Class History of 1950-1951 In the fall of 1939, seventeen bashful boys and girls entered their first grade at Clear Creek under the direction of Miss Kohr. They were as follows: Janet Anderson, Fred Howenstine, Doyle Homes, Gloria Johnson, Melvin Johnson, John Kennedy, Margery Lahr, Pat Landrigan, Bob Miller, Crystal Richards, Lou Eva Rogers, Max Schwob, Jessie Warford, and Alyin Wiley. During this year, Crystal Richards left us and entered into everlasting peace. During our second year, Carolyn Mickley, Dale Wood, and Lita Hamm became mem bers of our class. We had the privilege of standing in the corner and in the hall because of our mischievous actions. ln the third grade, we entered a different room and were under the direction of Mr. Keller. New members this year were James Loe and Ned Spath. Pat Landrigan and Lou Eva Rogers left leaving nineteen members. After being promoted, we entered the fourth grade. This year new members were Melvin Homes, Maurice Reed, Frank Richardson, and Clarence Scheer. Lita Hamm, Ned Spath, and James Loe moved from Clear Creekj We entered our fifth grade under the direction of Mr. Lahr. New members were Austin Eckert, and Phillip Zieseniss. Maurice Reed, Max Schwob, Frank Richardson, Clarence Scheer, and Melvin Homes left to attend different schools. In our sixth grade we had two new members, Jack Keiser, and Hugh Mosher. Doyle Homes left during this year. During these two years we enjoyed such stories as Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer for which Mr. Lahr is well noted for reading. After finishing grade school, we entered into Junior High. We enjoyed very much traveling from room to room for our different classes. Lois Lahr and Nancy Pfister were new members, but Nancy left soon after school started. We enjoyed our two class parties this year under the direction of Miss Rawley, our class sponsor. Fred Howenstine moved at the end of this year. Beginning our eighth grade, we had one new student, Carolyn Hite. In the middle of our eighth grade, Austin Eckert moved, thus leaving only eleven members to start our last four years at good old Clear Creek High School. In the fall of 1947, we entered high school as eleven enthusiastic young students. They were as follows: Janet Anderson, Carolyn Hite, Gloria Johnson, Melvin Johnson, Jack Keiser, John Kennedy, Lois Lahr, Margery Lahr, Robert Miller, Jessie Warford, and Phillip Zieseniss. It was hard to adjust ourselves to our difficulties as well as our new surroundings. Within a few weeks we elected class officers with Melvin Johnson becoming our new President. During this year, Phillip Ziesenissleft us and this left only ten members in our class. We started our Junior year with nine students. During this year, we received our class rings, and gave our Junior play entitled Miss Jimmy under the direction of Mrs. Henderson. We worked very hard during this year acquiring enough money for our trip to Washington D. C. in the spring. Having completed our Junior year, we then looked forward to our last year at good old Clear Creek High. in the fall of 1950, we entered Clear Creek High School as Seniors with Darl Stern, Leon Stern, Dieter Grosse-Leumern, and Anton Humburg as new classmates. During this year the Junior and Senior classes put out an annual under the direction of Mrs. Dawzild. At this time, we picked out our Senior play, Lady Spitfire . We are now lo: lxng forward to our reception and our graduation in the spring. 8

1951 Class Prophecy While I was sitting beside the cheery fire in my old home in Clear Creek township on one of those cold, blustery nights so characteristic of midwinter, my thoughts grad- ually drifted to my old schoolmates. I arose from my chair, walked over to the bookcase and took down my old yearbook, published by the Class of 1951. I know that in the passing years some have changed more than others. As I was browsing through my yearbook, I came upon the pictures of Tony Humburg and Dieter Grosse Luemern, who are now the managers of a 1ady's hat shop in Paris. I was thoroughly enjoying myself when I heard a knock at the door, but before I could answer it, Bob Miller, my old friend and classmate, walked in. I had only seen him twice since he graduated 10 years ago. When he saw the pictures in my yearbook, he mentioned that he had seen many of our classmates while he was traveling in his jeep. Bob had just come from the Lonely Hearts Club where Carolyn Hite, as guest of the club, lectured on the advantages and disadvantages of having a farmer for a husband. He said that while he was in New York he met Leon Stern, a world famous actor who is starring in the current broadway hit His Father's Secret . He had just divorced his 8th wife and was in close competition for the title of Divorce King . Bob also mentioned that while he was dining at the Elite 450 Club in New York, the orchestra leader announced the arrival of the beautiful Gloria Johnson, who had just won the title of Miss Universe of l961 . Bob and I also discussed the very famous book that the nurse, Janet Anderson, had written on her love affair with Darl Stern--now a bald-headed doctor. ' As we were talking about the automobile industry, we drifted upon the subject of Melvin Johnson, who owns the Ford Motor Company, and he is doing quite well. Melvin also has invented an engine for automobiles that will run on hot air. While Bob was vacationing in Florida, he saw Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy who was living in a swanky mansion in Key West, Florida. Mrs. Kennedy was the former Joy Hammel. I looked at my watch and I suddenly remembered that it was time for my favorite program, Walter Winchell and his news broadcast. As I turned on the radio, a flash came saying that Margery Lahr, the wife of millionaire Orville Ruple, has been given the award for the best dressed lady for the year of 1961. After the broadcast was over and Bob had departed, I sat looking into the fire and realized how much had passed in the short 10 years to my old classmates of 1951. By Ethelind Keller Junior of 1951 9
