S. to become the first freshman class of the newly organized East Pike High. Class officers elected were: president--Brenda Campbell, vice-president- Ronnie Hayden, secretary--Charles Grubbs, reporter--Judy Heavner, student council representatives--Brenda Campbell and Glenna Ramsey. At the Harvest Festival Roy Parris and Glenna Ramsey were candidates for King and Queen. We were glad to have Glenna Ramsey represent our class as a cheerleader and proud that most of the boys were active in basketball, baseball, and track. We entered a freshman basketball tournament and came up with a trophy for the new East Pike trophy case as we took fourth place. The highlight of the year was a roller skating party. At the beginning of school in the fall of 1956, nineteen people, now not quite so bewildered as a year ago, enrolled; East Pike Sophomores. Officers for the sophomore year were: Leo Cloninger--president, Charles Grubbs--vice president Frank Heavner--secretary-treasurer, Glenna Ramsey--reporter, and Sharen Mitchell and Brenda Campbell--student council representatives. For the Harvest Festival Charles Grubbs and Glenna Ramsey represented our class as King and Queen candidates. Again we had a trip at the end of the year which included swimming and roller skating. There were nineteen people to enter East Pike in the fall of 1957 for a very busy junior year. The officers elected were: Sharen Mitchell--president, Brenda Campbell--vice president, Linda Campbell—secretary, Bill Smith--treasurer Charles Grubbs--reporter, and Glenna Ramsey and Ron Hayden--student council representatives. Among the honors take by the juniors were: Brenda Campbell and Leonard Wade as King and Queen candidates of the Harvest Festival, Sue Grubbs and Brenda Campbell as Homecoming queen attendants, and Glenna Ramsey as cheerleader. Charles Grubbs, Leonard Wade, and Ronnie Hayden represented us on the Panther basketball team. The highlights of the year were the play Grandad Steps Out and the Prom, the theme of which was Moonlight and Roses. For their last year in dear old East Pike High, eighteen people entered school. Class officers included Leonard Wade- president, Leo Cloninger--vice-president, Glenna Ramsey--secretary-treasurer, Sue Grnbbs--reporter, Ronnie Hayden and Charles Grubbs--student council representatives. At the Harvest Festival Sue Grubbs, Glenna Ramsey, Charles Grubbs, and Leonard Wade were King and Queen candidates with Leonard Wade being crowned the Harvest Festival King At two other royal events, Sue Grubbs was crowned Homecoming Queen; and at the Sweetheart Ball our class was honored by Glenna Ramsey being crowned the Sweetheart Queen. We were proud to have Leonard Wade and Ronnie Hayden co-captains of the basketball team and Glenna Ramsey as a cheerleader. We had a wonderful time in present- ing the play Aunt Min Drops In. On May 9 the Seniors were entertained by the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet- Prom. Dorothy Cloninger and Ronnie Hayden were crowned King and Queen of the 1959 Junior-Senior Prom.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Listen my children and you shall hear of the prophecy of our class so dear On May 26th in '59 Is the memorable day of theirs and mine. Thirteen persons now remain Who shall dream of that wonderful day again. Now Shirley said I think I'll be A famous airline celebrity. When you see a light in the sky so high It may be ME flying by. One if by land, and two if by sea And Glenna on the opposite shore will be Ready to greet and meet with charm And personality oh so warm The passengers boarding their plane Who are sure that they'll be back again. Ron said Good-bye with muffled roars And silently left to do his chores. When a delivery truck you see Stocked with beef—think of me. I plan on farming the rest of my life And have ten kids and, of course, a wife. Said Hank, I think I'll be a mechanic And when my car fails--I'll not panic. So when your car lights begin to dim — Well, why don't you just fog right in. I'll fix it up in nothing flat, It'll be ready--just like that. Meanwhile, a friend at the army post Shouts at the yardbirds more violent than most Till, in the silence around her she hears And stops the muster of women's cheers. Sergeant Judy commands the tramp of the feet And keeps them going in all kinds of heat. He climbed to the top of the telephone pole And then yelled down to his friends below: Peel up here and help cut these wires Or else we'll have no telephone buyers. Leonard works hard to bring home the bread, Because he has lots of kids to keep fed. There's Mary and Betty and Lee and Jean Bob and Ray and little Eileen. He has lots of kids, goodness knows, But Beth, you see, makes all of their clothes. Bill very-indignantly tills the soil, And when the plow breaks he's sore as a boil. He raises wheat and corn and oats and rye, And never sells it the price isn't high. When a slice of brown bread you eat— Just remember, Bill raised the wheat. And when the vegetable man toots his horn, Just remember, Bill raised the com. So when the farmers bring in their haul, Think where we'd be without them at all. Leo decided that fishing he'd go, He'd tie the line to his little toe, He likes to go fishing on his own good terms, But once he struck oil while digging for worms. Now he is rich and his family's clothes Are expensive and fancy clear down to their toes. Meanwhile, impatient and ready to fly, Sonny and Bill Smith are saying good-bye. Jet pilots they are and give up they won't Now you see them—now you don't. The next assignment--fly to the moon Visit a while but return next June. And when they return before next year, Mission Accomplished is what you hear. Linda thinks Carroll is very manly, But somehow she'd rather be Mrs. Stanley. Now that they are happily wed, She has 3 sons to put to bed. Linda thinks she'll be teased no more, But her chances are an odd 100 to four. Her sons are like having three Hank's When it comes to pulling the same old pranks. Brenda, of course, is a perfect wife, She thinks that she lives quite the life. Her mother had 7 children, you see, But not Brenda, her limit is three. Her children are lovely and very well trained And Don a high position has gained. Their cottage, you see, is very small, There's only 25 rooms in all. Dorothy lives in a great big house, But she's still as timid as a little mouse, When an important doctor on the hospital board Proposed to her,--she was really floored. Now that she is a mother and wife, She'll live in luxury the rest of her life. Dean Anderson usually gets what he likes, Because he's the owner of 2 turnpikes. He says There's a highway that I want laid. And everyone jumps--boy he's got it made. He lives a life of pleasure and ease, But he has a wife and 5 kids to please. Sharen patiently waits to be fed. She always, always has breakfast in bed. A butler and two or three maids has she, She struck it rich at the age twenty-three. This is the end of our little rhyme, And it ended up just in time. We are running out of things to say And, also, you see, this is the day When the prophecy is supposed to be in And now we'll get back to normal again.

He finds himself in the midst of plenty of excitement and worried people. Mary Downey, former owner, in charge, worried over how long she is going to have a job, Gracie and Ivy, young guests, worried about finding eligible young men for heart interest, and about Aunt Min, whom they have never seen, but are expecting on a visit. Alex, the cowhand, is worried over his pet cow. The Professor, spending the summer at the ranch, is worried for fear he will find no more fossils. Enough, the colored cook, wonders whether she will ever see the good old South again. To add to the worries, Mrs. Fotheringay, socialite supreme from the East; her daughter, and Sir Freddie Twitchet, who has been tricked into proposing to the daughter, land at the ranch. But the house is not yet as full as it can get--for it becomes the refuge of Slicker Sam, who has escaped and is trying to keep a step ahead of a deaf sheriff. The Senior Class would like to thank Diana McBrian for stepping into the place of Dorothy Cloninger who became ill before the play. L.

SITTING: Terry Holloway, Jim Graham, Linda Wade, Bob Hayden Ted and Tommy are caught with a screen while Aunt Gertrude is reprimanding Mr. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson and Marie are trying to comfort Mary because Chuck isn't going to take her to the dance. “IT’S A GREAT LIFE” COPY WRITE-UP FOR THE JUNIOR PLAY Pretty Mary Wilson, at home after her first year in college, is all agog over the prospects of a date with Chuck, her boy friend. As in all the Wilson's affairs, the puritanican and shrewish Aunt Ger- trude takes a joy-killing hand. She thinks the ideal beau for Mary is shy Wilbert Wiggins, a horn-rimmed bespec- tacled bookworm. Incidentally, Mary's scholarly friend, Marie, secretly thinks Wilbert is wonderful. Without warning, Aunt Gertrude breaks Mary's date with Chuck and arranges for Wilbert to take her to the dance. Tommy Wilson and Ted, his pal, decide Wiggins isn't Mary's type. They bribe Muscles O'Rourke to take Mary to the dance. Later Mr. Wilson settles Chuck and Mary's muddle. With Chuck back in the picture, Tommy and Ted fear for their lives when Muscles finds himself with no girl for the dance. They figure the only way out is for Tommy, dressed as a girl, to date Muscles. Meanwhile, Mary is trying to get a job with the Dumb Animals Bene- fit Society and must convince Miss Billings , the interviewer, she and her family are poverty stricken. Miss Billings arrives and finds Mary and Tommy wearing nice evening dresses. With Ted's help, they fabricate the tallest tales imaginable to decieve the baffled Miss Billings. Amidst all the confusion, Mr. Wilson is having his own troubles. His great interest ls dramatics. He's desperately trying to learn the lines for his villainous role in a community play and, in his efforts, strikes most melodramatic poses. Exciting complications continue piling up plus countless surprises before the pleasing ending. Tommy Wilson: You know I wish you were taking me to the dance instead of Mary. Muscles O'Rourke: Well, you're kind of purty. I wish I was myself!

When the books close, and the last bell rings, And carefree days are lost to mundane things-- When nostalgia strikes, and your memory wanes-- And you re- 1 member the faces 1 but not the names-- Pick up your year- book and leaf it through, And remember the days so dear to you. •i- Class Colors: Class Flower Light Blue and white Blue and white carnations Valedictorian: Sharen Mitchell Salutatoriam Dorothy Cloninger Class Motto: Push, Pull, or Get Out of the Way, 39 ADVERTISING SENIOR AUTOGRAPHS y 0 b r5T cowt X.v 5J2fyje rr SUPER FOOD MART WEST WASHINGTON PITTSFIELD, ILLINOIS BILL K.
