Memoriam At this, one of the happiest milestones of our high school life, we the class of 1949, pause to remember in sorrow the passing of one of our best loved classmates and friends, and to dedicate this annual to the memory of Virginia Hall, who was taken from our midst during our Junior year.

Each one was responsible for his part in the annual. Much of the expense of the production of an annual is paid for by the advertisements, so some of the boys have been busy contacting business men of Lodi and neighboring towns. Other seniors have written the different articles in the annual. The Activities and Sports Editor of the Annual Staff are responsible for the various organizations. Our Assistant Editor-in-chief, wrote the class history, class will, and plans for the future article. The Art Editor has designed our annual and made it attractive.

Class Prophecy The Class of 1949 met this week for a reunion. It was discovered that every member of the class has been remark- ably successful in his or her chosen career. In view of this fact Mr. Wood felt that the accomplishments of the class should be published as a goal and inspiration to students now in high school. Here are the heights to which the Class of 1949 has risen. Diane James and Geraldine Thomp- son have gone on the stage. Not long ago they appeared at the Palace The- atre. Diane assisted a trained seal in his act and Gerry acted as understudy to the chief curtain puller. Ralph Tanner was always very ac- tive in athletics in high school. He has made them his career and is doing quite well. Ralph is head ping-pong coach at a girls’ school in Cleveland. Evelyn Norton and Earleen Reusch are in the transportation business. While Evelyn drives the truck Earleen sleeps and vice versa. Bob Holmes is in Hollywood. “Clem” plays cowboy parts. He is known as “Creep-a-long Holmes,” the slowest hombre west of the Atlantic Ocean. But as ‘“Creep-a-long” puts it, ‘Where I'm goin’ I ain't in no hurry.” Jacklyn Duck has settled down to a quiet life as a wife and mother. At first she had hoped that her children could form a basketball team. Later it seemed more logical that they should play baseball. Now she is looking for a foot- ball coach. Bob Blackburn and John Havens are doing quite well in New York as mod- els. They have appeared recently as the twins in a “Which one has the Toni “ad: (Bob: had the Toni,) Betty McGarvey is coaching an all girl football team. She had earned quite a reputation for herself as a full- back but injuries forced her to retire. Her best player is Joyce Barth. This, however, is only temporary as Joyce has a trick knee and no one knows how long she will last. One of the foremost women authors in the country is Bette Young. Her widely read novel “Forever Bette” has just been banned in Boston. Bob Viergutz was recently elected mayor of Lafayette. He was known as the ‘babies’ choice.” He should be; he kissed enough of them. Donna Norton is now with Ringling Bros. Circus. As a sword swallower she has made a tremendous success in the freak show. Dorothy Hastings has obtained an excellent position in law enforcement. She is chief bouncer at John’s Place. Chuck “Wrong Way” Farnsworth has made a fortune posing for the Vaseline hair ads. He manages a mod- el agency as a sideline. Every month his models appear on the covers of such widely read magazines as “Breeder's Gazette’’ and “Live Stock Growers’ Journal.” Eva Indoe is just completing her first term as the first woman president of the United States. At last report the House of Representatives was in quite a dither. Her campaign platform advo- cated Prohibition, higher taxes, and men. If President Indoe does put through prohibition the unhappiest person in America will be June Kobb. June, who was voted the outstanding American business woman of 1958, manufactures the cork for champagne bottles. Dick Rice joined the Navy soon after graduating from Lodi High School and has made rapid gains. Last year he was promoted to Admiral and when last heard from he was commanding the Chippewa Lake fleet. Gerald Franks has entered the diplomatic services; as Ambassador to Upper Slopover he has gained a repu- tation for honesty, wise decisions, fear- lessness and crap shooting. You will remember that Phyllis Essel- burn was always late to school. Now Phyllis is chief detention hall slip writer for tardiness at Lodi High School. Recently Paul Gordon was given the position of head street cleaner in Bur- bank. It is rumored that he has pull in the mayor's office. Mary Ginter is working in a pencil factory. Her job requires the utmost in skill and dexterity. As each pencil comes off the assembly line she sharp- ens it. Betty Burr is dancing in nite clubs under the name of Jersy La Cow. Her theme song is ‘Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet.” Ralph McLaughlin has obtained a fine job in a bakery. He writes “Happy Birthday’ and other greetings on cakes. His artistry is evident even on cupcakes. Norma Garman, Shirley Reed and Bertha Ivie have made quite a stir in the musical world. Under their profes- sional name of “The O’ Hoolihan Sis- ters, Myrt, Gyrt and Sophie” they gave a command performance for the may- or of. Lodi: Bud Strouse and Edmund Ginter have formed a very successful and profitable real estate agency. They specialize in buying dog houses and reselling them at a profit. One of the industrial tycoons of the country is Charles Pickering. He manu- factures ‘“Pop-O—the World's Loudest Popping Bubble Gum.” Pat Arnold was always very fond of horses. Now she is a daring, coura- geous bareback rider in a rodeo. Bill Devoe has gained an interna- tional reputation as a nuclear physi- cist. Some of his discoveries have as- tounded the scientific world. He is now at work on a yoyo that will automa- tically rewind itself. At a wrestling match recently resi- dents of Lodi were startled to see Ed Debro enter the ring. ‘‘Muscles” as he is known, was in the best of health then. Unfortunately this wasn’t true at the end of the match. One of the members of the class of ‘49 has gone far in the musical world. Wilma Patterson has gained a fine reputation as first tuba player with Spike Jones. Ramon “Heartbreaker’’ Weaver has gone to Hollywood. His latest horror film “I Married a Woman” has just completed a long run (three Wed- nesday nights in a row) at the Idol Theatre in Lodi. These then are the stirring achieve- ments of the class of 1949. Let them be a goal and ideal to any industrious student and let that student remember that they can be achieved only through hard work, hard study and hard luck. Senior Class Will -- Class Of 1949 To whom it may concern: You see before you the last will and testament of the class of 1949. We, the Seniors of 1949, about to depart into a new life, and being of sound mind and knowing how likely it is we will finish this year, hereby will everything and anything we don't want, need, or ever had, to anyone who thinks he can make better use of it than we did. To the members of the faculty, we bequeath the following:— To Mr. Wood, we leave our new Government books and the squirrels who gave him so much competition. To Mrs. Ellis, we leave all the old exam papers that she worked so hard to type. To Miss Sechrist, we leave our home room and hope that next year’s Seniors won't give her so much trouble. To Miss Jones, we leave her quiet Study Hall and know that it will be more quiet. To Mrs. Schafer, we leave all the Commercial subjects, but we'll take with us what we learned for those office jobs. To Miss Sauder, we leave the library in the same condition we found it and also her Physical Education classes. To Mr. Egger, we leave the Shop and hope nobody loses any fingers next year either. To Mr. Quayle, we leave all the sports equipment and hope that next year's team will put it to good use and have something to show for it. To Miss Myers, we leave the Cafe- teria and hope that she keeps the stu- dents well-fed. To the Music teachers, we leave the Band and Orchestra to carry on. To Mr. Fuller, we leave our home room for all those beautiful pictures that the Art Class produces. To the Juniors, we leave all the priv- ileges we didn't want: the right to break all the rules we did; and our pocket edition of “How To Be Digni- fied.” To the Sophomores, we leave all our wisdom, knowledge, and experience we have gathered and know it will be put to good use. To the Freshmen, we leave three years of work, worry, and waiting. Our personal bequests: Ramon Weaver wills his uncanny ability to get along with sports officials to Larry House. And his “black flash” and “heart-breaking” ability to Russell in hopes that he'll get as much pleas- ure out of them as Ramon did. Diane James wills her ability to “get around’ detention hall slips to Gordon Warnes. We know he can use it. Betty McGarvey wills her old braces to Joan Kindig, as if she needed any- more. And all her offices which leave her so much spare time, to her sister, Donna, so that she'll be as busy in the years to come. Dick Rice wills his seat in the au- ditorium, at noon, to Dallas McDaniels. Ralph McLaughlin wills his enor- mous height to Howard Farnsworth. Evelyn Norton wills all her freckles to anyone who would like to have them. Pat Arnold wills her ability to get a drivers license before any other mem- ber of Driving Class to any prospective member. Jackie Duck wills her ability to “sneak” down to cafeteria before lunchtime to anyone who likes crack- ers and has a grandmother working there. Chuck Farnsworth wills his curly hair and ability to talk all the time to Milo Aukerman. We hope it doesn’t get you into as much trouble, Milo. Paul Gordon wills his bashfulness and ability to chew gum quietly in Physics to Harold McGrady, who we're sure could use it. Mary Ginter wills her dancing ability to anyone with that much “spunk.” Edmund Ginter wills his “way with the women” to Donnie Cash in hopes that he'll do better. Bob Viergutz wills his ability to drive his girl to and from school to Chet Remington. Chet already has a pretty good start. Jerry Frank wills his “one way” ability to Philip Norton, in hopes that he can find someone as nice as Donna. John Havens wills his ability to an- swer Mr. Woods questions in Govern- ment class when no one else can, to Bill Bittner. We know you'll get through if you just follow in John's footsteps. Dorothy Hastings wills her long hair to Pauline Straub who likes a bob. Betty Burr wills her blushing quality to anyone who gets embarrassed -as easily as she does. Bob Blackburn wills his good singing and dancing ability to any guy who wants to “woo” the girls. Bill DeVoe wills his ability to get out of school at such an early age (gradu- ate, that is) to anyone who wants it. Phyllis Esselburn wills her “brains” to anyone who likes the letter “A.” Joyce Barth wills her height to Ethel- maye Schaefer. Eddie Debro wills his athletic ability “especially tumbling” to his brother, Stanley in hopes that he can use it as well as Ed did. June Kobb wills her quietness to Patty Laidley and her ability to do the _“hoola” dance to anyone who thinks he or she could do it. Donna Norton wills her ability to get two wrist watches at the same time to Sally White who’s always asking the time. Eva Indoe wills her dark eyes to Barbara Brainard and her second year Spanish book to any prospective stu- dents. Ralph Tanner wills his “Buicks” to Junior Dague if Junior thinks he can get a good trade-in on his “blue flash.” Bud Strouse wills all his weight to Dean Remington who we're sure could use a little more. Charles Pickering wills his ability to make girls mad to Jackie Gossard who's a pretty big tease already. Wilma Patterson wills her ability to talk Mrs. Schafer out of such a long Shorthand lesson to anyone aniicipat- ing that particular subject for next year. Geraldine Thompson wills her ability to put you in your place with a mere flick of her little finger to Ryta Der- hammer who tries too hard. Earleen Reusch wills her bashfulness to Fay Parker. Shirley Reed wills her artistic ability to Marlene Kindig so that she can run around the halls next year when there’s no Art teacher. Bob Holmes wills his ability to get into trouble to anyone who can use it, and then get out of it as easily as Bob does. Norma Garman wills her position to watch the lovers go down to Com- munity Park to anyone who thinks he or she can prosper from it. Bertha Ivie wills her quietness to Kathy Smith. Bette Young wills her ability to argue with Mr. Skurvid to her sister, Barbara, in hopes that she can make good use. of it in the near future. The above stated is the will of the Class of 1949 witnessed and signed this lst day of May in the year 1949. ee THE . SENIOR CEASS SG rs Witnesses: The History Of Class Of 1949 In September of 1937 Miss Delong tried to quiet the noisy flock of first graders who were to be her charges for the rest of the year. She spent much time teaching them the three “R’s.’ Among those were Patricia Arnold, Bob Blackburn, Betty Burr, Jackie Duck, Phyllis Esselburn, Mary Ginter, Dorothy Hastings, Eva Indoe, Betty McGarvey, Evelyn Norton, Shir- ley Reed, Dick Rice, Edward Strouse, Ralph Tanner, and Ramon Weaver. Miss Whitney and Miss Dressler were our second and third grade teachers. Donna Norton and Bette Young joined our ranks in the third grade. Miss Clinker was our fourth grade teacher. After what seemed an eternity we were promoted to the fifth grade on the second floor. Here we were under the watchful eye of Miss Edwards. The only newcomer this year was Geraldine Thompson. Bertha Ivie, who had lived in Okla- homa, became one of us in the sixth grade where Miss Blust gave us our finishing touches before we entered Junior High. Mr. Williams entertained us in home room with his stories our first year in Junior High. Bill Devoe came to Lodi from Medina and Norma Gar- man from Congress. In the eighth grade several other members of the present senior class joined us. They were Edward Debro, Edmund Ginter, June Kobb, and Earleen Reusch. Miss Moore was our home room teacher. Our number increased by those from Lafayette, we must have been hard on our home room teachers for we had two, Mr. Spitler and Miss Hazlitt. Those who remain are Joyce Barth, Chuck Farnsworth, Paul Gor- don, Robert Viergutz, Charles Picker- ing, and John Havens also joined us. Ralph McLaughlin, Bob Holmes, Diane James, and Gerald Frank en- tered in our sophomore year; Miss Clinker had us in home room. We had two home room teachers again in our junior year, Mr. Hollingsworth and Mr. Egger. We presented the play ‘'Professor, How Could You?” on December 19. May 1 we entertained the senior class at Smithville Inn with a banquet and prom. Now at last we are Seniors and about to graduate. (We hope.) We presented a play in April and went on a senior trip. We know how you'll miss our bright and shining faces in the future years and we do feel sorry for you. Now we'll say “Adieu” from all of us to all of you.
