Willie Everlearn Witnesses: M. T. Head Lena Ginster CLASS HISTORY As we, the class of l94O, approach graduation let us glance back over the four years we have spent together in high school. We entered high school as freshmen in l956, and were glad to find that Mr. Jump would be our home room teacher. After initiation we elected these officers: pres- ident, John Wackg vice president, Del Court, secretary-treasurer, Martha Woolf. We had two parties besides initiation, one, a Halloween masquerade, the other, a weiner roast at Sevakeen. In the fall of l957, we chose Lowell Baker, presidentg David Long, vice presi- dentg and Martha Woolf, secretary-treasurer. Because of crowded conditions we were moved to the seventh grade room where we spent our sophomore year with Mr. Wagstaff.

Our first get-together was a Halloween party at Helen Sangree's and later we had an unforgettable taffy pull at Everett Cobbs's. There were also weiner roasts at Sev- akeen and Carpenter's orchard, the latter being a treat from Mr. Alspaugh. When we entered our junior year we were determined to make enough money to go to Washington at the close of our senior year. Early in the term we chose our class rings. We sponsored various entertainments including Bluffton Choir, Collins Enter- tainment Festival and several skating parties. On March l9, the Junior Play WThe Tower Room.MysteryU was presented under Miss Spahn's direction.

Our class has been well represented in extra-curricular activities. Several students have won honors in athletic and academic work. CLASS PROPH CY Yesterday, being New Years Day, I attended the Rose Bowl football game where Notre Dame, whose coach is Robert Becky an old schoolmate of mine, played University of Southern California. Of course, being Dean of Women here, I wanted U. S. C. to win. One of my other schoolmates, lowell Baker, now football coachl at Goshen--our Alma Mater--was also there. We decided we would recall other members of our class and find out what they were doing. . Edward Theil is now a referee here in California. He's making fine headway and gaining weight fast! Among the celebrities at the game were Maxine Wyse, star of Universal Pictures Inc. and her leading man, Robert Naylor Knot Taylorl also Isabel Blaine, New York Follies star, and her most ardent pursuer--the millionaire playboy--Clyde Hoff- master. Probably the most important member of our class is Robert Risbeck, who is run- ning for the presidency of the U. S. on the Republican ticket for l952. His sec- retary Mary Fogg, and his campaign manager, Buell Carpenter, accompany him on his tours. Also on that ticket is Raymon Weingart, who is running for U. S. senator from Ohio. He is urged on by his devoted wife--the former Gertrude Zepernick. Several members of the class are rapidly progressing in the field of music. Everett Cobbs is now bass soloist for the Metropolitan Opera Co. and his accompa- nist is Jean Redman--an accomplished piano artist. Gene Wang and Lois Sharpnack were heard over Major Bowes program last night. They are known as the Bluettes ftwin blues singersj and they received a great deal of applause.
