EIGHT CLASS HISTORY One bright morning in September 1938, twenty-two intelligent looking faces appeared in the Freshman Class at Hepburn High School. Of course we didn't look so intelligent when we were called upon to be initiated by the Sophomores. But they were still our friendsg they invited us to a Hallowe'en party at McKee's barn. At Christmas time we returned the favor by giving them a party in the Home Ec. room. When the year was ended we felt as if we were fully pledged Hepburn High Students. VVhen we returned as Sophomores we found many of our classmates gone but we gained one new member the second semester, who was George Seitzer. VVe started our social activities that year by having a Weiner roast on Bair's Island. In October we had a Hallowe'en party for the Freshman. On December 14th we had the pleasure of initiating the Freshman. March 25th the whole high school went to the movies to see Young Tom Edisoni' which ended the social activities for that year. We started our junior year with nineteen in the class. During the summer we lost one of our faithful workers, Clarence Livermore. We were more settled by this time but we decided we needed a little fun, so we had a weiner roast at Hornberger's ball diamond on October 2nd. December 11-12 we showed our acting ability with a three act comedy, Miss Cingerv. We also .purchased our class rings on December 12th. The later part of December one of our faithful school members joined Uncle Samn in the United States Army. This was Bill Umstead. Marie Richards also left us to become Mrs. Ludwig. Being juniors we wanted to do something different so we had a St. Patrick's Costume party for the Seniors. On April 9th we decided to sneak away from school and went to Rauch- tovvn for a picnic. May Sth we sponsored the annual Junior and Senior Banquet. May 13th we lost one more of our faithful members, of the class, Willard Dangle who died in an automobile and bicycle accident. We returned our Senior year with only ten members but all studious and good workers. In the middle of October we started to practice for our first Senior class play, The Adorable Age which we presented Nov. 20 and 21st, On December 15th we brought to the community Mrs. John Kauffman, who played the Swiss Bells. On March 27th we were entertained at the Iunior and Senior Banquet. On April 23rd and 24th we presented our second class play. This year we also enjoyed an Educational Tour sponsored by the Sun Gazette Company. Now after four happy years at Hepburn High School, as much as we hate to we must say good-by and part. But of all memories, Hepburn High will always linger in our minds. LOIS NEVVCOMER

TEN CLASS PRCDPHECY One warm afternoon in June I came off duty at the hospital and decided to take a ride in the country. It was a glorious day, so clear and blue and the sky was filled with birds who were pouring forth their joyful song. I stopped the car and decided to walk aways. Cutting over the green fields I saw a rabbit jump out of the tall grass and scamper to his home. And there in a distance was a large hay stack which looked inviting. I ran the rest of the way and lay down on the sweet smelling hay. It made me think of my youth spent in the country. My high school friends, where were they? I began to wonder if Lois Newcomer had accomplished her dream of becom- ing a nurse. As I turned over on my back and gazed up into the sky I saw a snow white cloud and who was there but Lois in her white uniform, helping the sick and unfortunate? I And in the next cloud I saw Iean Harer working in the same hospital as Lois. Jean was a dietitian. I can still remember how she used to pay strict at- tention when we were studying vitamins in Home Ec. As that cloud faded another appeared, I recognized the tall building to be a sky scraper of New York City. Eighteen fioors up in one of these buildings I saw a fair haired lady leaning over a designing board. And who was that but jean Hornberger as a dress designer? She told me she spent most of her time designing for the Hollywood Stars. In the next cloud I saw her busily working on, and fitting a gown to a star while another girl worked with the girls hair and makeup. I looked closer at this girl and thought she looked familiar. I suddenly remembered it was Gladys XValtz who had become a beautician. Another cloud drifted over 'that one and I saw a familiar smartly dressed woman coming down the street in a large city. It was Iane Hensler and she told me she was the secretary for a president of a large manufacturing com- pany. She told me she soon would have enough money to travel. I remember, to travel, was Iane's one desire.
