Senior Memories QContinuedj Under the leadership of Mr. Benham and Morris Wise, president of the class, we had another good dance, Snow Crystal Ball. In our junior year we really began to work. We had three new students that year, Sue Anderson, Narva Schooler, and Jerry Schmidt, to help share our increased load, That was the year that we had to give two dances. We couldn't afford to lose money on the Halloween dance, the Cornsta1k Stomp, so Warren Supersa1esman O'Neill, aided by several classmates, sold almost one hundred dollars' worth of tickets, No sooner had we finished that than Dave Champney, our president, and Mr. Judd, our advisor started us to work on our prom. I never shall forget those arguments we had in choosing a theme. War- ren and Earl kept their South Sea Island idea to the last, but we finally decided on Cherry Blossom Time. I guess 1 missed some of the fun that year at the prom by not staying out all night with the gang, but I got up early enough when Ron pulled me out of bed at 6 o'clock. It wouldn't have been bad if he had just gotten me up, but I still think that it was unneccessary for him to tear my pajamas. We had to go back to the college to undecorate and to return all of the park benches to the college campus. Ohl I almost forgot chemistry class. I don't know how that ever slipped my mind. We had to be on guard constantly in that class against flying missiles and explosions. Ted McNutt and Jerry Schmidt were al- ways keeping things popping, Our senior year started out with a bang with a party at Mrs. Cochran's house. The whole class was there for the first social event of the still young school year. We elected Shirley Miller president that night without having a vote. It was the first time that I can remember our class having a unanimous de- cision. We sponsored our last high school dance, Dial '55 for Jive. We decided to try something new so we had a party instead of a dance. Everyone in the high school was invited and they could dance to records or play games-FREE! We played our share of tricks on Mrs. Cochran that year, but she always took them good -naturedly and came back with a few of her own. That day someone dropped a lead pipe in the hall, and she, thinking it was a iire alarm, rushed the classes in her end of the hall out of the building was one I'll never forget, English class brought its share of laughs as someone was always coming up with something to keep the class laughing. Physics was another class that kept the kids laughing. I remember the day that some of the boys were playing with an airplane magneto. Jack Stewart was cranking it and Jackie Cochran was trying to talk someone into holding the wires. He had one of them in his hand and accidentally touched the other as he started to say, This thing won't shock you. Before he finished his sentence. he had been knocked to the floor by the shock, and everyone was laughing at him. Don Pitstick joined us near the end of the year. That senior year certainly topped off twelve years of hard work and fun. That was a group of kids that I'll never forget. 9 1 G J.: '59 if. as Q 4: is Sponsored by as THE SPRINGFIELD COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY . 51: Q 423 W. N. Street, Springfield, Ohio JF

Q I The year is 19785 we are in the office of Douglas Williams, the big wheel of the Williams Tire Com- pany. Mr. Williams has been so busy since he started his business ten years ago that he has had no time to clean out his desk, that's what he's doing as we enter. Buried deep in one of the drawers, he comes upon a book that looks vaguely familiar. After a closer examination he finds that it is his yearbook from his high school days--the '55 Bryannual. Thumbing through the pages, he notices the pictures of his fellow graduates. What a class we were! he thinks to himself. I can remember that class from the first grade. Mrs. Volz had a hard time keeping Barbara Beal, Evelyn Adams, Liz Finley, Butch Oelslager, Joyce Demmy, Jackie Cochran, Rose White, Maxine Hamilton, Ronnie Fisher, Genny Perry, Harold Stancliff, and me in line. I remember the time that we made her angry with the noise that we made. She had a quick cure for our nois- inessg we all bent over our desks while she passed with her trusty yardstick, letting everyone get the feel of it as she went by. The second grade found most of the class a little subdued, except Jackie Cochran who had to be kept in frer school in order to keep him from chasing Joyce Demmy home to kiss her. The third grade passed without major incident with Mrs. Cletis Waddle, but we reverted to our old ways in the fourth grade under Miss Virginia Atkinson's rule. Ted McNutt entered Dayton Street School in that year and made quite an impressiong in fact Rose White knocked him over the kindergarten fence'in one of their habitual fights. Jack Stewart and Earl Batdorf also entered the class in that year, but did so a little more quietly The fourth grade play was quite a production. Liz played the part of an angel, hmmmmmmmm. ..... Joyce was a dollg Butch was a fairy, Jackie was a birdg and Ted was a snowman. Mr, Shaw tamed the Indians when we reached the fifth grade as he really cracked the whip. One of my most vivid memories of the fifth grade was that of my introduction to the game of ping-pong. We really used to have the games in those days, Ronnie Fisher, Dave Hull, and I were the best players of the boys: Barbara Beal, Marcia Oelslager, and Rose White were the girl champs. Ping-pong wasn't the only game that we learned that year, no, sir, asl remember, boys after girls used to be my favorite sport, We went around with our noses in the air in the sixth grade. We looked down on the lower classmen and really threw our weight around. We were told to set the example for the younger students, and we must have set some dandies, That year we were terrorized by our first book reports and also got a sample of what home- work was going to be like in future years. We migrated to Bryan High School the next year and had to get used to being the lowest rung on the ladder instead of the top one. What I remember most about the seventh grade is being constantly threatened with initiation, We added several faces to our growing rogues gallery that year. Dave Champney, Shirley Miller, and Warren Tex O'Neill arrived to help us maintain our reputation as the most disorderly class in the building. The Junior high basketball team played Selma that year. Little did we know that their star player, Morris Wise, would come to Bryan in his freshman year. In the eighth grade we had our first real introduction to Mrs. Cochran, whom in our senior year we came to call Mother. She had a party at the park for us that year. I'll never forget running myself to death on that treasure hunt she had, only to be beaten by David Hull. It seems that Mrs. Cochran had a rule outlaw- ing chewing gum. Jackie, Joyce, and Barbara were the type that believed rules were made to be broken. They had to write a theme on why they shouldn't chew gum in class. When Mr. Judd was advisor and I was class president in the freshman year, we sponsored 'Stardust Serenade our first dance. The kids talked about that dance for years as the prettiest dance that they had ever seen. Evelyn Garman really chose the right year to join our ranks. Our sophomore year found us more accustomed to high school and a little more settled in our ways. I'll always remember that year because of Latin. I didn't realize that anything could get so hard, so fast: but second year Latin surely did. We all wondered if we'd make it, but we did. 3 42' '- 0? 'if , as 6? 62 01- 53 45' 0?
