Dick di- rected us through the rest of the building and as we were leaving we ran into LLCYD EEE and NORMAN MELCHI now both ma- jors in the Army. They certainly like Army life because were in the Army when we graduated. But who wouldn't like it as majors. They had some business to contract at the U. N. O. building so we coulde't detain them for long, but they did tell us that they were both married and very happy. But I always thought EVQLVN SCHULTZ and VERNONA ROUSCULP were not waiting around for nothing. Evelyn and Junior are now living in Salt Lake City and Norman and Vernonr travel a lot much the same as we do, but they hope to make their home in Houston, Texas as soon as Norman has his business contracts cleared up. stops to make on the way back that evening.

P'UlP'l'f'Y Since my husband has recently been promoted to Captain in the Navy, his duty called him to do an extensive amount of tra- veling during the pest year. I have had the opportunity of go- ing with him around the world three times, and our travels here in America have been plentiful. Ten years have passed since that memorable fourteenth day of May in 1946, but still it seems as if it were only yesterday that we graduated from Cridersville High School. Oh yes, that is one day we seniors of '46 will never forget. Remember how nervous we were that night, all of us'scared of going out into the cruel, cold world and shifting for ourselves: but that wor- rying was unnecessary as all of my former classmates have reach- ed the top rung on the ladder to success. How do,I know? Be- cause during the last year when we were traveling so much I had the pleasure of meeting every one of them! But wait, wouldn't you like for me to tell you all about it? We boarded one of the jet-proppele? planes heading for Cal- ifornia from LaGuardia Field on May 14 of lest year, We had just settled back comfortably in our seats and I picked up the latest-WFashionn, a magazine for women. Cen you imagine my sure prise when I glanced at the front page and saw that it was edi- ted by one of my old classmates IRENE DnVIS. Her experience as editor of the annual of '46 surely brought rewards. I continued glancing through the magazine and I thought that I should know that face staring out at me fr m one of the pages, Then it fin- ally dawned on me that it was MARY nLICE PORTER. My, she cer- tainly knew what she wanted and went after it.l But then I al- ways thought that she would make a wonderful photographic model- She models the dresses designed by ROSEMARY MAYER an they are the latest creations. nn exclusive shop in Paris is now trying to get Rosemary to design the clothing for them but she is per- fectly happy to stay in America. So Irene, Mary Alice and Rose- mary are working together now. The next time I go to New York I plan on visiting them. A I must have fallen asleep while reading the magazine, be- cause I was awakened by Q tap on the shoulder. I looked up to see flight nurse smiling at me and if I had been standing I'm sure that I would have fainted from mere surprise, because that nurse who was standing there grinning at me was EVELYN ARCHER. I remember how she used to went to'be a nurse when she graduated, but I never could imagine her as a flight nurse. It seemed as if she never was so anxious to go up in an airplane. My how times do change, We talked for a few minutes and she told me that DICK and JOANNE -- now Mr. -nd Mrs. Crumrine -- were living in California. Dick is a mechanical engineer and Joanne is just content to be Q housewife. When we arrived in California the first thing we did was to take a run out to their home in Beverly Hills. Dick had enlisted in the Navy as Q mechanical engineer after he graduated and was now known the world over as the arc- hitect who had designed the building to house the U.N.O., which was constructed under the supervision of SMILIE WOLFE, who is now a famous contractor. Smilic and Lick have formed sort of a partner ship in business. Ye wanted to see the building so we went up that evening. Tith Dick's influence we managed to secure a pass to get inside, Imagine how surprised I was when MARY BROWN walked out of the conference room. She told me that she was the private secretary to one of the delegates. iCont'd over!

Hd' ' H' r X CLA:,:, film IOM There are twelve members of the graduating class of '46 that started school together back in 1954 in the first grade in the old school building with Janice Ritchie CReichelderferD as our teacher and Mr. n. W. Schultz as superintendent. The twelve' graduates are: Evelyn nrcher, Mary Brown, Joanne Low- ry, Rosemary Mayer, Mary Alice Porter, Alberta Ramga, Evelyn Schultz, Willard Sellers, Bud Smith, Gloria Jean Spyker, and Smilie Wolfe. The rest of the graduates entered in the var- ious grades: Genevieve Briscoe in the fourth grade, Norman Melchi and Lloyd Few in the fifth grade, Dick Crumrine in the seventh grade, Vernona Rousculp in the tenth grade and Irene Davis and Gwen Shaw in the eleventh grade. I wonder what it would be like trying to write our A.B.C.'s and counting to 100 now. as we did in the first grade! Wasn't it fun earning those pennies when we did our work perfectly? Our second grade teachei was Miss Cotner CMrs. Rmngal. Remember those reading classes we had? They were the NRed Birdsu, the nBlue Birdsn, and the WBlack Birdsu. Miss Headapohl was our third grade teacher. Wasn't it exciting reading about other lands in our first geography book? In our fourth year of school Mr. Strasburg was our teach- er. That year was one of many events. One of the rules we had was: when a girl was caught talking to a boy she had to sit with him and vice-versa. Of course we always pretended we didn't like it. Mr. Strasburg was our teacher for the fifth grade also. That is the year we all received a paddling for eating candy in school. Uercn't we wicked? Miss Hardin CMrs. Taubenl took over the task of educating ua in our sixth year. We were then approaching grown-ups, for so we thoughtl. The biggest event tlrt year was our entry in- to the brand new school building. My, were we proud, and we still are, of our building! The seventh year meant our entry into the Junior-High. From then on we changed classes and teachers, and also were in closer contact with the seniors. Boy, did they seem grown- up to us. Mrs. Schultz was our math and music teacher and she has been with us all the rest of the w'y. Mr. Roger Downing was our Home Room teacher that year. The eighth grade was much a repetition of our seventh grade, only we were one year nefrer to o r goal. Our Home Room teacher that year was Mr. Hylen Souders, Our ninth year marked our entry into the sacred circle of Senior High School. Our initiation week was a mixture of being a little frightened and having e lot of fun. Our Home Room teacher that year was Rachel Beagle Cschumskeri. Our Home Room teachers for the last three years have been Susanne Gillam, tenth, Mr. Hutchens and Mrs. Bright, eleventh, and Mrs. Schultz, this last year. This brings us up to the present time and as we say good- bye to C.H.S., we can't help wondering what the future holds in store for us. LJ .ff df 'P 'L 'i','Y'-1 . H
