( iadd lAJiU The other day as I was walking through the hall I saw a sheet of paper on the floor. I went over and picked it up and opening it I read: As Seniors of the Adams Central High School, we are obligated to leave behind certain treasures that were willed to us. To the fortunate students and faculty we leave the following: To the Juniors, we will the opportunity to be such well behaved and well -liked Seniors as we have been.

C iadJ LJffi icerd President - David Nussbaum Vice-President - Mary E. Byerly Secretary - Anna Inniger Treasurer - Fannie Habegger Class Sponsor - Harvey Haggard C-eaJd J idtoti As freshmen, there were 30 students enrolled in Monroe and 16 enrolled in Kirkland. That was the year they got the idea of - ' consol- idating into one school. When we came back to Adams Central as sophomores, we felt really proud because we were no longer green freshmen. One of the first things we did was to hold the election of officers. The following officers were elected: President, Dave Nussbaum; Vice-President, Doyle Arnold; Secy, and Treas., Millard Habegger. To give our class treasury a boost, we decided to sell pop at noons during the first semester. vVe enjoyed a class party which was held at the C.C.C. Camp at Bluffton. Now recognized as juniors, we came back to try our luck for another year. Roe Lehman was elected as President, Dave Nussbaum as Vice-President, Millard Habegger as Secretary, and Doyle Arnold as Treasurer. Mrs. Reed was our class sponsor. To raise money for our class treasury, we sold magazines, all- occasion cards and Christmas cards, and sponsored the Dixie Four. All the projects were very successful. During the year, we enjoyed two class parties and also spon- sored a school skating party at Ft. Wayne. In March, Miss Preston directed our class play, Off the Track. We re-entered school as Big Seniors and looked forward to achieve our goal. Thirty -five students were enrolled in this senior class. We chose the following class officers: Dave Nussbaum, Presi- dent; Mary Ellen Byerly, Vice-President; Anna Inniger, Secretary; Fannie Habegger, Treasurer. The class chose Harve Haggard as our class sponsor. To make money for our senior trip, we again sold magazines and sponsored the Dixie Four. These proved to be a big success. We also sold concessions at ballgames. On November 2 we presented the senior play, Love Your Neighbor. The senior class chose the red rose as its class flower. The class colors chosen were maroon and silver and the class motto chosen was Backward never, forward ever. We plan to leave on our senio r trip May 10. The baccalaureate service is to be held May 18 and Commencement on May 20. And now as we say GOOD -BY to our school days we realize we are saying HELLO to the world and going to see what we can achieve. Compliments of CENTRAL DAIRY, Grade A Dairy Products, 230 W.

Time marches on and as we travel across the nation and the world, we find that people also march on! ! We find the graduated class of 1952 scattered all over the globe! In order to glimpse the activities of our illustrious Seniors, let ' s go on a trip. The year is 1970. As we drive through the city of Decatur, we stop to chat with Doctor Roe Lehman who has become the leading psychiatrist in Adams County. He surely has a swank office. As we come out of his office we run into Bob Mitchel who has just had his first novel printed. He remarks that it ' s the best thing since The Egg and I, and is already on the best seller list. He is making his home on his farm near Decatur for a few weeks; however his offices are in Chicago. We ask him to direct us to a good eating place and he advises us to dine at Bob ' s Hash House. After finishing our meal we are introduced to the head chef and we find that it is none other than our own Bob Shaw. Continuing our trip we pass through the large city of Rainsville, Indiana, which has a population of 400. Here we meet the ' ' World ' s Champion Knitter of 1970 --Lester Schindler. Lester tells us that he is now employing his knitting skills to make articles for his own store here. Leaving Rainsville, we make our next stop at Indianapolis. Here we visit a radio show, Miss Pauline Schwartz ' s, Getting Married and Staying That Way. She tells us that her advice to all the lovelorn reaches millions of listeners daily. Leaving the studio, we drive to the outskirts of Indianapolis and we see signs advertising the best honey and honey bees. We inquired and found that it was no one but Earl Yoder who is doing a thriving business raising honeybees. Yep! They helped him win his bride too! We were quite tired after our stay in Indianapolis and found the wide open spaces of Texas much to our liking. You see, we are being entertained as guests on a two-thousand- acre ranch owned by Lester Schwartz and Sally Ross, now Lester ' s wife. They comment that ranch life is very healthful for their five children. Then in order to get a touch of sunny California, we journey lo Santa Cruz where we drop in at the neat beauty salon owned by Mary Ellen Schnepp, who is responsible for a new hairdo known as the ringlet cut. Her favorite pastime, of all things, is flying her privately owned sabre jet airplane. From Miss Schnepp ' s fashionable shop we make a phone call to Hollywood. Our call is answered by Actor John Liby, now playing the role of an Arab Chief in his latest movie, The Great Sheik. Driving up the coast we stop at the University of Southern California in Berkeley, where we visit with P rofessor David Nussbaum. He ' s the mathematics and science instructor here. But he still finds time for an occasional ride on his bicycle built for two. Cutting across from Berkeley on our way back to Chicago we retire for the night at a hotel in Salt Lake City, Utah. Here we meet salesman Don Walters who is really a success selling get thin tablets and blond, curly wigs for the men with shiny foreheads. After leaving Don we arrive in Chicago to be greeted by a new innovation of Bud Cook ' s -- the mural decorations on the first floor of the Merchandise Mart. The rumor that this original piece of art has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize is ascertained by Bud himself. 1
