THE FOUR FLIGHT LEADI G TO GR DU TIO The class of 1959 started to climb the stairways of high school in the fall of 1955. There were 43 who started to climb the first flight of stairs. As president, Kenny Myers led the group and to help him were vice-president, Jay Agness, secretary, Janet Sharp, treasurer, Sharron Faw- cett, and sponsor, Mrs. Underwood. That year Barbara Bargerhuff and Mike Zehring were chosen king and queen candidates for the Halloween Festival. To the delight of the class, Juelda Hostetler was chosen varsity cheerleader. Freshman cheerleaders were: Sondra Rickard, Janet Sharp, and Rosalie Yoars. ln the fall of 1956 we approached the stairs leading to our sophomore year. That year David Spangler led the group. Vice-president, Jay Agness, secretary, Joyce Lamb, treasurer, Janet Hed- rick, and sponsor, Mr. Baker, assisted David in the leadership. While climbing the second flight of stairs, we lost Barbara Bargerhuff, Lester Miller, Jim Paschal, Blaine Pond, and Patsy Stark- weather, but Rhea Hoskins, Lea Mosier, and Ann Varner ioined our class. We again participated in the Halloween Festival by electing Janet Hedrick and David Spangler as our king and queen candidates. At the top of this flight, we acquired our turquoise class sweaters. ln September 1957, we continued our climb with 33 members. Again David led the group, with vice-president, Sharron Fawcett, secretary, Joyce Lamb, treasurer, Janet Hedrick, and sponsor, Mr. Palmer, to help him. We were very active that year. We sold magazines, Christmas cards, and were in charge of the concessions. We presented our first big dramatic production, The Family No- body Wanted. Sharron Fawcett and Merrill Martin were our king and queen candidates for the Halloween Festival. While climbing the third flight, we again lost several students: Doyan Riley, Albert Thieke, Lea Mosier, Ann Varner, Waneta Mast, Larry Huffer, John Horner, and Mike Zehring. To add to our pride during this third flight, Sharron Fawcett was elected varsity cheerleader. At the top of this flight we acquired those long-awaited senior class rings. We also entertained the seniors at Honeywell Memorial in Wabash. Mrs. Velma Woodmansee entertained the group with humorous readings. The last flight of stairs was finally in sight, September 1958. With David to lead us and Janet Hedrick, Sharron Fawcett, Jay Agness, and sponsor, Mr. Freed, to help him, we were sure of a successful year. Those leaving us before commencing the final flight were: Loretta Birkey, Elijah Hawkins, Wanda Mast, John Shrock, and Carolyn Watson. We were happy to see Bill Myers, Carol Binkerd, Janet Deardorff, Jim Paschal, and Larry Peters join us. Juelda Hostetler and Bill Myers were our king and queen candidates for the Halloween Festi- val. Juelda was also elected varsity cheerleader, and Sharron Fawcett we re-elected cheerleader. On our second try at dramatics, we presented, Father Was A Housewife, starring Jay Agness. We finally reached the top of the stairs, enioyed the climb, and some regretted it was the last flight in our high school education. To climax the top flight, 33 happy seniors, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Freed, left for New York and Washington.

SYSTEM PRESENTS N WS DF THE D Y The great sculpturer, Sherman Chism, is now working on his masterpiece to compete for the Academy Art Award. Janet Sharp, leading model for Rosenthal's in New York City, has been eating for weeks in order to get in shape for this modeling iob. This is Ralph Brinkley at Waupecong now switching you to Melvin Huntley in Bennett. Take it away, Melvin. An-explorer was found nearly frozen to death today in Alaska. Authorities identified her as 37- year old Joyce Lamb. Although she had six cans of canned heat, Miss Lamb nearly froze to death from lack of a can opener. After many attempts to find a beverage that would not ferment, Phil Lewis has at last succeeded in making a drink that will make the old feel young and the young feel,younger. Lewis, owner of Bennett's local bottling company, received iust yesterday a patent from Washington for Lil' Abner's Famous Kickapoo Joy Juice. Showman Roger Glassburn, the owner of the internationally famous Glassburn Flea Circus, scratched himself to death. Friends report that he had been leading a dog's life. Larry Peters, former understudy to George Mikan, is currently starring with the House of David basketball team. After he ioined the team, he was not allowed to play any games until he had grown a three-inch beard. After three months' useless effort, Larry finally resorted to Dudley Gree- non's new product, Hairback. His major problem now is to keep the beard trimmed so that it does not obscure his sight on lump shots. Two local school teachers, Alice Lape and Carol Binkerd, took leave of absence today to pursue advanced study of nature by traveling. Being fresh-air enthusiasts, the ladies plan to travel by bicycle around the coastline of South America. Upon their arrival back in San Antonio, Texas, they will sell their bicycles and hike back to Bennett in time for the opening of school in September. Merle Birkey, a graduate of Purdue University, has iust received recognition for his recently de- veloped techniques in the field of animal biology. He has developed a strain of odorless skunks which will prove to be the most re-scent achievement to lovers of pet skunks. Rosalie Yoars, first woman to enter the 500-mile race at Indianapolis, has just set a new record. She completed the 500 miles in 35 minutes 33-2 seconds. She was driving the Green Dodge Special. And, now a news flash from Washington. lt has iust been announced that Renee Pond will fly tonight from LaGuardia Airport for immediate assignment as language interpreter to General Merrill Martin in NATO Headquarters, in Naples, Italy. General Martin, a 1963 West Point graduate, iust recently assumed command of American personnel at Naples. The New York Times has recently added a new literary editor to its staff. Janet Hedrick, the ap- pointee, has spent the last five years as editor of the Bowery News, Miss Hedrick will continue teaching debate in the local Bowery school. Nancy Chism has iust put on the market a marvelous new baby-sitting kit. This kit includes: I skeleton key for all refrigerators and 2 bottles of sleeping pills for non-sleeping little 'pills'. The president of the Pickled Peppers and Packers Association, David Spangler, was recently ad- mitted to the city hospital for treatment of a heart attack. Julia Hostetler, head supervisor of nurses, has assumed complete charge of Mr. Spangler's convalescence. That is the local and world news from Clay graduates as we know and see them tonight.
