NINETEEN CLASS POEM The class of nineteen fifty-eight, Which soon will graduate, Has spent twelve years of smiles and tears Preparing for this date. We’ve learned to write and read and add; Been model girls and hoys! And now our ”extradition” date Has filled our hearts ivith joys. So many times ive’ve flunked a test, (Or, merely passed the grade) When extra study would have seen Our extra work repaid. Our life is out in front of us; Our past mistakes behind. And with the help of God and man We pray that we may find A full life that is richly blessed Because we’ve tried to do our best. by Mary Kate Miller This page sponsored by Country Print Shop

EIGHTEEN CLASS PROPHECY After fifteen years, Sue Shoemaker returned to her Alma Mater to spend a vacation with Lucy Coplen and Sharlene Ware. Having exchanged their greetings, the girls de- cided to look the town over. The first stop was Lucy's and Sharlene's dress shop, which they had named after themselves, The LuShar Dress Sa- lon . It was a very fashionable shop which only the very exclusive set could afford to patronize. In one room amid hair dryers and full length mirrors stood Diane Doyle, a very famous beautrician, working on Janet King's hair. Janet, who is mar- ried to Phil Bucher, modeled in the salon when- ever she could find someone to babysit with her twins. Since it was lunch time the girls headed for the Unctious Spoon, a restaurant owned and operated by Beverly Horn and Linda Linn. Beverly waited on customers while Linda was the chief Cook and bottle washer. When asked about some of the boys that were in the class of 1958, the girls told Sue that Jim Manwaring had become a very famous lawyer, James Zehrung was an intern at Westville, and Ronnie Sevems and Larry Mellott manufactured Santa Qaus decorations since they were so fond of borrowing them back in their high school days, and they also owned a farm with Eddie Cook. Melvin Keplinger applied for a job as custodian of the gymnasium, thinking that Omey had the life, sleeping in the utility rooms. He had just received notice that he was to be the first pas- senger in a rocket to the moon. Stopping to read the New York Times, Sue learned that Bill McGinnis was the editor and that Lucy had written an article for the vacationing Hedda Hopper. Reading the variety notes, she dis- covered that Nadene Kittrell was in a successful play that combined her wit and dramatic ability. Sue learned that Deanna Hatfield and Nancy Hedington ran a Bachelor Club, of which LeRoy Markley was a member. He was also the Profes- sor of English at the Mentone University. Mary Kate Miller who majored in Home Eco- nomics is a missionary to the Amazon River Val- ley, where she is teaching the natives how to run their huts efficently. Sue learned from Lee that Diane Huffman had married an art instructor, and together they ran an art school. Susie Houck had married Gaylord Johnston and was running a race with Donna Eaton Wagoner to see who could get a basketball team and cheer- leaders first. Linda Hart is still active in cub scouts, to which two of her sons belong. Martha Perry is happily married to a farmer and has several children. Jim Irwin and Tim Utter married their high school sweethearts and are now chief demonstra- tors of a mattress company. After a very enjoyable visit, Sue returned to California where she is the head nurse of a hos- pital. by Sue Shoemaker and Lucy Coplen This page sponsored by Orville McFadden, Veterinarian
