. ....f.,-. Class Prophecy of '45 One sunny afternoon when I was rummaging through my trunk which contained many mementos of the past, what should I find but a Milestone published by the class of 45. It brought to my memory many classmates which, due to the fast rate of living, I had nearly forgotten. Ilene, Margaret Ann and Jean, who were very good friends in high school, have all chosen medical professions. Ilene was graduated from col- lege as a Doctor of Medicine. She has returned to Mt. Vernon and has es- tablished a very promising business. Margaret Ann and Jean are both reg- istered nurses. They have now gone to some of the small islands of the Pacific to help fight the diseases with which so many of our soldiers fought and died in World War II. It seems that Art is now a Civil Engineer and has a World wide repu- tation. He has made the plans for many large buildings, which are scat- tered all over the world. Rex now owns a very nice home in Cleveland and there he is engaged in the sale of automobiles, the type that was only in the early stages of development ten years ago. Betty at first was a stenographer, but she soon decided this was not her type of work. We now find her to be a hostess on a very large air liner which travels from New York to London every forty-eight hours. Dan, a boy much .interested in farming, has become the only farmer of this class. He is now the owner of a large farrn south-east of Wooster and produces many hundred bushels of potatoes annually. Eileen was always considerate of others and due to this very good quality she is now a missionary in Africa. She has been there for five years helping the uncultured people of that continent to enjoy the many pleas- ures of this world. Dick joined the navy after graduation and came back with the purple heart and oak leaf cluster, but now he is engaged in the hotel business. He owns a large hotel in Boston, which is equal to the Waldorf Astoria in New York. June and Dorothy are both beauticians. Dorothy now owns and oper- ates a modern salon in New York. June is in Chicago and there she has established a thriving business. It has not been so very long ago that I saw her name in the Pittsburgh Herald stating that she had been given a certificate of award for designing a new coiffure. By the way, she just recently has married a wealthy Frenchman and her name is now Madame Joseph Du Gast. Page Twenty-one '5-.C -tw. . TRS. ., fr . ,.,.k ,, ,,, E Aix, 1 f ..

Our instructors this year were: Miss Sears, Mr. Moffitt, Mrs. Fawcett, Mrs. Pinkley, and Mr. Baird. Near the end of the month of September, we received our class rings. Much of our time was spent in getting ready to produce our play entitled Tomboy, a comedy in three acts. It was the story of a teen-aged girl who liked the sports of a boy, and was always getting into trouble with her other two sisters. It was a gay and an exciting play from beginning to end. All of this was made possible by the assistance and direction of Miss Sears. In May, we entertained the Seniors with a prom, a usual custom of the Juniors. We had the auditorium decorated as a Spring Garden. SENIOR As we enter our Senior year, we grasp more fully the stern realities of war. We entered this year with eighteen members since Harry Blair came to be with us. Dale Burch left to engage in farming, and Kenneth White was called for military service, Know overseasl. Donald Frye was elected president to guide us through our last year at Gambier High School. We presented a clock and a Service Men's Honor Roll to the school as our gift. This year we gave another play entitled You're Young Only Twice. It was a gay, hilarious play about an old maid that came back to visit an old sorority house where she once Went to school. The class of 1945 extends its appreciation for the extra patience required of the superintendent and teachers during these critical times. We leave with sober minds, but our hearts are full of glad memories of the days at Gambier High School. Elizabeth Ayers. Page Twenty

Don, the president of this class, is a well-fixed dealer in real-estate with his central office in Cincinnati. He was always a clear thinker which has been a great aid in this business. Mary Yeager had only one ambition, if I remember correctly, and that was to be a stenographer, not just the average, but one of the best. At the present time she has a very trusted stenographic position in the F. B. I. She is quite proud of her position and, too, her life has been a great suc- cess. Harry has become an excellent electrician and is employed by the Westinghouse Company in Pittsburgh. The most surprising thing about him is that he still is enjoying single bliss. Elizabeth went to Mansfield Business School and after completing her course there accepted a position at the Goodyear Company in Akron as a private secretary. She has been there for almost ten years and hopes to make this her lifetime occupation. Ronald's life has been one filled with excitement and adventure. He has j,ust completed the design for a new racer with which he will attempt to break his own speed record. He is quite sure this will be the fastest racer ever built and is waiting patiently until the day arrives to prove his belief. Time has now dimmed the pictures of these my friends and class- mates, but I am sure time will never dim their accomplishments whether great or small. M ary Farmer. Page Twenty-two
