0:55 pl 0l0A2Cy Monday, June 25, 1961 nAll aboard!! For New York, Philadelphia, and points south! Train leaving on track four.n nI'd better hurry,n thought Shirley, who was being pushed along with her sister Donna, through the gates. nHow exciting New York is going to be,n she thought, nespecially when I give my prepared lecture on child care at New York Hospital. I remember our Senior trip..New York ....How excited we all were...especially me, because it was my first visit to the city. I'll probably be seeing an old classmate when I arrive there. Betty Carr is Head Supervi- sor of nurses at New York Hospital. Betty and I will have much to talk about when we see each other.n nHere boy, Ifll take a paper,n said Shirley. WWhat's this!! 'MAN ATTEMPTS TO MAKE FULL SCALE MODERN FARM OUT OF MANHATTAN ISLAND.' Why Donna, that's John Gremer, a mem- ber of my Senior Class. I always knew he loved farming, but must he go this far!n nl wonder what has happened in the past ten years to all the other members of the Class of '5l. Let's see.u nRemember a couple of months ago when Barry Hewlett, now in the Navy, steered his ship to safety, over roaring seas? That certainly took courage and bravery.n nJoan Carraher is chief financial accountant in the United States Treasury now. She's the luckiest one of all of us. Imagine being in the middle of all that money!n nG1nny Moeller is in New York now, too. It must be very interesting being Secretary to the Mayor. Another prominent secretary was graduated frmn J.C.S. in 1951. Wanda Olapper must see Ginny quite often, being the secre- tary to Governor Dewey. The Governor and the Mayor cou1dn't have obtained any better girls.n nLook at this article, Shirley. 'BURGER AND BALDWIN BREAK RECORD FOR ROUND THE WORLD FLIGHT'n read Donna. 'HI always knew that Fred and Milt would make good f11ers,n replied Shirley. UI remember when they broke the news to us at the lunch table about wanting to join the Air Corps and we never believed them.n nAt least two of your classmates are living nice quiet lives,n said Donna, nEllen Buck's home demonstration course at college proved worthwhile, since she is married and has three lovely children. I also hear that 'Luise-Duerr is back teaching kindergarten at J.c.s.n As the train rattled on toward the city, Shirley dozed off...her head full of memories of the class of l95l....... What will ten years bring for the Class of '5l. Good fortune? Prosperity? Happiness? We hope so with all our hearts.

Cyan ,Maiorg Let's think back through the pages of our history books and see what stories are revealed about the Class of 1951. Although we have encountered many set-backs, we have contin- ued to push onward until reaching our goal - Senior Gradua- tion. First, we will start way back with Ancient History or the time when we were Freshmen. One of our many mishaps was our Freshmen Initiation. This was the day when we came to school looking like tattered and torn rag dolls. During that year we sponsored a dance, nRainbow Innn, and a bake sale. The leaders during these ancient times were: Presi- dent, Jeanne Edwardsg Vice-President, Betty Ann Carr: Secre- tary, Virginia Moellerg Treasurer, Shirley Hillisg and Stu- dent Councilor, Ellen Buck. Mrs. Carr was our class advisor. Following this era we will review the nDarkLAgesn when we were sophomores. During this period in history we sold pencils, on which were printed the Basketball Schedules. We held an April Fool's Day Dance which helped to increase our Treasury. Our officers were: President, Betty 'Ann Carr, Vice-President, Barry Hewlettg Secretary, Wanda Clapperg Treasurer, Shirley Hillisg and Student Councilor,Ellen Buck. Our class advisor was Mr. Churchill. Next, came the Renaissance Period when we were Juniors. Because of the success of our pencil sales in our Sophomore year, we continued this ideap During the Renaissance period everyone became conscious of beauty andornamentation, so to keep up with the times we ordered our class rings. we chose a rectangular shaped ring with gold setting and the school crest was mounted on various stones. Our government was run by: President, Fred Baldwing Vice-President, Milton Burger, Secretary, John Gremerg Treasurer, Donald' Vroomang and Stu- dent Councilor, Ellen Buck. Mr. Churchill was our advisor for this phase of history. At last we come to Modern History or our Senior year. First of all we had to continue the old tradition and initi- ate the Freshmen. For a day we were ableuto get our revenge and rule one class and how we loved it! In the evening of Fresh Initiation we held a Halloween Party. Other events that we sponsored during the year were a class dance and various bake sales. With the proceeds from these and pre- vious affairs we took our Senior Trip to New York City at Easter'tim6. Officials during this time were: President, Joan Carraherg Vice-President, Fred Baldwing Secretary, Wan- da clapperg Treasurer, Luise Duerrg and Student Councilor, Betty Ann Carr. Je would like to thank Mrs. Holsinger for her patient guidance during this year? S M
