This marks only the end of your second phase of education---high school. Some of you will further continue your formal education; others will gain employment. All will, how- ever, continue to learn. Keep an open mind and look for something new each day. You can never stand still; you must either progress or regress. It is the hope of each generation that those generations to follow will contribute further to man's betterment. So it is with us, the old folks at Meredosia- Chambersburg High School. To you, the new generation , is given the responsibility of a better society. During our school years together many friendships have been made. We have learned to be tolerant of one another and to cooperate. Traits and characteristics developed thus far constitute the foundation on which you will build your future. May it be strong and bright. We will follow your careers with interest and oftentimes comment with pride, He is a former pupil of mine. Assistant Principal On behalf of the Faculty and Board of Educa- tion we congratulate you on your achievements and bid you God speed for the future.

The climax of four unforgettable years! Even after these last exciting events, we shall always remember all our school days in good old Meredosia-Chambersburg High School._ During our sophomore year, Mr. Major was our class sponsor and chaperoned us to St. Louis on our class trip. We gained another classmate but lost three more. Upperclassmen at last! The big events this _. year were our class play and the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. The theme of our Prom was Moonlight Serenade,and our class play was Saved by the Belle. We went to St. Louis on our class trip. We fared well under the sponsorship of Miss Schulte as just one junior left us this year. .Here we are! Seniors at last! The end of four wonderful years. Guiding us through this last precious year is Miss Mary Ann ' Schulte. For Beauty's Sake is the title of our class play. We are looking forward to a lovely Prom. •..if’,  • • v. .': • ' We invaded MCHS in September, 1954. Four short years have gone by and now we are preparing to leave the hallowed halls of learning. Upon our entrance we were twenty-six strong. Mr. Savoie, our class sponsor, guided us through that first cru- cial year. At the end of our freshman year we lost five students.

To the Faculty-- 1. We leave best wishes for the rest of your teaching career. 2. We leave our plans for the future. 3. We leave, last but not least, all our troubles. To the Juniors we bequeath-- 1. Our dignity and air of sophistication. 2. The special privileges Seniors are entitled to. To the Sophomores we give the following advice-- 1. Work hard to make money for a good prom and Senior Class trip. 2. Have fun your Junior and Senior years. They'll never be forgotten. To the Freshmen 1. We leave our blessings and wishes that you get through MCHS with high honors and unforgettable memories just as the class of 1958 did. The individual bequeaths are as follows-- I, Judy Allen, just leave. I need everything I've got. I, Eleanor Beauchamp, will my position on the annual staff to Sue Ann Reining. I, Sharon Elben, leave my position at the bass drum to anyone who wants it. I, Louella Fuelling, will my quietness to Judy Major. I, Susan Gregory, will married life to Richard Hickman and Margie Hull. I, Wayne Goewey, will my car's hot speed to Rondell Sims, and also my long curly hair to Miss Schulte. I, Judy McKinney, will my conversational talents to Jesse Barrett. I, Phyllis Battefeld, will my hopes to get out of here to Terry Fletcher. Good luck, Terry! ! I, Dottie Hobson, will my car to Mary Gregory, Sarah Petri, and Joyce Rausch so they won't have to walk to school. I, Mark Unland, will my ability to do calisthenics to Eddie Barrett. I, Mary Steinberg, will my ability to step on people's toes in study hall to Rondell Sims. I, Bill Likes, will my driving skill to Robert Potter. I, Judy Martin, leave my brother Gene to carry on the family name honorably. I, Dick Hall, will my perfect attendance to Terry Fletcher. He needs it. I, Joan Newman, leave my locker, books, old papers, and pencil stubs to anyone who wants them. I, Archie Hunter, will nothing. I have nothing to leave. I, Anna Clark, will my ability to sleep in study hall to anyone who needs sleep. I, Karen Yost, leave to Judy Buhlig, all the rights and privileges of a Senior. One year as a Senior is enough. Good Luck! Prairie Farms Mt. Sterling, Illinois 17 Hersman Trading Post Hersman, Illinois CLASS PROPHECY Well, here it is, our class reunion. These ten _years have passed so fast. 1968 already! Wandering through the crowd here at our reunion I first came across Judy Martin. Judy was a Martin until about five years ago when she changed her name. She is now a bookkeeper for her husband's theater in Arizona. I just caught a glimpse of Susan (Griebler) Gregory across the room Sue is now raising a basketball team under the watchful eye of her coach- husband. In the spotlight now is our old school chum Phyllis Battefeld who is a Grand Ole Opry singing sensation. Phyllis is going to sing for us her favorite song and latest hit-- l Wish I Were Back in School. Our kind-hearted school mate, Judy McKinney, is doing the public a great favor. Judy is running a home for homeless animals. In the center of a large crowd stands Mark Unland (a rising scien- tist, outer space explorer and former classmate.) Mark is second only to Einstein but he is working on his own theory. Mark took time out from his preparation for the second manned trip to the moon. Mr. Savoie, our high school science teacher, was the first to reach the moon. Standing in a remote corner is Dick Hall. He is very studious looking now-a-days. As you might already know, Dick started to school all over again to increase his record of not missing any school for twelve years. Judy Allen is sitting at a table covered with food and she is eating away. Judy is still under the influence of our Senior Class play and is running a cootie farm for homeless and mistreated cooties. Dottie Kay Hobson flew in from Wyoming to be with the rest of us. Dottie runs a Beauty Ranch--she got the idea from our Senior play. G and W Furniture Store Pittsfield, Illinois Riley's Station J. R. Vose Chambersburg, Illinois Chambersburg, Illinois Pool's Grocery Store Chambersburg, Illinois 18 I see Mary Jean Steinberg seated at the piano commercing to play. Mary Jean is a world famous concert pianist. Thousands of male admirers are yielding to Mary Jean's every wish. Over in a corner Louella Fuelling is showing many blue ribbons and trophies she brought with her. She and her husband now live in Kentucky and own a large stable stocked with prize race horses. Their favorite horse is named Horsenik I --a Kentucky derby winner. As I move from table to table I rim across Eleanor Beauchamp, our former annual co-editor. Eleanor is a prominent newspaper and fashion magazine editor; she lives in a large penthouse in New York. I see Anna Clark, now a popular Hollywood star, posing for snap- shots. Ever since Anna was elected Homecoming Queen back at MCHS she has won many beauty contests which led her to the film capital. I'm sorry to say I didn't find Wayne Goewey in the crowd. He is now a hermit living by himself in the wilds around Chambersburg, Illinois. Poor Wayne, just too many girls! Joan Newman and Bill Likes are still going steady. Bill has popped the question to Joan, but Joan says she feels they don't know each other well enough yet. Talking to Joan and Bill is Archie Hunter. Archie is now a famous television and Rock-and-Roll recording star. Archie is still brooding over his lost love, Mrs. E. Presley--his competitor's wife. Sharon Elben, our bass drummer, has now become Mrs. E. Presley and is still all shook up. She is living in her fashionable Beverly Hills home. Last of all is me, Karen Yost. I'm a registered nurse so I'll take care of all the upset stomachs and headaches that occur after this big party. Mt. Sterling Implement Co. Mt.

We are at the present time a little above the 500 mark in games won. If we can finish the season with a few more victories than defeats, I think we will have had a successful year in basketball. Only two boys on the squad are seniors. These boys are co-captains Wayne Goewey and Dick Hall. A large number of the squad are fresh- men and sophomores. The future in basket- ball could be bright if these boys keep im- proving. Looking back to the beginning of the year 1 suppose I should say something a- bout our football season. Our record was one victory and seven losses. We had a squad of few in number and consisting large- ly of underclassmen. I think, however, that injuries to a couple of key players. Gene Martin and Mark Unland, prevented us from having a better season. A few of the under- classmen showed great promise and the football team is bound to do better next year. It is too early to know yet what the future holds for us in baseball and track. We do have a good nucleus to build around in base- ball and I understand there are several prom- ising freshmen track candidates. Elliott State Bank Jacksonville, Illinois Walker Furniture Co.
