CLASS PRUPHECY One clear night as I was sitting and looking at the stars, I saw mirrored in the sky the future of the T956 Edgerton Senior Class.

I saw Carolyn Casebere and Margaret Ann Herman running a Lonely Hearts Club in Florida called Still A-Prayin' and A-Waitin'.

We were very proud of our beautiful class rings which we received this year. Earning money began in earnest. Our dues were 51.00 a month. We had a bake sale, a car wash, and also presented our class play The Campbells are Coming directed by Mr. Koenn. The theme for the Junior-Senior banquet was Moonlight and Roses. We had a dance afterward for the students and their dates. Our senior year again found us with thirty-six members. Mr. Anderson sponsored us this year and our elected officers were Anthony Muehlfeld, president, Junior Whitney, vice president, Sharon Henricks, secretary, Virginia Reinhart, treasurer, Marilyn Trausch, student coun- cil . Our senior pictures were taken and we received them in time for use as Christmas presents. Our dues were SI0.00 this year. We sold magazines, operated the concession stand for ball games and presented our class play Desperate Ambrose under the direction of Mr. Koenn. Our class was the first class here to sell over SISOO worth of magazines. We feel we owe that success to the wonderful cooperation our class has had through high school. During the second semester some of our more studious members took scholarship exams. Also we selected as our class motto Life is What You Make It. Our class colors were maroon and gray and our class flower the white carnation. Two boys in our class, Don Hug and Bart Kosier, ioined the armed services during the year and that left us with thirty-four graduates. The class did not get to take their annual skip day. Grades were averaged and Marilyn Trausch was named as valedictorian, Juanita Emanuel as salutatorian, and Carolyn Casebere as historian.
