SENIOR CLASS PRGPHECY The time: May 22, 1975. The place: the large airfield just outside Ber- lin. The event: Professor Wilbur Dean Inks, head scientist at the Berlin University, has just returned from a trip to Mars. After many interviews he decides to visit Milo Troyer, one of his old classmates. Milo is at the head of the conservation department in Holmes County at the present time but it is rumored that he has received some correspondence from Washington regarding a job for the national government. Since Prof. Inks has not seen the city of Berlin or any of his other classmates since graduation from high school, Milo agrees to show him around town. The first place they visit is the Kaser Trucking Co. which is owned by Richard Kaser. They stop to tall-1 with Dick but his secretary tells them that he and his family have just left for Europe on a vacation. Continuing towards the center of town they pass the Johnson 8a John- son Engineering firm which is owned by Jim Johnson. Jim married Velda soon after graduation from high school but he went to engineering school anyway and is now doing a fine business. He also has a half dozen little en- gineers that keep things buzzing around the home. The next building they see is the City Hospital. When they enter the hospital they are greeted by Maurice Mullet who is one of the head doctors. Dr. Mullet also informs them that two other classmates are also employed there. Lorene Miller is a registered nurse and Joan Kaser is one of the medi- cal technicians. They are just ready to leave the hospital when a new ar- rival is announced. It is a seven pound baby boy born to Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Boo Stutzman. 1The former Eileen Mast.J This makes number four for them. After leaving the hospital, they choose, as the next place of visit, the new elementary school. Here they find that Faith Kieffaber is one of the teachers. She and her husband also own a large farm in Charm, one of the suburbs of Berlin, on which they raise some of the best thoroughbred hor- ses in the country. Also teaching in the same school is Joanne Miller. She, too, is married and has a couple little ones of her own. When they reach the downtown area they enter one of the many fine restaurants. Here they find Shelba Kaufman employed as a waitress. While she serves Prof. Inks and Mr. Troyer she tells them that the proprietor of the restaurant is none other than the Husband of Mary Stutzman. The next place they visit is the television station. At the time they ar- rive Ada Kaufman is just finishing her program, Toys for Tots.

SEN ICR CLASS HISTGRY In the fall of 1951, nineteen green and eager Freshmen climbed aboard the airship Education and took off on the first leg of their four year voy- age. Maurice Mullet was chosen as pilot, Lorene Miller as co-pilot, and Jo- anne Miller as keeper of the log. The first year was rather uneventful, as most of the voyage was used to become accustomed to the hazards of flight. The fall of 1952 saw the entire crew of nineteen return to resume their flight. The plane's officers for the year were: Faith Kieffaber, pilot, Elsie Yoder, co-pilot, and Mary Stutzman, chief bookl-zeeper. Shortly before the end of the flight, Peter Dauwalder decided he had enough education and bailed out. Thus the second flight ended with a crew of eighteen. In September of 1953, all eighteen members once again took off for the third lap of the journey. This year found Maurice Mullet as pilot, Lorene Miller as co-pilot, and Rose Marie Schmid as chief bookkeeper and fmancier. This year was full of many business ventures. Among them were such things as selling vanilla, sponsoring a festival, producing the play The Boarding House Reach , and publishing the book entitled THE TRAIL. They also fa- vored the Seniors with a banquet, which followed the theme Moonlight and Roses. During the year they lost another member when David Hen- sley decided that he had, had enough education. In the fall of 1954, only sixteen returned for the final leg of the jour- ney. Fran Kauffman had gone to summer school and was now attending Gos- hen College. Maurice Mullet was again given the duties of pilot with Joan Kaser taking over as co-pilot. The keeper of the log was Faith Kieffaber. Their last year was an interesting one and wwas filled with. many activities. They produced another hit play, which was entitled, Its Great To Be Cra- zy. They had charge of the concession stand at the home basketball games and also at a sale. They also conducted a paper drive, had a bake sale, and sponsored a Talent Show.
