SEHIUHS CLASS MOTTO: Out of the harbor, into the deep. CLASS FLOWER: White Carnation CLASS COLORS: Maroon and White CLHSS HISTUHU As our school life comes to a close, let us review the past. It was 1938 when we first enrolled in Harris-Elmore School. There were 36 of us. As we continued our journey through school, some pupils left us and others joined us, until now there are 30 students left to graduate. We began our school training by learn- ing the fundamentals of the three R's. For the next few years we put these fundamentals to work and wondered how we would ever pull through. Finally we were up to the eighth grade: how we ever made it nobody knows. We had a Christmas party at the home of Kathryn Kuhlman. In the spring we gave a party for the seventh grade. On May 28, 1946, we went to Oak Harbor for commence- ment exercises and received our grade school diplomas. Then we were freshmen. The boys were initiated by the upper classmen and were wondering if they would ever find their clothes after climbing in tree tops and looking around in bushes for them. Our Christmas party was held in the Commer- cial Club rooms. Then came our sophomore year. We had a skating party April 9, at Forest Park. As an added means of raising money we sold tee-shirts here at school. lna Mae Lamale was hostess to the class at a Christmas party in her home. We, the class of nineteen-hundqeld Eng fifty, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make this document public and de- clare this to be our last willand testament, hereby revoking all wills made heretofore: Suzanne Avers: My Arthur Murray Dance Booklet to Charles Roepke. Jerry Beck: My way with the women to Kenneth Kuhlman. Margaret Bukasg My slender figure to Muriel Gregg. James Croll: My ability to break my nose S 18 Our junior year was spent with more activities. First we received our class rings. On November 12 and 13 we present- ed the play, Home Sweet Homicide, a mystery in three acts. lt was given under the direction of Mrs. Coleman, and proved to be a great success. Then came the annual Junior-Senior Banquet which was held on May 14, in the school auditorium. Our theme was the Shamrock Nite Club. The girls were initiated by the senior Versatile girls at their annual banquetheld on May 7. At last we were what we thought we would never be--SENIORS. We had our graduation pictures taken at Livingston Studios, in Toledo, in October. We received our name cards, invitations, and all that goes with graduation throughout the year. The juniors honored us at the Junior- Senior Banquet and dance on May 13. The Class of '50 is proud of their football, basketball, and trackmembers, the Purple 'n' Gold and Helm staffs, and librarians. C We must leave Harris-Elmore School now that we have completed our twelfth year, but we shall never forget the many, many happy hours that we spent together during our entire class history. With the memorable Senior Day, baccalaureate, and commencement exer- cises, we go out of the harbor, into the deep. lu td- .'!bhn Lowry. Larry Detzel: My athletic ability to Helen Orman.

To my amaze- mentl see that everyone has been very successful in his own ambition. As I look into their lives I see that Roy Wendt has finally established his own Kroger store in the Mohawk Valley in the State of Washington. He has been having excellent trade with the Indians as well as the bears. Isee that Kathryn Kuhlman has taken up a career of music. She will use her Metropolitan Opera voice to win the hearts of many Elmore people when she makes her debut in Louis Jeremy's Opera House. Among her selections will be Somebody's Unfinished Symphony.

UNDERSIGNED: Class of 1950 Paul Muenzer,president taken over the position of twenty-first Vice-President of the Snapless Garter Company of Stretchville, Utah. He has been working for this position for the past Z0 years. In Madison Square Gardens last Friday night, Jim Lowry, former lightweight champion of the world, knocked out Ezzard Charles in 45 seconds flat of the first round. Charles more than met his match in this bout and will soon retire, as Lowry will continue in his footsteps. I see that Douglass Sloanha's founded a Lonely Hearts Club in Elmore, with slogan: If you're young and gay with life, come in and get yourself a wife. Last night burglars broke into the Carol Jean Frocks Dress Shop and got away with many beautiful dresses, as well as twelve gorgeous women, Don't be alarmed--they
