CLASS HISTGRY In 1944, we the Seniors of 1956, started our daring climb in the submarine, The Waynette Our aim was the height of Above and Beyond Success. Enthusiastically we started from the vivid colored floor of the roaring ocean. Our small but willing crew consisted of the following: Leland Mote, Phyllis Williamson, Raymond Turner, Joan Powers, Virginia Mangas, Sally Eley, Peggy Welsh, Ben McKnight, and last, but far from least, Bill Wasson. Our first stop was the breath-taking city of Seafoam. There we obtained three students for the second year. First was our robust and rowdy, Dick Wantz, who came for West Sideg then was Kent Peacock, who was tall and stout, hailing McKinley, last was Ardella Grindle, whom we found to be very lively and yet dainty. She came from Jackson, Indiana. At the next port, which is called Bluewater, we stopped for fuel. There while we waited, a new member joined our crew. Her name was Wanda Moore and she came from Richmond, Indiana. She entered in the fourth year. She seemed to be very talkative and quick tempered. We were all disappointed when Peggy went for a swim and failed to return. We soon found out that she had found her way to Green Township in another part of our underwater county, during our fifth year. She enjoyed her trip but seemed very glad to be returning to our crew in our freshman year. While gone, she added many inches to her height and gained a cure sneeze. When we reached the top of the ocean we were just halfway toward our aim. We immed- iately saw a row boat with three persons aboard. First was a dashing young lad by the name of Gary Ketron. Next was dark-haired and brown eyed Betty Welsh, and last was Floyd Whistler, who was short and full of laughter. Whether or not we make it to Above or Beyond Success is now up to us. The sky is the limit. Wayne has done its best to help us in our perilous flight. Now we hope that each one makes it Above and Beyond Success.
