 In 1948 We started at a slow pace. In 1952 We ended in a jet race. With Miss Anderson yelling gitty up', to our horse and wagon, we started into what seemed to be four long years of travel. In the first wagon was Ramon Lamb assisted by Delbert Felkey. Mary Laiman took care of our funds and letters to our folks. Others riding along were, Ella Jean Burroughs, Wayne Baldwin, Lowell Eicher, Helen Gilbert, Mary Lou Gillespie, Harlen Green, Janis Gunn, Dale Hallett, Judy Kennedy, Al Peeble , Charles Peebles, Max Seigneur, Earl Woerner, Joan Markley, Barbara Delano, Irene Snead, Wayne Holland, and Kenneth Green. We had a slow but nice trip. By the time we got around for our next trip President Mary Lou Gillespie made a motion we spend some of our money for a car, seconded by vice-president, Max Seigneur. Al Peebles ordered the car and wrote the check when it arrived. Delbert Felkey, our student council member, notified us that Joan Markley, Barbara Delano, Irene Snead and Wayne Baldwin were afraid of the new fangled cars and wouldn't be taking the trip this year. Miss Anderson was our driver, she changed her name to Mrs. Loclcert in the middle of the year. We went full speed ahead (20 miles per hour) for a successful trip. On our third year of travel we decided to board a still later invention the airplane. We elected Miss Schroeder to be our overseer, Dale Hal- lett was chosen by a unanamous decision to be our pilot with Delbert Felkey as co-pilot. Max Seigneur made an excellant navigator and Ramon Lamb was chosen to handle the finances. Our councilors for the trip were Judy Kennedy and Charles Peebles. Sybil Turlington joined our little expedition but dropped out around the three quarter mark. Ken- neth Green also decided to start out on his own. We decided a rocket ship would do very nicely for our fourth and final trip. The trip proved later to be much too fast. Mr. Johnston spon- sored the trip and Judy Kennedy was chosen to handle the controls of this speed wagon since it was a very difficult job. Dale Hallett was elect- ed to be her assistant. Mary Laiman kept track of our mail and minutes. Janis Gunn handled our finances and our councilors were Charles Peebles and Max Seigneur. Our final expedition ended much too soon but a very wonderful time was had by all. The Seniors of 52 leave this last word of advice, you'll never know what you ve missed if you don’t complete these last four expeditions of your school career.

'LPzofidsctj of 1952 Deciding to spend a few weeks in Florida we went out to the Trading Post to catch a bus to Toledo. We purchased our tickets and were surprised to see Helen Gil- bert as the waitress. Our bus came at 10:45, and the driver was none other than Dick Hinkle. At the next stop Mary Lou Gillespie, now Mrs. Harlen Green, got on with her five children. We learned they were living on a chicken farm near Swanton. From the bus station we took a taxi to the airport. Delbert Felkey was the driver. He told us he was married to Mary Laiman and they were living in a small apartment above Wayne Holland's Pawn Shop. The plane we took to Rorida was piloted by Dale Hallett. His stew- ardess was Ella Jean Burroughs. When we arrived in Miami we checked in at Lowell Eicher's Vacation Resort. The bellboy that took our bags was none other than Al Peebles. After lunch we went for a stroll and came across Beverly Sheeley and Earl Woerner sunning themselves on the beach. They told us they were on their honeymoon. From the beach we went to the race track. We decided to watch the races and were surprised to find that Ramon Lamb had two horses running in the race. He told us the jockeys riding them were Janis Gunn and Judy Kennedy. On the way back we met a beggar who asked us for a dime for a cup of coffee. We thought he looked familiar and when we took a sec- ond look we learned it was Charles Peebles. He told us that he and Max Seigneur had been in business together and Max had disappeared with all of the money. After we had seen and talked with all of the people from the class of 52, we thought it best to go back to the resort and get a good nights rest for the journey home which was going to be tomorrow.
