I 1 1 1 CC ' 77 0 Breaking The Ground CLASS HISTORY By Shirley Ann Canaday Character is thc Cornerstone of Successg a motto adopted by the Class of '53. Just as a corner- stone reflects the personality of a great building to follow, so does it reflect the great amount of work that has already been achieved in bringing the sturdy foundation up to that point where it is capable of receiving the cornerstone. 'Way back in 1941 A. D., a sturdy group of young Americans started to dig into the virgin soil of education, tearing at the rocks and roots with tender mind and hand. This charter group might have been easily despaired had it not been for a capable job foreman by the name of Miss Josephine Long. Many of the original group accepted similiar work in other localities and had to move, but thirteen of that group kept picking away at the footing and watched it grow in depth and breadth even as their character kept pace. They are here even now-Fae Hamilton, Louise Long, Lola Jean Hancock, Dottie Humphries, Dennis Hough, Jack McVVhirt, Marvin Bedsaul, Carol Sue Cantrell, Harold Chaney, Joene Cotter, Shirley Jean Hall, Peggy Tevis and Shirley Ann Canaday. In the fall of 1942, Miss Marie Scheer became the foreman, but no new Workers were added. In 1943, Mrs. Marjorie Carney became foreman and recruited additional help in the persons of Norma Sparks., Margaret Ellen Daldrup, and Louise Smith. The work of digging the footing prospered and character became evident. By 1944 the excavating was nearing comple- tion and Mrs. W'aneta Lane became foreman and Connie Wnittenburg appeared with her pick and shovel, ready to lend her weight to the task of Character building. ,Although the work was progressing nicely, additional help was always welcome and in 1945 Miss Grace Turner accepted the foreman's job and Garmin Jennings and Donna Petre arrived on the scene. , The year 1946 was a memorable one inasmuch as it meant that the spadework was finished and we shall say that the sixth phase of endeavor had been completed-in that year we were ably guided by Mrs. Ted Boosinger and strengthened by the arrival of Betty Brown, Warren Ferris, John Fort- ney and Larry Parker. In the Fall of 1947 things really began to hum, Character building had reached the point where it Was ready for building the forms that were to re- ceive the sinews of concrete and steel. The expert in charge was Mrs. Marie Hampton, and the new recruits were erry Kephart, Bill Moretini, Rowena French, J ack Penrose, Robert Morrow, and 'Virginia Hough. , To the steady rhythm of hammer and saw, Mrs. James Krockenberger took charge of operations and she was everywhere The Foundation must be true and straight the Cornerstone must have a solid footing and in that year of 1948 Dianne Musser Joined the group of now skilled workmen and Women 1949 1S a year we shall long remember for 11 neymtn but real honest to goodness Freshmen- ably guided by foreman Mrs. Forrest Garrison and tremendously strengthened by the appearance of Ronald Phelps, Mary Alice Dean, Martha Howard, Patricia Ann I-lallar, Donna Sue Jones, Dorothy Sechrest, Dale Corkran, Loyd Hite, Janice Maloney, Bob Carlyle, Allan Dean, Mike Ford, John Graham, Donald Kephart, Russell McCannon, Don McVey, LeRoy VanGilder, and James XVarren. At the Half-Century mark of 1950, the forms were filled., the pattern set, and the building of character kept pace under the direction of Mr. C. VV. Garey and some skilled workmen, by the name of J. C. McLanahan, Marva Jean Stockton, and Don Helton, who arrived in that year. By 1951, Mrs. Opal Xvilliams supervised the removal of the Wooden forms, but by this time the crew had grown to such proportions 'that two Eoremen were necessary and Miss Margaret Jones was very able in this capacity. No new workmen were- added that year, but time was found to present a play, entitled Love Your Neighbor, and also to give a bountiful Banquet to those who were about to graduate as Master Craftsmen. So it came to pass that in the fall of the year 1952 A. D. Mrs. James Krockenberger again accept- ed the responsibility for this vast group, together with Mr. YVilliam Stevens and at the same time Doris Reifsnider appeared to make the final effort. Again time was taken- to present a play, called No More Homework, ' and, it may be said here that many, many other activities, too numerous to be set forth herein, were achieved. The Foundation is now complete, it is strong and true, the Character that it embodies will ably hold the foundation stone of Success and these workmen and women have the knowledge and the skill to build upon this stone an edifice that will endure through the ages. It must be remembered, dear Reader, that although only the foremen of this drama were mentioned by name., that there was a vast organ- ization of architects and draftsmen and many others along the way that we shall group together and call Faculty and to this group we say in unison, Thank you, You Were wonderful. Sealing The Cornerstone By Jerry Kephart, Class President Faculty, friends, parents and seniors. lt has been an honor and an achievement to have bee11 president of this class for the past four years. Seniors, I have enjoyed it and my knowledge has been broadened by working with you, and receiving your full hearted support.

We want to thank our parents for their patiencfe and kindness which has and will serve as a headlight through our lives As we go out into the world to seek our goals may our chaiacter be our corner stone to success Though we all have a long road to travel' may it be bound with happiness and righteousness with God by oui sides each day Senlois good bye and good luck to all of you , . , O, .

This is a tremendous QHGSUOI1- I predict that there will be great progress in the next 20 years. Our world will change, even more than it has in the last 20 years. y-.Let us go now, to the year 1973. LVThe nations of the world have organized and formed the U. W., the United VVorld, and Russell McCannon is President. This development, located in New York, was made D0SSible thT0l-1311 the W01'k of two world known sociologists, Dale Corkran and Donna Petre. Dennis Hough, a renowned scien- tist, has just returned from Paris and is my guest. We decided to visit this 'great place. ' We walked into the capitol building: the first person we saw was Marvin Bedsaul, the efficient guard. He checked our passes and we entered the reception room. On the walls we saw paintings by the famous artist, Bill Moretini. ' The attractive receptionist was Dottie Hum- Dhries. WVe asked Dottie if we might S96 the Dresl' dent, but we were told that he was in conferenoe with Don Helton, a renowned representative from the National Farm Bureau. Dottie said we 6201115 seeour brilliant U. S. representative, Laffy Parker- YVe entered his office, and gl-1655 Who We Saw there' lt was none other than 'Connie Whittenburg, h1S efficient and trusted personal Secretary. - 'Larry wanted us to see the whole city so he asked his personal chauffeur, LeRoy VanG11d61' to show xus around. We stopped at Carlyles restau- rant. Bobby Carlyle, a Connoisseur of fine food, has the most widely acclaimed restaurant in UBS ' n of the world. , StCtTVe left the capitol and started for the air- , . . - th 't . As we entered the Ad- craft plants neai e C1 Y we Saw a familiar ' 'stration Building, asain , The vivacious receDIi0f1iSt here was Shlrley canaday. YVe got a pass '10 the labofaton' and there we saw otherAf5G0D16' Whom We knew' Warren Ferris, at test. pilot, and Mike Ford, a geolo- gist, were talking of a power Dlimt to replmfe the atomic plants. now in use. VVarren asked if we would like a ride in his newest plane. We ?LI1SYV9I'9d in the affirmative. Since it was necessary for every' one to have an examination, we reported to Louise Long, the efficient head nurse. We also saw, Martha Howard, the capable laboratory tech- nician. Martha told us that Janice Maloneynis 2. nurse in Nebraska, and that Norma SDHYKS 15 an outstanding social-worker in St. Louis, Missouri. As we left the Administration Building we noticed Jack Penrose and Donna Sue Jones exam- ing the blue prints for a new administration build- ing. Donna Sue is a world famous interior decor- ator, and Jack is a well known commercial artlst. XVhen on our plane trip we S3-W the giS21I1YiC grain farm of Loyd Hite. 'VVe landed near the large estate of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Chaney. Mrs. Chaney is Rowena French, the bubble gum girl in our Senior Play in 1953. XVhile visiting at the Chaney estate we learned that Betty Brown and Shirley Hall live near there. They and their husbands jointly own the Brown Hall Resort, named after Betty and Shirley. A frequent visitor at the resort is Dorothy St-rwlirost, :1 skilled beauty operator, in Philadelphia, Pai. We tried to call Dorothy by telephone and in so doing found out that Doris Reifsnider is a long distance telephone operator in Philadelphia, and when Doris starts to put calls through, allvlines are cleared. Rowena told us she recently had a letter from her old friend and pal, Patsy I-Iallar, who is now a famous Home Economist in Los Angeles. Patsy had told Rowena that Carol Cantrell, an outstand- ing elementary teacher in Denver, Colorado, and Peggy Tevis, a Mathematics instructor in Chicago, and Louise Smith, a Commerce instructor in Pan- ama City, Florida, had stopped to visit her a few minutes. They were on a vacation trip to Honolulu and were having a wonderful time. Dennis and I returned to my home and we turned on our television for an evening of relaxa- tion. Imagine our surprise to see the Fortney Show of Shows. John Fortney has just replaced Sid Ceasa1', and there was Virginia Hough-taking the place of Imogene Coca. To say the least, they had a hilarious show--much better than the Show of Shows of 1953. Margaret Daldrup was a guest star on his program. At the close of the program, John introduced his producer, Jerry Kephart, and his choreographer, Fae Hamilton. His band is directed by Robert Morrow and J. C. McLanahan, that famous trumpet player, is in the band. Last month I had a little trouble with one of my Hot Rods, tyou see I'1n a Hot Rod dealer! so 1 took it over to Jacl-:'s Speed Shop. Yes, you guessed it. The shop was owned by Jack McWhirt. I was happy to find another of our old class mates, Don McVey. He is Jack's expert mechanic. Jack told us that his latest car was to be driven the next week on the Indiana Speedway, owned by Allan Dean. On the day of the race, Donald Kephart, who owns a great chain of drug stores, called me and said he was in town for a couple of days, so we attended the race together. That was quite a day. Imagine our surprise to see Ronald Phelps there. He was the timer. That's just his sidelineg he works ordinarily for General Electric. The four of us had coffee together after the race, and got to reminiscing and discussing our classmates of 1953. Allan said James Vyarren, a wealthy farmer and stockman in Illinois, often attends the races. On our way home Donald and I stopped at a Modern and Magnificient Drive-In Theatre. We found the owner to be Joene Cotter- Joene was about as happy to see us as we were to see edition Marva tained live in her. Right on of The Holden Jean Stockton her desk was the latest Progress. In it we read that and her husband had enter- again at their country home. Those who this hurly burl y world think it one of their greatest treats to find a little time to go out to Marva Jean's beautiful country home where they always find peace and contentment. We really enjoyed reading The Progress. There were several items about our class of 1953. WVe noted that Carmin Jennings, a noted educator, re- cently left for New York where she will join the European Educational Tour conducted by Colum- bia University. Another item of interest was that Dianne Musser, a successful lawyer in Kingston, Colo- rado, was home for a short visit. The item that shocked us most was the one saying that Lola Jean Hancock had just gone to South America to look after her telephone interests. According to The Progress, Mary Alice Dean is conducting a private Kindergarten in Holden and is so successful that she always has a long waiting list. I have enjoyed making these predictions. In 1973 look in your 1953 Eagle and see how many of them come true. Juv
