Bernard Hershberger, John Miller Junior ClosAs PAGE 10 ... The class of ’42 entered Center High School on August 28, 1938. Bernard Hershberger, Edwin Moore and John Miller enrolled on that date. About a week later Velma Bontrager joined the class. We all took part in declamatory and Bernard participated in athletics .. . ... Im the fall of 1989 there were only the three boys left, Velma having changed schools. Bernard was inter ested in declamatory and won first in humorous. Benny and Curly both went out for softball and basketball. Our class helped put on the freshman-sophomore play later in the year... . . In the fall of 1940 only two boys returned to Center. This time Edwin Moore left for Hartwick leaving only John and Bernard. Ber- nard again entered declamatory and John helped present the play “Sonny-Jane.” Bernard again went out for basketball, and won his third letter. John served his third year as student manager for the team. -.- timed pa WG Le

Class Prophecy The roses were in full bloom several weeks early. The year was 1960 and the place the Fry- town Greenhouse . .. Myrtle always did love flowers so immediately after graduation she opened a green- house in Frytown. On this particular morning she was seen walking along her bed of roses with a sprinkling can in one hand and a newspaper in the other. She was sprinkling the flowers and reading the headlines which stated that David Brenneman, a noted scientist, had just returned from Saturn in his stratoplane. Myrtle decided to make a trip at once to round up her old classmates. The next morning she boarded a Joetown Rock- et where Daniel was operating a hotel. David stay- ed there between flights. The hotel covered four blocks. The twins were ready at once to go on a trip to visit the others, so off they went in David's stratoplane. First they called on Cleo and Cleopatra’s Three Ring Circus on the outskirts of Sharon Center. They arrived only to find that in order to see Cleo they had to purchase a ticket first. Cleo knew his busi- ness principles learned as business manager of the Centerika. The first side show they came to found Nora Miller as the fat lady. She dropped the snake she was playing with and came to talk to the visitors. And Nora used to be afraid of a mouse! Nora had gained four hundred and eighty, making her total five-eighty! Cleo presently stepped up. He was surprised indeed and thanked all for their patronage. The three travelers resumed their journey and found Clifford a noted lawyer in Washington, D. C. He had just appeared before the supreme court in a law suit in behalf of Cleo. Rumors were flying around that Clifford was to run for president in 1960. Eunice was found to have just returned from a hunting trip to the Belgian Congo. This was her way of relaxing after solving murder cases. Arlene was found on an estate on the Potomac. She and her husband were operating a girls’ school. . The girls of her school had won the softball cham- pionship of the United States in 1959 and were planning a trip abroad for exhibition games. Ar- lene played on Center’s championship teams in 1939 and 1940. After locating all the members they decided on a trip to Mars. Cliff wanted publicity, David want- ed to show off, Daniel wasn’t to be left behind, Cleo wanted to see the world, Nora thought she might lose a few pounds, Eunice thought diversion good, Myrtle wanted a thrill, and Arlene wanted to study ‘astronomy. P. S. They were supposed to be back before now! PAGE 9
