CLASS HISTORY-Continued ‘ Say, Jola Jean,’’ asked Barbara, ‘ wasn't Miss Wood our class sponsor who helped us select our class rings?' ’ Yes, we received them in our junior year while we were working on our play. Remember some of the hilarious times we had during play practices like Bob falling through the bookcase? Remember those eerie green eyes that glowed in the dark? That was really a spooky place when the tiger was on the loose. ‘Tiger House’ was really a fitting mame for the play.”’ Barbara commenced to stammer, °‘Who--Who was our sponsor, his name was Gaylord, ah----- Gaylord,----- ah----- oh---what was his name? It had some- thing to do with a game. My memory never was very gdéod. Oh, what was his name? It wasn't Soccer, or Ping Pong, or Hockey. Was it Tennis. That’s it. Tennis, Gaylord Tennis.’’ I don’t suppose you are able to remember who our class officers were? It seems as though they were Gerald Ladd as president, Rita Bender as vice- president, Belva Getts as secretary, Mildred as reporter, and I was treasurer.’’ ‘ Do you remember who came and left our class that year? It all seems so dim---too dim. They always said I was dim witted.”’ ‘‘Andrew Pefferkorn and Gene McGrew joined us from the Senior class,’’ Jola Jean answered. ‘‘Adele Lynch moved to Kendallville and Pat Hartman took her place. Marjorie Miller and Everitt Freed quit. Than Frank Holse joined us from Salem. ’ Barbara reflected, ‘ We sold ice cream and candy during our junior year in order to entertain the seniors at the annual banquet which was held at the Fort Wayne Women’s club. The decoration theme was a May Pole and the color was gold and white. I remember we sent part of the center piece to Everitt Freed, who was then suffering from rheumatic fever. Who were the speakers? I don’t quite remember ?'’’ Wasn't it Mr. Frederick and what was his name, he was the county super- intendent? Oh, I know, Mr. Carl Stallman. Mr. Stallman, especially liked out entertainment program. Remember we had a dance review, which especially pleased the boys, and a Barber Shop Quartet. ’ Then came the great year, the senior year, the last lap of the journey. That’s easier to remember. That was the year Bob Bacon was president, I was secretary and treasurer and Beverly Deter was reporter, and then was elevated to editor-in-chief of the ‘Red and Blue’ staff. ’ Jola Jean remaixed, ‘‘It was that year Lois Farver quit and right before the second semester Bessie Silberg quit and got married. We had a shower for her and it was so much fun that all the girls decided to have a mass wedding, because it was leap year,”’ ‘ Remember the joyous day we received our senior play, ‘Wedding Spells’? Everyone was 50 happy and excited about it, they could hardly wait to get started on it. What fun we had.”’

CLASS HISTOR Y-Continued ‘ Then came those last moments. ’ ‘ Yes, those very last ones.’’ The Junior-Senior party, Baccalaureate, Commencement, Class Night,----- Those were the good old days. ’ SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Mildred, I'll bet you can’t guess what I heard you were doing. I'll bet it’s pretty nice to settle back in your old age as ‘‘oomph”’ girl of '68, after smiling at John Power's camera for fifteen years. Well, Riley, you haven't much to say after I heard what you were doing. Just imagine you giving dancing instructions in New York City. My how this park has improved since we graduated from Ashley High School with the class of °48. Yes, especially these beautiful shade trees which were donated by each class. Oh, here comes Mrs. Carl McNutt, alias Jola Jean Albright, who is operating the ‘Jolly Jean Beauty Shop’ in Garrett, and there’s Joann Alleshouse who is keeping house for Junior Sloat. And I hear Gene McGrew, the new owner of the Ashley Garage, is doing very well and business is booming since the Bacon and Miller Hospital has been erected. All we hear any more is ‘‘Paging Dr. Robert Bacon and Dr. Kenneth Miller.’’ Look, ther’s Martha Perdue, Ashley’s music director and who’s that with her? I wonder ----= i | Why that’s Beverly Deter who has taken over her father’s printing shop and over there under the tree, donated by our class, is Dean Wysong sleeping in one of the chairs manufactured by his No Nod Company. Look, tho’s arriving now! Norma Hampshire and Herman Lehman escorted by Gerald Ladd who was our professional High School Escort, Just look at all the little Hermans and Normas. Yes, and look there is none other than our old classmate Frank Holse. He is now the sheik of sheiks in the movie world. It was always said that miracles would happen and this is surely nothing less than a miracle.
