At last in the fourth grade our class was altogether again, and the lucky teacher was Miss Gesaman. This year our class increased in size by having Frances Beedy and Albert DuPriest added to our roll. We were sorry that death robbed us of Bob Barton this year. We started the fifth grade off with 1 bang under the direction of Mrs. Wike. We learned many interesting things about birds during the year. Larry Johnson, a member of our class, was taken from us during the year by death. We went on to the sixth grade with wonderful dreams of soon being in Junior High School. Our teacher this year was Miss BitnesCMrs. Fleckl. During this year Peggy Melling came back to Township and Delight and Dewight Rader decided to stay with us after having changed from Horace Mann to Township several times. We were now entering Junior High and did we ever think the seventh graders were something. This year we elected class officers and had Mrs. titley for a sponsor. S Wie gained one new member in our class who went by the name of Rhea an s. By the time we were eighth gradersyve were becoming more accustomed to Junior High and again had Mrs. Stitley for a sponsor. We received two new classmates, Maynard Fisher and Shirla Tucker dur- ing the year. As Freshmen we entered High School, thrill! thrill! Our Sponsor for this year was Mrs. Glenn. Many of the girls joined an organization called G.A.A. This year we gained one new member named Ruth Ann Sharp. During the Sophomore year we tried to get back down to earth and study. ye had Mr. Yake for a sponsor and enjoyed the parties we were allowed to ave. During this year we lost Frances Beedy, Ruth Sharp and gained Bob Gamble. As we entered school our Junior year we felt rather cocky and import- ant. We had Mrs. Helen Kreiger for a sponsor. This year we gave a reception for the Seniors that we thought was simply grand .The Nautical Theme was used through out the decorations. Out of the Junior class we lost Bob Gamble, Peggy Melling, Larry Smith, and Shirley Teush. We also greeted Ronnie Hall into the class. Well this is the final step, now we are Seniors, with Helen Kreiger as our sponsor again, we have expected and have accomplished many things. There are now only 32 of us, for we lost Marilee Coles and Henry Johnson. We dreamed of graduation day, and looked forward to the Senior t1'ip. So as of now, the Seniors say goodbye to their fellow school mates. Barbara Alford Shirley Callahan Rita Barnes

F'Z.OpgLG The year 1964 has come. Ten years have passed since the Seniors of '54 were graduated from Huntington Township. Three juniors of the same year decided to inquire of their activities and their whereabouts. Before taking off from Huntington lpopulation now being 133,000J, we noticed a long line of people, waiting in front of a block long building, which is now the main office of E. R. Small and Company. Upon entering the office of the General Manager, we saw, seated at the desk, Joe Bailey. Joe informed us that one of the members of the class was holding a re- spectable position at the airport. Arriving there we saw Robert Heiney, han- dy man, cleaning the vertical gyroscopes. Bob directed us to our jet, Laroca, which was to take us to New York. On our way to the big city, we read in the papers there was a good play on Broadway named Pupicola Peruviana, which we wanted to see. We set our jet down near the theater, and went to buy our tickets. Rhea Sands, who was overheard saying she would be a hit on Broadway someday, is now an important person, selling tickets. As the curtain went up, we found the leading lady to be Shirley Wires, and the leading actor, Ray mond Sunderman. When we returned to our jet, we found someone putting nitro in our fuel tank. We took him by surprise and were astonished to find David Sailors, who explained he was making large quantities for experimental purposes, his latest being a fuel for jets. We took off with a bang, headed for London, proving Dave's experiment worked. Once in London, we looked in on Scotland Yard and bumped into Inspector Lawrence Storey, who was hot on the trail of Max Buzzard, wanted for stealing chemical formulas from the laboratory of the dominating profes- or, Ronald Motz. We left London and proceeded to Paris stopping for lunch at a sidewalk cafe and were amazed to see the waiter was Monsieur Richardo Zickafoose. On our way back to the plane we passed a model agency, and saw Sarah Biehl modeling the latest in French bathing suits. From Paris, we traveled to the French Riviera, where we encountered Donetta Hildebrand and Carolyn Keel tossing a party for Count Igor Fram- boise de Freezoue, that would cost S500,000 including paper cups for the champagne. The purpose of the party was to see which one would catch the Count as a husband. Just about everybody who was anybody and vice versa was there. Back in the jet, Laroca, we headed for Istanbul, where we found Mark McHenry, trying to change the name Istanbul back to Constantinople, but the people believed that it was nobody's business but the Turks.
