A I N91 Q- NOTE When school opened on September 3, 1951, our class consisted of: Jim Mahoney, Faye Ann Johnsen, Patsey Kieslich, Kenneth Moen, Deloris Forman, Beverly Thomas, James Hach, Elaine Nagel, LeRoy Mellum, Margie Nichols, Shirla Forman, Greg Schmitz, Barbara Gardner, Donna Knutson, Linda Leix, Douglas Anderson, Shirley Perrin, Robert Daney, Carol Walker, Russel Nelson, Colleen Kartman, Betty Tomas and Everett Shepherd. We were initiated on September 11. During our first year we lost Robert Daney and Everett Shepherd. At the beginning of the sophomore year we found that Carol Walker had entered the Highland High Schoolg James Davies, Donna Anderson, and Norean Reuther had joined us. The main event of the year was in- itiating the freshmen. It was with enthusiasm that we looked forward to our junior year. Donna Anderson, Norean Reuther, dropped out of school, Donna Knutson went to Livingston, and Betty Tomas entered Dodgeville. We received our class rings in November. The big event of our third year was our Junior Prom. The theme was Heart of My Heart. The gym was gaily decorated with a solid red ceiling and silver hearts were hung from it. Music was furnished by Gus Furman and his orchestra. The Grand March was led by King Kenneth Moen and Queen Beverly Thomas. Mr. Lindauer was our capable advisor. August 30, 1954 found seventeen senior students back for their final year. Douglas Anderson had not returned and Kenneth Kitsemble had enrolled. Our class pictures were taken the first week of school. An- nouncements and name cards were ordered. On October 29 we gave our class play entitled, Aunt Tillie Goes To Town under the direction of Mrs. Kramer. The annual staff was selected in October. Our class colors were chosen-light and dark blue, flower, white chrysanthemumg and motto, The higher the climb, the broader the view. Our high school activities came to a close with Baccalaureate Exer- cises on May 153 Class Night Exercises on May 183 and Graduation Exer- cises on May 20, 1955. 6 ra, A 4 43 E in N 198 2 5 I , 1 May 22, 1982, the time was 7:45 a. m. This was Um ' the city-New York, on a Saturday morning. The foggy, secluded alley was being inspected by two pri- vate-eye men. They were looking for the 17 lost members of the Cobb High School Class of 1955. Our job was to find them! Our first clue led us to a Broadway theater. There on the stage doing her routine dance was Margie Nichols with aging Fred Astaire. Margie tipped us off to the fact that if we'd go to the new 1982 Smitty Bach Car Factory we'd find one of our classmates. We just missed Greg Schmitz, he had left to drive a member of the 1957 Cobb High School Class home.

We saw that a 1982 streamlined Buick had been run over by a new atom-powered truck. Fortunately the driver, Russel Nelson, was not seriously hurt. As an ambulance pulled up, three nurses jumped out and bandaged Russel. One nurse was Linda Leix. She told us she was a registered nurse and very busy over at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. We decided to go in a restaurant and have a late breakfast. The owner was flipping pancackes right and left. As he turned around-no kidding it was James Edward Mahoney! Business was picking up and service was good. We hailed a taxi on Fifth Avenue. As we got ready to pay the driver we noticed it was Kenny Kitsemble. He told us that in five years he'd get a pension. Since we were old friends-we got a bargain. The rush hour was beginning and the streets were very crowded. We were constantly bumping into people, and we ran into two slowly plodding pedestrians. They were LeRoy Mellum and Jim Hatch. They told us that they had both become prosperous farmers and were in town for the big Rodeo. The heat was becoming terrific-so we decided to go to the Rodeo, too. As we were about to board the bus, a horn was loudly honking. Our eyes scanned a new Belvadear Plymouth with Sketter Moen, a million dollar play boy, behind the wheel. He offered us a ride to the show. He was a pharmacist. The Rodeo was well under way when we arrived. The main attrac- l Qi fl 1 ' Willis l is X fe. I Iliff 'lf :li 151 mms N told us he was part owner in the Skeeterbalm Drug Stores-where he 5 f .iw ix ' In tion had just begun, and we weren't surprised to see Faye Ann Johnson riding her famous Palomino Pal. She had always been a lover of horses. Beside her was the famous movie actress, Barbara Gardner, well-known for her latest picture, The Cowboy and Me. On our way out of the show we passed a stand where Patsy Kieslich was selling cook books. She told us that her best customer was Elaine Nagel, who was now attending Columbia University. Patsy had said that Elaine was planning to be married this summer and was brushing up on her cooking-the lucky guy! We were getting hungry and just happened to hear a shrill voice screaming Peanuts, Popcorn, Cracker Jacks! Why it was our old friend Shirla Forman. Yes, she was married and had followed out the idea she had liked in Cheaper By the Dozen. All of a sudden we heard sirens blowing. A message was flashing over the radio. Police woman, Deloris Forman, reported that the famous gangsters Commodore Perry and Her Partner had just held up the Second National Bank. Our Job! Stop them! As we sped down the highway we spotted the get-away car. With our rocket guns we shot the wheels of the car and it finally slid to a stop. We pulled the bandits out. Oh no! It was Shirley Perrin and Bev Thomas up to their old high school tricks. But since they were old acquaintances we only gave them twenty years. N6 AMES swf -. M., ..., 0 FK v iz- 5 '3o E KWW Q.
