OUR HISTORY We are now Seniors. As we look back through the years we see many unforgettable events, some happy, some sad. These events were all a part of growing up, and in this way we shaped our lives for the future. The first day of school started with our bus ride. What a thrill! The steps seemed extra large as we tried our best to reach them. As we got to school Mrs. Mosier greeted 36 of us at the door and told us where we should sit. Our very own desks! My, how grown-up we felt. As the days progressed we learned that we were to have a fire drill. When the firebell rang Sandra Hade couldn't resist the temptation of seeing her favorite teddy bear burned. Quickly she rescued her possession and proceeded with the fire drill. At that time the big attraction on the playground was the new slide. Many recesses were spent trying it out. After recess we always looked forward to story time, the best time of the day. In the first grade we also learned something along the education line, learning to tell time, printing our names and numbers and reading stories about Alice and Jerry. Mrs. Shaull met us in the second grade with more stories and learning. This was the first year we won the seed contest. With our money we purchased nursery rhyme pictures which are still in the second grade rooms. While in the second grade we presented a play which was all about the circus. As we advanced to the third grade, Mrs. Biddle taught us our multiplication tables, English, geography, and health. Some of our accomplishments were checking out library books, weaving on a loom and finger painting. In winter we enjoyed the thrilling western serials that were shown at the noon hour. In the fourth grade we met more new adventures. We had our first lesson in playing the tonette. Miss Betty Miller read stories about Heidi . We learned that sentences should not be started with because . Many holes were worn in our workbook and many erasers were worn to nothing. The fifth grade started with Mrs. Bell teaching us our three R's . Mr. Bare took over our grade at the end of the first semester. Every morning we started the day with our favor- ite song I've Got the Love of Jesus and many games and quizzes. That year Mr. Bare made a baseball diamond for the girls. For the boys he arranged baseball games and tourna- ments. Mrs. Cloutier met us in the sixth grade. This year we elected a housekeeper, so each of us got a taste of cleaning up the room. Each month we made art pictures and put them into booklet form. At the end of our school day we listened to The Golden Eagle Mystery . In this grade we helped present the operetta The Cobbler of Fairylandn. With Mr. Mehaffey as our class advisor, we started into Junior High School. That year we received a party for winning the magazine contest. Lennard Montgomery left us this year to move to Kentucky with his parents. Miss Robinson advised us in our second year of Junior High School. Our class won many honors in the eighth grade test, including a first in the county in history and mathe- matics. Three of our class were in the top ten of the county in total scores and twenty were in the upper twenty-five percentile. We had another party this year for winning the maga- zine contest again. When the end of this year came, we received diplomas entitling us to go on to High School. In our Freshman year, under the advisorship of Coach Crosby we won the magazine contest for the third year in a row. We started the year out right by getting initiated into High School by the Seniors. Those joining us that year were Gene Hill, Nancy Chaffee, Ro- berta Chaney, Judith Hanna, and Peg McCoy. Our advisors were Mr. Chaney and Mr. Ridley for our Sophomore year. Russell Straus- baugh left us this year to attend a Fremont School. Lennard Montgomery, who had not been with us since the seventh grade, rejoined us this year. At the end of this year, a class- mate for many years, Lynda Laux, left us to move into the Green Springs School District. continued on page 20

CLASS OF ' 57 PROPHECY It is the year 1970. We are getting ready to start for the moon. We climb into our rock- et ship and we're off. Our first contact with the moon is made with the Head Radio Opera- tor. The voice sounds familiar, and soon we find it belongs to our old classmate Gene Hill. Upon landing on the moon we are met by the Ambassador of Good Will, Frank Hie- stand. We flag down a jet-propelled taxi, which is driven by Jon Abbott. Believe us we get to our hotel, but fast! To our surprise the hotel owner turns out to be Charles Armstrong, known to us as Chuckles . After freshening up we journey down to the dining room which is under the excellent supervision of Marie Hines and Arloween Terry. Immediately after our delicious meal we jump into our rocket and zoom into town in 40 seconds. The town, called Boogieville, was named after their mayor, and our ex-class mate, the wonderful Bob Keim. We now go to the Concert Hall which features Peg McCoy as vocalist. She is accom- panied by the famous concert pianist, Jean Dunlap. The next morning, we set off to see some of the town. Our first stop was the Clif-Lar Chemical Company. This is owned and operated by Clifford Lynch and Larry Dunlap. As we continue on our way the steering mechanism of our rocket fails and we run smack-dab into another rocket which is operated by Judith Hanna. We receive minor abrasions and are taken to the Green Cheese Hospital for an exam- ination. The head nurses are Ruth Ann Gillmor and Lorna Flack. They invite us to come to the apartment they share, informing us that they always have a hilarious time. About this time in walks Chief-of-Police, Mike Yaros, who arrests us for the accident. Luckily for us the Head Jailer is our former classmate, Harry Bloom, who treats us exceptionally well. After a dreary two hours in the jail cell, we are informed that we have a visitor. The visitor turns out to be none other than Skip Gillmor, the famous lawyer, who bails us out. We now take our rocket to the nearest garage and leave it in the capable hands of Bill Watkins and Jim Lynch to be repaired. The accident jarred a few teeth loose, so to the near- est dentist we go. The dental assistant, who escorts us to the chair and holds our hand is Lynette Hoover. After this harrowing experience, we set out, badly in need of a beauty treatment. As we are walking along we bump into Shirley Rosenberger. She tells us that she is married and the mother of twelve daughters. On her suggestion we go to Sharon's Beauty Salon' which is owned by Sharon Habecker. Her head manicurist is our former classmate, Connie Gegorski. Our next stop is the school. We are met by the Superintendent, Mary Jo Barto. After a little chat, she takes us to the Principal's Office to talk with the Principal, Sandra Hade. Journeying to the first grade room, we renew old acquaintances with Beverly Suffecool, the first grade teacher. Her pupils are being checked by the County Health Nurse, Wilma Lemmerman. Wilma informs us that the Agriculture Teacher is Richard Gabel, another of our for- mer classmates. After we return to our hotel that evening we receive a call from Arlene Schiffer, now Mrs. Wayne Kapp. We ask about Roberta Chaney. Arlene says that Roberta is now a fa- mous woman lawyer. Before leaving the moon the next day, we went to the Agriculture Experimental Sta- tion which is under the direction of Jack DeRan. On the way to the Rocket Station we pass the Space Force Training Field. We wave to Gene Stover, who is the Commanding Officer in charge. Boarding our Rocket Ship for Earth, we are welcomed aboard by our Stewardess, Re- becca Buskirk. ' We return home tired, but happy to have met all our former classmates. Tweedledee and Tweedledum
