The CHARHIAN FEATURE PAGE Woman s Mysterious Disappearance Involves Members of Class of 1946 Plash! This is your roving reporter here in C. H. S. bringing you the latest develop- ments in the strange disappearance of Miss Wells from the Thomas Treloar Home for Aged Indies, on August 15. 1961. The only clue so far was brought to light by Deacon Loucks of the Round church, who while inspecting a key hole on the third floor noticed a piece of paper lodged in the lock, and im- mediately called upon Stud Martin, famed lock picker and third story man. to extract it. The numbers 1946. and the initials W. E. W. were Inscribed on it. When this was reported to police chief “String 'em-up-alive Fields, nhe broke up a promising game of “African Golf” to send her four dopey deputies Beverly. Archer. Joppie. and Brown to delve into the dilemma. It was decided after consultation with the psychic Gypsy Rose Rochester, that the clue definitely throws suspicion on the class of 1946. Within the course of twrenty-four hours. Mayor Moore had issued a proclamation, car- ried out by Aldermen Weaver and llaigh order- ing every member of said class to appear in the new plastic auditorium of C. H. S. before noon of the following day. Among the earliest arrivals were Rosie Riley and Louise Lynd. co-proprietors of a chain of smart dress shops: “Bessie's Better Buys” of New York. Chicago, and Paris. Over in one corner of the room your roving reporter observed that noted architect Keith Frey and his new bride, the former Norma Snyder, are discussing old times writh the Misses Taylor and Granstrom of the Mud Pie Chemical Co., who have rceently perfected syn- thetic nylon hose. Their formula went over big when modeled by the gorgeous I. V. Webb, star of Baker's Burlesque. Well, look who Just came in! It's none other than that Gene Krupa of the atomic age. Harry Sumerix, and his chauffeur. Tom Martin. Upon viewing the situation, super salesman Jack Frey approached Harry on the timely sugges- tion of accident insurance. Mrs. Frey (nee Wilma Boyer), broke up the swindle by ask- ing Jack to care for Junior. What's this? Oh no. it can't be. Betty Montgomery. Venice Parr, and Sue Stucky now known as the “Unholy Three”, are practicing their latest singing commercial for Parker’s Plastic Plate Dental Firm. They were accom- panied at the piano by the delicate Angers ot none other than Boogie Bass Weymouth, the nine-hundred-dollar-a-night boy. The housing problem for this huge group was settled when Mr. Marsh, the multi-millionaire proprietor of Harold's Hock Shoppe , and his wife, that proverbial paragon of pulchritude. Phyllis Goodrich, placed their humble abode of five hundred rooms at the disposal of the class. This meager mansion, bounded by “Sanders Steam Baths on one side, and Freed's Flop House” on the other, promised peace and serenity, provided Smith Smith Street Clean- er's jet-propelled steam shovel doesn’t enter upon the scene. The acclaimed psychiatrist. Dr. Gusto Krusell. Just gave out the information that two of the suspects. Denison and Holmes, will be unable to appear as they are being detained by Kalamazoo State Hospital authorities for questionable reasons. Flash: Miss Wells was seen four days ago entering Haun's Hash House in the teeming metropolis of Potterville. The two house de- tectives. Horn and Hice. being the cautious type, reported the news after a pause of four days. Late arrivals are Elaine Mohre. Bonnie Dur- bin. and Barb Davis, who have re-opewtd the Hotel Stattler. under the title of the Bed- Bug Emporium. Accompanying them are their ace bell-hops. Backofen and Bursley.

Dear Troubled: Your worries are over! I’ve got the best solution to your problem.

President s Message As we the class of 46 pass through the doors of C.H.S. for the last time we look back on many memorable events, such as the maga- zine sales, junior play, Christmas card sales, and many class dances. In anything wre did. the class seemed slow at first, but once the ball started rolling there wasu't anything that could stop them from going over the top. But we could never have done this alone. We have had very helpful advisers in our four years in high school, and now we w-ish to thank Miss Wesche. Mrs. Lipsey. Mr. Paajanen for their loyal support in helping us. We wish to welcome the juniors into the senior class and hope that they will have as much fun and good luck as we did. Tom Treloar. President.

The CHARHIAN Diary of a Senior Girl Monday — Ho! Hum! Another week be- gins and no more dates for a few days. Had fun at school today. Hut oh! such awful as- signments; you’d think we didn't have anything to do. My goodness, when do they think we’ll have time to go down to Bruno’s for a coke? Tuesday—Had to go to school early so I could give a hook report. I surely could think of more pleasant things to do than read. To- morrow is the im- portant day—another date with Jack. He’s so wonderful and just my type. Wednesday Just spent the most wonderful hours of my life. Jack and I went to the show. It was a love picture. Jack and I were sitting too close and the ushers turned the flashlight on us. Talk of embarrassing moments! That beat them all. Thursday—Spring fever got me. 1 didn’t do a bit of work at school today. Went with the gang down to Bruno’s for a coke and talked about our dates last night. Friday—No more school for two days. Went to the dance at school. More fun. There were some cute out-of-town boys. (But Jack’s still for me!) Saturday—(Jot up early this morning and went to Lansing with mother. I got the cutest dress. Mother was sort of mad because she didn’t think I needed it. but she finally gave in. Met the gang at Bruno’s and then went to the show at the Eaton. Sunday—Jack was over all day. We had a family dinner and of course Jack stayed. We went bowling in the afternoon and then to the last show. Had more fun this week end.

Eileen Pundik | Your Diploma is no Passport To a Workless Utopia Well, you’ve reached the end of that long, rocky road which took four years and what do you find waiting for you? A diploma. Yes. at that moment it seems there’s just no further goal to be reached. The graduate who steps into the merry-go-round of life finds that his diploma no longer unlocks every door to the future. Years ago it was a wonderful thing to have that precious piece of paper, but today it just unlocks the door to college. The number of high school students going on to college is increasing year by year. The youth of today must realize this fact and see what he can do to reach his horizon. That college door which a diploma unlocks isn’t inviting one in for tea; it merely signfies much more work. The more work one puts ,into it. the more he gets out of it. For the perfect job. college is a must. The world today is requiring more and more of youth. It’s up to youth to fulfill those expecta- tions. Those attending college can face life; squarely, with a knowledge that they hold the education, and all they need to do is to get experience. Students receiving diplomas should cast their eyes to the far off future and realize just what little benefit that diploma is going to give them when there is so much more to learn. Life demands much more than a diploma for a passport to the perfect job and the sooner this is realized the better off the individual is.
