CLASS PROPHECY Every year I take a vacation at some very elegant lake. T his ye a r , May ZZ, 1967, I decided to go to Lake Markleville. Just as I wa s signing my name, Frank Robertson, to the hotel register, a young woman and her husband walked in the door. I turned to see who it was and found it to be Rita Osenbaugh, her husband, Bob Brown, and the i r four children. Rita was now a world-famous roller skater and al s o has her own show on television. Coming in right behind R i ta wa s Connie Clark and Jerry Leonard. fNow Mr. 8: Mrs . Jerry Leonardl Connie own s a stable of world- famous race horses and Jerry is a sports car dealer in Indianapolis. After signing the register, I took a stroll around and came across Linda Shaffer. She told me she is now a first grade teacher in Michi- gan. She is e nga ge d to a second grade teacher in Michigan and they are planning to be married as soon as the school board gives them a raise. Standing with her was Connie Reger who is a Business Education Professor at Ball State Teacher' s College in Muncie. She is also engaged, but to the President of Ball State. T he y both seem to be very happy with the i r professions. Looking around I saw two children dressed as Eskimos. They we re the children of Lou Land and Da rl Foster, now a five- star general and still stationed in Alaska. As I looked out on the lake, I saw a boat coming ashore. In this boat was Catherine Pederson who has been a Wave for several years. With her was Sally Wallace and her husband,who owns the large super market in Markleville, They now have four chil- dren. As I wa s eating lunch I saw Bob Julian. Bob had finished engineering school and was wo rking in the engineering de- partment at Delco-Remy. He told me that Janet S pall had married Clifton Seal and they had a little girl. Janet was president of the Markleville P.T.A. She was supposed to have be en at the lake but she fell and broke her leg and couldn' t make it. He also said that he had seen Raymond Brick- er here, Raymond wa s the owner of a large trucking concern and was married, He, his wife, and their 12. children were now residing in Chicago. As I was leaving the cafe, I ran into Ja c k Cooper who was working at an Atomic Energy Plant in Tennessee. All at once I heard a loud FLOWER White Chrysanthemum noise and I was not too surprised when I discovered it was Larry Linville. Larry had been building ra dio s for a living and now he had one that would not shut off. He was married and had two little boys. Talking with him was David McCarty and Bob Strough. David was working at Guide Lamp and was still working on his appren- ticeship. He was also planning to be mar- ried as soon as he graduated. Bob Strough was working at a ga rage in Markleville ove rhauling c a r s and making millions of dollars. As I was talking to these two, a young lady in a white uniform came up and spoke to me. This turned out to be Martha Denson who was now a registered nurse at the Methodist Hospital in Indian- apolis. Some distance away stood a num- ber of tall boys with that very well-known coach, Jim Daffron. Jim wa s head coach at Markleville and had ju st completed an unbeaten season. I turne d to leave and ran into Alice Begley. She said she was living in Indianapolis and teaching twirl- ing to young children. She informed me that Tyrone Keesling was around. He was in the Navy and planning to marry a Jap- ane se girl. I then met Larry Morgan, who was the owner of a newspaper business in New York, and Harold Phillips, who owns a chain of Paramount Theaters throughout the world. They were trying to see who had the most money. Betty Shaw was also the re. I stopped her to talk and found that she had just retired from working as head of the personnel de pa rtment at Block's Department Store in Indianapolis. She is now living in her 30-room mansion. She said that keeping her 400 servants working was a mighty chore. Just as I started to go to my room, I saw Carol Surface, who is now Mrs. Butch Castor,and their family. Carol is now the e dito r of the Anderson Times. Bradley Seal and his wife arrived shortly after that. Bradleywas now a bar- ber for the President of the United States and his cabinet members. He saidthe only thing he didn't like about his job was having to live in Washington, D. C. Taking account of my days experiences, I r e aliz e d that everyone in the graduating class of '57 was spending their vacation at Lake Mar- kleville and I was very ha ppy to see that each one had made such a success of life.

CLASS HISTORY The day is September 8, 1945. The place is Markleville Grade School. As the b ell rings, five frightened but ex- pectant children find their seats. Mrs. Beckner finds their names to be Janet Spall, Sally Wallace, Lou Land, Jack Cooper, and Tyrone Keesling. At the same time, not far away at Fall Creek Heights, Connie Clark, Linda Shaffer, and Raymond Bricker greet their teach- er, Mrs. Shaw. As the first year goes by, Jack Cooper leaves us but is suc- ceeded by Bob Strough from Anderson. When the second year begins, Jack Cooper returns and Catherine Peder- son joins the class at Fall Creek. In the third year, Larry Linville comes from Anderson. Fall Creek welcomes Bob Julian and Bradley Seal in the fourth grade while at the same time Connie Reger and Jim Daffron appear in the halls of Markleville . While Markleville l o s e s Tyrone Keesling in the fifth grade, Harold Phillips is en- rolling at Fall Creek. The small class of sixth g r ade r s at Markleville bade goodbye to Sally Wallace and re-wel- comecl Jim Daffron as well as two new members, Carol Su r f a c e , and Linda Shaffer. Martha Denson simultaneous- ly became a member of the Fall Creek group. The s eve nth graders at Fall C r e e k happily receive a new-comer, Rita Osenbaugh from Washington School while at Markleville, Tyrone Keesling r e tu r n s . In the eighth grade Tyrone Ke e sling departs from us again but Sally Wallace re-joins the class from Anderson. As our two groups become one, we excite dly look ahead to our forth-coming high s c hool years. We find as we are all getting acquainted with one anothe r that there are also three outsiders-Alice Begley, Jerry Leonard, and David McCarty. Glen Mc- Clure sponsored us in our freshmen year. In our Sophomore year we proudly displayed our class rings and sweaters. The sweaters were powder blue with whit e letters t r im m e d in r oyal blue. Arthur J. Razor was our sponsor. At the beginning of our Jun- ior y e a r , Tyrone Keesling once again r etu r ns, this time from Florida, and also we welcome Larry Morgan for the du r a t i o n of the journey. Under the sponsorship of Miss Wanda Hand we p r e s e nt e d our class play Look Out Lizzie which met with huge success. We entertained the seniors at the Edge - wood Country Club at the prom. With the guidance of Mr. Robertson in our final year, we e nj o y e d innumerable, joyous experiences composed of basket- ball, baseball, track, parties, studies, and other various activities. Of course, there was our senior play, Moonligh.t and Applesauce whic h was given on the night of Octobe r 19. To climax these four wonderful years, we planned and carried out senior week which was a whirl of parties, activities, and fun for all. During this time, we did settle down long enough to enjoy ourselves a.t the prom whichwas given by the juniors in our honor. Our Baccalaureate was held on May 19, and then at last, we proceeded down the aisle on that long awaited night, the night of Commence- ment. This was a time of mixed emo- tions. Some felt greatly the loss of the past while others felt the challenge of the future. We embarked on our senior trip on Saturday, May 25, to enjoy our last time of being together at such places as Washington, D. C., New York, Niagara Falls, and Canada. On our re- turn, nine days later, we found the time had come for us to take our place inthe world as young Americans. So has fled our twelve years.
