CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1949, thirty-five wide-eyed freshmen entered the portals of Waynesfield High School. The officers we elected were: Larry Wilson- Presidentg Fred Taylor-Vice Presidentg Loretta Weygandt-Secretary, Vaude Guthrie-Treasurer, Harry Dulebohn-Reporter, and Ann Fullerton -Student Council. We had several parties during the year and we were well represented in many activities. In 1950, having lost three members over the summer vacation, thirty- two wild and woolly sophomores invaded Wayne High. The officers we elected to represent us were, Gary Price-President, Ann Fullerton-Vice- President, Elaine Shook-Secretaryg Tom Bault-Treasurerg Loretta Wey- gandt-Student Council, and Charles Hastings-Reporter. We were again very well represented in activities, with members on the varsity of both gootgall and basketball teams. We were also active in dramatics, chorus, an , etc. Thirty cocky juniors returned to Waynesfield in 1951. Immediately the officers and the annual staff were elected. We chose: Ralph Gratz-Presi- dentg Loretta Weygandt-Vice President, Larry Wilson-Secretary, Elaine Shook-Treasurerg Barbara Wreede-Student Council, and Richard Lhamon -Reporter. To oversee the yearbook we chose: Elaine Shook-Editor, Larry Wilson-Assistant Editor, Loretta Weygandt-Business Manager, Gary Price-Assistant Business Manager, and Carol Turner-Treasurer. We established our acting ability by the three-act comedy Men Are Like Street- cars , by Anne Coulter Martins, which was our class play. Our leadership was also shown in other extra curricular activities. After a short vacation, so it seemed, thirty-dignified seniors returned to Wayne High for their busiest year yet. After losing one student to Lake- view School, twenty-nine hopeful aspirants eyed the long march down gradu- ation-road. We elected Ralph Gratz-President, Elaine Shook-Vice President, Gerald Spencer-Secretary, Loretta Weygandt-Treasurer, Harry Dulebohn and Patricia Resh-Reporters, and Ann Fullerton and Fred Taylor -Student Council. The senior class makes its presence felt throughout the school in many ways. There is never a dull day with invitations to order, the class play to prepare and present, caps and gowns to fit and order, pictures to distribute, plans to make for our trip to New York and Washington, and, of course, working to meet the expenses of these various projects. We hope this history of the class of '53 will bring to mind memories of the four momentous years of our lives and of the unforgettable days at our Alma Mater, Waynesfield High School.

CLASS PROPHECY As I was walking through my garden this morning I saw several gophers. As this is not the first time I've seen the same gophers I determined to buy a gopher trap. I bought a trap, then called a cab to take me home from the local hardware store, owned by one of our former classmates, Gilbert Byers. The cab came driving up in quite a hurry and stopped with a flourish of gravel, and I wasn't surprised to see that another of my former classmates drove the cab. It was none other than Charles Hastings. As the glass wall separated Charles and me we couldnit talk much, so I just settled back with my gopher trap and relaxed. I peeked on the window be- tween the seats and motioned for the radiovision to be turned on. As it came on, I saw Willard Cummings, singing with the accompaniment of Ann Fullerton at the piano, assisted by Ann's all girl orchestra. They finished with a great amount of applause and did several encores. Neither one had changed much since our graduation. So intent was I on the program that I heard the snap of the trap and realized with real horror that my hand was fast in it. I motioned the driver to stop and, after looking, we both decided we'd better have a doctor take it off. We headed post haste for the nearest hospital. I was quickly led to a doctor, with a white coat and a gray goatee. I barely recognized Larry Wilson. Larry clapped his hands and a nurse fwithout a mustachel appeared. It happened to be Barbara Wreede, who assisted him in removing the trap from mv hand. While I waited, Larry and Barbara were in position to give me details on several other of my class- mates connected with the hospital. It seemed janet Newland was not only a graduate nurse but also head dietitian at the hospital. They allowed me to see Janet, but she was too busy bossing a man delivering milk, jim Gray, who I later learned had a huge herd of Brown Swiss, to talk to me. As I was watching operations, a grocery man came delivering a large order. I instantly recognized Donald Bowman, a man who certainly should know the business from the ground up. Hurrying out of the hospital I ran into, of all people, Carol Turner and Elaine Shook. They had come to visit Carol's husband who had been kicked in the leg by a cow. Carol is a farmer's wife and is happily raising her 7 children to be farmers, too. Elaine, on the other hand, is one of the most successful secretaries in business. Elaine is engaged to a man with a red Chevy sedan. Quite a change.: I chatted with the girls awhile, but I notice Elaine looking at her watch. She explained that there was an important television program following. I thought I might as well watch it too. The program was announced by Ralph Gratz, a news commentator living in Columbus. He was introducing a team of Lady Wrestlers. After looking closely, I saw one of them was Lois Ann Coates. Her hair is still long and she wears orange tights and a green shirt. Her stage name is Lovely Lucy. We left the T V set on for the next program and was rewarded by seeing a Home Economics program which was being run by none other than Patricia Resh. As they flashed the cameras through the audience I saw a face that looked just like Shirley Bertrand's. It was and beside her sat Vaude Guthrie. Carol knew all about them. She said they were both quite interested in Home Economics as they were married and had families. I also learned that they always said it was their birthdays so they could sit in the front row. Talking about the old days after the program, I was surprised to hear that there were only two of our number who weren't now married. Gary Price, quite the gay blade, who has been engaged 12 times, and Hazel Ferree, the town beautician, who is now engaged to a traveling salesman. Brought to mind by the salesman, we learned that Doyle Price is now a salesman for basketball equipment, probably brought about by his widespread fame when he played for Waynesfield. However, red-haired Doyle, Jr. is carrying on the family tradition, being carefully watched by head coach Fred Taylor at Wayne Hi. Fred played on several professional teams before he settled down to coaching the home team. Still on the topic of sports, we girls decided to go out for lunch. The woman who waited on us was Louise Maurer who owned the restaurant with her husband. She brought our lunch and joined us. Louise was able to add much to our memoirs by telling us about Richard Lhamon who only recently had retired from playing on a football team in California. She said Rich was coming back to Waynesfield and show Good Old Wayne High a few tricks. As we were sitting there, we heard the jukebox play- ing and guess who put the nickel in. It was Good Old Jack Bair. Jack is married and lives on a farm. Today he had driven into town bringing with him Shirley Coolidge. Shirley gets to come to the city so seldom owing to the confinement of her work. Shirley is Waynesfieldis best dressmaker. Jack and Shirley also joined us and Jack played another song. This time it was Deep Purple which has been making a big come- back in the recent months. The label on the box pro- claimed the record to be the latest one by Loretta Wey- gandt, rage of the stage, who had only recently begun to record her piano Concertos. Formerly Loretta appeared at the Met. and other famous opera houses. It was getting late and we were preparing to leave, but the man changing the records on the jukebox proved to be Donald Dawson. We talked to Donald awhile, found he liked his work very much, and finally lit out for home. Driving home later that evening, as if I hadn't had enough trouble, my old car conked out. I hiked dis- mally to the nearest farmhouse. The door was opened by Gerald Spencer, in carpet slippers, smoking a pipe. He has a large farm outside of town, raising corn and cattle. He told me I could call Junior Dulebohn's garage and get towed home. Junior soon came and took me and the car home. Home and back to my business of running Waynesfield's only drug store and pharmacy.
