But most of all, we, the Seniors of 1956, do bequeath to next year's Senior Class our beloved advisor Miss Margaret Bullock, whose patient and kind guidance has seen us through the trials of our last school year. In wimess whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seal, the twenty-third day of February in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-six. The foregoing instrument, consisting of one page was, at the date thereof, by the said senior class, signed, sealed, and published as our last will and testament in the presence of each other, and we have hereunto subscribed our names as wimesses on the day above mentioned. Se tayi PnafeAe f For four years I, Helen Klatt, was smitten with anxiety and bright forebodings as to the future wel- fare of my fellow classmates. I grew more distraught as graduation loomed ahead and finally, the day came. Ten years later, now in the year of 1966, I am sitting at my desk in New York City wondering what I should have as the theme of my next book. I have just completed the life story of Chloteel Large who was our former yearbook advisor. A bright light just flashed into my mind! Yes, I am going to take a month's leave of absence from my stuffy but enjoyable desk and venture into the world to see my school- mates. Perhaps when I finish this book, I shall start on the obituaries! I have seen quite a bit of two former classmates, Carol Flicker and Wayne Torman in this metropolis of New York City. Carol has become very famous as Debbie and Eddie Fischer's private hairdresser. Wayne has come a long way with his orchestra entitled the Fifty Sixers. He is really tops on his golden clari- net. He has his own style of knock 'em and kick it rhythm. The orchestra has a contract at the Stork Club. I left New York City and climbed into a United Airlines plane. My stewardess was trying to make me comfortable when she recognized me. Ah, yes, I recognized her also as Wilma Gast. She had always had her head in the clouds so she decided to hoist the rest of her body up there! However, she is still wait- ing for her ideal man to snatch her from the sky and plant her feet firmly on the ground! When my plane landed at my destination of Providence, Rhode Island, I turned to tell Willie goodbye but she was occupied in the arms of a dark haired pilot. Hmmm, he looks familiar too! As I stepped off the plane, I saw a large billboard advertising The Margaret Bullock Story which was currently showing at the local drive-in. When I arrived at the theatre, I was informed that its pro- prietor was John Dyas. He had named the theatre Don Juan's Deluxe Drive-In. They say that things come the biggest and best in Texas, but I am happy to report that poor little Rhode Island has the biggest and best drive-in theatre in the world. The movie really stirred my thought and I caught myself dreaming of the good old days when I attended E. C. H. S. Suddenly a picture of a man who had dark wavy hair flashed on the screen. She introduced him as her former student of Earlville, Illinois. Yes, I heard her correctly because it was Robert Richards. He had graduated from Northwestern with a literary major. He has a lucrative career ahead but I am afraid he will soon be a gray haired, cynical, cackling, old man because he has just been awarded the trophy as the greatest critic in today's American literature. The following day I ventured to Norfolk, Virginia. As I went to the Naval base, I saw a very modern- istic building. The sign read Mr. Flickinger. Well, this can't be the Flick I knew in high school be- cause he detested the Navy, I thought. I rang the doorbell and was overwhelmed when I saw what I saw! Keith Flickinger, what are you doing in the Navy? I asked. Well, it's like this; He continued to tell me that after the shock of finally graduating in '56, he suffered a severe case of amnesia. He signed his John Henry as a twenty-year Navy man and later was promoted to Admiral. Say, do you remember Sally Innis? he asked. With Keith dominating the conversation, I was finally allowed to answer meekly, Oh, yes, I remember Sally. The scene changed to a girl in a trim tailored uniform who was Keith's pri- vate secretary. Sure enought, the girl was Sally. Keith told me that he would take me into town so I could catch my next plane. I was completely amazed when I saw the Admiral's car. The good old green Studebaker wheeled aroun'd the corner and came to a squeaking halt! I felt very comfortable in the car which I had ridden in ten years before! When I landed in Miami, Florida, I came upon a very beautiful ranch house. I saw a man sitting in the front yard. He had blonde wavy hair and was wearing Bermuda shorts, matching T shirt, and the most exquisite pair of sunglasses. I knew in a moment that it was Scott Atherton. Scott is busily retired in Miami raising Hendrik sons and daughters. After arriving in Louisiana, I immediately went to the Mardi Gras. I was handed a program signed by Barbara and William O'Donnell, managers. Barb told me that they have a lovely home in New Orleans. My next stop was Louisville, Kentucky. I knew that Barbara Kukuk was working in a bank there. Sure enough, information told me that she had risen from bank teller in Earlville to bank president in Louisville. I'd call that a booming business! By this time I was very tired, so I decided to wander out to the hemp farms. While walking through one of the fields, I stumbled over someone's leet. I turned around and they be- longed to Tom Bagby. I asked him why the hemp smelled so good and he told me that Howard Hoffman had become well known in the hemp business. He has a fertilizer that comes in five different odors: gardenia, peony, rosebud, magnolia, and violet. Tom also told me that Jim Weekly has successfully taken over the Tennessee Ernie Ford show. I then asked Tom if he was a hemp farmer. He told me No, because he had retired after his book became famous. When I asked what book, Tom told me that he had written the book entitled How I Made a Million Dollars Doing Nothing. That was a shock that I wasn't braced for so I decided to leave. I found a newspaper lying on the ground and as I picked it up, I saw a picture of a dark and handsome boy who looked familiar. Can I be correct? Yes! What a specimen! What bulging bouncing biceps! I can see that he has succeeded Charles Atlas. In this man's course for developing masculine beauty, he promises to make a man out of 'em or kill 'em! We will now ob- serve a moment of tragic silence for those who have taken this course and are no longer among us! By the way, this course is given by Glen Haizlip. My next landing was at Spring Valley, Illinois. I saw a large Neon sign advertising a dance-dive under management of Betsy Kossert. When I found Betsy, she was reading a book entitled, My Highway to Mars. I asked her who had written the book and she told me that Allen Wold had become a very fam- ous civil engineer. Because of Allen's bashfulness, he avoided the public eye by making a highway to Mars. He often sends publications to Earth with his little Mars friends. I rented a car and traveled to Earlville, my home town, which had changed immensely. I arrived at Mr. Hanson's home just in time to find him and his pet cat, Blueboy, sitting on his back porch. While 1 was conversing with Mr. Hanson, he told me that Mary Campbell is working at the Chicago Livestock Yards. I guess she is a number one grader of dairy products. He also told me that he often hears Tarzan- like cries emitting from James Haight as he swings from girder to girder on his magnificent bridges. He intends to make loads of money so he can continue to buy orchids for his favorite girl. Mr. Hanson has kept up his usual interest in his former students and therefore he knows many of their vocations. He told me that Gerald Tuftie is the coach for the United States in the world Olympics at Switzerland. What an accomplishment! I picked up a LIFE magazine and saw a picture of a very pretty girl on the cover. It was a picture of a French nurse who seems to make all of her patients well! The brunette girl was my former classmate, Sandra Smith. Along the side of that picture was another picture of an African mission- ary nurse. The caption told a short story of her love and devotion for the little (and big) native boys. The attractive African nurse was Carol Pritchert. I got as far as North Dakota when I found a former classmate running a dude ranch. She is known from coast to coast as Janice Marshall, the North Dakota cow-girl. Jan told me that we have a trio working in Oregon. Dallas Werner is the surgeon, Warren Sanders is the minister, and Myra Shurlow is the funeral home director. Suppose Warren and Myra make their money on Dallas' patients? Janice also told me that Shirlee Beck is modeling at NARDIS OF DALLAS in Dallas, Texas. Much to my regret, I had to start my journey back to New York. 1 made a short stop in Wisconsin to find Fred Barber working in a Farm Bureau office. He said that he had finally made California a corn state. My next landing was at Washington D. C. I found Patricia Goldman working at her desk. She holds two important execu- tive positions. She is president of the D. A. R. association and is director of nurses at the Walter Reed Hospital. Pat told me that Marilyn Alexander is a top fashion designer in Paris. She also told me that Kaye Conklin has replaced Ann Southern on the television show, Private Secretary. ” Well, I am back in New York and I have left the best for the last. Our classmate, Ross Cullins has graduated from West Point Academy and is very active in government and political work. He is the present governor of Illi- nois and is a very likely and successful candidate for the presidency of the United States. Now that 1 have compiled the data concerning my former classmates, I will enter into a world of seclusion and begin my book entitled, The Last Time I Saw Earlville. Se co 'rtyutfoxy In the early part of September 1944, nineteen adverturc seekers boarded the U. S. S. First Grade for a cruise up the river of Preparation to the Sea of Life. The complete journey would last twelve years with three months of each year to be spent at various places of interest. Miss Holman, our first captain, greeted us and showed us our cabins. She checked the passenger list and found the foUsiiauaMessengers ready to leave: Shirlee Beck, Juanita Bruce, William Butcher, Kaye Conklin, Ruth Hamill. James Barbara Norton, Virginia Peterson, Robert Richards. Warren Sanders. Sandra Smith, Myra Shur- iald Tuor, and Gerald Wright. The captain iioUM «nchor and ordered full speed ahead. We gathered on deck to take our last glimpse at the harbor and spotted two figtffSs waving frantically on the dock. A boat was sent to bring them aboard our ship; thus, Patricia Gold- man and Aflowe Hagefi were added to ojjr crew. The first leg of our -journey went well for the usual storms which tested our perseverance. A few of the passen- gers became sea-sick Inn they soon recovered. It seemed jhat cruise had just begun when it was tif e for our forward continuing the journey.

We had losi Robert Bailey and gained Scott Atherton. Delores Budach. Wilm Cast. Howard Hoffman, Sally Innis. JoAnne Jacobs. Janet jolinsou, Barbara Kukuk. Janice Marshall, Nancy Voga, Janice Blakey, Barbara kescigno, Jimmy and Roger Malkey. Tlte addition oi these new members overloaded our boat but we cast ofT anyway. About half way through our expeditioi it became necessary for us to lighten our load. We drew straws to decide who would be set adrift in a life boat to wait for another ship. Delores Budach, Barbara Johnson, Janet Johnson, Nancy Voga, Janice Blakey, Barbara Rescigao and Jimmy koscigno drew the short straws. A few days iater we learned from the radio of the ship that they had been picked up. during the year, one of our shipmates, Carol Butcher, passed nra¥ j For our sixth stop we wisely chose a health resort. We spent three months quietly resting for we knew ihat there were rough waters ahead, a noiiy vigorous group boarded the ship the following September. Our captain was Mrs. Duckels, We were so adventurous that we persuaded our captain to wander from the plotted course even though there were mauy TttSferons sand bani (r 'V A____________- lXVV. Early in the year Kenneth Blecker was transferred to a different ship by helicopter. We found what we thought was a deserted island on which to spend the next three month . Bus to ooi surprise we dis- covered Mary Campbell who had been marooned there. on oar eighth year we discovered M Q MfDarlene Seward on the island. A Mtlio message to pick OTI Jfi.1 ” the eighth trip we were only a few days from the international date line. A check of the records teveal- Ftfiat the following passengers were aboard as we passed this famous imaginary lin : Scott Atherton, Shirlee Beck, Mery Campbell, Kaye Conklin, John Dyas, Carol Flicker. Keith Flickinger, Wilma Gast. Patricia Goldman, James Haight, Howard Hoffman. Sally Innis. Joanne Jacobs. Helen Klatt. Betsy Kossert, Barbara Kukuk, Roger Malkey, Janice Marshall, Barbara Norton, Virginia Peterson, Robert Richards. Warren Sanders. Darlene Seward, Myra Shurlow, Sandra Smith, Keith Sondgeroth, Wayne Torman, Gerald Tuftie, James Weekly, Allen Wold, Gerald Wright. After we had crossed this line we were joined by Marilyn Alexander, Freddy Barber, Ross Cullins, Carol Pritchert and Glen Hazlip. We successfully completed our ninth portion of the journey. At the beginning of our tenth excursion we added James Goblet to our group. Our trip proved to be very educational as well as interesting. With our added knowledge we chose our next stopping place as the land of the sky blue waters. A very enjoyable time was spent by everyone. When we again gathered to continue our journey, we discovered we had lost Gerald Wright. Darlene Seward, Jim Goblet and Joanne Jacobs but Dallas Werner had been added to our group. Our ship’s calendar showed that it was time to make our last stop before the final journey to the Sea of Life. Three months later we again found ourselves gathered on the dock ready to deport on the concluding leg of our journey. We were only a few months out of port when Keith Sondgeroth was called home and Tom Bagby was sent as his re- placement thus we arrived at the Sea of Life. We will always treasure the memories of this cruise and shall never forget the passengers and captains who made the trip with us.
