Class Prophecy Let’s take a look into the future, And see what it contains. Then after you have heard this, We’ll gladly pick up the remains. Jim Kanuch, the pride of Congo, Is a clown in circus, by the name of Jumbo. Eunice Jenkins wanted to be a housewife, All she says now is: “What a life!” Charles Hall is mayor of Rendville, so I hear, That’s why Clarence is constable every year. And Harrison, the star of our team, Looks at his kid with that same old gleam. Pat Shaw, who loved Chopin, Is keeping time now with an old dishpan. Chuck Alfman used to love to play pool, He’s in the army now—drives a mule. Losey, who was one of our gay little girls, Is teaching others to make those curls. Jack Reho stood by another guy’s gate, One night he stood there a little too late. When Goodwell played football, he made every goal, We’ll find him now on the Highway Patrol. Briggs, who wanted to be a nurse, Is now driving her brother’s hearse. Fitch used to like to take shorthand, She’s taking orders now from a big, handsome man. And Beresh who came from Indian Run, Is awfully tired of packing her son. Latta, the pride of Rodgers’ street, Now is covering a reporter’s beat. Joe Benedict wanted to roam the seas; He’s busy at home with ten hives of bees. Hardy and Love who were going to teach, Now are “steadies” at Mimai Beach. Wemmer is still every lady’s beau But now he owns and runs the show. Judy Young loved to play the drum Every night, he makes quite a little sum. Ferguson wanted to go to Hemlock every night; someone nabbed him, now he’s a sight. Pompey, used to go with all the men, She’s married now and never again. And Titko, who liked to hunt the squirrels, He quit the squirrels, and chose the girls. Chesty and Buty went together so long, They thought if they married it wouldn’t be wrong. Swisher went to college to be a teacher, She found someone there to really teach her. Myers and Vanway, those gay little dolls, Are teaching others the ups and falls. Hopkins and Carmichael both loved a cer- tain guy, Hopkins won, now she’d like to die. Woodruff’s father managed the A P, Guess who’s manager now—at 33. Richard Glass wanted a brand-new car, He’s working now at Doc’s bar. Lue Dunlap, who was so sunny, Is in L.A., making the money. Pat Hillis liked to sing songs She’s in South America, wearing pretty sarongs. And what about Marie Ayers? She found a guy that really cares. On May 24, 1948, our class did cease Next day, Mr. Rodgers was arrested for disturbing the peace. That’s how things look in 1965, To sum it all up—we’re lucky to be alive. By Joe Benedict.

Senior Class History Our senior class started out as freshmen in September, 1944. It was a large class of 42 people. Mr. Jacoby was superintendent, and Mr. Benedict was principal. Our homeroom teacher was, for a time, Mrs. Amelia Park, who was then replaced by Mrs. Jeanette Apple. We elected the following officers: President, Bob Wemmer; Vice- president, Joe Benedict; Secretary, Pat Shaw; Treasurer, Lila Latta. We had several parties, including a wiener roast at the old dam. The next year was begun with Mr. Benedict as superintendent, who was assisted by Jean Dudash, our office secretary. Mrs. Lewis was our home-room teacher at the beginning of the term, and she was replaced by Mr. Brown. Our officers were: Jean Fitch, presi- dent; Betty Bowland, vice-president; Mary Briggs, secretary; Rheba Losey, treasurer. The following class members were chosen to serve at the Junior-Senior Prom: Jean Fitch, Mary Briggs, Lila Latta, Louise Swartz, Patty Beresh, Lois Swisher, Bob Wemmer, James Linscott, Charles Alfman, Jack Reho, Eugene Titko, and Jack Harri- son. Three sophomores were elected cheerleaders: Jean Fitch, Mary Briggs, and Lila Latta. Our Junior year was begun under a new superintendent, William Forshey. Jean Dudash remained as office secretary. We now began to take a more important part in school activities. Our class advisor was Mrs. Lillian Winnenburg. The officers were: President, Jean Fitch; Vice-president, Lois Swisher; Secretary, Mary Briggs; Trea- surer, Pat Hillis. This year the cheerleaders were again chosen from our class—Betty Bowland, Evelyn Urban, and Rheba Losey. They had the privilege of going to State, the farthest we had ever gone in the field of basketball. The class play, “A Date With Judy,” was a great success, and we sponsored a home-coming dance which helped secure funds for our banquet. A queen was elected, again from our class—Lila Latta. Now we have reached our senior year. Mr. Forshey was again superintendent, and Mr. Rodgers was our advisor. We elected Lois Swisher as president; Jean Fitch as vice-president; Mary Briggs as secretary; Jack Reho as treasurer. We gave several dances, and also a carnival with the Juniors. The class play we chose was “Don’t Take My Penny.” As this yearbook went to press, our plans for a class trip were to go to Washington, D. C. 16
