Class History As the pages of our Memory Book are rapidly being completed, we turn back to the Ninth Grade and smilingly recall our high school years. When we entered our Freshmen year, we were looking forward to many new adventures. Our first adventure, which was a little scarey, was our initi- ation by the Junior Class. For our officers we selected: President, Jesse Tor- res: Vice President, Leonard Schunemang Secretary, Barbara Ray: Treasurer, Sandra Boskerg Student Board Representative, Charles Greenwald. Our spon- sors were Mr. Grove and Mr. Cooper. Our money making projects were fudge sales and bake sales. We started our Sophomore year with a little more confidence. Our officers were: President, Leonard Schunemang Vice President, Jack Stover: Secretary Barbara Ray: Treasurer, Shirley Brandt: Student Board Representative, Nola Snyder. Our sponsors were Mr. Roland and Mr. Hanson. Our second adven- ture was when our class took top honors when Barbara Ray was elected Queen of Football. There was a dance following the game in her honor. To make money we sold fudge, had bake sales, and sponsored dances. Our last event of the year was decorating the gym for Baccalaureat and graduation for the class of '53, After a most welcome vacation, we started our Jimior year. Our officers were: President, Fred Radeltg Vice President, Bob Harris: Secretary, Elaine Stern: Treasurer, Nola Snyder. Our sponsors were Mr. Skeberdis and Miss Force. The two big adventures of this year were, our Junior Play, Brides To Btu'n, which was a big success. Then came the Junior Prom, Rhapsody In Blue, with music by the Blue Note Band. We chose our class rings from the Josten Company. To make money for our Senior Trip, we sold Christmas Trees, Christmas Cards, and Magazines. Our biggest year, which was our Senior year, wes full of fun and hard work.

I A rwX ello 'Z vu 1 F ... N - Class Prophecy 1970, and at long last a long-hoped-for dream has been fulfilled. The dedi- cation of the Deanna Dayton memorial hospital in Imlay City, Michigan is being held. The ceremony opened with invocation by the Rev. Lawrence Dean. Speeches were given by Gov. of Michigan, Roger Delannoy and United States Senator, Ruth Knight. The dedication closed with benediction by the Rev. Ronald Woodworth. We decided to take a tour of the hospital and at the door we were met and greeted by the receptionist, Laura Jakobowski. In the lobby we couldn't help but notice the beautiful paintings which were the work of such famous painters as Grandma Moses and Johanna Swanson. Don and Ron Herbert were assigned to us as our guides and we entered the elevator to see Herbie Ware operating the controls. We stepped off on the first floor and head nurse, Sandra Bosker, greeted us. We entered the waiting room just in time to hear Nurse Carol Buckland announce that Mrs. Jager, the former Nancy Smith, had just become the mother of twin boys. We went into the next room and saw X-ray technician, Priscilla Brown, taking X-rays of tennis champ, Virginia Surdu, who had sprained her wrist in a practice match with Elaine Stern. Her manager, Delores Zehr, also informed us that Jim Shayna had just defeated Ray Powers in the Olympic Swimming meet. In the next ward we ran into Child Psychologist, Christine Cole, who was hav- ing quite a session with Little Deanie the latest problem in the Weaver home. His mother, the former Deloris Wilson, was with him and occupied in catching up on the latest with her informer, Suzanne Folk. She informed us that Beatrice Jager had achieved her ambition. She is now a dorm mom in the mens' dorm at Notre Dame. She also told us that Nola Snyder is now working as cigarette girl at the Servicemens' Recreation Center. Just then we heard a voice over the loud speaker that we recognized as Mar- garet Smailis calling Emergency. We rushed downstairs to see ambulance driver, Bob Stawecki, arriving with the patient, followed by Sheriff, Douglas Gould. The ambulance came to a screeching halt and the stretcher was rolled out by the carriers, John Olivo and Ron Cischke.
