66444 Fupkag ln the year of 3080 we find ourselves very busy trying to look up the class of 52 for the annual class reunion. Ourgfirst stop is the laboratory of the world-famous scientist, Dwight DeWitt. The genius is now working on a space-ship which will run on kool-ade instead of gasoline. We decide to look around at some of the other inventions, but our attention is attracted to the far corner of the lab where we find Joyce Harrod, Carol Ron- dot, and Georgia May crying their eyes out because Dwight doesn't have time to take them out. Leaving the girls and their misery behind we travel on to Pauline Peters' Poodle Shop. Here we see the latest in dogs and hair cuts. To our surprise we notice Laura Konger and Kathy Leffers modeling the new poodle cuts. While walking along the street we see a lady in front of us slip on a bananna peeling and fall on her face. We rush up to aid her and find that it is none other than Bonnie Forrest. In a moment policeman, Pete Dillman comes to the rescue and takes Bonnie to the hospital to see if anything has been broken. Arriving at the hospital, we see Doctors Jerry Miller and Fink Huber come running with the stretcher. Behind them is Jenny Shank and Joan Wetzel, the best nurses in the world. We all take the patient to the X-ray room where Dora Whan and Archie Andrews tnow married! are on hand to do the X-raying. They can't find a thing wrong so they dismiss the patient and tell the rest of us politely to GET OUT . A look at our watch tells us it is time for dinner and we decide to eat at Leazier's Lunch , owned and operated by Joann and Jim Leazier. Our dinner was cooked by chef Don Surfus and served by Lois Guysinger, our old school chums. Once again we are on our merry way. Our next stop will be the school. We were surprised to find so many of our old schoolmates have become teachers. As we enter the school we see Sonny Arnold, the principal, getting ready to paddle some little children who were running in the hall. Down the hall we see Mary Dcmske, who is now teaching the first grade. In the gym we see Robert Ritter, coach, and Jerry Buchanan, the assistant coach, trying to teach all the boys how to dribble a ball. Other teachers we see are Joyce Roth, Evelyn Houshoulder, Marilyn Nieodemus, and Kathryn DeWeese. After visiting the school we agreed to take in a movie. We decided to sec A Smile That Convinces , starring Margie Knappenberger with Roy Chapman as her leading man. When we get out of the show we all feel a little lazy and decide to get some exercise, so we go to the big Huntertown Fair. Here we find all the people waiting anxiously to see who the new queen will be: Joan Minton, Leah Byerley, Elaine Gross, or Joan Phillips. While walking around the midway, we see Jack Kelham at the basketball throw. He has been there for an hour and hasn't made a basket yet. I'm just not what I used to be , he told us as he walked away sadly. Come and see the beautiful ladies! we hear someone calling. We have always liked this kind of show, so we start for the tent. What a shock! The Ladies are Gentlemen! Out on the stage comes Dave Witham, Ray Tester, Paul Dice, Bob Spangler, Jim Leazier, and Dick Garman. This is the best kick line we have ever seen. Betty Grable had nothing on these ladies It begins to get dark and we begin to get hungry. We see the sign HBIG JUMBO HOT DOGS and make a mad rush for the stand. Here we find none other than Dolly Lavachek, Connie Hercndeen, and Barbara Stirlen fixing hot dogs for a line a mile long. After having six hot dogs apiece, wc leave the fair to lerch for the rest or our class. We learn that Bruce Miniat, Cecil Shank, Richard Johnson, and Ralph Meyers have become great stars on the Zollner Piston Basketball Team. And who should be the coach but Keith Leiter, with Bill Rybolt as the assistant coach. Our class president, Byram Dickes, has become the world's greatest wrestler. Jim Southern and Roger Smith are running for Congress. Holland Thompson, Roger Jones, and Alton Gross are chefs in the famous Raymar in Huntertown. We see the skies begin to darken and it looks like a storm is coming on. We run into the nearest building to get out of the rain, the thunder roars-and wakes us up from the most fantastic dream we have ever had. Page 22

flaw 5 ln l940 seventeen adventure seekers, after crossing the sea of infancy, enter- ed the door of the lighthouse of learning and looked forward to the twelve steps which rose ahead of them. These seventeen adventurous boys and girls who took the first step together were Arnold Andrews, Leah Byerley, Paul Dice, Bonnie Forrest, Dick Garman, Alton Gross, Elaine Gross, Roger Jones, Georgia May, Jerry Miller, Pauline Peters, JoAnn Phillips, Virginia Shank, Roger Smith, Donald Surfus, Joan Wetzel, and David Witham. This same group continued climbingg and when they reached the fourth step, Nelson Arnold and Robert Ritter joined them. On the fifth and sixth steps, they met' Jerry Buchanan, Harry Johnson, Joan Leazier, Perry Leazier, Ralph Myers, Carol Rondot, Joyce Roth, and Robert Spangler. While going up the first six steps, these adventurers absorbed many of the fundamentals of reading, writing, and arithmetic: and as they advanced to the seventh and eighth steps, their num- ber was increased by the addition of Jack Kelham, Marilyn Nicodemus, and Holland Thompson. They began to take interest in outside activities such as sports and music. This group participated in a junior chorus, the first to be organized in the Huntertown lighthouse. On the eighth step the energetic boys and girls received their diplomas which represented their past efforts. The group found that the higher the steps were the more complicated the climb became. On the ninth step they met Roy Chapman, Mary Demske, Kathryn DeWeese, Dwight DeWitt, Eugene Dillman, Lois' Guysinger, Joyce Harrod, Evelyn Househoulder, Franklin Huber, Marjorie Knappenberger, Laura Konger, Dolly Lavachek, Keith Leiter, James Lutter, Robert Mason, Lois Minton, William Ry- bolt, Cecil Shank, James Southern, Barbara Stirlen, Raymond Tester, and Dora Whan. These newcomers had climbed their first eight steps in a different lighthouse. Mr. Fryback and Mrs. Hostetler led the class while they continually explored new interests. On this, the ninth step, they elected Arnold Andrews as president, Virginia Shank as vice-president, Joyce Harrod as secretary, and Frank- lin Huber as treasurer. These officers represented the class in various matters. The monotony of the climb was broken by two class parties held in the Huntertown cafeteria. Byram Dickes caught up with the bunch on the tenth step: on this step the group was guided by Mrs. Palicki and Mr. Appleman with the assistnce of Ray- mond Tester, presidentg Dora Whan, vice-president, Bonnie Forrest, secretary, and Virginia Shank, treasurer. During this year the pack gained fame by winning the class basketball tournament. Connie Herendeen and Kathryn Leffers were attached to the throng during the eleventh year. Miss Enley, Mrs. Whonsettler, and Mr. Sible directed the group. The officers were David Witham, president, Byram Dickes, vice-president: Joyce Harrod, secretaryg and Dora Whan, treasurer. In the fall the class presented the play, Date-Bait , which proved to be a great success. The boys added to the class's already impressive athletic record by winning the class tournament for the second consecutive year. They also contributed much to the high school basket- ball team which won the Allen County Tournament. This was the first time since 1926 that Huntertown has been able to accomplish this feat. Mystic May was the theme of the Junior-Senior Banquet. Upon reaching the last step the class of '52 took on Bruce Miniat and elected as its officers Byram Dickes, Lois Guysinger, Laura Konger, and Roger Jones. This year the adventurers published the Citadel and the Black and Gold Flash. They chose a red Carnation for their class flower and dove grey and white as their class colors. This year the class presented a variety show in place of the tradition- al senior class play. Mrs. Smith and Mr. Prible escorted the group to the top of the lighthouse. Now, standing on the topistep of the lighthouse, the senior class of '52 looks out onto the sea of lifeg and they suddenly realize that their class motto holds true: they are Not finished, Just begun.
