Gambier High School - Milestone Yearbook (Gambier, OH)

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

. ....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 ..

At the beginning of the year we had thirteen in our class. Two of our recent class- mates returned to our school. Charlotte Slater joined us from Fostoria but recently she left us. As a means of making money, some members of our class sold stationery from which the class received a substantial amount. We also had a bake sale. Most of the members of our class have been with us since we entered high school. Mary Jane Speaks joined us while we were Freshmen and Elinor Houck came in our Sophomore year. At the end of the first semester, the following were on the honor roll: Paul Lay- mon, Elinor Houck, and Mary Jane Speaks. The Junior Class presented a play entitled Bringin' Home the Bacon, on March the 16th. All the members took part in the play. Later in the Spring, May 4th, the Juniors entertained the Seniors with the Annual Prom. Pugu' Tmrniy-111 Vcc
