On September 3, 1946, we olimbed into our rocket and aimed it for our destination-----Graduation Day, June 6, 1949-------We have to admit that everything seemed strange and new to us. Especially to those oountry youngsters that oaroe so shyly to olass and were always going into the wrong room. It wasn’t long before we knew our way around and were having parties as often as our upper-olassraen. Boarding the rooket, there was a total of 76 students in the class. Our class advisor for the year was Mrs. Harold Oatley and our class offioers ware: Dean Fox- President, Joe Kilbourne-Vioe President, Josephine Oleski-Secretary, and Mary Jane Lessroan-Treasurer. After stopping off at a vaoation planet we again hopped into our rocket and started on our sophomore trip. We soon had our leaders selected. They were: Gil Sohwaderer-President, Jaok Bird-Vice President, Vivian Martin-Secretary, and Norbert Kapala-Treas- urer. Our class sponsor was Mr. Parker. We were moving faster now. We were taking off on the third lap of our journey. You guessed it. We were out of moneyti So-------------we put on the Junior Play, Almost Eighteen . Also to us fell the honor of giving the Seniors of ’49 their fare- well party, the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. Our theme was Good Luck ’49ers . Mr. Cardew was our advisor and our pilots were Nancy Schwaderer- Pre3ident, Janet Habicht-Vioe President, and Barbara Howarth-Seoretary, and Ken Brown-Treasurer. September of 1949-—seniors, at last, and we are climbing aboard our high school rocket for the last time. As, with any senior olass, we have to start facing some of those lasts --last game, last prom, etc. Mr. Holmberg acted as our sponsor and our olass offioers were: Gil Schwaderer-President, Fred Ross-Vice resident, Martha Martinek- Secretary, and Ken Brown-Treasurer. We have passed thru our last year of our high school career, which climaxed with a 4 day boat trip to Detroit, Toronto, and Niagara Falls. CLASS HISTORY Many of our original number have gone and those who have stayed with us are perhaps a little sad now to leave Cass City High School. Wo are somewhat frightened of what may be ahead of us, but we thank teachers, sponsors, and the many friends for making these four years the happiest, shortest, and most exciting in our lives.

CLASS PROPHECY It is now tha year 1960, ten years sinoe the class of 50 left the steps of C.C.H.S. Sinoe that time I have visited eaoh one or tried to find out what they are doing now. would you like to hear about them? My first stop was on a farm east of Deford where I found Walt Rayl and Marilyn Bohr do- ing fine with a large herd of dairy oattle. While Marilyn was getting dinner for me, I picked up the paper and read where Bnaline Bullis and Ruth Bwald have just returned from South America whore they have been doing missionary work. After that wonderful dinner of Marilyn's, I went on into Caro to pay my phone bill and who do you suppose is the tele- phone operator? None other than Shirley Kritsman. Of course, being a telephone operator she hears the latest bits of information. She said, Just by accident, of course, I over heard Bob Mann accepting a job as Proffessor of English at the University of Michigan. I wasn't surprised to find out from Shirley that Anita Weatherhead ha3 now taken over her mothers beauty business and spends her days winding curls. Coming out of Caro I failed to 3top at a crossing and who do you suppose was hiding behind a bill board just waiting to give some one a ticket? None other than Ken Martin, (he seems to have used his si e to an advantage.) As I drove on through Romeo on my way to Detroit I found out that Martha Martinek has married and they now own a truck farm there. A little further on my way to Detroit, wondering whom I would meet next, I noticed the oars stopped up ahead and a band coming through. Who do you suppose was leading it? Melvina Chase — remember when she was majorette for Cass City? By the end of the day I was tired of my traveling and decided to see some of the night life of Detroit. I picked up a paper to see what there was to offer and notioed Nadine Weber's name billed as top singer at Club 84, but I decided to go dancing instead. Beoause it is so hard to find parking places I oalled a cab, and, as I got in, I was quite sur- prised to see Fred Strong driving it. When I finally got to the olub, the perky little hat check girl was none other than Joan Kanaby. I really wasn't too surprised to find Roger Parrish and his band playing there, but I was startled to hear a familar voioe say, May I take your order? and there in the traditional soup and fish of the head waiter stood Douglas Van Allen.. After a good night's sleep, I was ready to continue my searoh for my former olassmates. I wandered into the Woolworth 5 and 10 store just to look around and I notioed a large crowd near the back. I walked back to find Jim Baker taking pictures-2 for 25 or 3 for 35 , developed while you wait... step right up folks. Who's next? There didn't seem to be anyone else there I knew so I went on down to the J.L.Hudson company as I had heard that Mary Jane Lessman was a model there. I found her there and I also found Barbara Howarth working there as sales woman. She told me she had married Jaok Bird shortly after graduation and he was now doing well in a business of his own there in Detroit. Barbara also told me that she often sees Janet Habioht, who was teaching the 8th. grade at Royal Oak. It was about noon, so I dropped into Sanders for dinner; I was very much surprised to find Leona Whittaker and Margaret Peddie working there. You remember that Margaret and Marguerite Pawlowski were always good friends so I asked her if she ever saw Marguerite. She replied that Marguerite and Amelia Pena had gone into business as artists and were doing very well making oil portraits. ie
