SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY awww over we hopped a Night Owl Cab Plane to a celebrated hamburger joint operated by Natalie Hoffman. Lois Trottman, Rose Weston, and Hazel Green did the hamburgering. The next morning We took a dip in the ocean-as they were having a bathing beauty contest. Frances Wisenburg, Betty Bostwick, Helen Jane Buker, and Mary Miller were the leading contestants. Suddenly we heard a call for help issued by Miriam Freifield. Art Shearn and Robert Thompkins, the handsome heads of the life guards, hurried to her rescue. Harold Adams, Junior Burt, Allan Carnahan, George Cox, and Ernest Grubbs were the crew. That afternoon as we were looking through the telescope at the World we saw 'The Great Ziegfeld' Thaxton Follies just start- ing- with Annabelle Harrah, Mildred Jones, Betty Brown, Joan Bartholow, Velma Payne, Jean Randles, Margaret Ross, Margaret Wilson and Betty Emig making their debut as chorus girls. Since the dance director was Dean Wheeler, the celebrated French actress, Irene Losego, had a hard time keeping her mind on her dancing. Switching to a Golden Pheasant Farm we saw Edmund Bible, Dale Freke, and LeRoy Fitch as caretakers. At the next turn we saw a hospital in which Robert McClain and Douglas Davis were working on the last disease left in the world-the common cold. They were using Gertrude Parks for their experiment. Here, too, was the great surgical doctor, Lois Shepler, now, kangaroos her specialty. At the Bachelors' Club we found Dick Gaynor carrying on his cheerleading. Here were Kenneth Parks, William Patterson, and Dale Speaks as leading members. The telescope featured next the happy homes of Noble Burger, Jean Mc- Donald, Mary Margaret Wilson, Virginia Baird, Marie Arron, Louise Losego, and Ruth Eleanor Roberts. We saw Jane Conner dressed in black, since she found that sailors had a girl in every port. Looking in on a church we discerned Jesse Hagans, Paul Hamilton, Curtis Hartley, Desiel Holder, and Lester Moats among the congregation. Rex Lowe was the preacher. The ushers were Tracey Duling, William Gill, Thomas Kirkpatrick, and Allan Laird, who also took the collection to the organ music played by Charles Pigman. Switching to a temperance meeting we found Susie Randles as head speaker, and Kathryn Gross, Pauline Clark, Ruth Roberts, and LeRoma Su cer as other speakers. Next came the circus. Frances Carnahan was a second Ringling Brother and Maxine Caton was the world's best bareback rider. It was soon we saw Paul Miller and Iris Besst taming the lions. Robert Murphy, the clown, was the idol of all children. Next we saw Mary Edith Martin and Betty Haller in a tight rope act. Betty Hosfelt, Florence McKnight, Wauneta Glazier, and Jean Tish were starred as hula hula dancers straight from Hawaii. Later, listening to the radio, we heard Helen Clark as the Children's Lady. Margaret Cuykendall featured her Advice to the Lovelorn, and this was followed by Lois Porteus, Virginia Penick and Geraldine Rose in the impersonation of the Boswell Sisters. The last hour gave us the National Ping Pong Tournament won by LaVerne Gray. Growing tired .ofthe radio I picked up Gone With a Man, by Betty Hancock. Beautifiilyillustrations were made by McClelland Barkley Swihart, who used'iSuzafnne.Bachert, Kathleen Call, Twila Fisher, and Betty Sharples as models. That evening Marianne and I received a phone call from the World from Sylvia Weisblat informing us that our bridge club was meeting at Gwendolyn Kirkpatrick's and to try to slip down for the evening, which we did. l24l

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY GMMD In May of '57 I hopped into my private streamlined plane to see my old friend, Professor Know It All Miskimen, the inventor of non- wrinkleable wrinkles. As I flew over the tenement district of New York City, I looked down at the flat-roofed apartments and whom did I see but Jean Crawford at her weekly washing-her children waving frantically to the passing plane. Suddenly I felt a jolt and the plane stopped. I looked out to see what had happened. There, to my sur- prise, I saw Leon Darr as an inflated policeman giving directions to air- plane trafiic. It was not long until we were on our way again. Quickly out of an approaching cloud came a sport roadster plane and who was driving at a terrific rate of speed but Carl Siegrist. If it hadn't been for that red hair I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen him at all. On arriving at the observatory, William Graham, my pilot, helped me from the plane and Professor Miskimen met me at the door with my old friend, Marianne Rogers, whom I hadn't seen in years. Marianne and I discussed many of our good times together as we snopped in and out of the various mechanical machines. As we had just seated ourselves on some very comfortable seats in a rocket plane-POOFT-away went the rocket! We were so frightened we couldn't speak to each other for some time. When we looked out we could see the world whirling away from below. CRASH-we had stopped! Stepping out of the rocket, We saw Tom Westfall repainting the word Mars on a sign- post. Tom said he and Bettie Roberts had come up in 1950 and were living very happily. It was not long until we came to a huge palace at which Marion Davis was the gatekeeper. Seeing who we were he admitted us at once. We went directly to the high king and to our great surprise we found it to be Bob Mulligan and the queen none other than Joyce Orr KI guess that romance started in the class playj. Bob immediately threw off all his sophistication and began treating us royally. He first took us to the racing stables and there was Russell Caton, the jockey of Brinky. Brinky was named after Bob's first love. Stepping back to our speedbike creeping at about 90 miles an hour we went slowly around the palace yards. Passing the kingdom's asylum we saw Lady Mac- beth Henderson, John Alden Kinkade, and Priscilla Bonifield hav- ing the times of their lives. We then Watched the planet's greatest baseball team at practice with Sharley Antisdel, Dorothy Aronhalt, Rhea Clark, Maxine Caton, Jennie Evans, Leota Hayes, Ruth Kirker, Laura Miller, and Ruth Murphy as the unbeatable nine. Seeing some excitement down the street, we hurried to the scene of a burning house. Bill Sheppard was the captain of the firemen and Rollin Lumm, P-reston Norris, Carlyle Roderick, Alex Tisonyai, and Harold Parks were the crew. Looking up I saw Robert Popham saving Mary Salvage from the roaring flames. We returned to the palace where we had dinner. Ella Louise Har- grove was chief cook. Jerome Stenner was the court jester, making cute remarks during the dinner hour. . In the evening everyone went to a dance in the ballroom and there we saw Carlos Kempf and John Ehrich with their orchestra called The Last of the Del Mac's. As we were dancing around to the melodious voice of Allen Day singing Look What You've Done to Me, we saw Autumn Ehrbar and Dean Duling walk in. After this selection the floor show started-with Betty Wheeler and Jean Wolfe tripping to the strains of Organ Grinder Swing. Next came John Davis with a mammy song-Jim Rusk playing the part of Sonny Boy. As a final finale Betty Neldon performed a highland fling. After the dance was I23l 954 I

JUN1oRs GWMWD On September 10, 1934 the portals of Coshocton High were once more flung outward to welcome into her stately halls a crowd of grim, yet important-looking Freshmen. They were severely ignored by the Juniors and Seniors because of tradition, but they paid no heed to the ignoring because of the many new and wondrous things to be absorbed and learned. The first class election resulted in the selection of Barbara McConnell for president, with George Johnson, Margene Ehrich, and Margaret Sheeley as assistants. The class soon Won recognition among fellow students because of scholastic ability. The class party was a rousing success, displaying to the faculty and advanced students the emotion produced by pent-up pep and vigor. This class was fortunate in the first year to see both football and basketball championships brought home. This seemed to inspire them with a great amount of school spirit which is still aglow today. As ardent Sophomores those who were selected to serve important po- sitions in extra-curricular activities performed their duties well and proved themselves worthy to carry responsibility. The president dur- ing the second year was William Graham, assistants in carrying the Banner of '38 were Dorothy Miller, Ruth Patterson and Bill Stover. The class party was an evening of displayed talentg the faculty seemed so much at home that even they provided some very extraordinary en- tertainment. This class loyally supported the Hi-Y and Booster dances, gained some recognition in athletics, and found themselves forgetting class boundaries and mixing freely with Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen. The members of '88 placed Cliff Stewart at the helm during their reign as Jolly Juniorsg their assistant officers were Marty Sivaslian, Betty Redman and Bob Kempf. This class ranked at the top in scholas- tic standing during the entire yearg there were Juniors on both varsity and junior-varsity athletic teams. The Junior Play and Party showed that the Juniors have dramatic ability. The musical talent of the girls was ably displayed by the vocal and instrumental solo work, and by the glee club at the annual spring festival of Muskingum College. This class has already accepted the torch and has shown undeniable advancement in leadership, character, and school spirit-all of these qualities lead to a well-rounded start for success as Seniors and for life. Keep them always! ,Q-lf' S'-1-Y Y Y ' ' i MH l25l
