Page eighteen Class History When the pioneers chopped down the timber of the green hilis in 1938, the Class of '47 was in the making of Mr. Rinckel. His paddie must have had some effect on this class because it put them off to a hot start. In the fifth grade we experienced our first activity when Miss Schultz led the troop to Damon Road tor a picnic, We were also on the traii of our money making schemes for enough sales tax stamps were collected to purchase a radio. Even Mr. Cook couldn't miss those World Series. in the seventh grade the favorite teacher of the day was Mr. Brown who was easily persuaded to discuss anything but science. The weIl-groomed hair of some of our handsome men can be attributed to Mrs Casey and his ways and means of discipline, Graduating from the eighth grade was one of our most thrilling events to date; what with high heels, collars and ties making their first appearances! At iast.r The big moment had come! We were considered high school studentsealmost. After wiping off the shades of red tiipstick, that isi and settling down to our new routine, we found high school life very pleasant Our first venture in this new life was selling pencils with the basketball schedule engraved on them. From this, we can truthfully say, a large profit was made; in fact it was so profitable that we sold them again in our Sophomore year and obtained the some results. Our class had the distinc- tion of being the first to originate class nicknames. The Sophisticated Sophomores we called ourselves. The biggest task that confronted us at the beginning of our Jolly Junior year wasvthat of raising money for the big event of the year, the Junior- Senior Prom. Methods used were the Sadie Hawkins Dance, tournament concessions, to say nothing of Where's Laurie?, the most original ploy ever given. By this time enough money was accumulated to give the most spectacular prom of all. 'Twas said it was a huge success. September, 1946, brought the Jolly Juniors together tand we do mean togetheri again to become the Salient Seniorsf' The actors and actresses displayed their dramatic ability in Gangway tor Ghosts, the horror play that was proclaimed by critics to be the best piay ever given in Creenhills. We rocked our brains to find ways to raise more funds to publish an annualt As one can plainly see our efforts were not in vain. As the saying goes, 'All good things must come to an end; so it is with high school, the best part of your life, Upon leaving this wonderful school the Class of '47 says, not Farewell, but See you soon!

Prophecy It is the year 1953 Neves Ytrof, the spirit of the Class of '47 is becoming curious about his class. I believe I shall look in my crystal ball and see what has happened to them over this long period of time. Gazing at his bail, Neves quickly found Green- hiils where the class had last been together. This, he thought, would be an excellent place to begin his adventure of locating them. In the new elementary school in Creenhills, Neves saw Margie Cirton taking her first grade pupils on a fieid trip. In the high school he saw Leon Brock coaching the State's winning basketball team, while Mary James was physical education director for the giris. Over at the right of the high school, Neves was able to catch a glimpse of Henry Hambrick, new manager of the co-op store. Being surprised to find a hospitai in Greenhills, he entered and to his amaze- ment encountered Doctors Don Fink and Jim Schwab hurrying down the hall toward the operating room for an emergency operation on Dermot Schnack, all-American football player, who received injuries in his last game, Alice Ann Steinway, head nurse, was close at their heeis to aid in the operation. Looking in Dr. Fink's office, Neves saw Eleanor Muhlenhard busy with her secretarial duties. Next door in Drt Schwab's office was Alberta Wilson, Jim's wife and secretary. Looking down in the lobby, he discovered Betty Stavermann showing Bob Fisher, now an American Air Lines pilot, where he could find Henry Seitz, Alaskan Homesteader, who was in the hospital for trostbitten feet. In Colorado, Neves located the exquisite Art Studio of Alan Wells and Betty Schnack. In downtown Denver, Neves saw the famous Haberdashery of Russell Troisi, president of Tracey Bean Hats, lnc., seiiing Jerry Sirk, now a famous world wrestler, his favorite model, Feeling rather tired, he decided to take a rest by listening to his Atomic Radio. He turned to station CH5 and heard Mary Roettger and Dallas Coate iContinued on page sixtyi Page nineteen
