'KK ng The annual Homecoming Game was held on December 15. Janet Soelmann, the retiring queen, graciously presented her crown to another member of our class, Neoma Petrosky. They chose as their escorts Tommy Kuck and Bob Boyer, respec- tively. May 22 was the day all juniors and seniors had looked forward to, the Junior- Senior Prom. This was a very wonderful affair which took quite a lot of work on the Junior's part, but we were proud of the results. As May rolled by we completed another year. But we could look forward to coming back in September as Dignified Seniors . In September we started our senior, and the final year of our high school career. Our class consisted of 29 pupils, and our sponsor was Mr. Luther E. Fogt. Our class officers chosen were: President, Bob Naseman, Vice President John Ratermang Secretary, Joan Kahg Treasurer, Julia Schilling, Student Council, Myrtle Seigle and Charles Elsass. The Homecoming Game was held January 18. Again the queen was chosen from our Senior Class. Irva Hawkins, Queen, chose as her escort Bob Westerbeck, and retiring Queen, Neoma, chose Bob Naseman as her escort. On May 8 we gave the Senior Play. We enjoyed the Junior-Senior Prom which was given in our honor. On May 25 Baccalaureate was held, and on May 26 we received our diplomas at Commencement. Our high school career was ended, but we knew we would never forget Anna High. ,2 gj Alf N PROPHECY Well, having worked for 15 years, we finally got enough dough together to take our long-awaited trip. Little did we know the outcome. Where to go? Natch, to that ever-growing city of Anna! Having saved and saved, we decided to splurge this once and so chartered the new 1970 Fly-by-Sky plane, since it was the very latest! ! For those in the dark, it was just constructed by Neoma Petrosky, that famous scientific inventor. fHer schemes were bound to get her somewherej. Packed and all ready, we boarded early in order to chat with the pilot and co- pilot. 1AhemmJ. They turned out to be Wilbur Wiley and Leo Thaman, falways up in the air over something.J Seeing this, we nearly decided to go by train but decided to take the risk. And so ---- we were off! So shortly, we saw a brilliant looking thing sitting alone and decided to keep her company. What a shock! It was Ann Sayre, superintendent of the new Wester- beck School of Music , started by Robert Westerbeck, this yelling made him famous! ! Back to Ann, she had just come from Washington where she, always interested in the government, had had a conference with the Congressmen, Harold Elsass, and Ernie Heintz about her new Sayre Theory, which was supposed to be as good as Finstein's. Having chatted awhile, we rang for the hostesses, who turned out to be Bonnie Flinn and Mildred Leiss. They informed us that we were just coming into Anna, so we looked out, and --- oh --- what a metropolis! It sure had grown. SHANK SHOE CO. Sidney, Ohio
