'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

Having landed, tsafely too! ll we decided to rest up awhile. So we tried to find a nice hotel, and finally decided to plant ourselves at the best, which was the Inderriden Inn run by Robert Inderrieden. It was simply teeming with cele- brities, who were welcoming Dave Counts home from his hunting expedition in the under growths of Africa. As we were trying to enter, we noticed bobby soxers oohing and aahing and decided to investigate. Were we ever surprised! In the midst of them was John Boyer! Yes, he made the movies! His manager, Howard Roediger, was there also, trying in vain, to quiet the crowd. We, always giddy, got Mr. Boyer's autograph and stumbled on. After shining up, we sat down to rest awhile QOoh, our dogs! ll Then we noticed a distinguished looking man peering mysteriously at different people. Being inquisitive, we asked him for his reason for doing such and found out he was Louis Christman, a private hotel detective from the Sneaky Detective Agency, which wasn't doing too good, because their best detective, Mary Hulsmeyer, had run off to get married and they couldn't find anyone good enough to replace her. While reading that world famous newspaper, the Grieves Gazette, published by Clifford Grieves, the famous editor, we were startled to see the headlines which informed us that Caroline Gritzmaker was confined to the hospital which was built by the great architect, Frank Counts. Caroline was suffering from shock after trying to land a space ship on Mars. Her assistant, Mary Grilliot was carry- ing out her plans by taking the new Gritzmaker to Venus. Part of our sight seeing tour took us to the Hawkin's Hospital, financed by Irva Hawkins who became a millionaire overnight with her new super mud pack, which keeps you looking young forever. Venturing inside we were swept away by the janitor sweeping the lobby, and low and behold there was Ronald Zook working himself to the bone for his wife and children at home. There we found Joan Kah serving as superintendent of nurses. After a short visit with Caroline we con- tinued our tour. The next stop was at the monument, which was erected in honor of Chuck Elsass, for his faithful baby sitting service that he rendered to the city. We were privileged in hearing one of Julia Schilling's campaign speeches with which she hopes to gain the title of President of the Talkers Association. In the evening we attended the world premiere of The Seigle Story, portraying the life of Myrtle Seigle, the first woman All-American. We chatted briefly with Robert Naseman, who is now the private hair dresser of .Tanet Soelmann, since she gained millions with her chemical that changes the gold in fish to variegated colors. Stepping on to the street, we were approached by John Raterman patiently waiting to take us to Martha's Blue Room in his Raterman Rover, the baby size Crosby convertible. The Blue Room, Anna's most prominent restaurant, is owned and operated by Martha Fogt, doing very nicely as the hostess of this vast business. With the satisfaction that the class of 52 has been very successful in its post-graduate work and life, we snuggled down in our bed thinking our long- awaited trip had been worth while.
