We all pitched in and helped with the annual Oompah. Beverley Gerdon and Bob Higgs were our candidates for queen and king. We journeyed to Weber ' s Gulch for our class picnic and spent the entire day dating pickles and ice cream and racing up and down the hills.

Our class officers that year were: Esther Schaller, president; Peggy Hatfield, vice president; and Joyce Evans, secretary- treasurer.

536 1 5 5A SHIP PiofeAecty The calendar said that the year was 1962. It was ten years since the class of 5 2 dispersed ways. I wondered what had happened to my old classmates and decided how nice it would be to find out. Going into Ellendale I met two of my former classmates. After telling them of my plan, K ndel Cofell, Lawrence Beaver, and I, Betty Houghton]; started out in Kendel ' s new Rolls Royce to see what the world had done to our classmates. Kendel ' s Rolls Royce barely fitted into the metropolis of Winship, but we managed to stop and see Roger Kendall, who is now leader of the Winship first grade rhythm band. Traveling farther south and west our next stop was Cheyenne, Wyoming, where we were attracted by a rancher who looked as if he had gone ber- serk. Much to our surprise it was Bob Higgs, whose wife had just presented him with a pair of redr-headed twins. Unfortunately Bev was still in the hospital and we were unable to see her. After two flat tires we hit Seattle, and we took an afternoon off to watch TV at one of the local cafes. A handsome, smiling face stared out at us. Who should it be but our ever loving jokester Jack Hammy Helder. And get this Jack was announcer for Campbell ' s Soup ' .!!

Leaving Stanley to his woe, we moved in on Southern California. As it was such a hot day we went to the beach for a swim. Wasn ' t that a familiar figure over there? Why it was Herb Wagner modeling men ' s bathing suits. After a short chat with Herb, we journeyed on. Our destination was Dallas, Texas, where we met Marilyn Neumann. Famous for her trip to the moon, Marilyn was now preparing for her flight to Mars. By the way, Marilyn had developed a very distinctive Southern accent. She informed us that if we went down to the Power ' s Department Store, we would find Verna Kosel modeling the poodle hair cut. o - Motoring on to Tampa, Florida, we found Bob Schonberger lounging in his club. u- He was slightly down hearted as his eighth wife had just divorced him. Bob had reached fame as an author; his latest book was How To Keep A Wife . Going on we cruised by Atlanta, Georgia, where we noticed that the Mrs . America contest was going on. We stopped in time to see our Lorna Maack crowned j Mrs. America . We talked to Lorna for a few minutes and she told us that •1952 Ellendale High School Yearbook - Coleman Museum 2017
