Keller Co. Buffalo, New York DEDICATION To you. Captain R. W. Hengesbach, with sincere appreciation and best wishes, we dedicate this Cauldron. You gave us thoughts to think about. You gave us work to do; You started newer tasks for us And helped us see them through. You listened to the tales of woe From Bitter to Remorse, And still found time for stiff reviews To help us through the course. The confidence you gave us Made us daring, sure and plucky; We miss you lots, believe us— That Marine Corps sure is lucky! EN 5 THEME —if you were a school bus, wouldn't you get tired of carting noisy kids twice a day, over the same roads, in all kinds of weather for years, and years, and years? —well finally, Bessie and Basil Bus decided to do something about the rut they were in. —you see, these little buses had ambitions—they weren't ordinary am- bitions for buses, like puffing to the highest mountain peak and back. In fact, they were definitely original: Bessie and Basil wanted to get educated! —So, they enrolled at M.M.H.S., with the Class of 1947— 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS FACULTY........................................... 8-9 SENIORS..........................................10-15 JUNIORS..........................................16-17 SOPHOMORES ......................................18-19 FRESHMEN.........................................20-21 CAULDRON STAFF......................................22 STUDENT COUNCIL.....................................2S SCHOLARSHIP CLUB ...................................24 SERVICE CLUB........................................25 SPANISH CLUB........................................26 NEWSPAPER STAFFS....................................27 GIRL'S CLUB.........................................28 BAND.............................................. 29 GIRL'S CHORUS.......................................30 BOY'S CHORUS........................................31 VARSITY CLUB........................................32 FOOTBALL ....................................... 33-35 BASKETBALL..........................................36 CHEERLEADERS .......................................37 JUNIOR PLAY.........................................38 SCHOOL CALENDAR ....................................39 SENIOR PERSONALITIES ...............................40 SENIOR PLAY.........................................41 CLASS HISTORY....................................42-43 CLASS HISTORY....................................44-45 PATRONS ............................................46 ADS, SNAPSHOTS...................................47-62 FACULTY Raymond Givens Ohio State Univ., B.S. in Ed.

We were represented in Student Council by Marilyn Atkin, Marilyn Shiring, Lee Cornell, George Csepegi, and Sam Miller, and several members won places on the Scholarship Club. We began planning early for the junior-Senior Prom by staging a wide campaign for maga- zine subscriptions,—and who won? Maxine's team, of course! Our first social event of the year was a semi-formal dance for students and alumni which was held at the Olde Tavern in Unionville during the holiday season. Movies at noon for the student body added to our treasury, and when basketball season rolled around, you found us selling pop, ice cream, and potato chips at the games. We made a good showing at the Interclass Basketball Tournament, and have begun plans for our junior Play in the spring. Several lettermen on the Football and Basketball teams hail from the junior homeroom, and two of them have won positions on the County All-Star Teams.

Patricia Hubbard and Richard Woodworth were chosen to represent us in Student Council, and several of us found seats in the Scholarship Club. The best dance of the year (naturally!) was our Snowball , held for students and Alumni on January 18. We were sorry to lose one of our advisors, Mr. Hengesbach, in January, when he left for the Marines. We did our best for Interclass Basketball, and we are well represented on the Football and Basketball squads this year. We have shown much interest in Band and Chorus, and three of our band members took part in the All-County Concert last March. In all we feel we have had a very successful year, and we are looking forward to next year, when we return as Juniors.

Carolyn Woodworth and Tom Miller represented us in Student Council, and six found places in the Scholarship Club. Thirty-five of us had a good time at the Hallowe'en party in Fuller's barn in October, and we had great plans for an ice-skating party at Rand's, but they melted with the thaw We are well represented on both the Football and Basketball squads, and one Varsity cheer- leader hails from our homeroom. We fought hard in the Interclass B B Tournaments, too. Our annual dance was well attended and enjoyed by everyone, and we had fun doing our part in Stunt Nite.

CAULDRON STAFF With our Chief Executive, Al Znidarsic, and his Assistant, joyce Pastor, the Cauldron Staff has tried to bring you an altogether different type of annual this year. The advertising department, headed by Jeanne DeRubertis was composed of Bill Pastor, Sid Harper, and Pudge Wickert. Judson Ellertson with Jim Harmon's help took care of the Business affairs. The Sports Section was in charge ofWalt Stickel, and Dorothy janezic and Jane Kubach arranged the photography. Harold Wood took care of the circulation department, and your Literary Staff was Evelyn Nash and Betty Hoffacker. Special artistic creations were supplied by Bill Pastor, and Alma Spear sorted out your snap- shots for the amusement pages. We hope we have supplied you with a glowing account of an eventful year at M.M.H.S. 22 BACK ROW: Mrs. Behm, Dick Woodworth, Marilyn Atkin, Fred Booth, Patty Hubbard, Lee Cornell, Carolyn Woodworth, Mr. Raveling. 2ND ROW: Walt Stickel, Jeanne DeRubertis, Henry Bobitch, Marilyn Shiring, Judson Ellertson. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council organized this year and elected the following officers: President, Henry Bobitch; Vice President, Walt Stickel; Secretary, Patricia Hubbard; and Treasurer, Jeanne DeRubertis. The new constitution, which was written by the American Government classes, was accepted by the Student Body and will go into effect next fall. On February 17, 1947, the Student Council went to Harvey High School where we met with other Student Councils of the County to discuss problems of Student government. Next year under our new Constitution the Student Council promises to be a more powerful group, guiding and aiding the Student Body. 23 BACK ROW: Henry Bobitch, Al Znidarsic, Don Wyman, Jim Hearn, Richard Keyse, Jack Mercer. 2ND ROW: Dorothy Anderson, Carol Hohlfelder, Evelyn Nash, June Melcher, Barbara Frink. 3RD ROW: Mrs. Hengesbach, Janet Nichols, Robert Luikart, Judson Ellertson, Robert Signet, Richard Woodworth, Tom Miller, Eugene Winters. 4TH ROW: Marilyn Atkin, Rosemary Seene, Betty Hoffacker, Jane Kubach, Mary Ann McGovern, Betty Strickler, Carolyn Woodworth, Rosanne Trescott, Patricia Kemerait. SCHOLARSHIP CLUB Much to the surprise of everyone concerned, and mostly to the members, the Scholarship Club got organized and working in the first semester. Running under the guiding hand of our able advisor, Mr. Hengesbach, much was accomplished, including noon sale of drinks, and setting up of a library. We were very well represented at the County Banquet at Kirtland in February. At the end of the semester we learned that our advisor was to return to the service, and he was replaced by his capable wife. Our Stunt Night efforts were well rewarded, March 7, when we were presented with the cup, after a hilarious evening. The officers elected were: President, Barbara Frink; Vice President, Bob Luikart; Secretary, Rosanne Trescott; Treasurer, Marilyn Atkin. 24 BACK ROW: Kenny McDonald, Richard Bender, Earl Seith, Robert Arko, Edmund Hearn, James Hearn, Walter Shekel.

SERVICE CLUB A new organization, the Service Club, was initiated in the high school this year. The purpose of this club is, as the name implies, to render service to the school. There are no definite requirements for joining, except the applicant be willing to cooperate and work for the betterment of the school. All classes are eligible and there is a group from each. Among the many duties of the service club members was the sale of tickets and refreshments at football games, parking cars, and the sale of basketball tickets The Service Club conducted a drive for the sale of both basketball and football season tickets Also, members are continually on the look-out for ways of improving various conditions. After hearing the pet gripes of students the club presents the problem to Student Council, and after their okay begins the remedy. The Service Club was advised by Mr. Hengesbach, and after his departure to the service Mr Raveling took over. We feel that the forming of a Service Club was definitely an improvement for M M.H S and hope many generations yet to come will maintain this cooperative organization. 25 BACK ROW: John Behling, Bernard Bobitch, Earl Seith, Halford Joiner, Lee Cornell, Henry Bobitch. 2ND ROW: Fay Hinderliter, Bernice Sperling, Janet Nichols, Rosemary Seene, Joyce Peckham, Evelyn Nash, Marilyn Atkin, Barbara Frink, Judson Ellertson. 3RD ROW: Jeanne DeRubertis, Carol Hohlfelder, Jane Kubach, Virginia Rosencrans, Marilyn Shiring, Joanne Givens, Patty Abplanalp. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club elected the following officers to lead them this year: Pres., Virginia Rosen- crans; Vice Pres., Evelyn Nash; Sec., jane Kubach; and Treas., Henry Bobitch. Pupils of the first and second year Spanish Classes are members. With Mrs. Ellertson as our advisor, we held meetings once a month. A distinguished guest at our November meeting was Senora Hammel of Puerto Rico, who taught us her method of dancing the rumba and the samba. At Christmas time we sang carols en espanol , and had an Epiphany cake and pinata of toys at our January meeting. For Pan-American Week we helped buy a Latin-American Overture for the band, and we presented an assembly. Adios, amigos! 26 HI-TIMES BACK ROW: Bill Reese, Tom Csepegi.

Business manager was Judson Ellertson, feature editor, June Melcher, and circulation, Rosemary Seene. Reporters and typists were from the student body, and Miss Jones and Mr. Subotnik were our able advisors. In the second semester, the Hi Times disbanded, and a new newspaper took its place, inde- pendent of the Girl's Club. The managing editor was Barbara Thompson, and the editor-in-chief was Rosemary Seene. The staff was composed of Sophomores and Juniors, and sponsored by Mrs. Hengesbach. We held a contest to choose a name for the paper, but as yet, none has been selected. We are planning to have every other issue printed, which we hope will add a great deal to M.M.H.S. 27 BACK ROW: Marica Beach, Margaret Stanonik, Bernice Sperling, Marilyn Atkin, Barbara Frink, Janet Johnson, Joyce Peckham, Joyce Pastor, Alice Kellogg, Doris Harmon, Patty Kostelic, Nancy Peterson, Mildred Shahan, Xafrie Dodge, Patricia Kemerait. 3RD ROW: Patricia Hubbard, Ruth Becker, Carol Jerome, Janet Nichols, Marilyn Wickert, Marian Miller, Charlotte Cooper, Joanna Fuller, Barbara Gibbon, Joan Toppari, Ann Gifford, Frances Brown, Joyce Bukky, Theresa Gruttadauria, Marie Claypool. 2ND ROW: Miss Jones, Carolyn Woodworth, Wandalec Winland, Edith Adams, Dorothy Anderson, Mary Ellen Paine, Barbara Allen, Betty Bugelski, Betty Jusko, Larena Taylor, Dorothy Janezic, Ruthella Paine, Betty Shaffer, Judy Lange, Leona Busch, Ruth Fobell, Mary Ann McGovern, Carol Fuller, Jane Kubach. 1ST ROW: Roseanne Trescott, Jacqueline Taylor, Betty Stricklcr, Dorothy Dewey, Carol Hohlfelder, Jeanne DeRubertis, Betty Hoffacker, Alma Spear, Evelyn Nash, June Mclchcr, Maxine Brockway, Marilyn Schiring, Jeanne Borchard, Patricia Abplanalp, Joanne Givens, Yvonne Herlin, Valeria Cutler. GIRL'S CLUB After three years as Les jeunes Filles ' the girls of Madison High School have dropped their title to apply for membership with the Y-Teens, of the district Y.W.C.A. We were greeted by a new advisor. Miss Jones, this year, and with her help we have accomplished much in our new organization. We initiated forty girls into our Club in December, nearly doubling the membership of the group. Our first step in the bright lights was a Pie Social in February, which was enjoyed by both students and Alumni. Every class and organization took part in our hilarious Stunt Night, and the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet in May was well attended and highly praised. The following cabinet led our club this year: President, June Melcher; V. President, Alma Spear; Secretary, Evelyn Nash; Treasurer, Maxine Brockway; Social Chairman, Marilyn Atkin; Ways and Means Chairman, Jane Kubach, and Program Chairman, Patricia Hubbard. 28 BACK ROW: Mr. Barr, Elwood Walker, Evelyn Nash.

BAND This year we found a new director on the podium. Alexander Barr is his name. Besides being an Ace band leader, we found him to be a Cracker-Jack trombone player. We started off with a bang by reorganizing our marching band, and we put on a snappy show be- tween halves at the football games. The proceeds from the Army-Navy game in No- vember added enough to our treasury to send for uniforms, which we will be wearing next fall. We also sponsored the Spring Carnival, which aided our financial status. As the Concert Season opened, All-County Band was organized, and Madison was represented by Virginia Rosencrans, Marilyn Atkin, Evelyn Nash, Robert Jopko, James Herendeen and Daniel Brown at the Concerts in March. 29 BACK ROW: Ruth Ryel, Carol Jerome, Bernice Sperling, Patricia Kemerait, Xafrie Dodge, Margaret Stanonik, Joyce Peckham, Joyce Pastor, Alice Kellogg, Barbara Frink, Marilyn Wickert, Patricia Hubbard, Janet Johnson, Marilyn Atkin, Doris Harmon. 2ND ROW: Mary Matthews, LaRena Taylor, Harriet Deming, Betty Bugelski, Janet Nichols, Marlea Beach, Barbara Allen, Shirley Rooks, Myrna Stanley, Ruth Becker, Marie Claypool, Virginia Beebe, Madge Justice, Ruth DeHaney, Dorothy Anderson, Lorraine Walker. 3RD ROW: Dorothy Dewey, Mary Ellen Paine, Virginia Reynolds, Carolyn Woodworth, Katherine Svrga, Wandalee Win- land, Patty Kostelic, Joanne Kroflic, Joyce Bukky, Gertrude McGovern, Betty Fields, Judy Lange, Jacqueline Taylor, Mary Wiles, Mr. Barr. 4TH ROW: Cynthia Casler, Janet Frink, Doris Hughes, Ruthella Paine, Nancy Peterson, Patty Abplanalp, Marilyn Shiring, Joanne Givens, Yvonne Herlin, Carol Fuller, Norma Hamilton, Marilyn Crum, Grace Kehres, Valeria Cutler, Marilyn Flynn, Leona Bush. GIRL'S CHORUS Although no officers were elected in our group this year, we were quite active in school affairs. Several of our singers were sent to the Select Chorus, to blend high voices with the boy's low notes. In March we were found busy working up our parts for the Spring Concert, where we joined the Boy's Glee Club and the Band in presenting a program which proved to be a credit to the High School. Nine of us made up a Girls' Ensemble which also performed at the concert, and several joined the All-County Mixed Chorus and Glee Club. 30 H1OTH$ BACK ROW: Fred Booth, Bill Pastor, Edmund Hearn, James Hearn, Edward Kemerait. 2ND ROW: Earl Seith, Robert Heckel, Richard Emmett, Robert Arko, James Herendeen, Bill Walker, Gerald Jones, Rolf Fobell. 3RD ROW: Robert Pastor, Donald Schmidt, Richard Bender, Richard Volante, Karl Jacobsen, Richard Jackson, Herbert McNutt, Alvin Krauss, Jack Mercer, Mr. Barr. 4TH ROW: George Gabel, Robert Trisket, Martin Kerin, Bill Reese, Robert Abplanalp, Jesse Dowler, Eugene Winters, Thomas Williams, Robert Hills, Harry Stanton, Sherlden Claypool, Judson Ellertson. BOY'S CHORUS Thirty-eight boys reported to the auditorium during the first weeks of school in compliance with a request for a chorus of male voices. It proved to be a little bottom heavy, having mostly bases. We have worked diligently from the beginning of the year to prepare a musical program, which proved to be highly entertaining. Many of us were chosen for the Select Chorus, where we blended voices with the fairer sex and presented an assembly at Christmastime for the student body. A few of us joined the Madison Men's Glee Club early in the year, and have added con- siderably to their group. 31 BACK ROW: Fred Ellis, Lee Cornell, Richard Titman, Al Znidarsic, Jack Lowrie, Richard Emmett, Bob Warner. 2ND ROW: Mr. Stueve, Stan Martin, Sam Miller, George Csepegi, Bob Signet, Dick Woodworth, Roland Titman, Mr. Tomlinson. 1ST ROW: Sid Harper, Tom Csepegi, Jim Harmon, Rich Dingle, Ted Bukky. VARSITY CLUB In our second year as an organization of Madison High the Varsity Club formed with a new advisor, and twenty members electing Tom Csepegi as our worthy President. Membership in this group must be earned by winning a large M in high school athletics. Although we were rather inactive during the first semester, our vigor renewed by the second semester in time to take part in the carnival, and we went on a spree to a baseball game later in the Spring. 32 VARSITY BACKFIELD FOOTBALL Tom Csepegi jim Harmon George Csepegi Bob Signet Capt.

FOOTBALL Madison opened the Football Season and played host to Wickliffe, but still needing practice, we lost our first game. We made up for our first defeat by beating Geneva and Kirtland in two exciting contests. The Blue Streaks traveled to Perry to play before a capacity crowd only to lose to our rivals by one point in the last of the final quarter. We played host to Fairport and held them to a tie, upholding our reputation in the League. The Blue Streaks had all the practice they needed because we won the remaining games and finally, after struggling for many years, we beat Perry in the last game of the Season. We tied Chardon for the Western Reserve Championship, earning the coveted title after several years' effort. 34 SEASON SCHEDULE 00 Madison 7.......................vs......................Wickliffe 14 9-1B-46 0 Madison 18.......................vs......................Geneva 6 9-20-46 •Madison 20.......................vs......................Kirtland 12 9-27-46 Madison 19.......................vs......................Perry 20 10-4-46 •Madison 7.......................vs......................Fairport 7 10-11-46 Madison 33.......................vs......................Jefferson 0 10-18-46 Madison 39.......................vs......................Edgewood 14 10-25-46 ••Madison 13.......................vs......................Chardon 0 10-30-46 ••Madison 29.......................vs......................Perry 13 11-8-46 •DENOTES LEAGUE GAMES ••DENOTES HOME GAMES 35 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Madison 16 29 12-3-46 0 Madison 30 48 12-13-46 0 0 Madison 32 22 12-17-46 •• Madison 33 22 12-20-46 •• Madison 35 29 1-7-47 °Madison 35 26 1-10-47 ••Madison 29 37 1-14-47 42 65 1 -24-47 Madison 43 22 1-31-47 ••Madison 35 51 2-4-47 31 29 2-7-47 00 Madison 52 20 2-14-47 25 33 2-18-47 •DENOTES LEAGUE GAMES 00 DENOTES HOME GAMES The Basketball Season opened none too well for the Blue Streaks, since we lost our first two games with Geneva and Kirtland in December. To make up for our losing start, we won the next four games, starting the New Year right. Our luck failed when we lost the next two games but returned long enough to beat Fairport. The remaining four games resulted in winning two from Chardon and Perry and losing two to Kirtland and Geneva. 36 BACK ROW: Ruth Fobell, Joanne Givens, Marilyn Wickert. FRONT ROW: Betty Hoffacker, Alice Hietanen, Maxine Brockway. CHEER LEADERS Cheering the boys to Victory were the three Varsity Cheerleaders of last year's squad, Betty Hoffacker, Alice Hietanen, and Maxine Brockway, with Mrs. Betty Behm as our advisor. An election was held and the student body chose Marilyn Wickert, joanne Givens, and Ruth Fobell to join our ranks. In the middle of the season, Maxine resigned, leaving five to carry on. Besides our activities at the games we also conducted numerous Pep Meetings which included an out-door Pep Rally before the Perry game which proved successful in cheering us on to Victory. The Cheerleaders were in charge of obtaining registrations of students to out-of-town games on school buses. We enjoyed a delightful get-together with all the Western Reserve Cheerleaders at Perry High School and presented a Backward Skit. It has been great fun working behind such a successful team! 37 JUNIOR PLAY The junior Class Play, One Delirious Night, was presented April 11 and 12 to a capacity audience. Mrs. Hengesbach was the director. The plot of the story evolves in the living room of the Arnold home, presided over by the dominant Mrs. Arnold, who is trying to arrange the marriage of her granddaughter to Colonel Delray's grandson, much against the wishes of either of them. Complications arise when Pat Arnold and Dick Delray start staging fits and hallucinations in order to confuse the old folks. The amusing situations that come up during the course of the Delirious Night make for a hilarious and entertaining evening. THE CAST Lilly Clark......................................

The plot centered around a certain young man named Bill jackson, who started things off by getting himself in a terrible jam. But could you blame him for not correcting a wrong impression when fifty thousand dollars were at stake? You see. Bill was a Doctor of Philosophy and a college professor, which meant he really could be called Doctor all right. But his fiance, Angela, had a wealthy, cranky uncle who liked medical doctors but was strongly prejudiced against professors. So when Angela brought Bill to meet Uncle Henry at the hospital and introduced him as Dr. Jackson, Uncle Henry thought he was a surgeon, and no one corrected him because he promised to give Angela and Bill $50,000 for the first life Bill saved. And that really started something, for the regular hospital doctor had to leave town suddenly, and Bill was called upon to help in several humorous emergencies. First, it was a chicken bone a patient swallowed. Bill extracted it with sugar tongs. One laughable situation followed another in quick order until the worst of all hap- pened—a patient suddenly developed appendicitis!! Bill, much against his will was rushed out to the operating room to don mask, rubber gloves, and uniform. There were the antics of the two hospital roomates, Dodson and Puckett, who kept things in a continuous uproar. Puckett, jolly and extremely mischievous, and Dodson, wealthy, crabby and overbearing, kept the hospital staff in hot water from start to finish; and there were jack, the witty orderly, funny Dovie Finkledink, pretty young nurses, personable Bill, and attractive Angela combined to make a riotous evening. Since our play was chosen so late, we regret that we were unable to publish the cast in our 41 Cauldron. CLASS HISTORY On the eighth day of September, nineteen hundred and forty-three, fifty-four very fright- ened Freshmen jumped from the school buses and began wandering around the halls. Yes, that was the first time our class wandered the halls, but not the last time, as any teacher at Madison Memorial High School can testify. Being a large class, we were seated in rooms two and three, the study hall, with Miss Jean Phillips and Mr. Wallace Firestone as our brave advisors. It wasn't long before our class learned the ropes, and it wasn't as long until a beaten bath was worn to Mr. Trescott's office; and even though every visit was purely social, our reputation was soon established. Mrs. Trescott in our Freshman English taught us many things, one of which was that ain't ain't right. In General Science we learned from Mr. Tarr that H20 is water, and that it took hours to count the number of beebees in a quart jar, if we couldn't behave ourselves in class. We recall in Latin, Mrs. Tarr, that amo is I Love. We did remember something, didn't we? Do you remember Mr. Robinson, our Alge- bra and General Math teacher? We saw a lot of him, since he was also assistant principal. Mr. Yant instructed our little agriculturalists in the arts of acreage and profits. With all these teachers behind us our first year, we held a very successful skating party and dance, and accomplished a great deal. The high point of our Sophomore year was the Interclass Basketball Tournaments, when both the boy's and girl's teams won the plaques. Mr. Sahli was the coach of the girl's team, Sahli's Dollies, and Mr. Warner led the boy's team, Warners' Mourners. When tracks were made to the office this year, it was Mr. Sahli that greeted us, and the Sophomores' names constituted the majority on the Visitor's Record Book. Our advisor was a newcomer to the staff, Mr. Raveling, who was the Science teacher and Sports Coach. The football and basketball teams displayed our boy's ability on the first teams as early as the Sophomore year. Our main social event was a Lucky Dance, held Friday, April 13, which was very well attended. As the bell rang in June, 1945 we tore toward the front door and to the buses, realiz- ing that half our high school days were over. 42 CLASS HISTORY (Continued) Mrs. Trescott didn't know what she was get- ting into when she found herself our advisor as Juniors. She also directed our junior Play, The Campbells are Coming. We're proud of the play, and we're proud to have had her as our director. Our big social event this year was the Prom we held at the Ashtabula Hotel on May 17, with the Seniors as our guests. We showed some undiscovered dancing talents in our class at this occasion. Finally, after tense games, Sahli's Dollies won the Interclass B B. Plaque again, uphold- ing our athletic tradition. As we barreled out of our classrooms at the end of the Junior year, everyone had a sober seriousness about him, due to the fact that some of the boys were with Uncle Sam, and more joining him soon. Mrs. Trescott was doomed! Again she was our class advisor. This year we were never bad, but if we had been, Mr. Givens would have headed the welcoming party in the office. The first dance of the year was the Senior Kick Off, held at North Madison. The Main feature of the evening was the coronation of the Football Queen, Jane Kubach. Her attend- ants were Betty Hoffacker and Alma Spear. On Jan. 30 the Seniors all turned out to a party given for Mr. Hengesbach. We had known him only half a year, but in that short time he became a real friend to all of us. It was one of those times that a surprise party was really a surprise, and everyone had fun playing charades and dancing. This will go on record as one of the few times the whole Senior Class danced! The Senior girls showed their usual spirit and style in the Interclass Tournaments in their outfits of green and white. The Senior boys showed their fighting spirit, too. Sports have always been a top attraction with the class of '47. Our final fling at dramatics came in May, when our class play was presented to a capacity audience two nights. Mrs. Trescott was again our director, and the good times at rehearsals will never be forgotten. It was an impressive ceremony in June as the thirty-eight Seniors marched to the stage in blue and white to receive their diplomas. This day marked the end of an era: the begin- ning of a new and bigger one. Janet Frink Olive Cox 43 CLASS PROPHECY Excerpts from the diary of June Melcher, June, 1997. DEAR DIARY: SUNDAY: It was exactly 50 years ago that we graduated, in the class of '47, and here we are wasting away in the home for the Aged. My roommate, Carol Hohlfelder, and I attended church services together today. Instead of viewing it on our television set Gene Hubbard, a retired taxi driver, drove us into Cleveland where Gerald A. Jones is Pastor of the First Baptist Church. As we entered lovely music wafted in the air when Jane Kubach, organist and choir director, played the prelude. The choir robes were designed by Olive Cox, prominent clothes stylist. On the way home Gene requested that we listen to his favorite program, an hour of melodies by Barbara Jean Hamilton. Harold Wood, announcer, gave a quick flash that Bill Balch, Steel Magnate, was launching four jet-propelled rockets, destination—Jupiter. My, how times have changed! MONDAY: Carol interrupted my knitting today with a few letters from former classmates. Rich Dingle is conducting a large campaign to get subscriptions to his Hunting and Fishing magazine. The former Dorothy Janezic sent us an invitation to her ranch for a visit. She's been living in splendor since she married that rich oil man. We also got a catalogue showing midsummer Fashions for Tiny Tots , from the Hoffacker Kiddies' Shoppes, Inc. Betty has a branch store in all the main cities of the world, and was chosen Best Dressed Woman of '96. Bob Arko, in California, has stepped out of his age bracket and married a young starlet of 19! And he a retired Boyer the Second! TUESDAY: Read in the paper that a statue will be unveiled Friday in commemoration of Henry Bobitch, aeronautical engineer, who will go down in history as a credit to the world. And to think he was an acquaintance of ours! Another big article told of Jim Harmon leading an exploration party on Pluto, acclaiming him the greatest frontiersman of all time. The story was edited by Barbara Thompson, world-wide journalist. WEDNESDAY: Jeanne DeRubertis stopped in to see us a tew minutes today She has been lecturing on Millinery Arts at the College She thought it was wonderful of Al Znidarsic to endow his wife's millions to the erection of Madison College. It was a great improvement to the city, and with the ex- cellent equipment of the school coach Ted Bukky guarantees a victory over Ohio State in the 44 CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) game next week. Tom Csepegi's sport column will announce the line-up Saturday. Now that Tom is retired from his coaching duties at U.C.L.A., he edits the column as a hobby. THURSDAY: The Matron announced today that the Home will be remodeled. Pudge Wickert and Sid Harper have drafted plans for it, including a revolving sun porch. The carpenter work will be supervised by Bill Pastor, who is outstanding for his work in plastic buildings, and the landscaping will be done by Charles Balfourd. He is importing some new shrubs from Mars. Madge justice, reporter on the Madison Sun, who is basing her next editorial on the Home, told us that Walt Stickel has had a heart attack and is being nursed back to health by La Rena Taylor, at her Rest Home in Arizona. Walt's 12th great-grandchild was born last week. FRIDAY: Our old pal, Virignia, who was in town for the unveiling of Henry's statue, visited us today. Ginny brought us a great deal of news from the outer world. Judson Ellertson, renowned veter- inarian, has been examining a planeload of cattle raised by Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Miller in Alaska. Some of the finest stock on the continent has been produced on the Miller Ranch. Ginny and Janet Frink Cumberland have been traveling together as television news reporters, and recently visited the school where Evelyn Nash used to be first grade teacher. She has put all her money into a project of writing a new Encyclopedia Americana, and is assisted by a former lawyer, Joyce Pastor, member of the Supreme Courts. Stan and Alma (Spear) Martin have just returned from a pleasure cruise to some of the major planets. They have been visiting here recently with their daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Rice Harper, III. SATURDAY: The society page of today's Sun told of the return of the former Betty Bugelski from Europe. She and her husband arrived aboard the Queen Elizabeth II last week from Hungary, where they have spent the past few months with some of her relatives. Heard over the radio that Frances Neubert and Lucy Hummel are selling their Public Ste- nography business. They are planning to travel with a former classmate, and we imagine that it is Madeleine Beach, who has been taking it easy on the income from her book, The History of Madison Hi. I hope they will visit us on their trip so we can have a good bridge game together and talk over the happenings of Jong ago, when we were in the class of 1947.
