Q CLASS HISTORY plcslclcm ,,..,.,,,,,,,.,,,, ,,,,,A, Robert Peters Secretary-Treasurer .......... .... W illiam Lees When the Iunior Class first entered Apollo High School as lowly Freshmen, they seemed to have everything that goes into the formula for making a successful class-intellectual abil- ity, some inventive spirit, athletic material-a little of everything except, maybe, a meek and humble attitude. As soon as their Freshman initiation was over, they started initiating the rest of the school into the mysteries of their future plans-a year- book about the size of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary . . . at least ten valedictorians at Commencement . . . no less than Benny Good- man for the Senior Prom. This class soon became noted for its drug- store huddles . . . dues on the last day of school . . . the Basketball Team, Inc .... increasing demand for raise in wages ffrom C's and D's to A's and B'sl . . . lack of class meetings . . . a bake sale . . . big football players ialso goodl . . . fads . . . record collectors . . . caviar for the Senior Banquet iif someone leaves them a fortunel . . . the Iunior Girls' Gold Basketball Team . . . inseparable pals Damon Bill Lees and Pythias Skip Miller . . . cheerleaders ihalf of the squad? . . . the only fraternity in school itheir mark of distinction being plaid skirts, until the rest of the school adopted the garb, tool . . . well-exercised vocal chords ifor bath singing and talking: both in and out of schooll . . . active club members . . . the unit of wit of lack Townsend stag parties . . . the McMillen bus-line . . . struggling mathemati- cians iaspiring engineersl . . . the get up and go of Lois Ann Armitage . . . Alma Mater authors. From all appearances, this class will leave the school something to remember it by-it might be anything from a swimming pool to just a headache. This class's day begins next year. and at least, it is going to the unusual side!

CLASS PROPHECY Good night, folks, I think l'll be going to bed. My, what a comfortable place to lay. If I could just get to sleep. Maybe if I counted sheep it would help. l-2-3-4-5 and far into the night. 15,981-15,982-15,983 --------- ZZZZZZZZ ..Oh!n Hello there. From where did you come? My name is Mr. Time. l'm from the Land of the Future. If there is anything you would like to know, just ask me. Well, Mr. Time. I would like to see my classmates twenty-five years from now. Alright, come with me. Watch your step, we're going into space. Look out!! We're go- ing to land!! A'Oh, Mr. Time! What's the name of this large modern city? Such modern buildings. This, my boy, is Apollo. The year is 1967. Come and we'll have a look around. This street here is among the main residen- tial sections-Armstrong Avenue. That beau- tiful house is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Galen Cunningham. The former Thelma Shaffer is his wife. They own several of the farms around Apollo too. Let's take a look into the barber shop, Mr. Time. Who owns it? The proprietor is Gallagher. That's he cutting August Froncek's hair. August works in the Apollo Steel Co. The boy sweeping the floor is Os Shoemaker's boy. Os, as you used to call him, owns the local theatres. Yes, ticket- seller is Helen Klingensmithf' Who are those people in front of the pool- room? The one with the cigar is joe Miller. He's working on a farm. The man beside him is Dick Smith. He and William Steele run a joint hardware store. This modern theater is certainly swell. Let's have a look around. Anne Moore and Tobert Raylor in 'AA South Sea Island . Sounds like a good picture. Anne Moore was your class- mate also. She and Maxine I. Nulph are both in Hollywood. A talent scout saw their per- formance in What a Life . Who owns that dress shop, Mr. Time? lt's owned by Z. M. Beck. She never was married. Certainly had the chances, though. Charlie Valco, Apollo's oldest bachelor, used to date her. He even dated her in '42, if you re- member. That lady buying the hat is Alberta Lasher. The one holding the dress is Sylvia Rosensteelf' So this is the same bank that was here in 1942? It certainly looks old. 'AYes, it is. Mary Iarnison is the cashier. The man counting the bills is Blair Duff. That man depositing all the money is Mary's hus- band, Roy Gourleyf' That man with the tin-cup is Cactus Lo- baugh. He had a lot of oil stock in Oklahoma. but the wells went dry. He's down and out now. Were any of my classmates affected by the war, Mr. Time? MYes, several. Ruth King enlisted as a nurse in China during the war and got a badge for heroism. Now that the war is over, she is the head of a large hospital in New York. Three of your classmates were wounded in action. Dale Schrecengost was wounded in ac- tion in India. john Hilty, while engaged with the enemy air force. Robert Day was wounded in northern France. He had several medals for heroism and workmanship. A'That music shop is owned by Robert Stur- geon. That's he playing the piano with Mary Smith: she works there. Ament jackson is now the head of the Ein- stein Academy in Albany. He's a high-rank- ing genius. His secretary is Lucille Ramale. She was also a classmate of yours. l'Mary A. Hildebrand operates the newspa- per office. She continued her father's good work on the Sentinel. It now has a circulation of three thousand. That man at the desk is Robert Lobaugh. He's the sports editor of her paper. Some of your classmates aren't around Apollo any more. julia Gigolotti is a radio comedian: she is sponsored by the new product. 'AStretcho. It was invented by Dominick Bertin- lino in the Dupont Laboratory. Clarence Neal is a football coach at Citadel. He and Dominick both got scholarships for Citadel for their foot- ball playing in l942. Could you please tell me what I'll be doing in l967? Yes, son, l will. Your going to be--- Wake up, Tom: it's 8:30. You're going to be late for school. Hurry, now. All right, mother, l'm coming. Darn itll Now l'll never know what's to become of mel
