Class Prophecy While floating around in the stratospheres in the year 195, our doodle-bug runs out of .atoms and we are forced to land on a strange and mvsterious planet. We dazcdly climb out ot our doodle-bug and see a strange creature crawling toward us mumbling over and over, XVater1 XVaterl iscover that is it Mr. Prible, our guide back in 1951. XVC drench his thirst and he then tells us that he must get back to Huntertown for it is .1 matter ot lite untertown Fair and all his fans are waiting tor him. As we draw nearer we d or death. He is the main attraction at the H W'e pick an atom off the nearest cloud and with Mr. Prible in tow we head for Huntertown. After parking our doodle-bug, we start down the spacious midway. Much to our surprise, there stands Martha Aikins shouting, Come one, come all. See the famous Zaa Zaa, Ronald McBride. As we enter the tent we see that he is sawing Marilyn Yates in half. Max Herendeen is throwing knives at Evelyn Bauer who catches them in her teeth and throws them right back at him. All at once there is a loud bang and we rush out of the tent in time to see Ferdonna Lieberenz flying through the air with the greatest of ease. Max Wfakeland shot her out of a cannon. He then dashes one mile to catch her. I Our eye is attracted by an object. Oh No! Nancy Deetz is sitting on top ot a pole. Sue Daniels is trying to persuade her to come down, but she refuses to do so until Ollie Wliid wins her a big teddy bear. As we mosey on down the midway we find ,loyce Horstmeycr looking into her crystal ball to find out what Jack Meyers will be doing in the future. The fragrant odor of hotdogs reaches us, so we stop for some of Maloney's Baloney. There Sharon gives us foot-long hotdogs. We decide to try our luck at throwing balls at Don Lemish, the clown. WT prove to be poor shots. Feeling slightly full, we walk further on and see Gunga Din Bill Gatton, the snake charmcr, emitting weird musical notes on his saxaphone, accompanied by the high soprano voice of his wife Mary Meyer. XVow! Scfclnls at in time to with their none other Look at the Silver Street go. No wonder, with Doris Dafforn at the controls. Piercing the other end of the midway attract our attention. Rushing toward them we arrive see Glenna Timmerman, Monica Kell and Joy Steager dash out of the House of Horrors eyes wide with fright and their hair standing on end. Wlilking down the midway is than Isabel Thompson, knitting a pair of socks for Harry Richey who is now her leading man in North Atlantic. We reach the grandstand in time to see the main event of the afternoon. The NVomen's Hot Rod Races. W'ith a wave of the flag and a hearty Hi Ho Crackers! they're off with .1 mighty roar. Darlene Dice takes the lead closely followed by Maxine Houser with Gloria Branning bringing up the rear. At the far turn, Gloria gains speed and pushes Darlene and Niaxine oii the track. The siren sounds and on the track comes the Robert Borotl Ambulance driven by Fred Taner. As they reach the overturned cars they ind that the girls have crawled out of their cars and finished the race on foot. As we leave the grandstand we see janet Dunten still hopefully pursuing her secret love, Lowell Dickes, in the hope that someday he might accept her. There goes our two old maids, Ruth Slorler and Dolores Willsoii, taking their daily stroll with their pet poodlcs. Into the flea circus we go, only to find Don Bloom unsuccessfully trying to teach the fleas to play basketball. Still itching, we amble on and see Bennie Grimm and David Neuhouser trvine to sneak into the Big Top under the tent flaps. They are caught though, by Bonnie Leazier 'and her pet birddog, Snoopy, who made them water the elephants. Inside, we find Gwendolyn Simon, Verna Perry and Barbara Lepper flying through the air with the greatest of ease. CBetween the crashes.b The houselights dim and the crowd grows still. Then we hear 'lPeanutsl Popcorn! Crackerjacklu It is none other than Mr. Prible, the peanut man. Jimmy and DeMaris Martin, those daring darlings of the tightwire are finishing their act when in comes Bojo, the clown, who is in reality, Bud May. He likes to make the little kiddies laugh. XVe leave the Big Top for we must hurry on our way if we are to see Tom McCrea's Oddities which includes jack Surfus, the rubberman. Marilyn Myers the fat lady, Vincent Sherwood, the strong man, and Donna Snider, the undefeated lady wrestler. Lois Hess and Eugene Couture shoot past us on a falling star and this reminds us that the time has drawn near for departure. At the information booth we inquire from Betty Streets as how to get back to civilization, but this puts Betty into a fix as she has not been to civilization. We see our controls and trust to luck that we'll land on the Milky Way. Page 25

Class History The tree of 1939 shed twenty-three leaves into the lirst grade. They were Martha Aikins, Doris Dafforn, Darlene Dice, Janet Dunten, Lowell Dickes, Maxine Houser, Max Herendeen, Lois Hess, Charles May, Ronald McBride, Marilyn Myers, Sharon Ma- loney, DeMaris Martin, james Martin, Verna Perry. Joy Steager, Ruth Sloffer, Gwendo- lyn Simon, Betty Streets, Harry Richey, Jack Surfus, Max Walceland and Marilyn Yates. Miss Sauders was the guiding branch for these leaves and Joyce I-lorstmeyer was an added leaf during the season. The cruel winter wind stole James Bunn from our class after a serious illness. The balmy breezes wafted Ferdonna Lieberenz and Donna Snider into the lawn of leaves the next fall. A fir tree at Leo shed a needle, David Neuhouser, who sauntered into our third grade class. . In the fourth year, Mary Meyer, another pretty leaf fluttered into our yard. A weeping willow, on the banks of the Three Rivers shed a tear, Xvilliam Gatton, who trickled into the fifth season. The Hrst strong wind of '46 hurled hve pine cones, Dolores Willson, Bonnie Leazier, Tom McCrea and Nancy Deetz our way. An oak IFES dropped an acorn, Isabel Thompson, in time to enjoy the pageant of the history of Allen County at our Eighth Grade Graduation. The splinters grafted to our tree in the Freshman year were Gloria Brannin Ollie W'aid, Sue Daniels, Robert Boroff, Monica Kell, Evelyn Bauer, Fred Taner, Don- ald Lemish, Bennie Grimm, Eugene Couture'and Donald Bloom. Don Bloom served on the twig as president of our class. William Gatton was vice-president, David Neuhouser, treasurer, and Ruth Sloflfer, secretary. The branch sponsors were Mrs. Hostetler and Mr. Guinther. gs Our Sophomore year brought us no foliage. Our sponsers were Mrs. Palicki and Mr. Appleman. The ofiicers were William Gatton, president, Tom McCrea, vice- president, Mary Meyer, secretary, and Gloria Branning, treasurer. Barbara Lepper, Vincent Sherwood and Jack Meyers were added bark to our growing tree. Our class officers were all blossoms: Gloria Branning, president. Darlene Dice, vice-president, Maxine Houser, secretary, and Dolores Willson, treasurer. One big event of this Junior year was our Junior Play, Off a Pewter Platter. Our Junior- Senior reception was held beneath palm trees with a Hawaiian theme Aloha Our sponsors who helped us with all these plans were Mrs. Whonsetler, Miss Enley and Mr. Sible. With our tree complete our Senior Play, Ever Since Eve was presented. Our branch sponsors who were very helpful in leading us through our Senior year were Mrs. Smith and Mr. Prible. Our class oflicers were Jack Meyers, president, David Neuhouser, vice-president, Ruth Sloffer, secretary, and Donald Bloom, treasurer. Although we formed a tree the class chose as its flower a plant, the pink carna- tion. The class colors chosen were old rose and silver. We have always tried to follow our class motto and hope to go on believing that Not to Advance is to Recedef' Now at graduation our tree is in full bloom and each graduate will go out to become a greater part of the Great Tree of Life.
