65:55 ptopiecy The veil of the future is lifted and we look into the year 1970. Our happy little group has just reached the famous city of Huntertown, Inf diana. Being the largest city in the world, its population at present is 92,638,423.26O. The main attraction is the mammoth Gala Thea' tre which is owned by the famous Richard Ma' loney and managed by james Sprunger. As we come closer we see in blinding lights the names of two of our former classmates-Margaret Sei' del and Charles Green. They are cofstarred in a new picture-i'Curs is a Gruesome Love. We enter and find a sight more magnificent than words could ever express. Everything is done in pure gold that was donated by the multi' millionaire, Jack Stone. He is now enjoying him- self as a peaceful bachelor because he decided women want too much money. We sit through the first part of the double feaf ture and enjoy many a hearty laugh. Last but not least we are thrilled to the utmost by the ballet dancing team-Lowell Gaskell and his fi' ance, Mary Ray. After struggling many long hours they finally made the stage. Coming out into the fresh air we smell the def licious aroma of hamburger and onions. We come upon a little restaurant owned and operated by Barbara Huber. Traveling deeper into the heart of the city we find a large music and animal museum belonging to Robert Bleke. He found it was no use trying to amuse an audience from the stage so he takes it out on the laughing hyena. The city park is one of our many attractions and at the entrance we find our guide is Roderick Johnson. He leads us into an ultra-modern zoo and there with 100ffoot cobras all around her is Jean Malcolm. It seems the eternal triangle still exists for we find Hubert Hess and Don Pontius both anxiously awaiting her decision on who she will go to dinner with. In the distance church bells are heard and com' ing closer we see a beautiful white church of which the most Reverend Glenn Gtt is pastor. He has just performed the marriage ceremony for Willis Messman and Betty Russell. Willis has received the oldfage pension and now decides that he is financially able to support a wife and family. A little further on is Mardell Smith's beauty salon. She is running a neat little business and we see she is just giving her latest flame, Gerald Amstutz, a bright red pedicure. Now he doesn't have to do it himself. Our next stop is at a maternity hospital where we see Keith Johnson and Elvin Gump nervously, but patiently waiting to see what the results of a visit of their wives, Catherine Pepple, and Alice Porter to the delivery room will be. The high school is next on our list to be attend' ed. It is changed almost completely. We find in the office as principal Morris Bracht. He has changed in the way of several deep wrinkles and also a few gray hairs. We visit some of the class' rooms and find the Red Cross Nurse, Erma Kikf ley, administering first aid to one of Gene Had- ley and Doris Huber's triplets. The boys were Hghting over which of them could play basketball like the old man. Time is slowly passing by and we continue our trip through the city. We are startled by a loud roaring noise and see a cloud of dust in the dis' tance. It is the sheriff, Gaylord Warner, and his wife, Violet Buchanan, on their motorcycle chasf ing a bandit who just escaped from the state prison. Violet always goes along because she en' joys motorcycles immensely. Bette Moss and George Troxell are running a singing and ventriloquism school. Although their tactics are rather rusty, they manage to support a family of 19 dummys. We have had an invitation from the Mayor, Max Waterson and his wife, the former Ruthe Warner, and the four little Watersons, to enjoy dinner with them at the Waterson mansion. We are amazed to see as their maids Dolores Soule and Elnora Miller, the two old maids of the graduating class. Lorraine Price and Max Gross own and operate the Silver Moon skating rink, which is always crowded to see the two go through the thrilling performance every night. This is the only way Lorraine manages to keep her schoolfgirl figure. The court house is yet to be visited and who should we find on the stand, but Harold Freeman confessing the murder of Helen Brown because he was jealous of her engagement to Sgt. Francis Till. As judge we are surprised to see no other than Paul T. Henning, whom we remember as our leader way back in '45. We are shocked to see going down the street behind a baby carriage Bob Widner. He is now a nursemaid by trade fchanging includedj and is trying to get Lucille Hoeppner and Roland Leininger's two sets of twins to sleep so that he can play one more game of poker before the day ends. Night is slowly but surely coming on and all are completely exhausted, when who should we come upon, but Harold Andrews, who persuades us to spend the night at his hotel. Harold is now agreat hypnotist and he puts us to sleep by his magical powers. Slowly our eyes droop and our heads nod. A deep slumber envelops us and pleasant dreams surround us, but this does not last for the trance gradually wears off. All of a sudden we are awakened by a strange noise, but as our memory comes back we are again at good old H.H.S. and the bell has just rung for the next period class to begin.

glass We the class of '45 began our school career in 1933 with 37 students and Miss Schwartz as our director, The year quickly passed and we found ourselves at desks in Miss Loveless's room. Prizes were given every week in the second grade to the best writers and spellers. The writing con- tests proved to be exciting but the real thrill didn't come until Miss Bleke taught us to write with pen and ink in the third grade. As we started our elementary grades the en' rollment increased to 56 which was too large a class for one room so we were divided into two rooms, Miss McComb and Miss Bear as our teach' ers. Miss Bear's class spent the first six weeks of school in the old gym until the new part of the school was completed. Mrs. Potter and Mr. Gump again divided our class in the fifth grade, but nevertheless we still enjoyed our jello parties and weekly programs. Mrs. Gtto taught part of us in the sixth grade while some of us had Mr. Gump again for the second year. It was in the summer of 1939 that Harold Sordelet, a member of our class lost his life in the St. Joe River. Sixtyfone of us entered junior high school feel' ing mighty important with Mr. Sible as our class sponsor, and Gay Warner as president. The class parties proved to be exciting. With Mrs. Malcolm as our eighth grade sponsor and Morris Bracht as our president we had a happy year, and the climax came when we realized we were leaving the grades at the Shrine Auditorium on graduation day. The romances started rolling as we enter high school. The enrollment again increased to seventy in our freshman year. Miss Hershey and Mr. Bosler were our sponsors and Jack Stone, Gay' lord Warner, Roedean Veazey and Violet Bu' chanan were elected class officers. The barn fwfffoty dance and chili supper at Seidel's seemed to be an outstanding event. In '42 as we entered school as silly sophomores we found Mr, Smith and Miss Whitacre as our sponsors and Roland Leininger, Gaylord Warner and Betty Russell our class officers. Lorraine Price was again elected queen of the class. Class parties were held at the Center School House and at Tonkels. We find the enrollment decreasing as we reach the 11th grade with 49 members left in the class. Mr. Fryback and Mrs. Parrish were elected spon- sors while Morris Bracht, Gene Hadley, Roland Leininger and Betty Russell were elected class officers. A wiener roast at Isaac Walton's was most amusing but the freshman party also seemed to hold some excitement for us juniors. To raise the capital in our treasurer we opened the canf teen in the old school house, sold ice cream bars, candy, 'popcorn and potato chips during games and presented the fourfact play, Seventeen . Memories of the Jr. and Sr. Banquet which was held at the school will always rank high. As 40 of us enter school for the 12th year we find some of our classmates in other parts of the country serving Uncle Sam's forces and others are working and some are even married. Mr. Henning was elected class sponsor and Morris Bracht, Lorraine Price, Dolores Soule, and Bar' bara Huber were elected class officers. A chili supper followed by a theater party was one of the many activities. A visit to court, picture day, the ordering of name cards, caps and gowns, senior day, etc. All seemed to hold excitement. We, the class of '45 are now completing our school term and taking with us the pride of graduf ating from Huntertown High School. gfau of '45
