Class History With great anticipation the class of 56 began its journey through high school. Our officers were Kenneth Reinhard, President; John Nusshaum.

C. Camp for a class party. With quite a bit of volume our class returned to school from summer vacation. Twice winners and still champions of the yelling contest this year proved that we are capable of producing noise.

The theme of this reception was “Bon Voyage.’’ Completing our last whirl in high school, we started with Tom F.hrsam. President: Jerry Fluckiger. Vice President; Sandra Gilliom.

Reaching our final destination, we closed our high school days with the Junior-Senior Reception, Senior Week, Baccalaureate, and Commencement Exercises. Last Will and Testament Having learned all there is to know, we, the 1956 Senior Class of Herne-French High School, being of sound mind do hereby grant this, our last will and testament, rendering all other wills made during a period of temporary sanity be accounted null and void. To our deserving faculty we will a long restful vacation in order to recuperate from all the trying experiences we have brought them. To the juniors we give the ability to reign honorably as the oldest, most capable, and most intelligent class of B.F.H.S.

Sitting here alone in my cozy New York apartment it seems almost impossible that only ten years ago our class graduated from a small high school in the Swiss community of Berne. Indiana. I wonder where all my classmates are and what they are doing. Lately I have been quite busy designing clothes for leading manufacturers. One of these is Hanni. Inc. The other day I saw MADAME GEORGIA HAECKER modeling some of my originals for JIM HANNI. She really looked chic especially considering the fact that she is married and the mother of two longs” that are still rather short. Smiling from my dresser is a portrait of the famous actress. LUCILLE LIECHTY. which she said was painted for her by KENNY REINHARD. Here in New York we have a very fine minister. JERRY’ FLUCKIGER. He delivers messages both challenging and sincere. May 30. 1966 Dear Diary. It was a pleasure for me to again see two of my former classmates today. BECKY I.IECHTY' was motored to New Y’ork‘s La Guardia Airport by CONNIE VON GUNTEN. Becky is going to Africa as a missionary nurse. Connie has been collecting new Olds-mobiles as a hobby. They informed me that DAVE GII.I.IOM is now the shortstop for the Brooklyn Dodgers. MYLES ELEY is a Dodger statistician and keeps things running smoothly. Thinking of traveling. I have received a short contract in Paris and in about a month I shall be leaving. June 12. 1966 Dear Diary. Today I received a very interesting letter from CLAUDIA JO AMSTUTZ. She is the head of Chicago’s Samaritan Home and is in charge of five hundred orphans. Seemingly George Gobel may as well pull up his stakes and quit TV for ANTONIO LIECHTY’ is attracting enormous TV fame as a top-notch commedian. Also in the line of TYr in Chicago. JOHN NUSSBAUM has followed the vocation of a TV technician. Claudia met a former classmate recently who was none other than LEE SPRUNGER. Lee is the manager of the world’s largest confectionery. A small distance out of the city is KENLYN AUGSBURCER. who is teaching at the West Suburan School of Nursing, Oak Park. Illinois. June 28. 1966 Dear Diary. At last 1 am in the romantic city of Paris, France. When I flew over on one of T.W.A.'s jet-propelled planes. NANCY SMITH was the charming and attractive hostess. ROSIE YAGER is an airline stewardess for Eastern Airlines and both of them are finding hostessing as exciting as they had expected it to be. This evening I shall attend Mozart’s opera. “The Marriage of F'igaro.’’ of which LAWRENCE NEUEN. the famous opera star, has the leading role as Figaro. August 2. 1966 Dear Diary. It feels grand to be back home in Berne for my vacation. The weather is pretty hot. but BILL RUMPLE. Adams County’s Agricultural Agent, declares that it is an absolute must for the bumper corn crop which he has predicted. ROSCOE WULLIMAN owns a 300-acre estate and specializes mostly in poultry. AMOS LIECHTY, JR., owns his own feed mill and seems to be getting all Berne trade. What would you do if you came home to be met with such shocking news? DEAN HENDRICKS, BERNERD LEHMAN, and DON LLOYD are all farmers in French Township! Influence means a good deal these days. I guess. When a crisis arises, they refer to their belter halves who surprisingly (?) have a vast knowledge of farming. Right along with this time of the year comes the annual Adams County 4-H Fair. This year DICK WEAVER is judging all the livestock. One of the first things I noticed when I came home is that the Berne Witness has taken on a new front. Upon unquisition. 1 was informed that JOHN HARVEY AUGS-BURGER now does the printing. BARBARA BERTSCH PERRY has settled down in Berne and has a family of three. When she calls for them, she says. “Perry, como. Her friend. Doris Liechty, is a foreladv of the Berne Furniture Company. The new manager of the Berne Hardware, F'.I) MASON, is runing large ads in the Witness every day. His business is really prospering. MYRNA HABEGGER has been named the head nurse of Berne’s new hospital. In her staff are included SANDY GII.LIOM and RUTH ANN ZIMMERMAN, who is Berne's first lady doctor and heart specialist. KAYF1 F'LUECKIGF R is the receptionist. Visiting the school. Ye Ole Berne-French High. I noticed that several new teachers have been added to the faculty. MADELYN CLAUSER is in charge of the home economics department. TOM WILKINS is teaching all commercial subjects, and TOM EHRSAM is coaching the Bears for a champion team. What’s new in the office? BERDELL LEHMAN i the lenient principal and ANITA NUSSBAUM is his efficient secretary. The local TV station is a new attraction. GRACE HABEGGER. PAT PATTERSON, and LUELLA SCHWARTZ are all stenographers there. The news caravan is accredited to MAHI.ON GF'FJMAN, who is the news commentator. KEN NFIUF'NSCHWANDER gives the weather outlook. A helpful program for housewives is under the supervision of NANCY JO LIECHTY. August 15. 1966 Dear Diary. One of the last features in my vacation schedule is a drive to Indianapolis. Here 1 have found the remainder of our dear class. PAT FLUECKIGER STUCKY spends all her spare time singing. She reports that PAT BAUSERMAN is the first chair violinist in the Boston Pops Orchestra. LYNN SPRUNGER and LARRY SIMON are Cadillac dealers in the city and in their leisure they and DAVE HEARE help young hot rodders soup their cars up. A sports shop recently opened is under the management of PAUL BIXI.F'R. He has an unlimited selection of rifles. Well. well. I just saw LEON GOULD, who has been awarded three golden discs for his crooning. He has become quite popular with the teenagers everywhere. It all goes to show we have a little world after all. and even though each of us have been scattered far and wide, it was not quite three months until all were tracked down. And now, my Jear diary, you have seen what ten short years can do to fifty-one people. Our Yesterdays Staff Editor-In-Chief Kenlyn Augsburger Assistant Editor ...............

The Bears record was nine victories and one defeat. The defeat was at the hands of Willshire, Ohio, and was a non-conference game. Such games as the Lancaster, Adams Central. Ossian, Decatur Catholic, and the last Roll game will leave many memories with all who played or witnessed contests. The ability to come from behind and hold a lead gave the Bears victory in these games. Most of the other games were slugfests with the Bears winning easily. Graduation will hit the Bears hard with seven seniors leaving. They are Dean Hendricks, Tom Ehrsain, Dave Gilliom. Bernard Lehman, John Nussbaum, Berdell Lehman, and Myles Eley. The team members elected Tom Khrsam as their captain and Dean Hendricks as the most valuable player. BEARS’ RECORD BATTING AVERAGES Berne 5 Lancaster 4 R.S.

Training Choir Junior Bond Junior Orchestra Activities It Big Hearted Herbert A delightful comedy in three acts, “Big Hearted Herbert.' was presented by the Junior class on November 17 and 19 under the most capable direction of Ronald Walton. 'Fhe cast provided their audiences with many laughs as they told the story of a self-made businessman who insists that his family must be brought up in the plain traditions. The cast of characters is as follows: Herbert Kalness .... Elizabeth Kalness Robert Kalness .... Herbert Kalness, Jr. Alice Kalness Martha Andrew Goodrich Amy Lawrence Jim Lawrence Mr. Goodrich Mrs. Goodrich Mr. Havens ...... Mrs. Havens HOB D1LLE. JR. DONNA FOSNAUGH STANLEY LEHMAN PETER SCHUC JUDY YAGER BONNIE COOK CARL LIECHTY K AREN NEUENSCHWANDER ... ERNIE LEHMAN GUY GIVENS ROSY BAUMGARTNER JOHN SPURGEON JOYCE ISCH Herbert Kalness. a man with plain ideas, tries forcing these ideas on his family. When his daughter. Alice, becomes engaged to a Harvard man, Andy, and at the same time his wife has an elaborate dinner party with ice cream and all the trimmings for some Harvard man. it's more than Herbert can take.
