech. On down the street we went. On the corner of the Sohio station, we saw another Washington alumnus filling some tires. It was MERRILL MAY in his own Service Station. We landed to get some gas for the helicopter and decided we were hungry, so we skipped across the street to Kroger’s. There were two cashiers, JOAN STACKHOUSE and MARY LOU SHOOP adding up piles of groceries. Then the manager came up to help us. We were certainly amazed to see another Washington student in his own business. The manager was DONALD SANDERSON. Back in the corner we noticed a typist. Yes, it was CHARLOTTE SMITH. We bought our food and went over to our helicopter to turn around over Court Street. This time we were going to the hospital, remembering some girls who were headed toward a nursing career. A very fine career at that! Sure enough they were all there, MARY LU BEIHN greeted us first. She was holding a baby, because she was the hospital’s obstetrician. Back toward the back carrying a needle, ready to shoot someone a penicillin dose, was ROBERTA THEOBALD. She breezed past us. Following her came JOYCE PETITT, carrying a—well—bed pan. Oh, yes! and here comes ANN DEWS be- hind Joyce. She’s taking a chart to be written up. These girls were busy so we left the Memorial Hospital. But before we left we got to see the prominent Doc- tor, ED KORN. He was coming down the hall with his private secretary, MARY ANN WISE. We said goodbye to all these busy people and started off again. Out in the country a way, we passed over a race track where hot rods were racing down the speedway. We distinguished MARCELLA HUFF’S and CHES- TER DEAN’S hot rods breezing along. Next to the race track we saw a fighters’ training ground. There was a good looking boxer in the ring, too. It looked like —it was, DENNIS O’CONNOR! There was another pair in the other ring and they were wrestling. No! GLENN “MUSCLES” MADDUX and HOWARD “RED” BOGGS. Do you know who was training these fellows? Our champ CARL SMITH. Hope they all make out well. Flying on we stopped next in Columbus. We wanted to eat at Green Gables so we went in. We were amazed to find that KENNETH BONECUTTER, DAR- RELL BROWN and GENE ZIMMERMAN owned and operated Green Gables. This was nice because now my friends and I could get a discount. Soon we left and went on into Columbus. A huge poster caught our eye. Could it be? At a snazzy night club called “The Old Heidelberg” JIM MICHAEL was appearing. This we had to see. “Old Heidelberg” was our next stop. Leading the band we found, the incomparable DEAN WICKENSEIMER. The cat at the “crazy” we found, the incomparable DEAN WICKENSIMER. The cat at the “crazy” piano was none other than ROGER “SKIP” ALLEN. There was a mean accordian player, too, JIM ANDERSON. We wanted to stay and hear more but we had to continue on our way. Next we went to the University campus. First, we stopped in the gym to watch a women’s basketball game. The coach of this team turned out to be an- other Washington alumnus, CLAUDE SMITH. Our eyes bugged-out watching SHIRLEY COCKERILL drop them in. She was giving her guard GRACE SOUTH- WARD a good workout. Hey, the girl skipping down the floor; why, she’s BEVERLY ALLEN! Beside her, EVELYN CAMPBELL. Nice going, girls! The game was exciting but we just couldn’t stay. On the campus we met more Washington kids from the class of “53.” Five beautiful girls, SUE BARCHET. SANDY CAMPBELL, BETTY ANSCHUTZ, ROSANN HELFRICH and ANN WASHBURN, told us they were on their way to Paris, France, for a vacation. Must be nice! Maybe my pilot and I will fly over later. Next, we went inside the Student Union and around the corner we heard a familier call—“B-I-R-D!” Somebody must have seen BRADLEY BENNETT. What he was doing up here, I didn’t know. We discovered he was a professor, no less! I bet his classes were riots! The fellow with him was MIKE BIRELEY, a veterinarian now in Columbus. On through we went, hoping to see more peo- ple we knew. Then sure enough down the hall, kicking some boisterous students out, was the official bouncer of the building, JERRY CARMAN. Can you imagine who was holding the door open for him? FRANK BURRIS. He coaches swim- ming at the University. Say, Frank, who is the girls’ swimming coach? Anyone we know? Just as I expected, BEVERLY CROSSWHITE. That oughta be good! We started to leave when—heavens no! Coming down the hall was a very fa- miliar chap, HAROLD “SEARS” CUMMINGS. What do you suppose he does at Ohio State? He teaches driving—to those who didn’t take it in high school. Some “good” drivers come from here I bet! The person who helps teach driving is HOWARD SMITH. I imagine those graduates really learn a lot! We left the University and our next stop was for gas again. The owner of this elaborate filling station was FRED DUNCAN. While passing time we went into a drugstore across the street to read a news- paper. The owner was actually CRAIG ROCKHOLD. We picked up the COLUM- BUS SUN SHINE. On the front page we found a big article about a young lady poet coming into the lime lights. She was ELAINE EVANS. Another Shakespeare! Then we caught another interesting article about a new trio, “The Sizzle Sisters.” They had just received a contract on Arthur Godfrey’s show. Their names were familiar, SHIRLEY JOHNS, DELORES JONES and LORETTA JACKSON. Turn- ing to the society page we found DIANNE ELLIOTT, JANE WASHBURN and MARCIA STOOKEY, three lovely June brides. They looked so happy. Sighing over their lovely pictures my pilot and I glanced at an astounding article. “Miss America of 1957,” LUBERTA JINKS, Humm! The next article read. “Secretar- ies wanted, apply at the Big Business Building. Ask for the president, MARY HUFF.” Well! As my pilot folded the paper, I caught a glimpse of a face that looked familier. Why, it was MARYLIN REHM. The paper called her a female Einstein. Our helicopter was ready by this time so off we went. Suddenly, I got a toothache and we had to stop to see a dentist. What a coincidence, the dentist was JOE PROVOST, and his private nurse SHIRLEY VINCENT. Not that I didn’t trust Joe, but before I realized it, my tooth ache had disappeared. Odd, wasn’t it? We left them quickly and decided there would be no more stops in Ohio. Finally we landed in California. Immediately we started for a nice refresh- ing walk. We were delighted when we met WALTER PLYMALE. He was now en- gineer in an Atomic plant in Arizona. He even designed the plant. On down the street we saw a Western Auto Store. HOMER LEE SHELTON, owner, the sign read. My, my, he followed in his father’s footsteps. Walking on we de- cided to go into a department store and shop a little. My, goodness, they were anxious for customers. Down the aisle came six clerks all rushing our way! The clerks were CLARA MATTHEWS, MARY PAUL, MARY PETTY, BARBARA RAY- BURN, WILMA SALYER and MARY LOU RILEY. They nearly trampled us, but we got away! Whew! It was a close call! Outside we saw an Artist sitting on the corner drawing cartoons. It was BILL THOMAS. We didn’t disturb him. Suddenly, a delicious scent entered our nostrils. Dough-nuts we discovered. Yes, sir, around the corner we found BOB ALKIRE’S bakery. Customers were lined up for blocks. Out in front was ROBERT STEINMETZ handing out sam- ples. Slurp! Same Alkire quality. On down the street we spied a cute little shop. BETTY ROBERT’S Beauty Shoppe. Her dream came true. Lana Tur- ner was getting her hair set. One of Betty’s helpers was a man—oh, no, it was HAROLD “CURLY” SMITH. Charming! Two other beauticians were MARY WRIGHT and FRANCES WILSON. But wait, what was this on the corner? A minister giving a sermon? It was PETE SWENGEL following his dad’s footsteps. Our next stop was a neat-looking hotel. We decided to go in and relax a minute. Who do you imagine the manager was? JERRY DUNTON. Then we saw CHARLES DEERING. We asked what he was doing these days. He told us he and Jerry owned a chain of hotels in California. Nice! Another of out- buddies in Washington, CAROLYN DRAY, was in the lobby. She snubbed us. We later discovered she was now a movie star. Oh, dear! Back to the helicopter we went. Down the street we noticed a line of young men a block long, leading to the Naval recruiting station. I heard men can’t resist the recruiting officer here. No wonder they can’t resist; its WAYNE VAN METER. At the door there was a mean-looking sergeant; and can you imagine, he was JERRY WARNER. Just then we heard a loud clanking noise, sounding like scrap metal being unloaded. The noise came from a lot across the street. We looked and saw DICK WATERS, who was bringing in a lot of scrap metal. Oh, no, no, Dick! That’s our helicopter, you can’t have that! Whew! We almost saw the end of our helicopter then. We’d decided to leave before anything else happened. Our trip had been excit- ing all right. But, do you know, just then my trance was broken, the crystal ball was fading out, and my nice little dream was all over. IMIlHlifiMIUi! iHIYftM
