So, being, at present, sound, both of body and mind, we do will and bequeath the following: ' To the Junior Class, our distant seats in study hall, may you absorb all the sunshine and cheeriness to be obtained. To the Sophomore Class, our ability to bluff the teachers and get along with our fellow men. May you be able to do as little work as we have. To the Freshmen, we do will and bequeath our High School education and our ability to run faster than any other class to the cafeteria.

Use them with great thoughtlll Signed, this fifteenth day of January in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-one, in witness of the Faculty, by the President of the Senior Class, on behalf of and with consent of his classmates we hereby declare this document, the Last Will and Testament of the Seniors of 1951. fl f I President of the Class of '51 Convoy High School Convoy, Ohio 15 Senior Class Prophecy Being one of the many who would like to know what is to come and being better off if I didn't know, I am now at Dr. Pepper's Sanitarium ----- ah --:--- Planetarium about to embark upon his famed trip to the hereafter. I am making this trip partly because the galloping poll has assigned me to find out the future of the class of '51 and partly because I am so darned nosey. The room is hushed as I adjust my Buck Rodgers hat and the Professor throws the switch that hurls me into the great beyond. As the darkness clears I find myself in jail. Let's see, there is a sign which reads, OHIO STATE PRISON, Columbus, Ohio. Now I see the reason I have been sent here. Mervin Barkley is still watching over members of the class of which he was president. He is talking to prisoner 13l3l37. Why, it's Bob Edwards. I knew he'd get to be too handy with the cards. Let's see if we can catch a little of their conversation. Merve is saying, Yes, Art Bauer has worked himself up from section hand to president of the O.P.U. Railroad and Jeanne Wilkin has made enough as his secretary to retire to a life of touring the night clubs. Dan Snyder has become the leader of his own band and is touring the country, competing for Band of the Year, honors against the Sentimental Swingsters, who feature Duane Poling on the saxophone. Jim Hyitt and Bob Knittle both just completed top pitching performances in the major leagues for which they pulled in a cool 575,000 each. Herb Wagner, owner-president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is currently in the middle of a million dollar player deal. Dan May is now head of a company that is manufacturing a new car called the Erskine, Just then they hear someone and stop talking until Warden George Klinger passes. After he is gone, Bob asks Merve to continue. After all, thirteen years is a long time to be inside the walls . Well, says Merve, pulling up a chair and laying his bull-whip on the floor. June Bell has become a lady rassler with Max as her manager. Mary Bell and Rosie Klinger have teamed up to become world renown hair dressers. Donna McCleary, has become head of her own Ladies Wear Corporation where she designs many of the creations. Her husband stays at home with the official title of Vice-President-in-charge-of-the-children. Doyt Schaadt is very busy as Secretary of the Interior under the President of the United States, Barbara Clay. Yes, a woman president. Things have really gone to pot. But .Take Owens, who is running against her this year is conceded a pretty good chance of winning, so she will have to retreat to the state of Multi- Millionaire. I don't know what has happened to the rest of the gang and I do mean gang, but here comes someone who may. 16 LeRoy Hoaglin, prison handiman, comes up to the cell and when he is asked what he knows about the class of '51, says, Herb K. has become president of Schumm poultry enterprises. Margie Fawley has become one of the most success ful women in America. She is the editor of two magazines, and the head of the Literary Guild of America. Earl Black has been appointed Civilian Governor of conquered Redland and is now engaged in writing an autobiography. Velma H. and Barbara G. have settled down and married but have both bee come famous in their own right. Velma was voted Mother of the Year last year and Barbara won the distinction this year, and both have been featured in Life Magazine. Well, it was almost time for me to leave and the prisoner's assembly bell had just rung so I thought I would get an early start back to 1951 and maybe stop off to see who the 1958 Rose Bowl game winner is. With a whirl I am headed back for the present. On the way back, I heard a whine which is the last bullet fired in the Korean War. I can now report to the poll that the Class of 1951 has a very bright future, and I wish them all the luck as they leave Convoy to meet that future. ----Bob Edwards 17 Senior Class History One calm day in that autumn month of September in the year nineteen hun- dred forty, forty-three lads and lassies boarded the train named Diploma or Bust. The first stop we made was at room one, where our conductor was Mrs. Reidenbach, Through much struggle and excitement we were promoted to the second grade. We were met by Mrs. Carey here. Our next step was the third grade, taught by Mrs. Smith. The high light of the fourth grade was an operetta entitled, i'Aunt Drucilla's Garden, presented by the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. After struggling through the fifth and sixth grades we boarded the train again for a trip to the two Junior high grades. Our teachers here were, Mrs. Stose and Mr. Edwards. Our next step was to the Freshman Class, where we were greeted by an initiation. We had several parties this year sponsored by Mr. Smith. In our second year of high school we initiated the Freshmen. Mr. Sawmiller was our sponsor. Next came the all important Junior year. First we ordered our class rings. We alternated serving at the ball games with the Seniors. We selected the cast for our class play, which was the first play that had been presented for several years The name of our play was, Three Blind Dates. The last big event of our Junior year was the presentation of the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme was A Starlight Garden. On September ll, 1950, twenty-three students moved to the side of study hall labeled, Seniors. After eleven long years we are near the town of Diploma. This has been a busy year but many things are yet to come. We are looking forward to the Senior Class Play, Commencement, Baccalaureate, and to the Senior Class Trip. Our train is almost to the last station, then we will be boarding another train, named, 'lLife. We hope it to be as successful as our high school career.

After our memorable first year we passed on from grade to grade with Mrs. Norma Carey as our second grade teacher, Mrs. Helen Smith, thirdg with Mrs. Mary Meyer, fourthg Mrs. Rema Mohr, fifthg and Miss Jessie Driver, sixth. We entered Junior High in '46. Besides finding ourselves with a lot of hard work to do. we also found that we were breaking into the social life of the school. We had many good times including a trip to the Toledo Zoo, and a skat- ing party at the YWCA in Van Wert. Our Junior High teachers were Mrs. Charlotte Stose, and Mr. J. C. Edwards. We were warmly welcomed into High School by the Sophomores. This year our class enjoyed a hay ride and wiener roast and also a class party at the home of Rose Marie Scaer. Our sponsor this year was Mr. Dwight Smith. During our Sophomore year we held two parties. The first was to welcome the Freshmen into High School and the second was a pot luck supper and skating party. We sold house numbers and mail box signs to make money. Donna Slane was chosen May Queen for the annual Spring Band Concert. Our class sponsor was C. B. Brown. We have now reached our Junior year and are working hard to make money for our Prom and our Senior trip next year. We share basketball concessions with the Seniors and had charge of concessions at the Holiday Tournament. Our sponsor is Mr. John Hebb. We are all looking forward to our Senior year. we:-e::e::e::ewowe::e::ef:e::e::o::ewe: The cause. not the pain, makes the martyr. ------ Augustine The man who's waiting for something to turn up might do well to start with his shirt sleeves.

Our first teacher that helped us over some of these hardships was Miss Catherine Dean.

In the next five years, our learning becarne more advanced, then all of a sudden we were upstairs. Our seventh grade teacher was lv!! Charlotte Stose. Next was the eighth grade, where as all students before, we were to take the all important eighth grade tests. We did well with the teaching of Mr. Edwards.

The reserve team played a fine game winning in fine style. WREN--NOVEMBER 10--ARMORY The Indians journeyed to the Armory to meet Wren, and produced another one of those games which gives coaches gray hair. The Eagles jumped to an early lead of 14-13 at the quarter, 32-26 at half-time and 40-38 at the end of the third period. The Indians' defense stiffened and turned out a 48-47.win over the Eagles.

Superb pitching and heavy hitting made the result twenty to one in favor of Convoy. Knittle hurled the first two innings and had six strike outs. Hyitt pitched the next four and sent eleven men back to the bench via the strike out route. Wyandt stopped them the last inning. Mottinger pitched for Ohio City, but wasn't quite as effective. D. Schaadt did ten, catching the Indians as Cramer did for the Warriors. Wyandt had a home run for Convoy, Indians pitchers gave up a total of one run and two hits. Mottinger was pounded for twenty runs, nineteen strike-outs. Both teams had two miscues. The second game was just as the first, the Indians excelled in both pitching and hitting. Hyitt and Knittle held Ridge to two runs and one hit. They had a combined total of nineteen strike-outs. The Indians had the same totals in this game as they did with Ohio City. D. Schaadt had four for four, and Gaskill with a home run in the first inning, led the attack. Swany and Goodwin pitched for Ridge. After having the first two games under our belt, we were ready to face the tough schedule ahead of us. Next we played I-Ioaglin-Jackson. It started out as a real pitcher's battle between Knittle and Doner for the Bulldogs. The Indians scored six runs in the fifth and sixth innings to sew the game up. The final scoring was: Convoy. ten runs, ten hits, and four errors. For H. J. it was four runs, six hits, and one error Doner had eight strike-outs, while Knittle had ten. Middle Point was our next victim. The Indians scored early and kept the lead to win by 8-5. Hyitt started on the hill for the Indians and had a shut-out until the fifth inning. Knittle relieved in the sixth when Hyitt developed a sore arm. Convoy out hit the visitors 8-5. Thompson, the losing hurler, had three strike-outs, while Hyitt had eight and Knittle four. Bauer had a home run in the fourth. We went to York to meet the Dukes in our next to the last game. The seams gave way as Convoy won, 18-O. Knittle gave us five hits and had eight Strike-outs in shutting them out Schaffer and Boley gave up nineteen hits. The game gave way as the Indians scored eight runs in the second and eight more rendering the Dukes helpless Our final game was with Wren. Both teams undefeated in five games. It was Hyitt and D, Schaadt for the Indians, Bowen and Turner for Wren. Convoy broke the ice in the second inning when D. Schaadt hit a four bogger. with two aboard. That proved to be the margin of victory as Wren went down to defeat 4-Z. Hyitt gave up six hits while striking out eleven. Bowen gave up five hits and had eight strike- outs. The win enabled Convoy to finish the fall season undefeated. The batting averages: H.

The grade teachers and the class and club reporters turn in their news to one of the Indian Sentinel Staff members and they in turn space it, line it up, and then it is typed on stencils and run off on the mimeograph. After all the stencils have been run off, the pages have been arranged in their consecutive order and then they are stapled together. Thus in publishing the school paper, it gives us office practice experience from the different problems that arise.

Served bullets for dinner so he could pass the ammunition? p Knew he missed the streetcar because he saw the track go by? Took a tape measure to bed with him to see how long he slept? Saluted all refrigerators in camp because he thought one of them was General Electric? Tried to be a vitamin because he read the sign 'Vitamin B-I ? Took a streetcar home and his wife made him take it back? Looked through the screen door and strained his eyes? Thought that mushroom was a room to neck in? Went to the lumber yard to see his Draft Board? Thought Western Union was cowboy's underwear? Poked his eyes out so he could go on a blind date? As he was dying, asked for a chair for Rigor Mortis to sit in? Wore a cellophane suit because the doctor told him to watch his stomach? Went out the streetcar backwards: he heard two women say they were going to grab his seat? Wore pumps because he had water on the knee? Wore himself in two so he could wear a two piece bathing suit? Took a ladder to a party because he heard the drinks were on the house? Cut off his arms so he could wear sleevless sweaters? Shot his father and mother so he could go to the Orphan's Picnic? Poured whiskey on his victory garden so he could grow stewed tomatoes? Put corn on his shoes so he could feed his pigeon toes? Told his wife he was going to shoot craps--she committed suicide because she didn't know how to cook them. Cut off his nose to see what made it run?

There are two periods in the man's life when he doesn't understand a woman--- Before marriage and After marriage. A definition of happiness, as given by Oliver Wendell Holmes, is Four feet on a fireplace fender. A rare book is a borrowed volume that is returned to its owner. When asked if he liked bathing beauties, Mr. Bingle looked over at his better half and said apprehensively: Really, I don't know: I never bathed one. A Tommyhawk is what if you got to sleep suddenly and wake without hair, there is an Indian with. A Mugwump is a bird that sits on the fence with his mug on one side and his wump on the other. Do right and fear no man. Don't write and fear no woman. Gruesome--Father did not shave for a week, and gruesome whiskers. Love starts when she sinks into his arms, but ends with her arms in the sink. Sophisticated Girl: One who knows how to refuse a kiss without being deprived of it. Short story beginning: Two old maids went for a tramp . Lady: A woman who makes it easy for a man to be a gentleman. Alcohol: A liquid good for preserving almost anything except secrets. Hug: Energy gone to waist. They say that high heels were invented by a girl who never got kissed anywhere but on the forehead. If a fellow can drive a car safely while he is kissing a girl, he is not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. Paul-- What became of that unpaid bill the Dunn Company sent to us ? Ellen--5'Oh, that. I sent it back marked insufficient funds. Don Lare: My wife just had quinsy. Mr. Clay: Gee, how many does that make you now? A little boy came home from school with a terrible report card for January. My goodness, said his mother, when she saw it, what happened? Oh, nothing special, answered Billy. You know how it is. Things are always marked down after the holidays. 53 Bellerophon Staff Editor-in-Chief ................ ..... Assistant Editor-in-Chief. . . Circulation Manager ..... Advertising Manager. .
