CLASS HI TORY The opening day of school in September of 1941 was a joyous and hilarious one for the seventy happy faced pupils who- started school activities. They were as follows: Jane Charla Austin Leslie Albright Barbara Bodie Charles Kilmer Ruth Bowerman Lou Ann Christoffel Laura May Dannells Phyllis Dolph Charles Ewers Marcie Ann Fee Joanne Fowler Larry Harman David Barger Herbert Amstutz Ira Bartlow, Jr. Tony Cather Frances Cimbal Thomas Cline Lloyd Easterday Bill Eberhart Marchia Fisher Clyde Foster Garna Lee Golden Jane Hoover Wendell Horn Norma Hutchins Gordon Kope Sharon Lampman Beverly Leas John Morris Danny Patterson Norma Richardson Rachel Ruby Shirley Joan Ruth Bernie Smith Edward Rakestraw Marcia Grabill Larry Hagewood Margaret Hughes Mary Etta Hughes Sylvia Jackson Larry Klink Larry Kunkel Stephen Maloy Spencer Myers Stanley Smith Our freshman year there were forty-nine greenies trooping through the halls, starting the busy activity of being high school students. By the time we were sophomores we gleefully waited for the freshman initiation with all sorts of pranks in store for the greenies. LaMarr Stroh James Tidbeaux Oshel Ward Mattie Marlene Wisner Robert Wolfe Robert Worthington Jack Nelson Phyllis Richardson Bobbie Porter Jimmie Porter Marilynn Van Wagner Ethel Fowler Thomas Ott Richard Reichen- bacher Joyce Rinehart Betty Ritter James Rodebaugh Natomi Shaffer Peg Williamson Florence Brade Evelyn Henderson Bonnie Lou Boyle We considered ourselves upperclassmen in our junior year. Last year was a busy and a prosperous one for us. The junior magazine campaign brought us a trophy for high sales. The concession stand added a lot to our daily activities. Our junior class play, Our Miss Brooks, was a big hit. The high light of the year was the class tourney, which we won. This year is the last year for the class of 1953. It will long be remembered by the forty-four seniors who graduate this May 29. -SHIRLEY RUTH BILL EBERHART JAMES MONROE Page Twenty seven

CLASS PRUPHECY The year is 1963. We, Frances Cimbal, journalist,and Barbara Bodie, fastest lino- typist in the world, are on our way out to Bledsoes for our class reunion which is in honor of Howard Feldmann, our class sponsor in high school. In case you don't re- member, this is the class of '53. For this gala occasion, Stanley Smith has designed and built his new Bombsmobile especially for us to ride in. Arriving at Bledsoes, we are welcomed by the master of ceremonies, Bill Eber- hart. A blare of jazz music coming from the bandstand interrupts us. As we ap- proach the dance floor we find it is none other then Larry Kunkel and his musical Firehouse Three Plus Two. These world famous musicians include Joyce Clark, trombone, Tony Cather, cornetg and Shirley Dixon, pianist. Larry is also featured on the drums. America's number one singer, Garna Golden, has come all the way from California to sing with Larry's band on this great occasion. Standing next to us is Sylvia Jackson, WKZO-TV's new T-V director and news commentator, trying to get Larry Kunkel's band an audition on Jim Rodebaugh's Gamble of a Lifetime show. As we walk to the miniature golf course we see four of our classmates practicing for the World's Championship Golf Tournament. Larry Harman and Wendell Horn are competing against Danny Patterson and Don Hintz in this game. As we leave the golf course, our attention is immediately directed toward the water where a shrill scream is coming from a helpless, floundering damsel. Lifeguard, Jim Crouch, bravely plunges into the water to save her. After he rescues her, we find she is Marshall Field's top model, Nancy Barr. With his medicine kit, Tom Cline rushes to the scene to revive the victim and Marilynn Van Wagner, registered nurse, is there to help. Bill Foutz is on the spot with his camera to take pictures for the An- gola Associated Press and Herbert Amstutz can write up the account for the New York Times. Tom Cline now has his own hospital and Sharon Lampman is the dieti- tion on his staff with Linda Kepner as head laboratory technician. In a case of death, Larry Klink and his assistants, Jim Austin and Lloyd Easterday, are called upon to re- move the body and take it to Klink's Mortuary where Larry applies his new scientific system of embalming.
