CLASS PROPI-IECY WHAT: Class Reunion WHO: Senior Class of 1950 DATE: July 16, 1965 TiME: 12:00 P. M. PLACE: Jackson Community Park, located near the Jackson Coliseum, where the 1964 Bas- ketball Semi-finals were held. Yes, it's really true, the whole class has met for a class reunion. After a large dinner, we decided to find out what our classmates are doing at the present time. First, we saw Norman, his wife, and five boys. He finally got a basketball team! He informed us he was coach at Jackson and his team has won the state finals for the last three years. Sitting next to Norman was Don Hainlen, a successful fruitgrower. For the past 10 years, Don has been shipping fruit all over the United States and to the far distant corners of the world. We see he has remained a bachelor through all these years. Coming towards us just then, were Tom and Roberta, who are following the footsteps of Marie and Pierre Curie. Married during their third year of college they discovered a new element which is used in the hydrogen bomb. Being too busy with their careers, they only have two boys, age 8 and 10. Moving on, we noticed a flashily dressed play- boy. To our surprise, it was Ramon! lt seemed soon after he was married he discovered oil in his backyard. He invited us to drop in at his man- sion outside New Orleans anytime. Busily engaged in conversation were the two Joans, both of whom were married. The former Joan Kendall had travelled from New York with her husband, to attend the reunion. She is the principal illustrator for Charm magazine and runs a Fashion Shop on Fifth Avenue. Joan Winger in- formed us she went to college and is now a storyteller on station JWZZ. She has been married 11 years and has three children, two girls and a boy. From San Francisco, the distinguished music conductor, Dick Summers, said he took time out from his musical tour to be with his old class- mates again. After studying at a music conserva- tory for six years, he became the leader of his own orchestra. Holding a pair of twins on her lap was Marilyn. For two years after graduation, she tried her luck in the business world but found that being a housewife was more interesting. Sitting next to Marilyn was Ellen, her husband, and seven children. They run a chicken farm in the suburbs of Sycamore. The children help out a great deal. The owner of the chartruse convertible, we learned, was Charles Hazlett. He began his car- eer working at an automobile plate at Plevna and is now owner and manufacturer of the Hazlett Special, a jet-propelled job. Everoyne was asking for a song from Carolyn. For ten years, she studied voice in the United States and Italy, and is now singing at the Metro- politan Opera House. She and her husband travel- led from New York with Joan Kendall and her husband. After Betty graduated, she went to Florida where she took up interior decorating. She told us she has designed the interior of hotels in many of Florida's famous resorts. Last, but not least, we talked to Jerry. He said he has worked on television for the past 13 years and owns a large station at Sycamore. It was certainly good to talk to all of our old classmates again and recall old times together. The reunion was enjoyed so much, we decided to have another one in 1980.

Jen. CLASS HISTORY Way back in 1946 fifteen students entered the freshman class of Jackson. Ready and willing, they consisted of Bob Brough, Tom Pyke, Don Hainlen, Jerry Rhoades, Norman Stockberger, Ramon Dill, Dick Summers, Charles Hazlett, J oan Winger, Carolyn Rudy, Marilyn Shockley, Betty Boswell, Roberta Warnock, Ellen Douglass, and Joan Kendall. Our class organized, electing Tom Pyke, president, Jerry Rhoades, vice president, Dick Summers, treasurer, and Betty Boswell, secretary. Miss Mary Martin was chosen as our sponsor. After a dreaded initiation given by the sopho- mores, the class felt as if they could face any- thing. At the beginning of our sophomore year our class was the same as during the freshman year. Mr. Miller was chosen as sponsor and class offi- cers were elected as follows: Tom Pyke, presi- dent, Joan Winger, vice president, Carolyn Rudy, treasurer, Joan Kendall, secretary. This year it was our turn to initiate the freshmen, which we were glad to do. One of the most important things this year was the ordering and receiving of our class rings. A few days after school was out, the class took a trip to Turkey Run, which everyone enjoyed. Our junior year found us losing one of our members, Bob Brough, and gaining one, Dorothy Baker. We chose Mr. Miller for our sponsor again, and elected these officers: Tom Pyke, president, Joan Kendall, vice-president, Norman Stockber- ger, treasurer, and Jerry Rhoades, secretary. This year we chose class colors, red and beige. We sent for and received our class sweaters. The main event of the year was our junior play, which was The Angell Bratsn and was presented April 5 and April 6. To end the year we again took a trip to Turkey Run. At last we have become dignified Seniors! It al- so means our last year of high school. We lost one member of our class, Dorothy Baker, and have fourteen remaining Seniors, these being: Don Hainlen, Carolyn Rudy, Joan Winger, Betty Bos- well, Ellen Douglass, Ramon Dill, Dick Summers, Marilyn Shoekley, Roberta Warnock, Norman Stockberger, Tom Pyke, Charles Hazlett, Joan Kendall, and Jerry Rhoades. The class was or- ganized the first day of school. Officers were: Tom Pyke, president, Joan Kendall, vice-presi- dent, Betty Boswell, secretary, and Roberta War- nock, treasurer. Mr. Cameron was chosen for sponsor. On October 20 and 21, we presented our Senior play, Whoa Auntie. October 29 we sponsored a Halloween Carnival, with each of the classes having booths. Another headache of the Senior year is the put- ting out of the school paper and annual, but we all think they are very worthwhile. After our long awaited class trip, Baccalaureate, and Commencement, our school days have come to an end. Whether we are sad or glad, we'll long remember our days at dear old J. H. S.
