CLASS HISTORY It was one of those perfect spring days when all the world seems at peace and in complete. accords—an ideal day for a walk.. The billowy white clouds formed snowy peaks of every conceivable shape and form in the seemingly endless blue sky. Happy faces grotesque headSj elephants, little woolly lambs-----they all were there, drifting slowly and silentl3r through the sky. Irj a cool shady grove, I found a wide, mossy log and sat down to examine these phenomena of nature more closely and also to rest my weary feet. The splendor of the day was even more vivid- ly accentuated while in my position of repose. However, my contemplations were suddenly, rudely, interrupted by the anoearance of a stranger. He was undoubtedly the most unusual looking person I had ever encountered, Ilis long white robe, reaching to the ground, and flowing white hair and oeard were certainly startling to my twentieth century eyes, but even stranger was the scythe he clutched tightly in his one hand and the large scroll held in the other. As he grew nearer, I could see the lines of age etched in his lined face. From the scythe and scroll, I surmised that the stranger was Father Time. He immediately affirmed my suppostion with his first words, I am Father Time. I hastily arose and introduced myself as a senior at Deshler High School and one of his respectful admirers. After our introductions were over, we seated ourselves and I found that he was quite a willing conversationalist and unusual- ly interesting. I’y first question, of course, was just what he kept in nis scroll that vias so valuable that he never ported with it. why, answered Father Time, I keep a record of all the im- portant events that occur during the years. nothing happens that I don't know about.' It's all here In my scrollJ You know everything? I asked. Absolutely.' he answered. Bven about Deshler IIi'Th School? I prodded. I I mow everything.' 'he repeated. This time a little more heatedly. Twelve years seems a very long time and this, I thought, was an excellent opportunity to renew the history of our class from a most authentic source. All this while he was slowly unrolling his scroll, as if he had guessed my desire for his record of cur class. Ah.' Found it.' he almost shouted. Before I start I must inform you that I record only the more important events: there- fore all my class histories dwell more on the high school .years than those of the earlier school life. This is what Father Time read to me from his scroll: In 19 0, thirty eager and starry-eyed boys and girls entered the first rade at Deshler to begin their twelve years' pursuit of knowledge. Although the years added to and subracted from there original thirty, fourteen members of the first grade sur- vived the years and will graduate with Deshler's Senior Class of 1952, These hardy individuals are as follows: Norma Rush Marilyn Rader, Marilyn Rutter, Jr.not Boulis, Janet Spangler, Virginia Boyer, Barbee McMaster, Johanna Uiedenroth, Roger Hop- Page 20
