In leaving Missouri I hitch-hiked a ride with the only woman who can efficiently drive a semi. Namely, JoAnne Waterous. Her driver training in high school has been very beneficial. When I came through Chicago, I visited Edwin Parker who now owns the Swift Meat Packing Company. His trip there while in the eleventh grade helped him decide to make his career in this field. ij Carol (Irwin) Smith and Bonnie (Sparkes) Simon are now running a Lonely Hearts Club on a partnership basis. They decided since they were so happily married they would like to help those unfortunates who Cupid s bow had missed. In Lansing, Bob Kyes still has the same job he had while he was a senior. Bob hopes to be promoted to foreman before he is old enough to receive his old-age pension. Finally returning to Laingsburg, I decided it was unnecessary to visit Ted Rowley, who is owner of the big soft drinks bottling company here, and Barbara Hurst, who now wrestles every Friday night over the Gillette Blue-Blade TV show, since they both live in town and I see them often. I then returned to my humble home where I have lived since graduation. I have the, should we say, “honor” of being the only old maid of the girls who were graduated in ’51. rita McGrath, Class Prophet More Dignified Seniors Here we are, you lucky peonle.

At this time, many men were wearing military uniforms while the students of L.H.S. donned their new red and white band uni- forms acquired through the generosity of the citizens of Laingsburg. Our first class meeting was held September 25 to elect the Class Officers for the year. Those elected were: President, JERRY WATEROUS; Vice-Presi- dent, MARTHA KLOCKZIEM; Secretary, MARY MIDDAUGH; Treasurer, CARL VEITH. There were 20 members in the class at the begin- ning but during the first marking period BARRARA PETERS moved away. We started the busy year with a class party at BARBARA CRIDER’S in November. MR. and MRS. FORSTER, MRS. ANTHES, and MRS. CIDER were our chaperons. The party was very active and enjoyed by everyone. CLASS OFFICERS Our next event of the year was our Feather Party which was held December 5. We made around $157 on it. Our Valentine’s Ball was held February 24 in the new gymnasium and everyone had a great time. We had our class play in April. The Prom was the last on our schedule. The oc- casion was held in the gym on the evening of May 12, 1951. It was a pretty big moment for us since it was in the gym and our first attempt with such an affair.
