With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand She wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since shellingers there. And you-O you, who the wildest yearn,- For the old-time step and the glad return,- Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here, Think of her as the same, we say: She is not dead,-she is just away!

MARION JOHNNY YOHN CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, as the fiag was raised, we found that the class of 51 had 30 members ready to begin the long race. Although the racers felt a bit green at this new thing, the more experienced Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors made them feel at home and their class sponsor, Mr. Smith, carried them through the year. The officers that paved the way for the others the following years were as follows: President-Gene Freshour, Vice President- Marion Yohn, Secretary - Ann Godshalk, and Treasurer-Donna Miller. On October third they weren't quite so speedy as they assembled in the Gym for the usual initiation program but the skat- ing party that night made up for it. The second quarter found 28 members again filing into place. Although some were new the class lost a few members also. The class, feeling quite a bit bigger, was more active this year. They put on a talent show in the fall in which the whole class participated. Also they had the usual Sophomore magazine sale in which they gained quite a few pennies for their piggy bank. The racers decided that in order to keep warm they should all have sweaters alike and so they, being the first class in B.H.S. to do it, ordered class sweaters. The officers and directors were as follows: Sponsors-Miss Van Harlingen and Mr. Bloomingdale, President- Dennis Smith, Vice President-Pat Wayne, Secre- tary-Donna Miller, Treasurer-Marion Yohn, and Reporter-Gene Freshour. The race, being only half way through in 49 , had only 25 in the line up. Mrs. Whiteman and Mr. Graham were willing to lead our class that year. The officers were: President-Paul Raber, Vice Pres- ident-Dennis Smith, Secretary-Darlene Artley, Treasurer-Marion Yohn, and Reporter-Dan Cul- veyhouse. This year students were beginning to take a few more responsibilities, such as the class play, Calamity Kids, given on April 13, 1950, work on school paper, and Junior and Senior Prom. Of course they also had to pick our rings, and in Jan- uary, when news had gotten around the school that they had come, you never saw such a race for the Junior home room in your life. On June 2nd the class once more left the track to refuel with sunshine and vigor so they would be ready to finish the last lap of the race. The racers came back on September 5th, 1950, for the final lap of that long race. They were just as full of pep and much more at home than they were three years ago when they were just little green girls and boys not knowing what four years ahead of them would bring. They decided they would give the Freshmen, as well as the teachers a rest from initiation this year. With the twenty-one stu- dents surviving, an additional student, Guenther Wiedmann from Germany, entered the race. The five that were willing to lead the others this last year were Paul Raber-President, Gene Freshour- Vice-President, Donna Miller-Secretary, Pauline Bontrager-Treasurer, and News Reporter-Stan- ley Miller. The class was glad to have a rest for two days to pick apples. Even though they had rainy weather one day they still had fun getting stuck in trees and a little silly on cider. Under the direction of their class sponsors, Mrs. Cripe and Mr. Thompson, they presented their class play, Time of Their Lives, on December 15th. As the twenty-two contestants crossed the finish line, all being able to keep in the race, they re- ceived their diplomas and felt the race very worth while. Best Wishes of OLYMPIA CANDY KITCHEN Goshen, Indiana PROPH ECY It is the summer of 1961. We were on our way to Yellowstone National Park on our two- day honeymoon when our plane went bad. We landed in a beautiful modern airfield. As we crossed the field, we saw a familiar figure coming toward us. As it drew nearer, we recognized it to be Stanley Miller, a l95l classmate graduate of mine. He told us that this was his airfield and the now very famous Stephen Hess had designed and decorated it for him iust 5 years ago. As we talked he told me Steve had married Marion Yohn and the two were living very comfortably in Des Moines, Iowa, with their three children. Marion was now a beautiful model in a large department store in Des Moines. Stand told us he would drive us into Des Moines for a visit with some of our classmates while our plane was being repaired. On the way we passed a large and beautiful farm of which we could see only a portion. At the office cornerpost we read KANTNER AND RABER, INC. As I stared, open- mouthed, Stan told us that this 4200-acre farm belonged to Forrest lPeeWeel Kantner and Paul Raber, now wealthy farmers who were supplying half of the U. S. with some of their products. On the way we were listening to the radio when we heard AND NOW THE SPONSORS OF WHATZAT BRING YOU THAT CRAZY HALF HOUR OF FUN AND LAUGHTER-DO YOUR FEET FALL FLAT WHEN YOU TALK WITH THAT HAPPY-GO-LUCKY PARKER--starring JOYCE PARKER AND THE SUNSHINY BOY, HER BROTHER AND ONLY TWIN, JERRY PARKER IN 'DIE NOW OR NEVER.' As we listened with aching sides to the twin comedians, Stan reported that Jerry was also a famous businessman in down- town Des Moines, owning a large TV and Radio Center. Stan drove us up to a beautiful white hospital where he said Nancy Johnson was a very successful nurse. Nancy was off duty when we reached her, so she took us to her home. Nancy reported that Lois was a great band leader with her own orchestra and was widely known for playing the clarinet, coronet and had her own TV program. She said Lois was now in Hollywood starring in a production being made by Paramount Pictures. Nancy also told us it was only a few blocks down the street where Donna Miller owned the famous Des Moines Newspaper and Dan Culveyhouse was her popular cartoon artist. We all walked over to see Donna and Dan and as we visited we learned that Gunther Wiedmann was a chemistry and German professor in the University of Iowa, and Geneva Smith was a school teacher in a small school in the suburbs of Chicago. Just then someone mentioned Gene Freshour's name, and Donna lbeing a newspaper womanl furnished the information. She told us Gene was a great secret service detective in New York City and Pauline Bontrager was his secretary. Going over our list of co-graduates, we ran across the name of David Kruse. Dan said Dave was a tree surgeon in the Forrestry branch of the State government. Stan said our plane should be ready, and, as it was getting late, we said goodbye to our friends and hurried back to the airfield. After thanking Stan, we continued on our way. Upon arriving in Yellowstone, we were very hungry, so we stopped at an exclusive restaurant to eat. On the sign read Horn lnn and Chew Awhile. Looking over our menu we came upon Lorraine Horn, proprietress. Entering a smart looking department store, we could see beautiful clothes by the dozens. The clerk said they were all designed by their own clothes designer, the brilliant Ann Godshalk. Passing the fur department we saw Dennis lBudl Smith inspecting the furs. Going in to talk to him, he said he had iust got back from Canada with furs. Having come with us, Ann said Bud was a very famous fur trapper and was sending his furs to all parts of the world. Continuing into the park, our first thought was Old Faithful where who should we see but the famous Beverly Phillips, the well-known socialist, and her husband and two children. As we were talking Bev told me Wilma Reynolds was very busy with the newest in hair styling in Washington, D. C. On our way back home we decided if there ever was another trip to be made, it would be back to the interesting and successful lives of the Class of '5l, but as soon as I got back I knew I must concentrate on practicing for my next tour with my accordion.
