June 3, 1964 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY New York City Left 10:15 p.m. for west coast. Art Designer Dolores Booth is in charge of Madem- oiselle Bonet's while Bonnie and I are touring the world to get ideas for new designs. As her business manager, 1 am responsible for all necessary arrangements. Leaving on chartered plane for Los Angeles, we were surprised at discovery of pilot and co- pilot Gary Tycer and Arnold Mellow, who have established their own business after be coming renowned jet aces in the recent interplanetary conflict. Another unexpected discovery was Stewardess Shirley Clar, who met us with an engaging smile. June 4, 1964 Los Angeles Arrived 3 a. m. at Los Angeles Airport. Met by reporters, among whom we found Gene Ivy, now employed by the Los Angeles Universal-Express. During a nap at our suite in the Hotel Ambassador, we were awakened by Cosmic Union messenger boy, Larry Sanders, who delivered an invitation from Mr. Earl C. Reinoehl, who read of our arrival in the paper and was throwing one of his well known parties for members of the IVHS class of '54. Larry left with a ten dollar tip and an acceptance to Earl's party! That evening at the Brown Derby in Hollywood, whom should we discover at the table next to us but Freda Stepp and family on a two-week vacation from their hardwood store in Laramie, Wyoming. We were also pleased at finding George Bell a bus boy there. Entering the taxicab outside the restaurant, we found Wes Haggerty, who boasts of six years driving in traffic without any fatilities! As we approached our hotel, we notices the advertising in front, announcing the opening engagement of Mary Taylor at the Cocoanut Grove that evening. Deciding not to miss it, we arrived just in time for the first show, which included a song, written by a struggling com- poser, Joe Spalinger, entitled, If I Knew You Were Cornin' I'da Gone to the Moon. June 5, 1964 2 p. m. Attended style show given by designer Adrian at the downtown Biltmore. Dis- cussing cloth texture backstage, we encountered Bob Vaughn and Jack Behm, who had just arrived to pick up their wives; two of the models. When the topic of con- versation turned to hair styles, Adrian informed us that all of his models patron- ized the Salon Salle in Beverly Hills, owned by Sally Tucker, who has just recently made popular a style called Rrrr-WhoOosh after the latest jets. Arriving at Earl's estate in the San Fernando Valley, he told us that he had built it two years ago as a result of his gold wells in Alaska and oil mines in Texas. Standing in the main entrance hall, we greeted many of our old classmates including: Mel Barton, who is living with his wife and kids in San Antonio, Texas; Mrs. Gerald Miller (formerly Moonyeen Deaton) who spends her time at her ranch in Montana; Mr. and Mrs. Louis Watson, living in Cave Junction, as Louis is teaching Arts and Crafts at I V; Ray James, Ko Krauss, and Perry Pullen, partners in the Moonstruck Engineering Company in Galvarino, Chile, S. A. ; Warren and Treva Cook who, together with Bill McKinnon, own and operate a night club and gambling casino in Las Vegas, Nevada; Shirley Elliott and Marie Johnson, working at the Barrow Alaska Grammar School, teaching Eskimos; and Roberta England, just in from Mexicc City, where she is Professor of Music at the University there. On the way to see the wine cellar, we encountered Charles Marchant; Jim Yandell, Dick Bliss, and Stan Dick, who have established themselves as miners and fishermen in Alaska; Connie Mann and Bob Carver, halfway through their first million as a result of following the races; and Hope McMullen, Georgia Pickens, Donna Hale, and Norma Payne, all living around Grants Pass and Cave Junction with their families. As we entered the recreation room, we were startled by the grandeur of the servicemen in front of us, watching swim star Jeanne Chappel execute her Jet Pro- pelled Jackknife from fifty feet up. As they turned around, we recognized Capt. John Clayton, U. S. Army; Chief Petty Officer Herb Chamberlin; and Charles Marshall A lc. Feeling slight hunger pangs, we made our way to the terrace where chefs Henry Krauss and Don Warren, assisted by Stella Davis, were supervising the preparation of the Kodiak bear, which Earl bagged on his last hunting trip. All of a sudden there was a tremendous howl from across the way, followed by an explosion, as Bud Wallace and Clint Etherton came bounding over the hedge to announce that Earl's late model Venusiae, which they had been fixing for him, had blown up. They are the owners of a hot rod race track in San Berdue, California. Over caviar and beans, we discussed with Dan Lewis, the critics' reviews of his latest novel, entitled, Life With a Cosmic Character , published just last month. Just then, Earl approached with a telegram from Mae Bowerman, sending regrets as to her absence, but her work as chairman of the committee, Clean Up the Chicago Slums , couldn't be left at the moment. Earl accompanied us to his theater, saying that Dick Masters had finally made a successful film debut with his latest picture, The Story of a Jet Ace and Three Loves . During the newsreel, we saw flashed of the landing of scientist, Dr. Bob Kester, with financier, Ron Terrel, from their most recent trip to Mars. Another flash took us to Paris, where Arline Pickle had just arrived on her way around the world on foot. Finally, bidding farewells to all, we entered Earl's limousine for the trip back to the hotel. Just then, an armoured taxicab screeched to a stop. Our former adviser, R. G. Newman, hopped out, followed by Mary Lockhart, apologizing for being late, but he and Mary (a Certified Public Accountant) had been struggling with his latest income tax revision ! !

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We entered the high school scared stiff, but anxiously awaiting freshmen initiation. Elected as our first class officers were: Bob Kester, president; Mae Bowerman, vice-president; Don Boucher, secretary; Larry Farmer, treasurer; Arnold Mellow, sergeant-at-arms; Beverly Tabor and Ron Terrel, student council representatives. Our adviser was Mr. Beyer. We sponsored a very successful dance, to which the whole student body was invited. We didn't make much profit, but the cider and do-nuts were certainly good. Later, we saw Queen and King of Hearts, Mae Bowerman and Bob Kester, ascend to the throne at the annual P. T. A. Valentine Dance. We all had loads of fun selling tickets and enjoyed the thrill of triumph over the other classes. We attacked our second year of high school with vim and vitamins, under the able leadership of our class officers. These consisted of : Mae Bowerman, pres- ident; Jeanne Chappell, vice-president; Mary Taylor, secretary; Warren Cook, treasurer, and commendable student council representatives, Joe Spalinger and Chris Duncan. Our energetic class sponsored a Sophmore class party on October 19th. Following this was a Cake Walk and the Valentine Dance, both equally successful; with Warren Cook and Treva Lee Allen elected King and Queen of Hearts at the latter event. Altogether, this Sophomore year was a very successful and profitable one under the guidance of Miss Josephine Hoesley, adviser. Juniors! ! ! What a name! Sounds like a big executive. Now we could sponsor all those chills and spills of those wonderful skating parties. As we got into the swing of school again we elected our class officers: Joe Spalinger, president; Charles Marchant, vice-president; Joan Yandell, secretary; Mary Lockhart, trea- surer; Earl Reinoehl, sergeant-at-arms; Bob Kester and Treva Lee Allen, class representatives. Also with the help of our two fine advisers, Mrs. Dunn and Mr. Schreiber, we accomplished a lot of work. Football, with all its broken bones and bruises, didn't discourage us from having some good players: Mel Barton was on the first string of the All Star team, Dick Bliss and Warren Cook on the second team in the Southern Oregon Conference. Mel Barton was also on the second string in basketball. Rhumba, samba and jitterbug, reigned at the Valentine Dance along with our candidate, Mary Taylor and her escort, Joe Spalinger, as Queen and King of Hearts. Being smart Juniors, we saved our money for the annual Prom, which was held on the night of April 25th. It was considered the best Prom ever held at I. V. The theme was The Gay Nineties . Fun was had by all, even after all the bills were paid and nothing was left in the treasury. The junior play was presented by the Clark Gables and Betty Grables of our class. These dramatic juniors presented, Professor, How Could You? It was a howling success and almost landed on Broadwav. We have finally made it! After eleven years, and $276 clear profit, we emerged into our final year at I. V. as almighty seniors . With such out- standing class officers as Ron Terrel, president; Dick Bliss, vice-president; Treva Allen, secretary; Charles Marshall, treasurer; Jim Yandell, sergeant- at-arms; and student council representatives Chris Duncan and Chuck Marchant, we have undertaken many projects. Since it is our last year, we have put every- thing we have into football, scoring Cook, Mellow and Barton on the All Star first string, Dick, Bliss and Reinoehl, second string and Kester, honorable mention. When carnival time rolled around, we placed first in both divisions: ticket sales and booth sales. The Snow Ball, held on January 2, was a huge success as was our senior play. The four years at I. V.H. S. will never be for- gotten by any of us who have enjoyed it so much. «: ■. a m m Kneeling: Al Laborde, Jim Eggers Standing: Merrill Simington, Gladys Laborde, Linda George The class of '55 upon entering school in September of 1951, received the traditional welcome of freshmen initiation. The first function of the class was to elect our class officers. They were: Pat Kellar, president; Nisha Moyer, vice-president; Joan Smith, secretary; Gearldine Wells, treasurer; Jim Hemingway, sergeant-at-arms; Jackie Stronkirch and Larry Sauers, student council representatives; Mr. Larson, class adviser. We soon joined the various school activities and sponsored a Barn Dance, which was a big success. As sophomores, we elected the following officers: Merrill Simington, president; Russell Berkner, vice-president; Pat Kellar, secretary; Char Moore, treasurer; Dennis Krauss, sergeant-at-arms; Jackie Strohkirch and Jim Scott, student council representatives. Mr. Peters was our class adviser. The important event of this year was the annual biology field trip vhich Mr. Barnes conducted. At this time, the class also had a very successful beach party. This year as upperclassmen, at last, we elected the following as our officers: Jim Eggers, president; Gladys Laborde, vice-president; Merrill Simington, secretary; Linda George, treasurer; Al Laborde, sergeant- at-arms; Jackie Strohkirch and Jim Scott, student council representatives. Our advisers were Mr. Peters and Mrs. Benge. We have sponsored many successful skating parties. We again elected ShirleyPeningerand Russell Berkner as our candidates for Carnival Queen and her attendant. The climax of our Junior year came when we presented the Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom. We were proud to have several members of our class hold so many important positions in school affairs, as we are now the smallest class of I. V. We are looking forward to our last year at I. V. , next year, and hope we may do as well then as we have this year.

Our first function as a class was to elect our class officers. Donna Zimmerman was elected president; Shirley Charlie, vice-president; Edytha Scott, secretary; Bonnie Scranton, treasurer; Jim Smith, sergeant- at-arms; Gary Holm and Carole Bliss, Student Council Representatives. In November we sponsored a Sock Hop . This was given in honor of the seniors. We also had a half-day off, because of our hard work on the Bleacher Raffle . The seniors won by a small margin and also got a half-day off. Soon we were sophomores and again busily electing our class officers. They are: President, Don King; vice-president, Lee Carothers; secretary, Barbara Prewitt; treasurer, Kenneth Rosenberg; sergeant-at-arms, Darrell Smith; Class Representatives, Donna Zimmerman and Greg Floyd. Our class advisers are Mr. Smith and Miss Conlogue. We sponsored a sophomore class party on Saturday, October 17. Every- one was invited and enjoyed it thoroughly.

CAREER DAY On Tuesday, October 27, 1953 a career day was introduced to the students of I. V. H. S. On this day the students chose three fields into which they might wish to venture someday. There were speakers from Eu- gene, Medford, Grants Pass and local. Each lecture lasted one hour of which the last fifteen min- utes were devoted to questions from the students. This was very educational and enjoyed by all. We, the students, wish to thank the speakers for their time and energy givien in the interest of all.
