Class History We started our journey through high school with forty-seven members of our freshman class. Our officers were Jim Miller, President, Margaret Goebel, Vice Presidentg and Joan Krill, Secretary-Treasurer. Our only social activities were ahayride andaclass party. We had five boys on the reserve basketball team and thirteen members in band. We began our second year of high school with forty-four members. Our class officers were Jerry Meyer, President, Karlen Day, Vice President, and Louis Meyer, Secretary-Treasurer. We ordered our class rings so that we would have them at the beginning of our junior year. This year we were well- represented in the various clubs of the school and also in band and chorus. Our junior year began with thirty-nine members. Our officers were Jim Miller, President, .Ion Krill, Vice President, and .Ioan Krill, Secretary- Treasurer. This year we looked forward to two events--the junior class play and the junior-senior banquet. In October we presented our class play, Tumblin' Creek, which was a great success. In April, after a month of hard work, we were hosts to the seniors at the annual junior-senior banquet. We chose an Hawaiian theme, and for one glorious night we were in Hawaii, complete with hula dancers and Hawaiian music. We chose our class motto, Find a way or make one, class colors, crimson and gray, and our class flower, the crimson carnation. We were now ready to become seniors. We started our senior year with thirty-six members, but during the year we welcomed one new student. Our senior officers are Jon Krill, Presidentg John Koerner, Vice Presidentg and Barbara Clay, Secretary-Treasurer. The first event of the year was the taking of senior pictures, which arrived in time for Christmas. We then had a magazine drive to make money for our senior trip. We decided to go to Washington, D. C. and New York City for our trip. On March 11, we surprised the teachers by having a skip day. We spent the day in Toledo. This year we had four boys on the varsity, who won the county championship for the fifth straight year, In April we presented our play, Socially Ambitious. We can hardly believe that our four years of high school are nearly over. We'11 always remember the good times we've had at E. H. S. 14

Class Prophecy It is the year 1970 and the greatest Alumni Homecoming Dance in the history of E. H. S. is in full swing. The Swing Band of JERRY MEYER is playing for the big occasion in the beauti- ful ballroom of the Student Center. Everyone is there from the students who went to school in 1950 to the students now attending in 1970. We are especially interested in the Class of 1952. All eyes are on the former VERLA FELGER as she enters, wearing a beautiful sable coat. Since her husband has become the leading advertising executive in the world, Verla collects rare furs as a hobby. DELORES KOSIER is having a lovely time greeting old acquaintances. She has been giving a series of lectures on journalism and has just returned from a tour of Europe. LEONE MILLER has been talking to her. Leone, as you know, is one of the top models in the United States and is getting ready to take screen tests in Hollywood in preparation for mak- ing several movies. FRANKLIN MILLER is going around looking at people and taking notes in his little black book. He is planning to write another book as a sequel to his first, Habits and Motivations of the Human Male. PAT WINES and EVADNE HOPKINS are discussing their recent tour of Paris. They have really made a success of their dress designing business--their originals are being copied by Paris designers. Three instructors of E. H. S. are looking over old friends and students. You'll remember them--ALLAN HEISLER, head of the chemistry departmentg PHYLLIS HARMAN, head librarian Qshe is in charge of 75,000 booksjg and MARGARET SCHOONOVER, head of the commercial department, who will soon be getting her master's degree. DUANE MILLER, who discovered the cure for the common cold, has just announced the opening of his second children's clinic. JOAN KRILL, the second Clara Barton, is to be the Supervisor of the clinic. VERN HOOTMAN, DARRELL HUTCHISON, and CLAIR GOEBEL, proprietors of the H. , H. , and G. Construction Company, are very proud of their first building, the Edgerton City Hospi- tal, located on the outskirts of the city. The hospital staff consists of ALICE HERMAN, head nurse: BARBARA CLAY, supervisor of dieteticsg and MARLENE BLINZLER, head of the pediatrics ward. JON KRILL, an undertaker, and LOUIS MEYER, head of the Edgerton Recreation Department, are having a heart-to-heart talk. Louie, who gives the boys a good workout, also gives Jon a good supply of customers. BILL STRAWSER and LAVON DIETSCH seem to be discussing their respective records in stock car and midget auto racing. They have also set a new record of upset stomachs. IVAN WEBER, a prominent set designer, is helping to set the stage for the floor show with the aid of JOHN KOERNER who owns a small thriving business tuning pianos. WALLACE CHILDERS is arranging the props. He kindly consented to fly down from Chicago especially to arrange it. Wallace is the Dean of the Art Department of the University of Chicago and an interior decora- tor on the side. LEO HERMAN is also putting in his bit by arranging the indirect lighting, for which he seems to have a natural gift. He is chief electrician for Metro-Goldyn-Mayer. NORMA WOLFRUM, the well-known stage actress, is giving a few pointers, too. LEWIS LEPPELMEIER, Secretary of Agriculture, is reminiscing with VIRGINIA DIETSCH, the famous author. Virginia is sporting a new hair style. She tells us that it came straight from Bet- ty's House of Beauty operated by BETTY CLOSE. Well, at last, everything is set. The lights dim and the band plays soft strains of music. KARLEN DAY will be MC --just the person as he now has a question-and-answer program on CBS First on the program is MARGARET ANN GOEBEL, the popular recording artist. She has become professional and makes SI,00O 3 week. ART BECK is taking Bill Stern's place as sports announcer, so he has been chosen to introduce JIM MILLER, All-American for 1965-1970, who will say a few words on sports. Last on the program, but not least, we have a piano duet by the world-famous artists--HELEN LANDEL and CLAIRE HOOTMAN. They have just returned from a tour of the western states. So on goes the dance and on go the lives of the alumni of the Class of 1952. We wish for each of them good luck and happiness. 1 5
