F What a beautiful May evening! Here I am a graduate in just a few more daysl As I sit ou my steps looking at the moon and the stars, my mind travels back over my high school days. They have been wonderful daysl I begin to think of my bright future - preparing to become a medical doctor. Then my mind wanders and I gaze into the year 1970 where in my vision I see my classmates pass in review. I can see Dave Champney as a brain surgeon. There are Morris Wise, a noted physicist, and Evelyn Adams, a biological scientist. Jack Stewart is a mechani cal engineer, and Jerry Schmidt is the designer of the first atomic powered rocket ship to Mars. How proud our science teachers should bel I can see that several of my classmates are in business. Earl Batdorf owns a large super station: Dave Hull owns his own business, and Genny Perry operates a dress shop for which she designs the clothes. Doug Williams is a big business man,too. Evelyn Garman and Shirley Miller are both secretariesg however Evelyn is a mi1lionaire's private secretary, and Shirley is one just like Susie MacNamara. Liz Finley is a cer- tified public accountant. I visualize Joyce Demmy and Rose White as beauticians. There is Warren O'Neill just about to receive the Mr. America crown. Barbara Beal's name is up in lights: she is starring in a big Broadway musical hit. Don Pitstick is in the Marinesg Ted McNutt is a five star general in theAir Force, and Ron Fisher is a jet pilot. I can see Sue An- derson campaigning for the coming election of a new President. In imagination I see Marcia Oelslager as commercial teacher, Harold Stan- cliff as an industrial arts teacher, Maxine Hamilton as an elementary school teacher, and I ack Cochran as high school counselor. Four teachers from our class is a good record. But thinking of school finally brings me out of my trance and reminds me that I should be thinking of the present, for there are various tasks which need to be com- pleted before the big night. It will be interesting to see whether my dreams do come true. cF 55 62 0 9 0': 6, 4 qi' '23 Sponsored by THE ANTIOCH PRESS and YELLOW SPRINGS INSTRUMENT COMPANY
