President-------Walter Gordon Vice President—Paul Burner Secretary-------John Mitchell Treasurer-------Bill Koppenhofer News Reporter-—Donald Newton One of the first things that we did was to choose our class rings from Ilerff-Jones Co. The next project for this year was to choose a class play This was hard because it was the first tine we had ever nresented a play, but we finally chose hill- billy Courtship, a 3 act farce, and presented it October 22 in the school gym. The most important event in any junior's life is the Junior-Senior Banquet, and this was what we were preparing for next. Our class decided to have as our theme something a little bit different from the other years,and so we chose Ching Ming as the tl:eme. We decorated the gym in Chinese style with a rickshaw, pagoda, and a Chinese garden and for lights we used Japanese paper lanterns. After much hard work, our dreams really came true on May when we had the banquet. Here we are seniors,now, and the most brilliant class in school. Our small senior class numbers thirty. A few changes occurred during the summer such as Pat Brown moved, Bob Sliauck entered, and Sarah Fisher haa become ill, and she could not re- enter. We had all been so well behaved the past eleven years that v e decided to really break loose and have fun this last year, and Miss Rosemary Kahle is the one who really suffers be- cause she is our advisor. To help Miss Kahle try to keep our class in order v e elected the following officers: President-------Walter Cordon Vice President—Marilyn King Secretary-------John Mitchell Treasurer-------Bill Koppenhofer News Reporter—-Paul Burner The first problem of our senior year was getting an annual staff elected, and with that completed v e ail had to really start seme hard work to make it the best annual that was ever produced. We then had to decido our class colors, flower, and motto. After much arguing we finally agreed to have blue and white as our class colors, and for graduation the girls and boys would both wear blue gowns with white collnrs, and blue caps with white tassels. We chose a yellow rose as our class flower, and for our motto v e selected Out of School Life Into Life' s School. Before v e realized it, the “time nad come To choose cur Senior Class play. You'll Die Laughing, a 3 act mystery farc was chosen, and it was presented April lq in the school auditor- ium. We then went to Washington D. C. for our class trip and re- turned home just in time for the Junior-Senior Banquet. As we go Out of School Life v e can only wish for every stu- dent cf Be shier as much fun and as many wonderful contacts as v e have had. Joan Osenbaugh Paul Inselman Page 20

CLASS PROPHECY Once upon a time in the land of Forgotten Dreams there was graduated from the small village of Deshler, one of the most promising classes of the century. They Journeyed into the world to meet Lady Destiny. Not knowing what their future was they faced the world with great hope. Each one was anxious to travel his chosen path but yet sorrowful to leave his childhood behind him. Now take your thoughts back to the year 1970 when thi6 triumphant class was in the prime of its life. Let us tell you what each member of the class is accomplishing during his life time. Helen Leveck is now wrestling at the Sports Arena. Her traveling companion is a retired wrestler known to many of us as Nature Boy. Helen's trade name is Nature G-irl. Irene Schvriebert, famous jockey, has won the Kentucky Derby for 3 years in a row. Next year she plans to use a horse. Avis Scholl is now running a newspaper In Deshler called The Deshler Blade . It has a wide circulation due to their ace-reporter, Bob Koppenhofer, who is always hot on the trail of interesting news. Bob got his early start in newspaper writing back in journalism class in his senior year. Television now has something to look at. Lorna Hogrefe, blond beauty of the '50 graduating class, has a television show of her own. Paul Burner, who is head of the shoeshine union, is sponsoring this show, Marvin Meyer has bought West Hope Tavern and is serving the drinks himself. The bachlerettes of the Senior Class, mainly Pat Straley, Lois Spangler, Lois Franz, Marilyn King, Mary Blankemeyer, and Bubbles Rutter are opening up a music store in Homier. The store is to be christened The Music Lovers . If the store proves to be a success it will be due to the fact that the girls made many friends in the Hamler area during their high school days. Walter Gordon, famed opera singer, will appear at the Sports Arena singing in the title role of Carmen. Walter has worked hard to attain this role. Joan Osenbaugh and Bill Koppenhofer were married 5 years ago. But Joan is disillusioned in her married life due to the fact that Bill is not ambitious. Joan is now taking in washings while Bill is working hard trying to get to Napoleon once a week to get an unemployment check. Page 22
