Jlijdi School fyotew ul FRIENDSHIP” is the theme of this year’s Vistula. This word has a raft of meanings and interpretations — a lot of them not to be found in the dictionary. We chose this as our theme for various reasons, the most prominent of which is simply that without Friendship” a year book would be a rather meaningless group of words and pictures enclosed in a pretty cover. Luckily, though, through this thing called Friendship” we can more effectively make our Vistula a permanent example of the love, understanding, guidance, co-operation, and just plain hard work that consti- tutes the lives of the students at Fremont School. A friend is defined as one who aids, favors, or approves, and through this defini- tion it is quite evident that we have a world of friends. We have been the recipient of both moral support and financial assistance during the production of the Vistula. As a class we have been shown much consideration from kind and understanding friends throughout our school years. If the Seniors of 1950 will project into their daily living, this same friendly attitude it will aid them to achieve much more readily the success they want out of life. 3)edicatia i To Mrs. Joyce Reed, who with a smile and a kind word has truly shown her friendship toward us, we wish to dedi- cate this, the year hook of the class of 1950. Mrs. Reed, because of illness, was unable to be with us the entire school year. However, during the time she teas here this year and during other years she has been an inspir- ation and a true friend to all of us. 7 fynie+uUy With cMeLpU+Uj, The Guiding Hands who teach us many things including the importance of making and keeping friends.

Setti i GIgAA, cMtitosuf, We entered high school for the first time in September 1946, with the enrollment of twenty-four. As the first year of high school is referred to as the Green Year,” we readily assumed our title of Green Freshmen”. The biggest feature was our initiation which was both entertaining and exciting. Another event was the selection of the Christmas Queen. Shirley Harding, a member of our class, won this honor. Mr. Davis, our new coach, was chosen to be our sponsor. In 1947, seventeen Silly Sophomores” entered the assembly room with a little more confident man- ner than the year before. Mr. Davis was again chosen as our sponsor. Our greatest event was the initiation of the Freshmen. We were also chosen to give the Christmas Assembly Program. Seventeen members again were present when roll call was taken for our Junior year and we soon lived up to our title of Jolly Juniors”. Miss Davis was our advisor. Several great events happened this year. The first was sponsoring a magazine drive to gain money for entertaining the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet. This banquet was held at Potawatomi Inn, Pokagon State Park, on April 22. We also selected our class rings from Jostcn’s, to be delivered at the beginning of our Senior year. We then gave our Junior Class Play entitled A Little Honey”. Mrs. Clark helped us to make this play a great success. In September, 1949, sixteen Sophisticated Se- niors” enrolled under the sponsorship of Mrs. Joyce Reed. We deeply regret that she was forced to resign later in the year because of illness. At the first of the year we received our class rings. We then had our graduation pictures taken. In November we presented our class play entitled Take Your Medicine,” which was a huge success. In April, we were entertained at Potawatomi Inn in Pokagon State Park by the Juniors. We wish to thank them for the lovely time we had. The last and greatest event of the year was the receiving of our diplomas. We are bidding you farewell as we are now ready for our great new life. We as a class shall try to fol- low our motto: With the ropes of the past, We will ring the bells of the future.” SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Left to riirht—Richard Baker. Student Council; Shirley Harding.

BAKER, TRUSTEE jju+tiosi GIgAA In the fall of 1948 thirty-two Green Fresh- men” entered high school. Thanks to the Sophomores, we entered right on schedule for we were initiated on October 16. Class officers in our freshmen year were: Chris- tine Frahm, President; Barbara Loucks, Vice-Presi- dent; Dorothy Smart, Secretary-Treasurer; and Joan Abbott and Jerrie Somers were our representatives on the Student Council. We chose Mr. Mitchell as our sponsor. The next fall we changed our title of Green Freshmen” to Silly Sophomores.” This year we were the ones to enjoy the initiation as we passed our ideas down the line, when we welcomed the freshmen into high school. Mr. Latier was chosen as our sponsor this year. Our class officers were as follows: Dorothy Smart, President; Barbara Loucks, Vice-President; Kenneth Leland, Secretary-Treasurer. Our Student Council representatives were Joan Abbott and George Baird. We have now reached high enough to attain the title of Jolly Juniors”. Our class has gained a new member, Paul Cramer, from the Buckeye State of Ohio. We hope he will enjoy his life in F. H. S. Many of the boys are on the teams. They are as follows: George Baird, Kenneth Leland, Bill Peeler, Bob Brown, Fred Binkley, and Paul Cramer. We are proud to have such excellent representation from our class and are also proud of the fine work the boys did all season. Barbara Loucks, from our class, was elected as cheerleader. This is her second year of leading the basketball fans. We selected a young and single man for our sponsor this year, Mr. Stiles. The class officers are: Joan Abbott, President; June Keyes, Vice-President; Christine Frahm, Secretary-Treasurer; Barbara Loucks and George Baird, Student Council represen- tatives. Janice McNaughton and Wilma Rakestraw are the canteen managers with Dorothy Smart and Cora Lea Grcenawalt as assistants. The two most important events of the year were the Junior Class play, given in April, and the Junior- Senior Reception, held at Potawatomi Inn, April 21. We shall return next year as Sophisticated Se- niors” for our last year in high school.

Last year thirty-six freshmen were officially welcomed into High School by the class of 51” on November 8th. By the end of the semester this number had dropped to thirty-one. We chose Mr. Mitchell as our sponsor, and our officers were: President, Richard Chapin; Vice-President, Bob Burch; Secretary-Treasurer, Arden Berry. Phyllis Beams and Jack Sprague did a good job as our Student Council members. Several boys took part in baseball and basketball. When wc entered school as sophomores we found that we had gained two new members; Judy Myers and Jack Lantz, but also we had lost Helen Smith and Lucille Birchfield. This year it was our turn to do the initiating. We hope the freshmen enjoyed it as much as wc did. Our sponsor was Mrs. Clark and our officers were: President, Arden Berry; Vice- President, Bob Burch; Secretary-Treasurer, Julee Mitchell; with Phyllis Beams and Lester Peeler as Student Council members. We are proud to have Blaine Harding, Perry Stauffer and Richard Chapin on the first team in basketball. Other members of our class took part in chorus, band, G.A.A., and F. F. A.

First came the election of class officers and our class sponsor. They were as follows: President, Graham Sellers; Vice-President, Joyce Booth; Secretary-Treasurer, Janis Baird; Student Council, Don Meeks and Ann Hadley. Mr. Latier was chosen as our class sponsor. Next came the day when we were officially made the Green Freshmen”. The Sophomores really had us in suspense concerning the rapidly arriving initiation. On October 14th we were all dressed up and were made to go through many funny little tricks. It didn’t last long and was quite easy. We wish to thank the Sophomores for the fun-packed party following the initiation. Many members of our class took part in school activities. Those participating in basketball were: John Gary, Larry Chapin, Graham Sellers, Roger Burlingame, Lee Coler, Jerry Kaiser, Rolland Peterson, Tom Berry, and Wendell Burk. We have been well repre- sented in the yell-leading profession. Janis Baird was elected as one of the high school yell leaders. Don Meeks represented our class in the band, and many of our group were members of the high school chorus. All the girls in the Freshman class were in G. A. A. Most of the boys were in F. F. A. We wish to thank the high school teachers for helping us adjust ourselves to the ways of life in Fremont High School.

Mention the words coach and team around this school and you will be in for a conversation two miles long. Everyone from the first to the twelfth grades is interested and very proud of our coaches and different athletic teams. They are our symbols of sportsmanship and fair play which we will remem- ber throughout our lives. We have been especially interested in supporting our athletic teams and participating in sports this year. The excitement of this year’s games will be a thrilling and lifelong memory. TRACK Track, a rather new sport at F. H. S., proved to be very interesting this past year. A number of boys were consistent winners in nearly every track meet. Stafford placed first always in the mile-run and did just as well in the half-mile by winning first place in this event also. Bob Harding won honors in the broad jump and high hurdles in many meets. Keyes represented us in the low hurdles and brought home ribbons in this event. Lawrence and Lynn Garman showed their ability by participating in the mile and a half mile runs. Lynn also did some pole- vaulting. Baird was top pole-vaulting man on our team and also participated in high jump, broad jump, and half mile relay. Those participating in track were as follows: Jack Sprague, Perry Stauffer, Blaine Harding, Shel- don Malone, Bill Snyder, Bob Burch, Jerry Crawford, Roger Follett, Lester Peeler, Bill Wilcox, Jim Gary, Grover Oyler, Lynn Garman, Lawrence Garman, Dick Baker, LaMar Vose, Bill Peeler, Kenny Leland, George Baird, Bob Brown, Fred Binkley, Maynard TRACK SCHEDULE Meet PI.

At the Goshen relays Stafford placed second in the mile and Schultz of Butler placed first, but the next four times these two met, Stafford showed his speed by placing first each time. Participating in the Medley Relay were LaMar Vose, Bud Keyes, Law- rence Garman, and Maynard Stafford. These boys won third place in their event. When Coach Davis took Maynard to the Sectional at Elkhart and the Regional at Kokomo, he again showed his ability and speed by placing first at both meets. Stafford placed eight in the State meet and won a scholarship to Drake University. In the meet at Butler, Stafford also set a new school record by running the mile in 4:37.5. The interest in track at Fremont is increasing, and installation of a new track is an accomplishment of 1949-50. We hope the interest continues, and that we may develop other men outstanding in track and field events. BASEBALL—1949 SCHEDULE Sept. 9 Fremont 3—Flint 1 T Sept. 14 Fremont 2 P.

The 49 graduating class took most of our squad, leaving only a few experienced players around which our 49-50 baseball team could be built. Consequently the team lacked the poise and know-how” of seasoned players. The Eagles started the season on the right foot by dropping Flint 3-1. Then the Eagles’ first defeat came when they met the P. Lake squad and were defeated 5-2. Ham- ilton and Scott Center both had a tough time passing the Eagles but managed to squeeze past them, Scott winning 3-2; and Hamilton nipping us 2-1. Two more defeats were chalked up against the Eagles by Salem Center and Orland. The Eagles ended the season as they started it—with victory—by whirling past Metz, 18-2. In spite of the scores. Coach Davis and his boys never gave up; keeping up the Fremont Spirit” they fought to the end. Having a years experience and most of the Eagle squad back next season, we are expecting to have a better record next year. Lots of luck to Vose and Stafford, who will be lost to the team by graduation. Good luck. Eagles!!

Although the boys did not win the majority of their games as far as the score was concerned, they usually came through rating very high in teamwork and sportsmanship. With the fighting spirit, fair play, and team work the Reserves and Coach Davis maintain, we are looking forward to a victorious Reserve team next year and another hard-to-beat Eagle squad in the very near future. Good Luck, boys, and keep up that spirit when you put on those varsity uni- forms. YELL LEADERS The Eagles and fans will not forget the fine work of our cheerleaders, Shirley Hard- ing, Janis Baird, and Barbara Loucks. They were very effective when the Eagles were be- hind and needed the spurring on of the loyal fans, as well as when our teams were in the lead.

VasuUy a JzetLall As the 1949-50 basketball season came to a close, the Eagles again possessed a fine record. They not only had a very good record as far as wins and losses go, but also an excellent record in sportsmanship and fair play. With only one regular back from last year, Coach Davis was faced with the huge problem of building a new and winning varsity team to uphold our previous records and championships. This team was to be built around this one regular and seven second team players. As the season progressed we found we had another powerful team which was only possible through the team members’ co-operation and their ever-fighting spirit. Fremont had not been expected to have another strong team this year, but as we met the various teams, on the usual tough schedule, they began to realize that our boys were no longer second team players but hard fighting varsity men. This was an unusual year as most teams in this area were exceptionally strong. In spite of this competition the Eagles’ wins were over the five hundred mark and the games we did lose were by only a few points or in overtimes, proving the ability of this new team. With this year’s ex- perience we should be cheering another powerful Eagle team on to many victories next year. LaMar Vose and Richard Baker were the only seniors on the varsity squad this year. The eight boys we so proudly call the Eagles of 1949-50” are; LaMar Vose, Senior, Richard Baker, Senior, Bill Peeler, Junior, Kenny Leland, Junior, George Baird, Junior, Blaine Harding Sophomore, Richard Chapin Sophomore, Perry Stauffer Sophomore. We the graduating seniors of 1949-50, are wishing next year’s team loads of luck and are hoping to see you at the Regional next spring. Keep up that sportsmanship and fair play and you’ll always be rated The Best.” The Eagles all wish to express their thanks to Coach Davis for his excellent coach- ing and guidance. This Page Is Sponsored By: FREMONT LUMBER COAL CO. Page Thirty-three Coach Davis (Dun Gooch From the first year (1947) that Coach Davis came to Fre- mont High, he has guided both the varsity and reserve teams to many victories and championships. To the fans and spectators Mr. Davis appears to be just an excellent coach, but to the boys on the team he is more like a big brother or a protecting parent than just a coach. He cor- rects their errors and offers much constructive criticism, which is always needed, and he is always ready to give credit where credit is due. Under his very able supervision the boys develop fair play, skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The students of Fremont, and everyone else who knows our Coach Davis, agree — he's a very good coach and a wonderful guy. Good luck in your future years of coaching, Mr. Davis.” (Dun. 7earn LaMAR VOSE (Doc) Senior— This was Doc’s first year on the varsity squad. Being a tough man under the basket in basketball and a valuable baseball player, it will be difficult to fill the vacancies he will leave this year. The team says So long” and lots of luck, Doc.” RICHARD BAKER (Dick) Senior— Although Dick didn’t get to start, he was one of those dependable men who are always ready to go and could fill his position well. Good luck in future years, Dick. GEORGE BAIRD (Cookie) Junior— With one year’s experience on the first team be- hind him. Cookie again proved to be most valuable as our pitcher in baseball and as a high-scoring guard in basketball. The graduating Eagles wish him all the luck there is for next year. KENNETH LELAND (Kenny) Junior— As his first year on the squad Kenny proved to be a very dependable man both on the hardwood and diamond. When it came to scoring Kenny rated high in both sports. Good luck next year, Kenny! WILLIAM PEELER (Big Bill) Junior— This was Bill’s first year on the team. In spite of lack of experience he proved to be an outstanding player. With his height in there rebounding, the team ought to go places next year. To Bill, the graduating Eagles also say, Best of luck next year.” BLAINE HARDING (Brain) Sophomore— This was Blaine’s first year on the varsity and proved to be a very active one. He was behind the plate in baseball but out front in basketball with his spectacular long shots. Keep up that fight and speed, Blaine.” RICHARD CHAPIN (Sleepy) Sophomore- Sleepy didn’t get to start every game but he was an important cog in the teams’ play. He should prove to be a valuable man on next year’s team. Good luck in the future, Dick. PERRY STAUFFER (Lover-Boy) Sophomore— With a little more experience Perry should prove a real asset to the team next year. Although not a member of the starting five he saw quite a bit of action this season. We all wish you the best of luck next year, Perry.

All of the boys looked good defensively, as both our pitching and fielding were strong. Probably our weakness was our hitting, as we failed to hit against extremely good pitching. Several of the boys will be back next year, so we have hopes for another good season. However we shall miss the boys who go into high school next year, but we wish them lots of luck. BASKETBALL Closing a successful season, the Palefaces regained the County Championship title. Although hard pressed in all their tourney games, the Palefaces eked out a couple of close victories over Orland and Hamilton and then went on to win over Salem in the final game 26 to 13. The first team, under the direction of Coach Mitchell, enjoyed one of their best seasons as they com- piled a record of 14 wins and 1 loss. Although not too big, the boys handled the ball well, and hit con- sistently enough to be a constant threat in every ball game. The team was well balanced and each of the ten boys contributed his share in making this a winning team. SECOND TEAM The little fellows of the second team showed much ability and promise for the future. They were very successful when playing boys their own ages. If they continue their fine attitude and work, they should be successful in future seasons. The seventh and eighth graders on the second team also gave pro- mise of some strength and «ability for future teams. GRADE BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Fremont. 4 0 Metz 11 Fremont. 22—P.

Our sales went very well and the losing students during the first sales campaign entertained the winners at a supper which we all enjoyed very much. We sincerely hope that everyone enjoys our Annual as much now and in the years to come as we have enjoyed bringing it to you.

The purpose of the Council is to create a better relationship between the students and the faculty by co-operation, understanding, and student self-direction in promoting better school spirit. The representatives for the 49-50 year were: Senior, Nancy Moreland and Richard Baker; Junior, Barbara Loucks and George Baird; Sophomore, Phyllis Beams and Lester Peeler; Freshman, Ann Hadley and Don Meeks. The faculty advisor was Mr. Mertz. The officers elected were: President, Richard Baker; Vice President, Barbara Loucks; Secretary-Treasurer, Ann Hadley. This year the Council helped Mr. Latier plan the annual Hallowe'en Carnival, conducted the election of the cheer leaders, and gave a Christmas Party for the high school students. In the Spring we will sponsor another Spring Dance” and hope it is as successful as the one we had last year. Student Council pins have been ordered. We wish to thank all the students and teachers for their co-operation throughout the school year. Seated (left to right) Mr. Jay Mertz, Advisor; Phyllis Beams, Ann Hadley. Barbara Lou«'kM.

They meet every Thursday morning to work on the music they so thoroughly enjoy. They sang at the Christmas program and also at the Spring Concert and at Baccalaureate. Mr. Long has been instructing them in singing four-part music. The whole effect is very melodious and with another year of experience for most of them, their future appear- ances should really be a treat. The chorus sponsored a Sock Hop to raise funds to buy new music. It was a great success and much new music has already been purchased. The officers that were elected to head the chorus are as follows: President, Perry Stauffer; Vice President, Janis Baird; Secretary-Treasurer, Donna Schaeffer; Librarian and Reporter, June Keyes.

Jean Rude walked off with top honors as president; Jane Baker, vice president; Joan Abbott, secretary-treas- urer; June Keyes, news reporter; and Christine Frahm, librarian. On October 15, Mr. Long took the newly organized band to the District Marching Band and Twirling Contest at Auburn, Indiana. We were strictly spectators but will participate next year. The first public appearance of the band this year was October 31, when we led the Hallowe’en Parade on the main street of Fremont. The band also played between games and at the half of all the home basketball games with the exception of the Angola game. February 11th found several musicians from the band headed for Fort Wayne to take part in the District Solo and Ensemble Contest. Arden Berry and Jane Baker both played baritones; Joan Abbott, trumpet; Jean Rude, clarinet; Don Meeks, saxophone; and Gayl Doster, baritone. All six received exceptionally high ratings among which Jane Baker and Gayl Doster received superior ratings. This gives Jane a chance to participate in the State Contest at Indianapolis. Alice Hadley, Rosemary Mitchell, Jean Rude and Donna Schaeffer performed in a clarinet ensemble. The Band also took part in the District Music Contest in April. We sincerely hope our audiences have enjoyed hearing the programs that we have brought to them. Drum majorette� (left to right)—UiMoine Bressler, Shirley Smith. Anne Johnson.

The Junior class play, A Little Honey,” was presented March 25, 1949 and was a big success. The play was directed by Mrs. Clark who did a very fine job. The story revolved around a bewildered girl who had taken too much wrong advice on how to win a proposal. She finally won her man with the aid of her grandmother and her own sweet personality, which had been hidden by her mother’s domination. The cast follows: Jerry Minton, Shirley Harding; Albert Parker, LaMar Vose; Scoots” Minton, Shir- ley Smith; Diana Minton, Phyllis Smart; Delores Megglehammer, Jean Rude; Tom Corn- ing, Richard Baker; Roger Minton, James Binkley; Eve Tyler, Carolyn Neutz; Martha Minton, Donna Schaeffer; Mrs. Simmons, Charlayne Hall; Grandma Thornton, Nancy Moreland; Sure-Shot” man, Donald Wall. , Take Your Medicine” was presented November 16, 1949 by the Senior Class under the direction of Mrs. Reed, Mrs. Clark, and Mr. Mertz. The play centered around two patients in a hospital room with entirely different personalities. The play was a typical story that could happen in any hospital, but shouldn't. The audience was kept in stitches” throughout the three hilarious acts. The cast follows: Henry K. Dodson, Richard Baker; Jonathan Puckett, LaMar Vose; Pat Pryor, Shirley Harding; Miss Holt, Nance Moreland; Angela Warren, Phyllis Smart; Dr. Wil- liam Jackson, James Binkley; Jack Benson, Donald Wall; Dottic Carleton, Shirley Smith; Lottie Nelson, Charlayne Hall; Turtle Dove Finkledink, Carolyn Neutz; Miss Cordelia Puckett, Donna Schaeffer; Dodie Blake, Norma Pabst; Woman and little girl, Jean Rude and Pat Mundy; Expectant father, Edward Antrup; Demented patient, Jean Rude.

Plcuyi J£.ga£ Will and eAla+nesit We, the Class of 1950 of Fremont High School, situated in the city of Fremont, in the County of Steuben, in the state of Indiana, being in an unusually sound state of mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this, our last will and testament, leav- ing our cherished possessions, which we have accumulated during our four years of high school, to the underclassmen and faculty. I, Edward R. Antrup, of sound mind and body, hereby will my height to Anne Johnson, provided she doesn’t grow taller than I. I, Richard L. Baker, being of sound body, and also having a mind (?), hereby will and bequeath my foul-shooting technique to Fred Binkley because he sure could use it. I also will Gerallee, temporarily, of course, to the Sophomore Girls, providing they monopolize her so much that she has time for nothing else!! I, Norma Pabst, do hereby will and bequeath my place as G.A.A. President to June Keyes, and my typewriter with no bell to Phyllis Beams. I, Charlaync Hall, do hereby will and bequeath my ability to be late every morn- ing to Donna Thomas, who lives farther away from school than 1 do, and my ability to fall down in front of the whole assembly to anyone who has the nerve to try it. 1, Shirley Lou Harding, being of sound memory, do hereby leave my cherished yell-leading position to Janis Baird, and my ability to pester Mr. Mitchell to Arden Berry providing she isn’t too rough on him! I, Donna Schaeffer, do hereby will my chair in the band to Alice Hadley, and my typewriter and grades to Wilma Rakcstraw. I, Leonard Jack Stafford, will my ability to skip school to Theodore Steele, and to Rolland Peterson I will my girl friends, providing he stops flirting with Nancy Kinsey and Effie. I, Paul Caswell, being of both body and mind, do will my ability to sit quietly, and sleep occasionally, to the RESTLESS FRESHMEN.” I, Shirley Smith, do hereby will my ability to be heard saying things I ought not to be saying to anyone who doesn’t blush easily, and my ability to beat up” my type- writer and not have it hit me back to Margaret Smith. I, Phyllis Smart, being in normal (as possible) state of mind, do hereby will my ability to get extra assignments in Chemistry Class to Donna Antrup, providing she does not get so many that Mr. Stiles sprains his wrist grading them. Also, to Perry Stauffer goes my red and black garter. I, LaMar Doc” Vose, being of sound body, do hereby will my ability to get along with girls to George Cookie” Baird, providing he doesn’t do the things I did. I also will my little Blue Book” to next year’s basketball team. 1, Nancy Moreland, being of sound mind and body do hereby will my fabulous typing speed (?) to Jane Baker providing she never attempts to break my record. To the entire student body 1 would bequeath a word of advice—never let your school work interfere with your fun! I, Jean Rude, being of sound mind and body, do will my ability to play the insane parts in the class plays to Paul Cramer. I, Donald Wall, do hereby will my intended personality to Virginia Michael, my nicknames and my talents, little if any, to Mr. Davis, and my ability to get along with the girls to Mr. Mitchell. I, James Binkley, do hereby will my quiet ways to my brother Fred (he needs them), and my bass voice to Bobby Brown. I, Carolyn Neutz, do hereby will my complicated love life to Lois Booth, and my coy parts in the class plays to Eleanor Finicle.

Compliments of the FREMONT WELDING SHOP Page Fifty-one SetU i Globi Pn pitecy Here we are, your roving reporters, covering a sensational banquet at the Fremont Banquet Hall on May 8, 1975. This year we are honoring the class of 1950, the smallest class to have graduated from F. H. S. in recent years. In the course of our table-hopping we fell over a pair of size 14’s. Well, guess who? If it isn’t that well-known Professor of Physical Science at Purdue University, Richard Baker. He said after he had finished working on the H-Bomb, he perfected his theory of atom preservation. Flash! There just went a blue streak! It was only Dr.” LaMar Vose, the ace veter- inarian. The reason for the rush was that one of Edward Antrup’s National Contest prize-winning pigs just fell down and broke a shank. We just caught a fleeting glimpse of an ermine wrap through the open door. It is that terrific Broadway dramatic actress. Miss Nancy Moreland, protegee of that famous old actress Sara Bernhardt. We hear Nancy is starring in the remake of Streetcar Named Desire.” Just look who is escorting Miss Moreland tonight! That famed modern Caruso of the Metropolitan Opera, James Binkley. Could it be romance? It’s doubtful, but you know that entertainment world! What in the world is that noise? Sounds like a blockbuster! Oh, it’s that profes- sional wrestler, Smitty the Smear, better known to the Alumni of Fremont as Shirley Smith, that five foot atomic bomb. Just look at the medals! Admiral Jack Stafford of the U. S. Navy, no less. We hear, via the grapevine, that he is commanding the U. S. S. Fremont.” Oof! There is only one person in the world with an arm like that. It must be Shir- ley Harding Crandall. Do you suppose it could be from pulling weeds in her new mod- ern greenhouse? She and Kenny are specializing in lavender roses, and raise vegetables and various other things on the side. The Principal of F. H. S., also an alumnus of Fremont, Paul Caswell, tells us the music will be furnished by Miss Jean Rude and her spectacular all-girl band, The Eaglettes.” Tonight the featured artist will be the Male Thrush of Singapore, Donald Wall. He specializes in bringing back the old favorites. Cry of the Wild Goose” caused near chaos in the Asiatic countries. The former Donna Schaeffer, now the beloved wife of Richard J. O.” Brown, graced the table of the Class of 1950 as toastmistress. She read a telegram from Phyllis Smart, now on a personal appearance tour as Miss or is it Mrs. America. It depends upon her marital status at the time of the award. It seems her heart is still governing her better judgment. That fireball of the class of 1950, Carolyn Neutz, and her husband are explorers in Africa. Their transportation is furnished by the new Indian Motorcycle and Sidecar Co.” Her husband is the Bring ’em back alive” specialist of the New York Zoo. The New Powerful” Model, Charlayne Hall, walked off with the lead in Kiss Me, Lil” or Head for the Round-house, Suzie, the Brakeman Can’t Corner You There.” She is now queen of the Musical Comedy Shows. We hear Miss Davis is thinking of retiring in 1976. Ohio State’s prize Home Ec. and Physical Education instructor, Normagenc Pabst is expected to grab off the position. It is reported that Norma’s nerves are in good condition. We might add, she’ll need steady nerves at F. H. S. After the banquet concluded and groups of old time intimate friends were going over events of way back when,” we felt no urge to horn in on these happy reunions so we eased out to rove to other parts.

JUNE 3 LAST DAY OF SCHOOL Page Fifty-five On Jle oin Now that we have come to the end of our Vistula and the end of another school year we wish to leave w-ith you these beautiful lines of friendship. TO KNOW ALL If I knew you and you knew me— If both of us could clearly see. And with an inner sight, divine The meaning of your heart and mine. I’m sure that we would differ less And clasp our hands in friendliness; Our thoughts would pleasantly agree If I knew you and you knew me. If I knew you and you knew me. As each one knows his own self, we Could look each other in the face And see therein a truer grace. Life has so many hidden woes. So many thorns for every rose; The why” of things our hearts would see. If I knew you and you knew me. —Nixon Waterman Page Fifty-six
