maneuvering of seaman ROBERT HAU, the ship was freed though slightly off course, and they made their way to a volcanic island where they found FELIX PEPPARD, now an eminent scientist experimenting with the X-Bomb. The radio proved a wonderful opening for several of your boys. TERRY HUDSON has taken over Don McNeill's Breakfast Club. He is the idol-of the American housewife at 8:00 in the morning. CHARLES GUERRERO is a world news-commentator. Kaltenborn was never like this! On his latest broadcast he mentioned the best seller The Rights of the Human Citizens by famous author JOHN MCCANN. Mr. Guerrero also mentioned the outstanding espionage work of F.B.I. agent JIMMIE ECKSTEIN, in Russia. Another item of interest was the uncovering of a lost civilization in South America by- the world renowned archeologist, CHARLES RAY. He also made mention of foreign relations mediator, WANDA NICHOLS, Ph.D., TGIF, ODIM, who has flown to Ireland for a conference with Ambassador MARGARET ANN MURPHY, It seems they want to establish as the new National Anthem Who Put the Overalls in Mrs. Murphys Chowder? Together they enjoyed reminiscing with the capable airline hostess, their old classmate LOUISE BRANDT, whom they found on the flight. J. O. GRAY owns the world's largest ducle ranch where he is sponsoring a summer camp for underprivileged boys under the guidance of social worker MARY ANNE DURR, who incidentally founded the Durr's Dorm for the Deaf and Dumb in her spare time. PHYLLIS HECKENKAMP, now Mrs. Pan of Pan American Airlines, has proved herself an angel of mercy by found- ing a'SMemorial Hospital for all pilots with Errol Flynn moustaches, The opening speech at the dedication was made by the famous surgical seamstress, BETH CONNELLY. DIANE SCHNEIDER, Kelly High's private dentist, making an inspection of the children's choppers recently, was pleased to find an old classmate, JUNE BALKENBUSH, there advertising her new freckle removing cream, guaranteed to make any red-head ravishing. By the way, a new professor of ancient Greek, DUDLEY WADE, was made acquainted with the school last week. Overwhelming numbers of young ladies are majoring in language this semester, I'm told. Coach TOM MALONEY'S National Highschool Basketball Champions have just returned from Madison Square Garden with the key to New York City and a six foot Basket Ball Trophy. The coach was greeted by the news that his old pal, EDDIE MCCARTHY, was elected as Kellyville's D.A. Eddie-'s first assignment is the touchy job of cleaning up Carl's. FRANCIS VATER followed his boyhood ambition and is now the chief weather-man for the state of Oklahoma, prom- ising snow every Christmas. In Hollywood under assumed names, DIAN JEDLICKA and CLARA ANN MCGUIRE are the top gossip columnists, ands real credit to that fair city, One of the latest tidbits stated the fact that the wealthy socialite Patty Blaine four own MARYBELLE HARDESTYJ had just finished her nfth picture this year, and was flying north to Canada. lt seems she finally found the Mounty of her dreams. But we have our own Mrs. Miken: DOROTHY HOFFMAN has proved a great help around the Lynch studio- by introducing the new darling of the teen agers, disc-jockey BOB MANNIX. A recent guest on his program was psychiatrist GRACE THOMAS, speaking on How to Handle the Modern Mother or Life with Father. AL GAYLOR broke in with a commercial for a wonderful new type of elevator shoe - The shoe with the gift to give you a lift. Members of your class have entered every field of life, so, to proceed- Politics has proved a promising field for several of your students. Congresswoman JOAN SLATER recently secured passage of the 22nd amendment to the Constitution which enabled FRANK MANLEY, ,although not yet thirty-five, to take office last January as President of the United States. He is the youngest man in the history of our nation to hold this posi- tion. President Manley appointed KATIE DUNN as Postmistress General, remembering her ability to keep the mail in circulation. She recently set up a one-hour mail service between here and Shawnee. We hope you have enjoyed hearing of the ultimate success achieved by the half century .class and that you remember us daily in your prayers so that in the not so imaginary kingdom of heaven we may prosper as well as we did in our mental creation of Kellyville. Your loving class of NINETEEN, HUNDRED AND FIFTY. Class Histor On September 8, 1938, the senior class ofthe half century began its long and tedious journey through the halls of John Carroll under the loving care of Sister Mary Francisco. Innocent and very much unaware of what was in store for them, these seventeen entered the first grade: June Balkenbush, Gene Beavin, Mary Ann Durr, Al Gaylor, Charles Gaffney, Robert Hau, Phyllis Heckenkamp, Dorothy Hoffman, Terry Hudson, Frank Manley, Bob Mannix, Betty O'Meara, John McCann, Margaret Ann Murphy, Bobbee Schulte, and Tom Wolf, Having learned to read and write successfully, we passed on to the second grade, where we were greeted by Sister Mary Fabian. The most memorable occurrence of this year was the reception of our First Holy Communion. This year it became quite proper to carry our lunch money tied in the corner of our handkerchief. After many struggles we were finally promoted to the first floor, the third grade, and Sister MaryVirgilius. This year we had the thrill of receiving Confirmation and of choosing a new name. After scrubbing the entire third grade floor, we finally learned to use a fountain pen without spilling our ink. In the fourth grade we were greeted by Sister Mary Boniface. Five new students were welcomed into the foldg these were Eddie McCarthy, Clara McGuire, Judy Moyers, Bill Wilson, and Jarrell Wade. Sister Mary Boniface hav- ing learned so much from us, was also promoted to the fifth grade, where we acquired the title of Fifth Grade Gremlins. This year Betty Barton joined us and also became a gremlin. Passing on to the sixth grade, we were joined by Eddie Chew, Marybelle Hardesty, Grace Thomas, and Carl Westerman. This year, Sister Mary Andrea, with the aid of our newly acquired multiplication pencils, taught us our times tables. September, 1944, found us preparing to enter Junior High. The most memorable events of this year were the spelling bees, the arithmetic matches, and the entrance of three new pupils, Virginia Haag, Suzanne Barr, and Linda Huffman. Under the guiding hand of Sister Mary Clotilda, we successfully planned the seventh and eighth grade picnic. In our eighth year we were joined, by Dian Jedlicka and Al Gaylor. We anxiously awaited our eighth grade graduation when we would re- ceive our diplomas certifying that we had become full-fledged high-school students. Our freshman year with Sister Mary Adrian was packed with new exciting subjects and we, with Lois Simpson and Gene Beavin, successfully became Sister Mary Alicia's Latin scholars and adopted as our motto, Roses are red, Daisies are yellow, What's a puer without a pue1la? This year we further added to our fame by winning the coveted softball trophy, As members of the Eaglette Pep Club and staunch supporters of the basketball team, we cheered our team on to win the State Basketball Championship. Having successfully completed our freshman year, we happily anticipated our first year as upper- classmen and welcomed a whole new group of students, Eva Btteman, Dick Bizal, Louise Brandt, Joanne Boecker, Beth Con- nelly, Kathleen Dunn, Jim Eckstein, Carolyn Gier, Charles Guerrero, Ann Kavanaugh, Jerry King, Charles Ray, Kathleen Robinson, Jaon Slater, Diane Schneider, Joan Williams, and Francis Vater. Under the patient guidance of Sister Mary Cle- ment we struggled through angles, theorems, and propositions and even braved Second Year Latin. Basketball season came and with superior playing, our team captured the 1948 Basketball Championship. The P.T.A. also honored us with a bas- ketball banquet, the first ever had in Carroll. Having done as much damage as possible, our large class advanced to the eleventh grade. Plans were immediately made with Sister Mary Leonilla's careful assistance and with that of our new class- mates, Tom Maloney, Wanda Nichols and James Gray, for the Junior Carnival. The Carnival was held October 17 with every member of the class participating. It was a huge success. Then came one of the most exciting seasons of the school year, the basketball season. An outstanding occurrence of this year was the trip to Tulsa, during which thirty Eaglettes spent a jubilant weekend in Tulsa, after their having been stranded. They returned in their own private caboose on the Rock Island, arriving too late for Mondays classes. After a long and successful season we were forced to surrender our two-year reign as champs to St. Gregory, but we won a greater victory in good sportsmanship and promised ourselves better luck next year. At last came the night we had lived for as long as we could remember, the night of the Junior-Senior Prom. Beauty and manners burst forth in our- best display and we all enjoyed a most wonderful time in spite of the rain. On May 4, we par- ticipated in the largest Catholic Youth Rally ever held in Oklahoma. This included a Field Mass at Taft Stadium and a parade. On September 6, 1949, fifty-five missing Juniors were accidentally found in the Senior room. On the first day of school' the sophisticated seniors, joined by Jack Johnson and Felix Peppard, received their long-awaited class rings. We elected class officers and our capable annual staff to carry on the splendid tradition begun last year. Our lab experiments started off with a bang when one distinguished senior bravely poured two acids together. This year too, we discovered the talents of our famous quartet, the Hardly Worth Waiting Four. In November, we were all saddened by the de arture of our own dear Eva. She announced she was married and the lucky guy was Jerry McKinley. The Seniors chose fbr their class play, Tattle Tale, and did a fine job producing it under Sister Mary Alicia's supervision. Basketball this year gave us one of the finest teams in the history of John Carroll. After a very successful season, we traveled to Tulsa where we again captured the State Championship, The last senior high team ever to represent Carroll on the basketball court left'a wonderful record, In March we selected our royal pair, King Francis I and Queen Joan Ellen, to reign over the kingdom of Eaglonia. One of the final acts was the crowning of Our Lady, Queen of the May. This special privilege was granted to Grace Thomas who was ably assisted by Phyllis Heckenkamp and Betty Barton. With the Annual completed and everyone very well satisfied, we began serious preparation for graduation. Once again we anticipated the prom, our last one, which brought back memories of our former one. With mingled joy and sorrow we donned our caps and gowns for our last week in the Old Bastille. As we look back over the years, we only now fully realize the great debt of gratitude we owe to the faculty of Carroll in having thoroughly prepared us for the long road ahead. Q

Signed by THE CLASS OF '50 lass Prophecy May 28, 1965 Dear Sister Mary Alicia, Since you were unable to attend our fifteenth annual class reunion, we decided to write to let you know what your class of '50 has done with itself in the old home town. Kellyville, as you know, 'has just opened an ultra-modern department store under the management of prominent businesswoman JOAN WILLIAMS, The other day I saw someone whom I believe you knew as SUZANNE BARR, buying outfiits for the Kellyville Wolves baseball team. TOMMY WOLF, as you have probably read, is now the highest paid catcher in the history of the big leagues. You would really be surprised how the town has grown around the highschool. There is the BIZAL Construction Company across the street - You remember DICK, the wiggly one up front. Next door to this is a cunning little candy store under the proprietorship of EDDIE CHEW. He manufactures a new candy, advising you to Be Choosy, Chew Chew's Chewy Chocolates. And speaking of food a favor- ite spot of the highschool students at noon is BOECKER'S Beanery, just east of the school. The rest of the noon hour is usually spent in their chief delight, gazing at the new models in the GIER Studebaker agencv. The JOHNSON Theatre syndicate is currently showing a movie version of the opera Carmen starring ANNETT KAVANOFF with her famous accompanist KATALINA ROBINSONSKY. For more entertainment we may proceed to King CARL'S Casino for an evening of gaiety. GENE BEAVIN is Carl's front man and cashier-in-chief. The special attrac- tion there this week is Vivacious VIRGINIA and the Bubbling BETTlES', BARTON AND O'MEARA. Last week the club's crowd was entertained by WILI,Y'S Hill Billys, who blew in from Del Rio for the occasion. Clever advertising for Carl's is done by commercial artist, JUDY MOYERS, who is employed by the thriving newspaper in Kellyville edited by CHARLES GAFFNEY. J. B. O'REILLY is also on his staff, drawing an ingenious comic strip that is giving Al Capp top competition. There are still more entertainers in the old group. LINDA HUFFMAN, a professional dancer, accompanied by LOIS SIMPSON, her brilliant costume designer, performed for the king and queen of England recently. She was surprised to meet the new poet laureate, none other than our own BOBBEE SCHULTE. Linda's voyage home on the USSOS, commanded by Admiral JEREMIAH KING, was delayed somewhat when the ship became stuck on a sand bar. However, under the expert
