BACKWARD GLANCE Come along with us and walk down the road on which the class of '50 traveled until they finally reached the cross-section where other roads combine with this one. Let's take a look in the first grade class at Forest view. Is it really these present seniors who are small enough to crawl under the desks? It looks like Mickie Mc- Donough and Marilyn Disbrow carry mes- sages to each other via crawling on the floor. Look, there’s Ted Uebbing, big leader of the girls' gang. At Parkview we see a few members of the class staying after school. Still. Janet Smith. Nancy Miller, Edith Dunn, and Don Solt haven't done all their work on time. Listen to these chants and tom-toms beating as the primitive third graders pre- pare their Indian program. We travel on and see that measles has wiped out most of the tribe. The scene has changed as the Dutch fourth graders present a program of Hol- land. What's the matter Gordon, aren’t you able to keep those wooden shoes on ? Helen Grachanin. Mickie McDonough, and Dolores Crates are really embarrassed. No wonder! They’ve been caught red- handed taking candy saved for superior spellers. Look at the time the sixth graders are having during their first class party held at Alethe McDonough’s house! Another first is the slumber party Ann Roberts is having for Janet Smith, Helen Grachanin. Helen Ross. Sheila Baker, and Alethe McDonough in the sixth grade. Dur- ing this grade, also, boys catch the girls is the popular sport. Our great athletes show off their physical prowess in the grade school Army-Navy game. Say. how many cheerleaders are there? Come, come, girls, everybody can't be one. Surely twenty are enough. Don't our dramatic stars look devastating in their Dad’s pajamas stuffed with pillows in The Squander Bug” play? Why does Ted Uebbing have a bandage around his finger? Could it be that he caught himself with the mouse trap that he put in his desk for pencil thieves? Say. our little troup is going to high school” now as these would-be wheels” enter the seventh grade. Comes the spring of 1945 and we find our eighth graders participating in the annual Spring Concert. Ouch! Tom Redinger has gracefully jumped over five hurdles, and there he is gracefully flopping over the last. Now our geniuses have become freshmen, madly thinking of schemes to enter the lime- light. The baby faces are beginning to dis- appear at last. How utterly social everyone is at the first formal party held by Lesley Wolfe at the Community House. A change comes about at the scene of Sally Brown’s Halloween party, when, among other things accomplished, a dead mouse was placed in somebody’s mailbox. W hat next in the classroom! The boys have taken the girls to lunch as an assign- ment for occupations class. Everybody has indigestion as a result. Hep! Hep! Get your pep! Here come our three cheerleaders. Marie Frate. Ginnie Mersbach, and Janet Smith. Next come the running board rides on Jack Nelson's beloved car. Take it easy on those corners, please. Following in the parade of fancy jalopies come Fred Gilner and Homer Davis with their pride and joys. During the Junior play, we see that some- body is sitting on Willy’s cigar, an impor- tant prop. Right after “Out of the Frying Pan these juniors pop over to Marie Frate's house, where we see another class party being held. Well. well. Wally Massey, George Hutch- erson, Dick Coulton. and Dick Watson have finally let the “hutches grow. It is the fall of '49 now and the end of the road nears. Lou Ann Aukens, Edith Dunn. Barbara Brand, and Lesley Wolfe are bringing back tales of the journalism conference at Ohio University. Now we are passing various scenes such as the hilarious talent assembly, the Valen- tine Senior Dance, proms, interviews with Mr. Patterson, senior play preparations and tests, tests, tests. The road is becoming wider now as the class of '50 continues on toward the dim horizon of the future. Before they travel completely out of sight they turn to us. knowing their Bay High days are over . . . Page 18
