Everyone must be anxious to find out about it. KAY GRIEST and JOE IAUCH are the two considered most like- ly to succeed. That gives them a good start for their first year in junior high. The best dressed couple for the year are PHYLLIS BRIGGS and DAVID SASSAMAN. Take a good look at their appearance and it will be easy to see why they got the title. Prettiest girl and handsomest tx y awards go to SALLY MCDON- ALD and DON MARPLE. This good looking couple help make their class a class to be proud of. Of course, the class steadies can’t be forgotten. It seems that CHAR- LENE BARNHILL and J I M MAATSCH have snatched the two- some title for the year. Well on his way to high school glory is JOE PINCH with his name showing up as class athlete. The most artistic couple of the year are LUCILLE WHITINGER and BRUCE ELLISON. A lot of friends have been made by CHARLENE BARNHILL and RAY NEVINS. friendliest in their class. NANCY JOHNSON, class flirt, and SUE COWAN, class chatterbox, really put up stiff competition for anyone who tries to win the honor for next year. These little gals real- ty have what it takes. There’s musical talent in the seventh grade, too. EDWARD BARTLETT and LUCILLE WHIT- INGER are the two who come up high on the list. The last two awards go to JOAN HAMILTON, class grouch, and WARREN ATKINS, class pest. This concludes the personality poll for this year. Sports Review The end of another year finds us. the class of '53. successfully com- pleting our first year in junior high. We take this opportunity to thank our sponsors. Mrs. Marie Taylor. Miss Madeleine Whitmore, and Mr. Eldred Toutant for their assistance and guidance through our first junior high activities, the talent assembly, and sharing in the carnival at which time Miss Charlene Barnhill was presented as queen of the class of '53. We are fortunate in having three excellent cheerleaders chosen by the senior high cheerleaders. They are Sally Smith, Charlene Barn- hill and Nancy Johnson. One of our outstanding events was a trip through the waterworks under the leadership of Mr. Tout- ant. Many social events have been added to our pleasure. We have had several parties sponsored by j the Junior high as well as Christ- mas and Valentine parties. We are looking forward to our next year in junior high and we sincerely hope the class of '54 will have as many good times as we have had. Pat Wilson. Vice President. Team Officers Seventh Grade !

The CHARHJAN 1114.IIM4.IMS Two weeks ago. In this year of 1968, head- lines screamed of how a terrible odor filled the high school in Charlotte. Michigan. It seems the offending smell caused three teachers to pass out. leaving their classes sounding like a stampede of young cattle. The exasperated principal hired three super sleuths. Dolores Stanke. Mary Lou Simon and Peggy Skelley. The trio, not knowing what career to follow, decided on detective work when they unravel- ed an Earl Stanley Gardner mystery on page 22. To date they have 100 unsolved cases. Af- ter looking everywhere, the detectives finally discovered in the chimney, with. “Placed here June 1. 1948—will explode June 1. 1968. writ- ten on the side, a hydrogen sulfide bomb. All graduates of 1948 were subpoenaed to gather for questioning at one time and one place. The appointed place was the magnifi- cently redecorated Alpine Diner, co-owned by David Fullerton and Sammy Colizzi. The ap- pointed time was 11:00 p.m. June 14. Being eager to see people I hadn't seen in twenty years. I arrived at the restaurant early to get a ring side seat. The first person I met was the Alpine’s headwalter. Judson Richard- son. He started at the bottom and worked up from dishwasher. Assisting him are four cute waitresses Mary Idle. Donna Lou Livingston. Doreen Hill and Barbara Boyd. David and Sam. always great showmen, have an extra good floorshow. The featured entertainer is smiling, freckled-face Duane Schultz. His most popular magic act is the one where he pulls three beautiful mermaids out of his hat. Following Duane's act come the charming chorus girls. Mary Smith. Mildred Thompson and Marilyn Wilmore. They dance and sing to one of Wayne Pede's best song hits. Sere- nade of the Bills.” Wayne wrote the words and music for that particular song ten years ago and it has just caught on. Now it looks as if he has added another memorable song to the long list of great tunes. On the register, listed among the regular customers, were the names of Rae Norlander and Charlotte Sutherland. Rae has become noted for the diamond mine that she found while digging up tulip plants in her back yard. Everytime a new ring is made from Rae's Horatio Avenue Diamond Factory. Miss Sutherland models it to all the wealthy fam- ilies of Eaton county. A party was listed for May 18. 1968. At that time the former Patricia Shiels gave a dinner in honor of Mary Lou Tcrwilliger. Pat married Richard Hutchison, who is the dis- tinguished excavator. Recently he dug up Has- tings. the lost city, from under fifty feet of dirt. The disappearance of Hastings happened in the destructive wind storm of fifteen years ago. Shortly after graduation Mary Lou decided to put men out of her life and take up tennis. She made a success at the game and having won all the cups on this side of the ocean, she will leave for Britain soon. Joanne Willard, the most graceful of all women tight rope walkers, attended the party with her husband and four children. Joanne, still using her own name even in the face of ridicule, has travelled over 57.000 miles with Mitchuin’s Plod Along Circus. Ray Dane came, bringing his newest inven- tion to demonstrate. It is a stream-lined pen- cil sharpener guaranteed to last not for a year, not for life, but forever. This is certainly a big step ahead in education. Clinton Friar of course came. He sparkles all over with new clothes and masculine jewels since he has acquired a small fortune donating a rare type of blood to the Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital. As Duane Rosenbrook. the national politi- cal debater, entered the room he tripped over Joan David's leg. Duane has debated in all the leading cities of the United States. Also, through his mature thinking, he has found an- swers to many disturbing problems confronting our government. Joan David is an exquisite dress designer. Just last week she shipped the Princess of England's wedding dress for the Royal Family to examine. What was that bang? Oh. it was Russell Santee's Model A. He just came in looking all wind-blown. Everyone is proud of the new dam he engineered on the Battle Creek. Russ also devised an ingenious contrivance in the dam that will purify the water for drinking. It saves the city millions. Rex Fredline is strutting in the door with military strides. He has taken a leave of ab- sence from his post in China to be here to- night. He commands the Army Forces there. Wayne Fredline has done all right too. He owns a resort on Bear Lake in Northern Mich- gan. The most elite spend their summers en- joying the lovely view's around the Lake. Tw’o of the most regular customers are Clifford Shults and Gerald Starr. Gerald owns the big department store in Mulliken. Mr. Shults is the chief jailer in Eaton County. There is Peter Kardel coming in. He decid- ed to have a career of speculating in the com- modity market. Twice Peter lost his fortune, but both times gained it back. Superstition, having a strong hold on him. makes him shiv- er in his boots thinking about that fateful third time. The folks are beginning to come in regu- larly. From my seat I can see familiar faces all around. The detectives have arrived and and are directing the seatiug. Right now they are talking to a couple of girls. Why. they are Wilma Clements and Barbara Lewellyn. Wilma and Barbara bought the Faust Manor in 1959. They cater especially to school teachers. Joyce Walter is coming in with her cam- era swinging from her shoulder. She is a dare devil and gets her picture in spite of endless odds. People call her Hash Gun Walter. Over in the corner are Dorothy Moore, Virginia Royston and Gloria Smurr. For ex- citement the three girls moved West and bought a Rodeo. They can ride faster, shoot faster, and rope better than Roy Rodgers. Of course those accomplishments took months of grueling practice. Shirley Parr has just walked up to talk to the Rodeo owners. She married young, and it is known everywhere that Shirley is the best cook in the forty-eight states. Entering now' are Roy Parish and Ernest Platt. They own a Skeet Shoot just outside of town. The establishment's main attraction is the expensive prizes that are given away each night. The best shot is Raymond Radee. He now has five new Buicks with push buttons and all the trimmings. That dignified gentleman, with the slightly grey mustache, standing next to the hat check girl is Milford Mason. He is the owner of a big lumber concern in Canada. Herbert Packard is making his entrance. Ever since he rowed across the Pacific in his Dad's rowboat, he has wanted to be noticed wherever he goes. There are Ethel Platt. Shirley French and Norma Fox Stoye. They trim the trees on the White House Lawn. They also trim male wal- lets. Here comes a group that is awfully noisy. Oh. they’re Herbert Cherry. Douglas Gam, and Harold Smuts. These former F. F. A., members got busy after four years of college and prepar- ed a new variety of beans. This new variety is water resistant, made that way by oiling the stems and stretching the roots. The water runs off the oily surface of the stems and dow'n the long roots so that the bean itself never touches the water. Walking in now are Joyce Ackley. Lola Boyer. June Parsons and Betty Polhamus. This foursome leased a dog kennel up in Maine. They deal only in thorough breds and each year at the National Dog Show turn out some cham- pions. Joyce is the veterinarian. Lola is the trainer, aud June and Betty select the prize- winning canines. There is Carl Bartlett, the very important individual whose hand you see beating the drum in the March of Time” introduction. Behind Carl is his Honor. Devon Wiley, the best judge in Chicago. Devon’s most usual customers are Wendell Wright and Dan van Noppen. the notorious Dead End Kids. Here comes Betty Miller, the famous hair stylist. Her salon is located in Paris. France. This gathering wouldn't be complete with- out an architect and here he comes now. He is Carroll Tharp. Ten years ago he finished his home made from one hundred colored stones. Bill Casey is still very dashing. Whispers say that he has only just married his fifth w'ife. His first three left him for non-support and the fourth died of a peculiar illness. Joan Ball, the present W’ife. has just retired from her job as typist for the United Nations. Jack Smith is wobbling through the door. It takes time for him to get his land legs back after flying all day. He owns three helicopters and hires two men to help him w-ash windows on the Empire State Building in New York. Lewis Kerekes looks scared because he seems to be the most suspected suspect. Really it seems impossible for him to be the culprit be- cause he is a respected Priest at Father Flan- agan's 'Boy's Town.' Coming in are Genevieve Wood. Ilene Par- ker. and Vivian Sloan. Hearing reports that Alaska had lots of men and no women, as quickly as they could after graduation, they packed their bags and started out to catch a man. For twenty long years they have mined gold while their husbands watched. Stately Jane Weaver is searching the res- taurant for an empty chair. She is head speech supervisor at Michigan State College. Roberta Hull, the ace swimming instructor, is telling Shirley Hicks how to do the back stroke. Miss Hicks is the author of the comic book Due Dope. Lorraine Crittenden has a unique job. She put8 the bubbles in the bubble bath. The door is being jammed by al out twenty people. They look like the folks who are in the expedition to Mars that has been publicized in the news lately. There is Doris McClure. She finally realized her ambition to own an art gallery. For diversion Miss McClure is sup- ervising the Mars expedition. The captain is Phyllis Smallwood and she will pilot the lead plane. The unsuitable climate on the planet had Richard King, the famous weather-man. stump- ed for a while. But now' he has an answer. Dick suggests drafting enough bombers to move the planet over to a position where the sun rays will alw'ays shine just enough to prevent excess heat and cold. Ix yal Bergman and Elwood Kelly are get- ting farm supplies together to take to Mars for experimentation in crop production. Art Fox has dedicated himself aud three —16—
