Class!-Itstofuj q j captured the hearts of all the Senior boys. The little town of West Mansfield, sent us the little girl, Leota Baldwin. lt seems she is always getting her books mixed up because she has so many other names on them. John Jones, from Milford is showing the boys how to attract the older girls. As we timidly enter the freshman year, we see a group coming from St. John's. There is Karen Rausch, Sharon Barnhart, Sara Strunkenburg, and Mary Alice Vollrath, riding on a cow. lt is led by Don Hauser, leading the cow with one hand and dribbling a basketball in the other. Hanging on the cows tail is none other than Kate Starr. Follow- ing this illustrious group is john Doellinger lecturing to Dorence Rausch, that Marysville is not such a big bad city after all. At the far end of Sixth Street, we see a cloud of dust and hear a roar of tractor engines, as Watkins and Dover are having a drag race to see who could reach the sacred halls of M.H. S. first. We regret to say the favored team, Dover, lost because Gene QEinsteinj Spurgeon miscalculated the excess weight of Larry Reed. The mechanics on this team were Dick Fuller, Jack Blessing, and the driver, Sandra Sabins. But look! jerry Yoder is on the front of the tractor twirling his baton. Our winning team, Watkins, was boosted by the hot air from the debate between Bill Mitchell and Don Bouic, over the farm prices, while Sandra Hites and Harold Wolford are hanging on for dear life. Many of the band members were pleased when jackie Diehl came from North Lewisburg, to show us how she looked in a majorette uniforrri. Magnetic sent us Jan Clevenger who came to us to tutor some of the students on their English, and barefoot Marianna Weidman who just came along for the ride. When the year was just about over Barbara Goings decided she could have more fun here then at North Lewisburg, because we do have more boys. Our sophomore year was much the same as the freshman, since we had the same home rooms and the same lockers Ours, was the last freshman class to be in the high school building. But even with the same old things, we still got some new students. Carrot top Bill Lucas, from Northwestern. Don't tell me he hitch-hiked? There is timid Carolyn Miller, who only knows some of the kids she went to North Lewisburg with before she and they came here. From the eastern states, is ducky Toni Welsch, of Manhassett, New York, who shows us her abilities as a dele- gate. Shall we elect her as State representative? Betty Ann Hardesty, of Dover, Delaware, came to aid the distressed Latin students. Our last and final year was rounded out with Connie Frye, of Delaware Willis, and Fran Chuppa from Miami, Florida. From Columbus West came Bill Fraker. Look who is tagging back to Marysville, Bill Waugh, who just visited Northwestern, came to see how we were getting along without him. lt's nice to say that the three new students came all the way here just to graduate from M. H. S. And now as we write the last invitation to our Reunion, we wonder if the last ten years were as wonderful and full of fun as those twelve when we worked hard and played even harder, but really had fun doing both.

Glass I-lastofuj HISTORY 196 O As we write the invitations to the Reunion for the class of 1960, our minds think back in a cloudy mist to the year 1948, and 1949 when this noble class started its long journey to the height of its intelligence. As we look in on the West Building, we see Bill Kirby trying to sell 3. 2 for 6010 to Jim Easton and Jerry DeGood. But Jim and Jerry are not interested, because they are trying to figure out what country little Lynn Rausch came from. ln the back of the room, we find Bob Qlflashj Gordon interrupting a Chinese checker game among Jerry Simpson, Mike Morelock, and Jim Dailey. Meanwhile, Janet Zell is organizing a group consisting of Berry Smith, Donna Shirk, Hazel Freeman, and Barbara Clifford, to give a cheer of Good Morning Dear Teacher . Much to our astonishment, there is Paul Dittmar mixing a formula to kill book worms in preparation for his job at the library. Why that ITIUSE be Sally Clarridge playing football with the second grade boys! Sitting at the teachers desk is Peggy Huffman giving a lecture to Shirley Bigelow, Janet Beightler, and Sabra Dolan, on how to hook a man. But little Joan Rohr is standing all alone trying to figure her Presidential Campaign Platform. As the scene shifts to the East Building, we see Ann Yarrington, Sally Dasher, and Avis Arnold chasing cute little Jimmy Walker, who is having a hard time keeping ahead. We wonder if he really wants to! At this time David Griffith is teaching some reducing exercise to Judy Lockwood. Do you suppose they'll work? After things got a little more settled down in the first grade at the East Building, they were a little more upset in the second, when Allen Center sent us Karen Magsig, Carol Smith, Judy Poling and Micky Dunbar, who are having a hard time getting used to the inside facilities. As we look back to the West Building, we see Eve Riser has transferred from Trinity Lutheran, because of the better teaching facilities. Crell Dana came to us in the third grade from a little two room school in the hills of Wades Mill, Kentucky. No wonder he wants to know what all the rooms are for. In the fourth grade Bill QCassanovaj Helmick of Tuscola, Illinois, came to Marysville because he had a better flock of feminine followers. It seems that Becky Elk is ill, could it be because she couldn't stand any more of those sauerkraut lunches? During the fifth year, we see big broad Jim Moder coming through the door from Trinity Lutheran, with his Monogram Ford tee shirt on. Oh, and look who is following behind him! Why it's cute little curly haired, blue .eyed Lavelle Parker, from Broadway. From Parker, Pennsylvania, came Pat Johnson, who came all the way to Marysville just to be a member of the bed pan brigade. ln the last year of grade school, we find Duane Outhwaite, from Milford having a hard time learning you are not to wear a Derby in the school room. Jo Herd, who drifted in from Radnar, is singing All that glitters is not gold, some of it is diamonds. Meanwhile back at the East Building, it was Dover's loss and our gain when Dave Johnson came to Marysville, to teach ten easy ways to roll your own. Broadway blessed us with Ken McCarty who is trying to trade his '50 Chevy for a pool cue and a draft card. Now look who just blew in, it's Jim Straley, from Westerville, playing The Farmer in the Dell on his trumpet As we enter the seventh grade, Kay Darby came to us from Wellston. Even at this early age she is practicing the bridal march. Who is that at the far end of the hall? It looks like Cupid, but it is only Beverly Elliott from Milford, chasing Dave Green, from Magnetic. Also from Milford came that tall blond, Beverly Goff. As the last year of Junior high rolls around Judy Dilmuth, the cute orange blossom from Jacksonville, Florida, 94

Class Pwplteog Tuesday, May 25, 1980 Dear Hazel, It has been quite a while since I have seen the members of our dear old class of sixty. Since this is the twentieth anniversary of our graduation, don't you think it would be,fun to get the whole gang together for a reunion? I have been quite busy with all the work and I haven't been able to keep in touch with everyone. I will give you a list of the ones that I have heard from recently and maybe you could fill me in on the rest. I can hardly wait to see them. We will have to plan a really big party. Do you remember how we used to talk about Janet Beightler going to Columbus all the time during school? Well, the other day I took-the bus down there to do some shopping and was I surprised to see her at the wheel! She probably couldn't bear not being with that familiar bus. After we had gone a few miles out of Marysville, I saw a big red barn with the name Don Bouic printed in big black letters. I walked up to Janet and asked her if that was the same one who had gone to school with us. She said yes, and that he was now cross-breeding Holsteins with Holsteins to get a cow that gives milk. While we were stopped at the light in Dublin, a big bright poster happened to catch my eye. You'll never guess whose picture was staring back at me. It was Carol Smith and that big grin of hers. She was advertising Gleam toothpaste. After we had arrived at the bus station in Columbus and I was walking up toward town, I ran into Bob Gordon. He is now the circuit salesman for Ohio Pennant and his area is from East Parsons to Goodale. When I reached the corner in front of Lazarus, I noticed the morning papers lying near the cigarette stand. Iwalked lover to buy a paper and who should be there selling them but Judy Lockwood. She was looking very happy. I imagine it was because she had finally gotten her vendor's license for Kent cigarettes. We talked for a while and thenl went on. As I .opened the newspaper, I noticed that the headlines were concerned with Y-Teens. There on the front page was our own Toni Welsch. She had aged some, but it was still Toni. She had been to a Y-Teen con- ference in Russia. As Y-Teen representative of the free world, she had just talked Krushchev into letting the Russian Y-Teen girls wear white uniforms. At the bottom of the page was a picture of Lynn Ra usch. She is making headway as the U. S. Ambassador to Japan. I was up in the women's department and I saw another one of our classmates. It was Jan Clevenger and she was selling anklewraps. That's a product that's becoming more and more useful as the years go on. I had to buy a birthe day present for my mother so I went up to the lingerie department. You know you can always find something suitable up there. Wasl surprised when the clerk turned out to be Jerry Yoder. He has very excellent taste and my mother really liked the gift. Our TV went kaput last week so I went up to price a new one. There were four TV's in a row, all with different stations. As you might guess, three of them were commercials. On the first one was Jackie Diehl advertising Man,-Tan, and on the next one was Don Hauser doing the big Otis commercial and playing his bagpipes. I-suppose that Iudy's at home With the kids. They probably eat cereal for all three meals. The next commercial was very interesting. I think Eve Riser has at last reached the height of her acting career, she was on top of the X-brand roll on deodorant. When I came to the fourth TV set there was a middle-aged man doing barnyard imitations. It was Dorence Rausch and he was in his third week on Amateur Hour. As it was nearing closing time, I rushed down to the bus station. When I ran past Lazarus garage, I saw Lavelle Parker. She is a parker there. Nearing the outskirts of town, we met with a small accident. We were hit broadside by a train. None of us were hurt too badly, but we were all sent to the hospital. You'll never guess who was driving the train. It was Crell Dana. After all those years studying engineering, he is now driving the New York Central. At the hospital we were ushered into a waiting room to await our turn with the doctor. Since I was at the end of the line, I decided to look around. On the door next to the drinking fountain, there was a picture of a baseball player being carried off the field. Under it was the name of Bill Fraker. You remember him don't you? Well, I went in to see him and I guess this was the last straw. After playing ball for one year and breaking 2 arms, 4 fingers, 2 legs, and his collar bone, he's decided to become a coach. He was nervously watching the clock. When I asked him what was wrong, I found out that he was waiting for his turn to listen to Donna Shirk. She is loved by all because she entertains the patients with selections on her accordian. I just received minor abrasions and contusions and now I am home resting. Say, I heard John Doellinger and Jerry Simpson are now running a combination golf course and poolhall. I received a letter recently from Janet Zell. I gathered from it that she is very busy with all her farm chores. She told me that Sandy Sabins now has the top position at Westinghouse, she refills the pop and popcorn machines. Janet also told me that Sharon Barnhart 96
