CLASS COLOR BLUE AND WHITE CLASS FLOWER AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE ZZ Class Prophecy we, the Seniors of 1956, having received our diplomas, are about to venture into the vast region of the unknown. We shall spin the Wheel of Fortune and see what the future holds for us. As the wheel stops, we find James Klrkbride, who is the President of the N.B.C. Television Network, reading the evening paper. I see here that Arlene Muir still has her old job as editor. She ls the editor of the 'Star Gazette', the biggest selling newspaper in the country. Her production assistants are Patrlcla Smith and Miriam wlttrlg. The headline states that Gabriel Kowalski ls running for President of the United States. His running mate for Vice President ls Charles Dockham. Their campaign manager, Betty Steffes, and associates, Dolores Watson, Shirley Edwards, Lary Smith, and Lupe Gutierrez feel confident of a victory. It reads here that Carl Arko and his assistant, Jack Kaake, have just flnlshed building a new jet plane which is supposed to be the fastest one ever built. what! Imlay City High School has a new agriculture teacher, Ronald VanTlne. His students have just won the plaque for parliamentary procedure. Imlay City has a new Chief of Police, Dale Rowley, his assistant is Wllllam Stroman. They are not letting many offenders of the law get by them. Sharon Anderson has just received her stripes from the army. She likes the army, and she has re-enlisted for two more years. A blg dairy farm at Imlay City is owned and operated by Gary Nelson. He employs Glen Stern and Ronald Muxlow. Doctor Kay Placeway has just completed a famous brain operation. The nurses that assisted her are Elaine Thatcher and Jane Rogers. Esther Sefcovlc is doing a splendid job of writing editorials for the newfsigifa to the sports pages, I find that Duane Maison and Isaac Ferrler are playing basketball for Michigan State. Margaret Stern has just swum the English Channel, setting a new time record- The hot-roo races have just been completed with Clyde Berllnger and Kenneth Gould in first and second places respectively. Patricia Benner and Janice Kalbfleisch have just won a dancing marathon. Glanclng through the society pages, I noticed that Gail Bogart is displaying her new spring fashions. Her model ls Patrlcla West--a very stunning model. Her associates and fashion buyers are Lorraine Hoeksema, Beverly Vlleg and Marlon Strump. They have just returned from the Paris Style Show. Sandra Maples has created a new hair style, the 'Arabian Crew-Cut.n It is modeled by Carol Eddy and styled at Marllu LePard's Beauty Salon. Eileen Rathka ls giving a recital at Carneige Hall. The Grand-Ole Opery has a new singing sensation, Mary Howard. She is the teen-agers favorite singer. Marilyn Clark ls singing with the Voice of Firestone Choraleers. She ls reported to have the best of notices. Mr. 8 Mrs. James Frantz have returned from their honeymoon ln Bermuda. Mrs. Frantz ls the former Karen Caldwell. Louella Clark ls the proud mother of Uquads.' She and her husband are living ln Imlay City. wayne Samson ls a clergyman of the Methodist Church. He is doing an outstanding job in the mission field with Naomi Metzger as his assistant. She is the head of a missionary school. Gall Nelson is still a social butterfly. She ls going with a Texas millionaire. Marlene Stern is the head bookkeeper for the J. P. Morgan Company on New York's Wall Street. Beverly Parnlcky, Ruth Woodworth, and Edith Ryckman are happily married and giving ln Imlay City. Their children are keeping the teachers at school very usy. Looking through the local news, I see that David Guzman and Fred King are the owners of the DeLuxe Theater. Wayne Lerette ls the chief cartoonist for the paper. His cartoons are keeping the country in a gala mood. Maybe I should read the paper more often. What do you think?

Members of the F.F.A. begin farm projects when they are freshmen and continue to work on the projects and earn money from them throughout their high school years. An F.F.A. point system was worked out giving credit to those deserving lt. Under this system awards are given for a certain number of points. The highlighting activity of the F.F.A. this year was the Parent and Son Banquet held during the first part of April. This banquet was planned to honor officers and honorary members of the organization. Other activities for the year were planned by chosen committees. A few of the most important of these activities were: sending delegates to the National and State Conventions, sending members of Parliamentary Procedure to the district F. F. A. Contest, attending a district grain show, and planning for a pancake supper.

Everyday third and fifth hours one can hear music drifting through the halls of the vocational building--this indicates that either the band or the choral groups are hard at work under the direction of the O'Del1s. On December 23 the Chorus combined with the Girls Glee Club and Band to lead the student body in the singing of Christmas Carols. The Spring Concert presented April 17 was one of the highlights of the Music Department as well as the school. They sang such tunes as DRY BONES, ROBERTA, COTTON EYED JOE and SUNRISE ON EASTER MORNING. The Imlay City Band took second place in the Contest of Bands held in Flint.
