CLASS HISTORY OF '45 When in the fall of 1941 the present Senior Class entered the halls of Ellet High School, they were just young freshies willing to learn all they could about the customs of high school- so different from grade school days. That year the Boosters Club was formed and many of the freshmen joined the club. The basketball team brought victory to Ellet that year by winning the Metropolitan League Championship. When they entered their sophomore year, the present seniors felt even more than one year older and wiser. A review of the various activ- ities for that year shows that the sophomores were active in many school affairs. The boys showed talent in sports. The following boys of the class played football: Virgil Mick, Bob Reed, Virgil Lisle, Bill Powers, Norm Kolmodin, Gene Bames, Bob Daugherty and Earl Gallion. ln the basketball field Bill Corbin, Bob Reed, Norm Kol- modin and Gene Barnes helped to win the Co- Metro Championship along with Stow and Nor- ton. ln the Haromano honor society for girls Pauline Slee, Mary lla jackson, Barbara Henry, lean Blanchard, Barbara Balo and Ruby Echard were the sophomore members. Eight sophomore girls joined the Girl Reserves and worked hard for the club. In their junior year the members of the Class of '45 were proud upperclassmen. That year they took a part in one of the greatest successes that could come to any high school. Their basketball team went through a season of remarkable play- ing and won for Ellet High School the Class B State Championship. This success brought to Ellet the respect of other schools and a greater pride in the little school. On the championship varsity team were Bill Corbin, Norm Kolmodin, Gene Bames, Bob Hissam and Bob Reed from the junior Class. Other juniors, including Tommy Warder, Earl Simmons, jack Knecht and Leonard Lincicome, served as substitutes on the team. Two junior girls, Helen Fisher and Millie Hahn, were cheerleaders who helped to cheer the team to victory. Among the junior boys who played football were Bob Reed, Roger Bauhart, joe Burt- oft, Bill Powers, Don Ormiston, Roger Boughton, Earl Gallin, Earl Simmons, Bob Hissam, Gene Barnes and Bill Steinhauser. First semester of- officers were: President, Roger Bauhart, Vice- President, Bill Corbing Secretary-Treasurer, Norm Kolmodin. The second semester saw a change of officers. Bob Reed was elected President, Millie Hahn became Vice-President, and Bill Corbin was Secretary-Treasurer. ln january the juniors held a Goan and Swoon dance, which was pronounced a success. At about the same time the class chose class colors of green and white. The Class of '45 is now about to be graduated from high school. For four years they have been together as a class interested in much the same things and enjoying the same events of a happy school life. Soon they will take different paths of life. Some will go to collegeg others will enter the field of industry. Many young men will enter the armed forces. Roger Bauhart, William Day, Rob- ert Reed, Earl Gallion, Leonard Lincicome and Donald Hutton have already left to serve their country. Others will follow soon after Commence- ment Day, which is set for june 7, following Baccalaureate services on june 3. After the close of school, Iune 8, they know that never again in this life will all of the members of the Class of '45 be together as a class. Their work in Ellet High School will be finished. CLASS PROPHECY-1945 It was a balmy day in Mdrch, 1965, when I strolled through the door of the huge gymnasium in Columbus to watch the finals of the State Class B Championship tournament matching the Fostoria Flaminglos and, of course, Ellet's mighty Orangemen. As it was an hour be- fore game time, I decided to stroll around and see Whether I could meet anyone from the Class of '45. Hearing a disturbance in the doorway, I went over to see who was there and met a group of grimy looking characters who had seemingly been hard at work. Look- ing closer beneath the grime and dirt I recognized several of y old classmates including Norm Kolmodin, who was high window washer in Bauhart's Putty Knife factory and the only man in Ellet with a 200-girl harem. With Norm was Bill Corbin, who was head janitor in the same factory and sparring partner for Ralph Sumstine, who was now a professional wrestler known as Otto Von Hubba. After exchanging hearty greetings we all went to our seats and sat down to talk over old times and gossip about what other class members were now doing. Because there were many strange things discussed, I decided to take notes, and here are the amazing results. Nina Gooden is still hoping that the fifteen sailors she writes to won't all come home at once and stage a major naval battle on her front porch. Helen Fisher is teaching a school of boys how to become cheerleaders. The school is owned by Bill Steinhauser and, famous as Steiny's Stinking School for Sloppy Shouters, is located in the heart of West Virginia on a beautiful hill overlooking the Hogwood Home for Happy Hogs, which is owned and operated by our old churn, jean Blanchard. Mary lla Iackson, as Mrs. Leonard Lincicome, is co- owner of the Kurtz Lumber Company, but the company is now only a toothpick factory because of Leonard's bad luck at poker. Elsie Antel works for the company freight handler and pushes box cars around the yard when it is necessary, while Bill Powers is chief toothpick handler and is just recovering from a complete physical breakdown caused from overwork. Bill has finally achieved his life's goal of being a complete failure, for which he has been preparing himself with twelve years in college. ferry Wadlington is a retired businessmen residing in his small country cottage of eighty rooms, with swimming
