Dear Diary, January 1, 1975 After attending the annual class reunion of Eaton ' s graduating class of 1960, I am amazed at how many of the class members have carried out the plans they made as seniors. Whoever would have thought that so many things would result from the Junior Fall Festival? So many of the class members have become teachers that the reunion seemed like one of our FTA meetings from high school days. Emily Gibson and Sue Dunlap are teaching at the fabulous new ultramodern school just outside of Muncie, which was built by the Etonian Corporation. Many of the children of our class members attend this school. Gloria Blair is the physical education teacher, Alice Gillis, the math teacher, and both Sherry Hess and Elaine Poe teach English. Several others are teach- ing in various locations throughout the state. Ruth Ann Whittig teaches speech and hearing therapy in Indianapolis, Caroline Jury teaches elementary children at Eaton, and Ted Studebaker is head coach at Muncie Central. Bill Robertson has become a college professor in the fields of math and science. Several members of the class have formed a growing industrial organization, the Etonian Corporation. They have elected Jim Fuller as their president. Richard Morris is the industrial engineer and Paul Kitchen does the drafting. Construction operations are organized by John Smith, and Randy Presser operates the heavy equipment needed in their work. Joann Gregory, Sandra Springer, and Judy Hutchins are efficient secre- taries in the chic office which Roberta Carder designed. The company ' s electronic engineers are Mike Murray, Gene Swingley, and Charles Eltzroth. Dave Benadum, now a lawyer, manages the technical points of the corporation. Carl Schooley is responsible for the painting. We were fortunate that Fred Whited, Jerry Witter, and Jim Roysden were able to get furloughs from the armed forces in time to attend the reunion. Fred Hollowell was not able to attend due to his assignment in India. He is currently working in this country showing its exploding population better ways to produce food. Another member of the class, Kay Brinkley, is also a world traveler. She has carried out her ambition to be an interpreter for the United States ambassador to the United Nations. Several students have followed cultural pursuits. Christi Duke is now organizing a tour of the country as a concert pianist. Bonnie Loughmiller is employed in a news- paper office and in addition writes numerous articles for women ' s magazines. Carolyn Smith designs women ' s fashions and works as a fashion co-ordinator for VOGUE maga- zine. Sherri Riegel teaches in a finishing school and models for several leading magazines. Most of the class members have married now. Several of the girls devote all of their time to making happy and successful homes for their families. Philena Holeman, Karen Sipe, Vivian Love, and Chris Roberts are active workers in worthwhile civil projects. Other members of the class are engaged in varied lines of work. Dick Haggard is a public accountant and Roger Williams a National Park Ranger in Jellystone National Park. Barbara Black is employed by the government as a police woman. Gary Gary, the sensational new television comedy team is none other than Gary Smith and GaryShonk. Jim Gruwell is a television repairman. Nancy Burres is a psychologist in the Freudian Memorial Clinic. Dick Williams is a mechanic in an Eaton service station. Tom Hart is employed as a salesman for a food company. Mary Witt is a friendly receptionist in a telephone company. Dale Campbell is the first member of the class to retire. I think I will too. . . Tl

CLASS HISTORY The graduating class of 1961 excitedly entered Eaton School as first graders in the fall of 1949. The class was divided into two rooms, taught by Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Reynolds. This was the beginning. Progressing to the second grade, the class learned to write under the able direction of Mrs. Brammer and Mrs. Ditzenberger. As third graders, Mrs. Gladys Wilson and Mrs. Fredericks kept us busy learning the multiplication tables. Advancing to the fourth grade, the members of this class were given their first lessons in social studies by Mrs. Opal Wilson and again, Mrs. Fredericks. The fifth grade teachers, Mrs. Dutro and Mrs. Osenbaugh, continued to drill us in the three R ' s along with music and physical education. Upon entering the sixth grade, we were honored to have the first sixth grade basketball team, coached by Mr. Dutro. The other sixth grade teacher was Mrs. Shook. Thrilled at the prospect of entering junior high, the class chose Ted Studebaker, Fred Hollowell, Jerry Witter, and Fred Whited to head the seventh grade class. As sponsors, we selected Mrs. Heeter and Mr. Bixler. Seventh grade cheerleaders were Janet Duff and Elaine Poe. Accustomed to the assembly, we began the eighth grade by electing Joann Gregory, John Smith, and Kay Brinkley as our officers. Cheering for our basketball team, which was runner- up in the eighth grade tourney, were Janet Duff and Kay Brinkley. The boys on the basketball team also took a trip to Hamilton, Indiana for a week end, where they were opposed by the Hamilton eighth grade basketball team. A tradition was established this year when we took the first overnight trip to Wyandotte Cave and toured Southern Indiana as a part of our history course. Our sponsor was Mrs. Grond, but Mr. Bixler planned the trip. Hopefully becoming freshman, the class was at last in high school. Ted Studebaker, John Smith, Kay Brinkley, Karen Sipe, and Fred Whited were elected to lead the class with the assistance of Mrs. Altermatt, our sponsor. The basketball team was cheered by Gloria Blair, Janet Duff, Kay Brinkley, and Phil Jones Holeman. As sophomores, excitement was aroused when the long awaited class rings were ordered. The officers, Bob Masters, John Smith, Kay Brinkley, Elaine Poe, and Fred Whited and our sponsor, Mr. Huffman, worked hard to make this year a success. Our first real money-making project was started when we ordered a large supply of lightbulbs. Quite a number of sophomore boys were members of the baseball, basketball, and track teams who won the county competi- tion in 1959. Becoming juniors was a big task. To help direct the activities were officers Ted Studebaker, Dave Benadum, Kay Brinkley, Elaine Poe, and Roberta Carder; and sponsor, Mr. Morris. The class play, The Little Dog Laughed , directed by Mr. Marlot Williams, was presented on April 20, after many long hours of preparation and rehearsals. The prom given for the seniors was entitled Oriental Paradise and was held at the Moose Lodge in Hartford City. As a prelude to our senior year, we began selling concessions while the seniors were on their trip. Our most memorable year began in September, 1960. We started the year off with a bang by having a work day, which consisted of washing school buses, trucks, and cars, along with other odd jobs around the house. Magazines were sold to add to our treasury. A turkey raffle, cake walk, and concessions were projects at the Fall Festival. A part of this activity packed year was the ordering of invitations, name cards, and senior pictures. The senior play was Father Knows Best , directed by Mrs. Barbara Morgan. Work days and other money making projects followed until our trip was financed. Mr. Morris and Miss Cochran were our patient sponsors who worked with officers, Ted Studebaker, Dave Benadum, Kay Brinkley, Nancy Burres, and Gloria Blair. The juniors presented a prom in our honor during the month of May. The class of 1960 received diplomas on May 10 after twelve years of toil and a wonderful senior trip. This was the end of the beginning . 24
