CLASS PROPHESY fC0nt.l Tearing myself away, I dashed out to find a taxi. As I scrambled into the taxi, I found my driver to be none other than Paul Wensink. As we were driving along a beautiful palm lined drive, the motor star- ted to sputter. Luckily we were near a garage. It was the most modern garage I had ever seen. We were very glad to see Cloyce Wells to be the proud owner. The job was finished in record time and I was on my way once again. Not knowing any place in particular to go myself, my driver told me about the AFRICAN NITE CLUB. We drove there, and upon entering, I found it to be the swankiest club I had ever seen, and it was operated by none other than my old friend, Dale Kern. After getting settled at a table, I was astonished to find Irvin Kline to be the star comedian. He had gotten his start by cracking corny jokes at Jackson High and is now one of the best in the business. After the show I unexpectedly saw Jim Drummer and in the next half hour that we spent talking, I found him to be the head of a university and running it very efficiently. He had studied to be a teacher, and due to his ability he was soon promoted. In the interview with Jim I learned that Donna Bollenbacher was now a housewife for Don and lived on Second Street, so I decided to pay her a visit. I found her and her home both looking like a million dol- lars with her husband and seven sweet little children. I was glad to see that her dream had come true. Meeting so many of my old class mates and having had such an ex- citing day had tired me, so I decided to rush home and tell Dorothy of my experience. ausaeaaees 9.25.22 5152252 lb started our first year in school with 31 members in our class: These were: Harold Decker, Deloris Courtney, Elmer Heffinger, Jimmie Martin, Paul Wensink, Tommy Perkins, Vonnie George, Dorothy Kaughman, Leoma Kirkendall, Elda Cohrs, Marilyn J.

Miss Herma Buhler greeted us on our first day at school and many of us were a little afraid, but soon got over it. The first to leave us was Treva Freeman who was killed in an auto- mobile accident. In the course of the next few years we gained a few members. These were: Howard Davis, Dorothy Webb, Phyliss Bowser, Joan Mitchell, Richard England, Lawrence Kirkendall, Jacqueline Coolidge, Teddy Bauman, Gerald Spence, and Patsy Ann Leaders. We also lost some of our number. The teachers we had during the first six years were Miss Buhler, Miss Catherine Alban, Miss Kathryn Sockman, Miss Lois Mercer, and Miss Lois Van Dorn, in this order.

CLASS HISTORY fC0nt.J Seventh Grade After the lower grades were through, we were glad to get on to the Junior High. Our sponsor for the Seventh Grade was Kate Leathers. In this grade we acquired 4 new members who were: James Drummer, Mildred Payne, Dale Kern, and Glen Hennings. Eighth Grade This year we again chose Kate Leathers to be our class sponsor. Our class was strengthened with new members, who were Robert Williams and Robert Newcomer. The class had a few parties so we d1dn't fair too badly. FI'6Shm9R Ah! We have finally made high school after eight gruelling years in the lower grades and feel pretty cocky now. Robert Williams, Rob- ert Newcomer, Grace Harrington, and Mildred Payne left our class in the latter part of the year. This year we chose Miss Reba Wagner our class sponsor. Nothing much happened this year and we d1dn't get to have our Initiation or Scrap Day as is usually done, although we did have a school party and a few of us skipped out when we were supposed to do the dishes. Sophomores This year we chose Mr. J. P. Merrill as our class sponsor and had a lot of fun with him. We were very happy to have ordered our rings so that they would be here the next year. Juniors When we came back to school, Harold Decker did not answer to the role call, but Bill Phillips, a new member from Cleveland, took his place. Our most exciting events were receiving our r1ngs,Kof which we were very proudl, giving our class play 'The Great Ben A1lah', and giving the seniors their banquet. Our sponsor for this year was Miss Ruth Hitchcock, and we thank her for her help in all our activities. Seniors This is the final year that we seniors have been waiting for now through 11 hard years in school. Since Patty Myers got married, she didn't return this year, and we only have 15 members left in our class, 6 girls and 9 boys. Mrs. Imogene Fenimore was chosen as.our class sponsor and the following are class officers: President - Donna Bollenbacher Vice-Pres. - Irvin Kline Sec.-Treas. - Lois Stimmel Reporter - Cloyce Wells Most of us had our pictures taken at Boles-Dandurand Studio at Tiffin, and later B111 Phillips and Dale Kern had theirs taken at the same place. Dorothy Webb has been in the hospital most of the year, but hopes to return to school in April. Our class play has not been chosen yet, but we hope it will be a success when we have it. We chose our class graduating caps and gowns to be blue and white.
