CKCLJJ pl 0l0 QC? In her little glass house of eighteen rooms on Utopia Boulevard. Katherine Armstrong was pre- paring to receive an important guest. It was one of her classmates from her Senior Class. Marcia Ever- etts, who was making her debut as Queen of the Grapes in the show Grapavina . Marcia had dis- covered that Katherine had married a multi-million- aire. and was living on Utopia Boulevard in New York. She had arranged to have tea with Katherine on the afternoon of December 14, 1968 at 4:00 p.m. Marcia arrived in a shiny, black, jet-propelled lim- ousine. The door opened automatically and Marcia stepped out. She walked to the door and rang the bell. A butler answered the door. Yes, Madame. I wish to see the lady of the house. She is ex- pecting me. Yes, Mada.me. This way please. He led her through a highly illuminated hall to a small drawing room. Marcia noticed that the butler was very stuckup and snobbish. He had his nose so high in the air that his face was barely recog- nizable. But after scrutinizing him closely, Marcia recognized him to be Hamilton's ex-basketball cap- tain. Ray Fisher. She was then announced. Marcia found Kath- erine waiting for her. Do sit down. Ray. please tell Grace to serve tea immediately. Marcia seated herself and soon a buzzer sounded. A servant entered the room carrying a tray. Mar- cia recognized her to be Grace Perry. Grace served the tea and left the room. While sipping tea and munching cookies they talked about what their old classmates were doing. It seems that Kate Schneider is the great fat lady in the circus. She has broken all records in weight . . . 8935 lbs. Martha McGrew is having quite a time rewriting the dictionary. Evidently she didnt agree with all the things that Noah Webster said. Rosetta Estep is complete owner and manager of all Scotts Dime Stores. She owns stores all over the country. and we hear she is progressing very well. J. B. Moore is official garbage collector in the large city of Lockbourne, which has a population of 160.000. Mary Jo Tope is conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. It is rumored that she is a terrific success. june Barthelma-s also has an orchestra. Some people think it is still better than Mary jo's. june Ann has taken over Spike jones' position as head of the City Slickers. Her main instruments are the washboard, washtubs, fork and knife, egg beater, butter paddle, water glasses, tin cans, and the ba- zooka. Betty Edwards is in Paris designing clothes. At present she is arguing with the Prime Minister of France about the usefulness of long skirts. The Prime Minister definitely doesn't like them. Eugene Beard is out of this world . . . but literally. Research is being made on the moon. Eugene is Sixteen there helping them to discover all the facts about gravity. Sena Decker is head dishwasher at a little cafe called The Old Washbucketn. She is up to her head in dishwater but she seems to love it. Of course you know how Sena Mae always loved to do dishes. Katie Puckett is flying through the air with the greatest of ease. She is the greatest trapeze artist in the world. She is with the circus. Ish Crabtree is a bubble dancer with June Ann's band. He is well liked by the public . . . especially by Sally Rand. the ex-bubble dancer. Faye Frazier is bull fighting in Mexico. -judv Lewis plays the part of the bull. They say that she surely looks funny down on her all fours , Barbara Wyatt is head majorette at Southern California. It looks like she is there to stay. Ralph Bethel is a famous news commentator. His specialty is Southern Cal's football games. Could it be because of the head majorette? Wilma Costlow and Imogene Harper are com- peting against each other in the Miss America con- test. Hard to tell who will win. Patty -Foreman is raising the sweetest smelling. largest, blackest. most beautiful animals in the world. It's de-lirious, de-lectable, its de-lemma . . . It's de- limit. Those sweet smelling skunks, otherwise known as the lonesome polecats. Bob Geedey is cultivating . . . a beard. It has now reached the great length of 18 feet. Kate Elam is writing a book on How to Win Friends and Keep Them'. She is quite some au- thority on the subject. Kate Hafey is the world's champion swimmer. She has swum the Atlantic Ocean twice. Of Course, with the help of a life preserver. Margie Reese is head mechanic at a certain little garage in Obetz. At last she has invented a way to put water in a radiator so that it will stay. Mada Martin is on a hunting trip in Alaska. It has been said that something that has been frozen for years can be brought back to life. Mada has found two dinosaurs and she has brought them back to life. They are probably the liveliest animals that you have seen in years. She has also found one of the supernatural dragons. He is coming to life slowly, so everybody had better watch out. Small jet-propelled planes have taken the place of the subway in New York. Sue McGarvey is the best pilot on the lines. If you are wanting to get some place in a hurry. or don't want to get there at all, just ride with Sue. Paderewski and Frankie Carle have taken their last stand. It seems that Lois Baker can play bet- ter than they. so they just gave up. and now Lois occupies the best seat in Carnegie Hall, Jean Becker is head maid in the White House. She has control of all the food. I guess that's all it takes to be president. Cities still have to have junk collectors. Some-

body has to do the job, so it might just as well be Ray Helsel . . . and that is just what he is doing. He says that he makes good money. Walter Mapes holds the position of yard bird in this Man's Army. You know those ladies that eat fire in the circus? Pat Reed always thought that would be an inter- esting job, so she took up The Art of Fire-eating as a career. She likes her work a great deal. There is a certain house that belongs to a cer- tain famous artist in New York that is decorated in a way in which you have never seen a house dec- orated before. The artist is none other than Dave Tyndall. He has his kitchen decorated in Bright Red. His living room is in black and white checks. It seems that he still likes the colors of those two shirts that he wore when he was a Senior in High School. For many years the nations have been working on an organization called the United Nations. At last it has been agreed upon, and Evelyn Claytor holds the honored position of First President of the United Nations. Senator Ernest Obert from Ohio is having quite a debate with another senator about the use of schools. Senator Obert thinks that schools should be demolished. It is said that those debates will go down in history as the Obert and Obert debates, as Mr. Obert does not give the other Senator much time to say anything. .james Ross has invented a wa-y to make rain. He calls it The Ross Way of Gumboozlement If You Don't Think Things My Way Apparatus . In other words, if jim doesnt have his way, all he has to do is make it rain and he soon has everybody agreeing with him. I always wondered what that thunder- storm was for and now I know. lt was getting late and Marcia said that she just had to leave. It seemed that some one in the Senior Class of '48 had not been mentioned, but Marcia had little time to contemplate this matter. She bade farewell to Katherine and departed by way of the front door. As she was leaving, a lady went flying down the street calling Fire!! Fire! ! Marcia turned to Katherine, who explained that Betty Over- street was fire chief in this section of town. When she needed help, all she had to do was to call Fire , Marcia's visit now seemed complete. She hurried to her dressing room, leaving the sun to sink, unaid- ed, behind the little glass house of eighteen rooms. Cfaaa .jsbafory 214- 218 As Hamilton opened her doors on that September morning of 1944, she saw 75 boys and girls enter with their eyes wide and a lost look on their faces. But these characteristics of the freshmen were gone as the weeks passed and everyone made new ac- quaintances. Under the direction of the class ad- visors, Miss jones and Mr. Ice, the election of offi- cers was conducted with the following results: Pres- ident, Margie Reese, Vice Pres., Charles Davis, Sec., Grace Perryg Treasurer, Greatha Strouse. The following year there were only 59 students to carry the title of sophomores. This year found a little wiser look on their faces as they peered down upon the new freshmen. The class advisors for the year were Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Cole. while the class officers were: President, Raymond Fisherg Sec.. Grace Perry, Treas., Glen Brignerg Student Council Members, Margie Reese and Raymond Fisher. They also had the privilege of nominating one member for Queen. Betty Surber was a member of the Queens court during football season while Judith Lewis was a member of the basketball Queens court. Several of the boys were by this time participating in many of the sports. During the third year, as juniors, the school was more aware of the presence of these students, who now numbered 41. For they were now active mem- bers in many activities of the school such as G.A.A., Hi-Y, Student Council, Future Teachers Club, Mixed Chorus, Band and Orchestra. Many of the boys ex- celled in sports while five Junior girls were leading the school cheers for their third successive year. Other events of interest during that year were: Girl Shyn, the play, and our Junior-Senior Banquet, both under the direction of Miss Muir. Six members of this class were selected for the Honor Society. They were: Betty Edwards, Ray- mond Fisher, Martha, McGrew, Betty Overstreet, Marjorie Reese, and Barbara Wyatt. Faye Frazier and Grace Perry were members of the football Queens court, and Barbara Wyatt and Patricia Reed were members of the basketball Queens court with Grace Perry as Queen. Eugene Beard, as president, led the class through this eventful year with Judy Lewis as Vice President, june Barthelmas as Secretary. and Betty Edwards as Treasurer. Then came the morning in September, 1947, when these students entered the doors of Hamilton for the last time with a full school year ahead of them. To begin this year, Raymond Fisher, Eugene Beard, Betty Overstreet, and Patty Foreman were elected as President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. Early in the year five addi- tional members of the Honor Society were elected. This year they were John Balzer, Wilma Costlow, Sena Decker, Grace Perry and Mary jo Tope. Many of the members of this class were leaders and officers in the various organizations. Some of the few are: Barbara Wyatt as head majoretteg Mar- cia Everett as President of Tri-Hi-Y, Marjorie Reese as President of G.A.A., Editor of the Annual and co-editor of the school paper, Betty Edwards as co-editor of school paper, Eugene Beard as captain of the football team, Raymond Fisher as captain of the basketball team, and Wilma Costlow and Imo- gene Smith as members of the Queen's court of foot- ball.
