Cyan cz'-fiarfofnf First year, first day, first teacher, first books---the list could go on indefinitely, but really it all adds up to just one thing--kindergarten! And what a scared little bunch of big shots we were! There were Mary McGurk, Lois Fiser, Jim Smith, Bill Ellis, Frank Hohensee,Marion Fuller, and Carroll Gunderson. Under Miss W. Collin's leadership we soon became experts at tying our shoestrings. In first grade this lively little bunch was joined by Bob Gunzenhauser, who seemed to satisfy our need for mischief, for it wasn't till fifth grade we added Joyce Gleason to our ranks. It was an extremely proud class that entered junior high.Now we had our own lockers and several different teachers. Added to our class in that year were Irene Schindler and Franklin Norton. In seventh grade we gained Norene Gould,Almeda Kahler and Charles Ogden. During our eighth year the boys began to wash behind their ears and the girls started curling their hair and using lipstick. Betty Bell then joined our ranks. Wheels, that's what we were! Big wheels as we strolled into the halls as freshmen. But even big wheels get shaky now and then and we did too. Mary Lou Aiken, Marian Bral, Shirley Danskin, Jim Dye, Dwight Felling, Kenneth Hagen,Jean Hartman, Jim Lillie,Kath- leen Martin, Donna Mitchell, Keith Ollinger, Richard Peters,Betty Fretz, Betty Roberts, Duane Schwarting, Garold Sheda, Charlotte Timm and Melvin Ward joined the trembling party. After we braved initiation and began taking part in the activities, we really be- came part of high school.Every club and sport soon had enthusias- tic members from our class. The sophomore year passed with nothing of particular impor- tance happening. We now had members in small groups, regulars on the teams and drama participants and soloists. The junior year came in with a bang. Oh, what excitement there was when we chose our class rings. Then came the junior play, WArsenic and Old Lace.W For the first time the play was given two nights and our class emerged the richest in years. The banquet was a genuine delight.WMoonlight and Rosesnwas the themeg our newly attained member, Joanne Kurtz,found herself deep in the middle of drawing the silhouettes used as the wall decorations. Darlene Brown and Lois Davis were helpful new additions on the basketball court. Marlene Murphy was also a welcome addition in the junior year. One lone addition came in our senior year. This was Joanne Chittenden, who came to make the last chapter of our WClass His- tory' complete.

The spotlight shifts to Llo d TrImpe,MetvIn Ward,Marlene Murphy, and Irene Schindler who blend their vcfices toadtertdlsle Dr. Jfm s Hilarious Hlccup Cure. Then up to the stage steps Mary Lou Aiken who has just come from deepest Afric a where she has been searching for pedigreed fleas for her dog.Something seems to have happened to the spotlight. OH!! I see Dwight Fellin is operating the spotlights and itseems he and Miss Aiken were school- day rivals. Next to cross the stage is Carroll Gunderson who is now selling stomach-pumps in front of NFill 'em ipu Fullerfs Cafe. Now we see Duane Schwartins and Richard Peters who are In the financial busi- ness together lsweeping Wall StreetS. Then up to the microphone steps Charlotte Timm to tell of her rumba school. As she lightly shimmies off the stage we see the boy voted most likely to succeed, Bill Ellis who is now ass't. dog catcher in Koszta. Rushing up to the camera next is Shirle' Danskin, who is running a zoo outside of Marengo. She col- lected her most precious species on a recent trip to Williamsburg. For a moment the line of stars is broken by the absence of Jim Lillie who is still holding up the Tower of Pisa. -H Something seems to be wrong with the screeng it has become hazy. Oh, I see, a news flash is coming through. Let's listen! Jim Smith is wanted in twenty states for breach of promise. Seems SmittyTs motto is still nLove 'em and leave 'em.n Bett Pretz and Kathleen Martin are partners in a nursery school in Carnsforth. They are doing auchangingn business. Garold Sheda has stepped up to the mike, slowlyg seems he has been rowing a sIow boat from China. There seems to be some sort of disturbance in the audience and up on the stage runs Kenneth Haven who is the No. I girdle salesman at the Wwe Squeeze 'emu dry goods store in Conroy.N Now for our entertainment before the show continues we are proud to present Norene Gould, woman wrestler, who will instruct some will- ing person In the audience in the lines of Uju jitsun holds. Before we begin, NIS there a mortician in the house?H Walking up the aisle is a familiar figure. It is Mackgr OfGunzenhauser,the friendly under- taker. Following him is a vt'l1ifiteler for The Westling exhibition, Almeda Kahler. It's a terrific battle but the M. C. Mr. Ogden wins and the show continues. nWe are ever so sorry,n states the M. C., nbut Joanne Kurtz, the class artist, is unable to attend.n Seems they have her as a guest in Mt. Pleasant. They always told us about crazy artists, but hmmmmmmml Here comes the man who is now a model, Franklin Norton: he was voted Mr. Percy Peanut of 1972. Frank Hohensee is in the radio busi- ness now. He's the man that says B. OT' In the Lifebuoy ads. Next we see Bettg Roberts, Iowa's champion HTiddly Winks playern pushing Hermit, Lo s iser, into the spotlight. Seems she is hiding from Iowa County authorities who are trying td make her pay back rent on her lot at the ll-H barns. Riding in on brooms and with black capes are Marian Bral, Bett .B......6l1. Danna Miqlahsll. and .lean Hartman- They are Hppeaffns in 1256 amateur production of NMacbeth.n Lois Davis and Darlene Brown have gone far in their field of basketball playing.They are the only female members of the Harlem Globe Trotters. Keith Ollinver, too, has gained distinction. He has chosen the profession of mating skunks harmless for Joanne Chittenden's animal park.
