We elected our officers: Bob Albrecht- president: Erwin O'Dcll- vice- pres- idemg Janeen Kippe- secretaryg Joan McPherson- treasurer. Mr. Spurck was chosen as our class sponsor. Our activities of the year were a skating party, and a bake sale. So ended our first year of high school. ln September of 1951we started our sophomore year with even more spirit. We chose as our leaders: Jerry Baker-president: Nancy Volker-vice-president: Joyce Hill- secretary: Susan Hunt- treasurer: and Bob McMullen- student council representative. We elected Mr. Owens as our sponsor. Our activities of that year were a skating party, box social and selling candy and pop at basketball games. The Fall of 1952 found us back in school looking forward to an eventful year. To lead us we chose: Janeen Kippe- presidentg Bob Hunt-vice- presidentg Don Mayberry-secretaryg and Jack Knickerbocker- treasurer. We elected Mrs. Collins as our sponsor. We presented a play Hillbilly Weddin 'which was a huge success. As spring wore on, we were confronted with putting on the biggest event of the year, the Junior- Senior Prom. We chose the theme Hitch Your Wagon to 3 Star . The gymnasium was decorated very beautifully in blue and silver. Other activities were a skating party and a pancake supper. In 19523 we returned to school as high and mighty seniors. We chose as our able lead- ers for this final year: Bob Hunt-presidentg Sue Hunt- vice-president: Joan Mc Pherson- secretary: Shirley Tankard- treasurer: Kay McDowell and Janeen Kippe student council representatives. We again chose Mrs. Collins as our sponsor. Many events marked the last year of our days in Columbiaville High School. For our class play, we chose a three- act comedy No Boys Allowedl Another big job was the yearbook. It was edited by the Seniors of 54 . A pancake supper, February 4, was another big activity. All too quickly came the prom and the trip to New York Citv, from May 18-212. There was also Baccalaureate, Class Night, and Commencement. Un- believable as it seems, our high-school years were over. Looking back at the past four years, we would like to show our appreciation to all our sponsors, also to Mr. Bowles, Mr. Schindler, Mr. Naber and Mrs. Smith for their guidance and wonderful help through our high-school years. I5 Class Will We, the Senior Class,of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty- four, being of unsound mind and disintegrating memory after four strenuous years, do hereby make, publish, and declare this as our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former b6Ql16SIS and devises of whatever nature by Us already made. The Senior Class hereby bequeaths to the Faculty of Columbiaville, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. The Senior Class does hereby bequeath to the Junior Class our now empty treasury book and hope that next year you can build up almost as high an account as we did this year, so that you will be able to go on a short trip, maybe a boat ride to Bob- Lo. To the Sophomore Class, the Seniors will their orderly class meeting so that hereafter the Sophomores will be able to get something accomplished when they have a class meeting. The Senior Class does hereby bequeath to the Freshman Class our utmost sympathy, dignity, honestness, brains, goodlooks, etc. , as we know the Freshman Class will get a lot of use out of them. I, Jerry Baker, leave Peg to Jerry Joe Parks, as I feel he has driven by her home enough times to deserve her. I, Bob llunt, will my basketball ability to Bill Burgess. I, Sue Ilunt, will my ability to cut class and not get caught at it to Paul Erwin, as I feel he will need this said ability in the future. I, Janeen Kipne, leave my ability to stick to one boy as I have these past four years to Linda Kayvincent. I, Jack Knickerbocker, will my quietness to Ernie McGaffey, as I feel he will be able to use this ability in years to come. I, Archie Leach, will my regular Saturday night date to anyone who feels he will be able to keep as good a record as I have. I, Don Mayberry, will my hot rod to Larry Morse and Chuck Edwards so they won't have to walk home after seeing their girls home. I, Kay McDowell, bequeath my excuses to get out of school to work to the person who feels he can get away with it as well as I have. I, Joan Mi-Pherson, pass on my given ability to flirt to Jo Ann Palek. I, Clarence IX-loorhouse, will my driving ability to any person who has the courage to risk his life as Ihave. I, Erwin O'DeIl, leave my broad shoulders to Keith Ward so he will be a better football player. l, Emma Roach, will my slimness to Janet Myers. I, Faye Osborn, leave my ability to get to school on time to Joanne Allen. I, Leda Parks, leave my willingness and ability to make tickets for all class activities to June Forrest. I, Erwin Sutton, bequeath my ability to make it through school without studying to Bill Krc cr. g I, Shirley Tankard, will my ability to always have a strip of peroxided hair to Janelle Parks, so she will never he without hers. I, Nancy Volker, leave my quiet and studious ways to Jo Ann Traver as it seems she will need them in the years to come. In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our names and affixed our seal this first day of June, in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty- four. I6 Giftotory To us falls the opportunity of presenting these tokens of remembrance to our classmates and teachers. To Jerry Baker we give these knee pads so that his knees don't get sore when he is talking to Peg lsince s e is so shortj. To Sue Hunt we give this wooden box to stand on, since Sue is the shortest girl in our class, so that she can at least reach the rest of her classmates' shoulders. To Jack Knickerbocker we give this coffee to stunt his growth, so he will be able to go through a door without ducking. To Archie Leach - we give these vitamin pills so he will grow as tall as the others in the 6185. To Don Mayberry we give this marriage license so that he and Margie won't have to wait any long- er than necessary. To Kay McDowell we give this box of No-Nods to keep him awake during the day, since he had such a hard time in Literature Class trying to keep awake. To Joan McPherson, we give this package of gum so she won't get lonesome not having anyone to talk to when she is out of school. To Clarence Moorhouse we give this new car so that it Will beeasier to get to Otisville to see Rosie.

To Leda Parks we give this rolling pin to show Wimpy who is boss, if the time comes that she has to use it. To Emma Roach, we give this bottle of peroxide. Since Emma, is the only blonde in our class she should always keep this outstanding feature. But in case it begins to fade, we hope this will come in handy. To Erwin Sutton we give this P-T boat, to keep his marks above C level, and to keep him sailing through rough waters. To Shirley Tankard we give this list of boyfs phone numbers, although she probably knows them all, being a local telephone operator. To Nanc Volker we give this horse so that she won't get lonesome for King when she leaves for college this all. To Mrs. Collins we give this bottle of red-hair dye to cover up all of the grey hairs we have caused her to grow during the past two years. To Mr. Schindler we give this roll of paper money so he won't have any more financial worries. To Mr. Naber W we give this pencil to make up for all the ones he used to make out all the senior tardy and absent slips. To Mrs. Brockriede we give this box of crayons so she can practice her Art during the summer, just in case she forgets how. To Mrs. Fader we give this bottle of nerve pills in case the Seniors next year give her such a hard time in government as we did. To Mr. Rosenbaum we give this school bus so he won't have such a hard time getting to the basketball games next year. To Mrs. Akins we give this bottle of ink so she will have some on hand when her pen runs dry next year To Bob Hunt we give this dogehouse so that he will have some place to go when he and his girl friend get in a squabble. To Janeen Kippe we give this box of cake mix so that she will have something to cook for Ray. I7 Class Prophecy We, Don Mayberry and Kay McDowell, Seniors of 1954, have entered a partnership in a plantation in South America. It is now 1974, and we had an urge to go back to our old home town and look up the seniors of our class. As we get closer to town, we notice a new road. It is Lake Shore Drive, as we drive along we see a sign which says Lake Columbiaville- fishing- swimming- and boat racing. Coming closer to town,we noticed many Changes in the o1d'place. The first thing for us to do was to find a place to stay, so we headed for town. How the town had grown since 1954- stop signs were re- placed by stop lightsz everywhere were strange faces too. Soon wr- saw a sign Rooms for Rent . When we got to the door it was opened by Sue Hunt. We went to Jack's Steak House for dinner. When we got inside the diner, we heard a familiar voice which belonged to none other than Jack Knickerbocker. He told us Jerry Baker had bought out Bob Robertson and was running his own drug store, with Bob Hunt as his assistant. After eating, we went riding around town and we spotted Joan Hunt, the forrner Miss McPherson, leaning over the back fence talking to Janeen Kippe, her old friend. Later we found that Janeen was now Mrs. Ray Hoskins and had a couple of children. Ffgm Joan' we found that Leda Parks had taken so long in making up her mind between Erwin O'De1l and Whimp, that Whimp married her sister and she was waiting for Erwin to finish his career in the army. lHe is now coaching the Army Football Squad.j We stopped and bought a paper and found by the headlines, that Captain Archie Leach had lost another shipping vessel in a storm on the Atlantic. Reading further, we found out that Erwin Sutton and Clarence Moorhouse were following the foot- steps of General McArthur and General Eisenhower. They must have joined just after school let out in '54, We learned that Nancy Volker is a secretary for TWA Airlines, and that Emma Roach is astew- ardess for the same company. Shirley Tankard, a teacher in the new school, showed us through the building. Still the same old place though---not much to do so here we go---back to South America and the beautiful senoritas.
