Z is for zero, we've all had a few, It won't get you down, just smile and say foo. Barbara Laack. 7 Longfellow 4 2 1 P Eclaoef

Mrs. Fruchey's Class Prophecy 1958 - 1948 One bright sunny morning Larry Larson and Mearl Huffman, the two best lawyers in New York, found a note in their mail box asking them to come to Toledo to attend Mrs. Frucheyls tour. On the streamlined train designed by Billy McDonald they met Ann Gilbert of the Gilbert Razor Blade Co. Her secretary, Francis Witt, after recovering from bumping into the porter, found him to be none other than Allan Stanbury. When they arrived in Toledo, they stopped at the Betty Harmon Hotel where Marian Widner was the hostess, jack Lee, the bell boy, and Robert 'LaDue, the desk clerk. After dinner they went to the Spencer Blue Room that had the best of every- thing in Toledo. Virginia Leger and her Swinging Sweethearts were entertaining in the evening. Bonnie Griswald was the blues singer. On Sunday they went to the first Scottish Church whose minister was Rev. William Herzog. The following day they found the Betty Wing Circus was in town and decided to see it. The main attraction was, Guess What, the smallest woman in the world and to add to their delight it was Aileen Stevenson. The ring master was john DuMond and the bareback rider was Juanita Wilcox. Then they went into several sideshows and saw some old friends, LaVerne Bennett was the neatest housemaid in Ohio and Alice Bissonette, the quickest thinker in the world. As they left the circus they saw Robert Beaty selling junior Reviews, Their taxi driver was George Warner. The next day the papers were filled with pictures of Russell Carpenter of the Car- penters' Union. They investigated this story of Russell's and found his office at 111 Main Street. As soon as they got there his secretary, Barbara Stiegelmeyer, admitted them. Dorothy Maier and Ruth Moore, who had become reporters, were covering the story. Alice Whitehead, Marian Warner, Marjorie Schelling, and Ruth Ann Scheib were detectives and proved the story false. i Marian Widner, Milo Spencer, Ann Marie Gilbert, Larry Larson. .

Peggy Gallagher Rhoda May Schnetzer drew a large poster to supplement the play, which hung in the hall during the Community Chest Drive. Every month Mrs. Ellis's class has a calendar and picture on the black board. The class chose Barbara Laibe as leader for the year. She chooses three girls each month to help her. These pictures and calendars are done in gay colors and are very attractive. Thanks For years -the Mothers' Club and P. T. A. have cared for our needs in donating things that make school a pleasure. Some of the gifts have been a slide machine, mov- ing picture machine, and drapes. This year they again came through by giving us the Bne microphone that has been so vital in our programs and performances in the audi- torium. The Echo Staff wishes to thank the P. T. A. and Mothers' Club for all they've done. Elton Gallon. Longfellow 4 22 P Echoes
