From of Claren After tered our sponsor. the seventh grade we were promoted to the competent hands Neuenschwander with only thirteen students remaining. spending a profitable year with Mr. Neuenschwander We en- first grade of high school with Mrs. Davis as our home room We lost three students and gained one, thus leaving us with eleven students. Glen Gerber came back to be with us again for the following year. Passing from the ninth grade to the tenth we were welcomed by Mr. Harris, our new coach for the High School. The tenth grade was a very profitable and enjoyable year spent. We had a successful skating party with the help of Mr. Harris. Moving on into the eleventh grade we were greeted by a whole new group of teachers, Mr. Dallas Albright, our principal, Mr. Peter Metz, our new coach, Mrs. Geneva Johnson, our new English teacher, Miss Marjorie Moore, Home-EC. teacher and Mr. Jim Moore as our commercial teacher. We had a little tough luck when Mr. Metz had to leave for the service. Mr, Forsyth was our new Government teacher and Junior-High coach, replacing Mr. Metz. Mr. Moore became our High School coach, and our class sponsor. We met for class organization and elected the fol- lowing class oilicers: president, Glen Gerber, vice president, Don Charles- ton, secretary, Barbara Lehman, and treasurer, Frank Wellman. Our class is well represented on the basketball squad. They are, Bob Switzer, Richard Stuber, Don Charleston, and Frank Wellman, with Jim Patch and Glen Gerber as our student managers. Barbara Lehman is serving us as our varsity team cheerleader. We sponsored a Fall Festival which was a great success. There are now ten members left to start our senior year. A lion got loose at the circus and ran toward a man in the audience. The man broke and ran. Trainer: Don't be afraid, that lion hasn't got any teeth. Man: Maybe not, but l'm not going to stand here and be gummed to death! Dentist: Excuse me a moment, please. Patient: Where are you going? Dentist: Patient: Twelve Before beginning work on you I must have my drill. Can't you H11 a tooth without a rehearsal?

IUNIOR CLASS d p... I Q, ... J Row 1: Francis Wellman, Patty Kelly, Glen Gerber, Imogene Miller. Bob Switzer, Barbara Lehman Row 2: Jim Patch, Sharon Teeple, Donald Charleston, Dick Stuber CLASS HISTORY Eleven years ago in September of 1941, a group of excited young chil- dren met in the first grade room of the Jefferson Township High School. It is interesting to note that out of twenty-two pupils that filled Mrs. Stein- brunner's room for the first time, only four remain, but we have picked up a few here and there since then, which now totals ten. The four which have attended Jefferson High all eleven years are, Don Charleston, Bar- bara Lehman, Pat Kelly, and Dick Stuber. Bob Switzer had the privilege of starting a year before us, but is with us now. After Miss Steinbrunner promoted us into the second grade, we added a new member into our class which happened to be Glen Gerber. Unfortunately, by the time the semester was over, Miss Steinbrunner had only seventeen pupils left. As we went from the third grade to the seventh grade we had just a few changes. Helen Kenney was our third and fourth grade teacher and Mrs. Paul Beaty was our fifth and sixth grade teacher. During the Hfth and sixth grade years, we lost one member and gained one. The one we lost happened to be Glen Gerber, and one we gained was Imogene Miller. Our first year of Junior High was pleasantly spent, with Miss Court- ney as our class sponsor. Here Miss Courtney guided us through a whole new world of school life. Here we learned the basic of class business. such as raising small sums of money, for which we could use later in the coming years. We had gained another new student for the coming year who was Sharon Teeple. Eleven

IUNIOB PROPHECY While on business in Detroit, in 1970, we visited the Ritz-Splitz Night- club on 4th Boulevard. As we went in to see the floor show, who should be playing the leading role, nobody but Marilyn Brewster! As we talked to her after the show we found that the twelve young girls in the chorus lineup were hers. She also informed us that they come 'tcheaper by the dozen. Before retiring for the evening, we decided to have a midnight snack. As we were driving down Broadway, we noticed a very outstanding sign which read Brew-Stew-15c. We decided to investigate the situation and discovered that the manager was none other than Virginia Brewster. The next morning, while driving to North Dakota, we saw a game wardenls car and as we passed it, we thought we saw a very familiar face, which happened to be Larry Miller. While talking to him, he told us that he has been a game warden for the past 10 years. He informed us that he was keeping close tab on all pheasant hunters, especially Sunday hunters! Coming through Minneapolis, we stopped to see a professional basket- ball game and who should step out to fill Mikan's shoes,-after he was crowned Mr, Basketball, -nobody but Gilly Kuhn, After the game we went to the dressing room and talked with Gilly. He told us that the Lakers are now referred to as Coon and Company. On our way horneward, we stopped at the Indianapolis Speedway to see the Five Hundred Mile Classic. As we watched the race, we saw Jack Wendel speeding by in the General Motors latest racing car powered by Chevrolet. After a few laps, here came Jack around the curve pushing his hopped up Chevrolet, after his motor had burned up. As we were returning home through Blue Creek Township We passed by a prosperous looking chicken farm. We stopped in to investigate and found it was owned and operated by Richard Keller. While talking to him, we learned that he had cooked up a new formula for high school henpeck- ness. We sincerely wish all our classmates the happiness of a full and satisfy- ing life. Thirteen
