CLASS HISTORY Entering A. H. S. as seventh graders, we pushed and plodded our way through the halls for two years, and then - we were freshmen! With the addition of new members from Elmira and Zone, we were initiated into the hallowed halls by the sophisticated sophs. Vengeance is sweet! The next year we initiated the Class of '52! We opened the eyes of the theatre lovers with our outstanding dramatic productions, FlNDERS CREEPERS and THE BABY SlTTER, in our junior year. 'So darn much fun, 'So beautiful, lf we could just do it again - remarks heard while decorating for and the night of our watery Ir.-Sr. Banquet, NEPTUNE'S COURT. lt provided the perfect ending for the year. ln the autumn of 1952, we began our last year at A. H. S., electing Richard Thomas Lauber our president. We were enchanted by the lovely and haunting BLUE HAWAll, to which the Juniors led us for the Ir.-Sr. Banquet. Shortly afterward, we pre- sented our first Senior play, THE BASHFUL BACHELOR, followed by A BROOM FOR THE BRIDE. On Sunday evening, May.17, our Baccalaureate services were held with Reverend H. E. Bertsche bringing us a wonderful message. Kevin McCann, President of Defiance College, delivered our Commencementaddress Tuesday evening, May 19. On Sunday evening, May 24, we departed for our six day trip to Washington D. C. and New York City, thus ending our days at A. H. S. With varied feelings and emotions the class of 1953 leaves Archbold High School to iigurney oug into the world to do their part to keep it forever the wonderful place we ow it to e. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The class of '53, having decided at their senior picnic to have a reunion in ten years, met in May of 1963 at Pokagon State Park for their first reunion. When we arrived, Dr. Annabelle Stuckey, B. S., M. D., Phd., D. D. S., D. D., and now assistant librarian of the ArchboldlMc Laughlin Memorial Library had already ar- rived with the hot dogs which she had .frozen after the senior picnic. Annabelle lives meagerly, but comfortably in her thirty room house at Lugbill's with her eighty-two hy- brid cats with which she has been experimenting since her biology days. The cats fill most of the rooms, so Annabelle lives in the butler's pantry. The butler is Donald Kleck, who also has his D. D., and is presently preaching in revival services Tuesday and Thurs- day nights in the back room of the Home Restaurant. These inspiring services feature Buetta Wyse singing her outstanding hymn, lt's Still in the Book. Soon after, Jane Scales arrived with the olives lripe of coursej. We learned that she has divorced Bill Rupp, whom she had married to psychoanalyze and reform, so that she could marry Einstein whose mental level is more nearly her own. She also had just re- vised the week into six twenty -eight hour days. When Bill learned of this, he left the country for his hermitage in Siberia Che likes cold saltj, for he hates everyone anyway. More pleasant news was brought with the arrivalof the successful Paul fYogij Yoder, manager of the Burlington Bombers who have just defeated the Yankees five games straight. Bob QHuckj Berry is his magnificient pitcher who allowed one hit in the first game of the series, but pitched four nohitters in the remaining games. At that moment we were all startled to see a figure in a striped uniform creeping out of the woods. We realized at once that it was our classmate Rollin fBad Boy Budj Beck, whom we hadn't seen since his departure from us on the senior trip. A news flash later in the day reported his escape from Sing Sing. Psychiatrists believe it was his criminal role in the senior class play which started his life of crime. 18
