the best man, Mr. Rich, and the Rev. Virgil Moser, who is going to read the obituary, (pardon us, we mean the marriage vows) . Virgil has changed his ways and looks very nice in white tie and tails. All heads are turned to the rear of the barn (I mean the church) where the brides- maid Miss Elberta Warthman is entering. She owns a dress shop in New York. The gowns f or this wedding were purchased there. Following her comes the matron of honor, Jane Baltzell, who was the fastest female entry to the Olympic Track Meet in London this year. They are gowned in rayon tafetta dresses of fire-engine red with purple velvet headbands and mitts. They are carrying bouquets of dandelions. Every eye is glued to the back of the room where Grace Fisher, the bride, is enter- ing. She is gowned in a satin dress of green. She wanted a colorful wedding and one that was different, and, brother, this one sure is. We take notice of her gown and find that it is styled with an off-the-shoulder effect and long sleeves, coming to points at her elbows. The tight skirt was adorned with large patch pockets in front and a frilly bustle in the rear. Her full length dress ended in a foot and a half long train. The ceremony is now over and we leave for their reception which will be held in their two-room log home. Here we find Audrey Burkhead, who writes advice for the lovelorn in many newspapers, and Alice Bieneke, who is teaching school in the Home Economics Department of South Side High School in Fort Wayne. She decided that all men are cruel and is going to be an old maid. They are serving the bridal cake and punch to all guests. Looking across the room, we see the group of the greatest sportsmen of the year. They are from the great game of professional basketball. Coach Jim Arnold of the Min- neapolis Lakers and Glenn Rowdon, coach of the Zollner Pistons are conferring with their ace stars, Jim Ehrsam, guard for the Lakers, and Bill Lehman, six foot eleven center of the Pistons. Bill liked basketball and took thirty bottles of vitamin pills and grow tall tablets and grew. Dick Baumgartner strolls over to meet us with a big smile on his face. When asked what he is doing in life, he replied, I am a jewel salesman. I ' m carrying some of the most expensive and heaviest jewels in the country. Tagging along behind is Albert Teeple, Junior, who is now called Big Al. After having played the part of detective in the senior class play, he decided to take the job of being Dick ' s bodyguard. Bob Heller has a surprise for us. He takes us to the door and says, Look! Sitting in front of all the other cars, we see a new 1956 Ford. Some of our dear fellow classmates are now coming toward us. Bruce Schnepp, the owner of the real wild west rodeo, has a large bandage on one eye. When asked what happened, Bruce, in western boots and git up, said he was trying to rope a calf. The calf turned around and glared. The light in the calf ' s eye killed the horse and tem- porarily blinded Bruce in one eye. Looking through the group we find Virgil Gerber and Glen Strahm. When asked how life is treating them, they replied, Pretty well. Although after six years of trying, Oscar is still hiding from us. They started hunting for Oscar, the Beast of Busco, after graduating and they ' re still hunting. What are they using for bait? It ' s a female turtle weighing twenty pounds. Of the class of 1950 there are members we can ' t seem to find at all. We inquire and are told they are out on the lawn. Leaving the house we find the two hard at work. They are Roger Kuhn and Robert Dick, practicing their exercises. Roger decided that there are not enough graceful people in the world, opened n ballet school and has been giving lessons to some of the most prominent society in India na. Bob, whose physique looked like a(i hour glass with all of the sand in the mid- dle, is taking lessons to develop his muscles and get rid of the unbecoming flabby stuff. Well, the reception is over and we must depart! It ' s certainly been nice seeing all of the old friends we used to know. It just goes to show what drastic changes can come about after six years.

JOLLY JUNIORS At last we obtained the honor of being called jun- iors. Miss Harriet Schertz and Mr. Wilbert Lightle were appointed as our class sponsors. During the year we worked hard trying to make money for the class. At the beginning of the season, we sold magazines, with Mary Baumgartner selling the largest amount. At noon hours we sold candy. We also sold Christmas and everyday greeting cards. The main event of the year was the presentation of our class play, The Brain Storm in March. In February we enjoyed a class party at the C. C. Camp. Dennis Norman was the game leader. We are looking forward with great anticipation to the time when we will make history as seniors at A. C. H. S.
