Class History Way back in '37, a group of little boys and girls toddled into Liberty School in the iair city of Churchhill. Bob Kay, Bay Gifford, Bill Edwards, Herman Sostaric, Ray Miketa. Ioann Milliman, Laurel Draves, Alice O'Connell, lean Frew, Thelma Dieter, Doris Homer, Iack Nearhoof, Ann Killmeyer, Iune Thomas, Bob Welk, Alfred Osgood, Ioe Davidson, and Dick Beach made up part of this group. They were frightened and quiet-a far cry from their present character. In second grade Herbie Pittock, Edmond Fredericks, Jack Cramer, lane Berlin, Esther Daley, Doris Elseg, Paul Drvodelic, Nick DiVencenzo, and lim Mapes decided to join the gang. That was the year Doris Homer got her front tooth broken off, and the boys thought they could get away with smoking behind the garage. And, oh! that nasty word from that rhyme, First grade, angels: second grade. s - - - s. Into the third grade these brave two-year veterans marched. Bob Pratt was the only person added to our class that year. lean didn't even know that Bob was alive. Imagine that ! ! No one joined the class in our fourth year of school. The class was beginning to 1oosen up. Remember all those recesses and noons we had to stay in for talking? In fifth grade Danny Fedorchak, Harry Minnick, and Eva Mae Wilson joined the class. Ozzie and Laurel got disgusted with Liberty and left us. Esther was the first girl to latch on to Danny. Who ever told Minnick that Ioann Milliman liked him? Helen Colbert came to our school in the sixth grade. This year the Kay-Milliman romance blossomed out. Mrs. Kay got excited and hit Bob Welk on the head with a book. That explain what is the matter with him. Jumping rope, Drop 13. and Release were the favorite games of both the boys and the girls. Remember all the black and blue marks we had? While we're talking about it, who put the orange peelings down Chicken's back during reading class? If Mrs. Kay was going to make the boys and girls sit together for talking, why didn't she pick out the right people! Seventh grade marked a new turn in the path. We were really growing up. This year, we even began to change classes. We were presented this year with a few new members of our class: Ianice Bott, Margaret Maurer, Iohnny Homonek, Mathew Fleming, and Betty Fritz. The following year, grade eight, Bob Fredericks and Kenny Turner were added to the class. Two big handsome men! ! And Kenny was so-o-o-o bashful, too. ' Ninth grade added Mark Iennings and Delores Hossman to our class. We'll never forget how scared and shy Hossie was. And Mark. well he's always been the class cut-up. We were glad to have both of them. During the tenth grade, we lost one oi our classmates. Iohnny Home-inek decided that he would like to try the Army life, andfso he did! We were very sorry to lose him. But with Iohnny's leaving, two of our old classmates, Alfred Osgood and Laurel Draves. decided that Liberty wasn't so bad after all and came back to join us once again. Eleventh grade was an important one to us in many ways. This year added Bob Baker, Dorothy Tarica, and Mary Lou Scott to our class. Along with the excitement of the junior year went the picking of class rings, the class play, and that one event which is looked forward to by everyone. our first prom. V Now the great day ! ! We finally made the grade. We were SENIORS! We did not acquire any new members in the class. but we were very unfortunate in our loss of three-Bob Fredericks. Bob Pratt, and Herb Pittock. All three of these lads became sailors of the sea. Through these twelve years in which we acquired our education and became prepared to enter this great business world, we have made many new friends. They have, each and every one of them, been a true, kind friend, and we are proud of all our classmates. To the coming classes, we hope that you shall. have as nice a group of friends and classmates as we have had during the past years. We sincerely ieel that we have one of the finest classes ever to pass through the doors of good old Liberty High School. 'El Page Nineteen lil'

Destiny's Call As I look into my crystal ball, I think of those in the Senior Class. What would be destiny's call, To them in the years that pass? Would Baker be a commentator on the radio? Would Hossie ever find the one she wants? Would Bubbles be selling Texaco? And would Bill still go to his old familiar haunts? Would lean become a sailor's wife? Would Danny to Esther be true? Would Chicken lead a bachelor's life? And would Doris be a bride, too? Would Suspie be an umpire? And Mapes a ladies' man? Would Paul become an airplane flyer? And would Bob marry Ioann? Would Iane always be Larry's favorite singer? Would Kenny lead a band? Would Helen have that ring on her finger? Would Ann always be willing to lend a hand? Would Ray and Harry still pal around? Would Eva always be so quiet? Would Marge drive her car abound? Would Ianice be Mrs. McKnight? Would Iune always be so sweet? Would Joe always be so shy? Would Dorothy always be so petite? Would Cramer never stop asking Why ? Would Mark become a doctor? Would aiming high always be Gizzy's ambition? Would Ozzie be a contractor? Would Beach be an electrician? Would Doris and Thelma always be so chummy? Would Matt always be such a good friend? Would Torchy and Betty always have dispositions so sunny? Would Alice's talking never end? Would Bob Welk always walk so slow? Would Nick always be so sleepy? Would Scottie with friendliness glow. And always be cheery? Oh crystal ball, these visions you show, Of the Class of 49 , Let them live on and let Liberty know, That these last twelve years were fine. Ioann Milliman if Page Twenty-one H'-
