Early the morning we were to leave, everyone was on time except Jan Clendenin, He missed the train complete- ly. In this depressed state, he began to look around and de- cided that he would be a famous bird watcher. He is now the president of the World Bird Watching Association. By and by the train came to a screeching halt. We found out later that Tom Laux was fascinated by the engine room and had pulled the brakes. He liked to do this so well he is now the official brake puller for the B 0 Railroad. We finally arrived in Washington. Edith Tripp was now able to put to work her master plan--that of becoming the president of the U. S. No one knows how she did it, but she is now the first lady president of the U. S. In Washington we went on a tour of the city. Scott Good had such an urge to jump out of the window of the Washington Monument that he decided he would be a world famous high tra- peze artist. Did he make it? Who knows? We traveled further on our trip. Soon we saw a huge fire at a wholesale house- Bob Eisel saved ten lives before the fire department arrived. This caused him to become the fire chief of the largest fire department in the world. Warren DeWitt, the thinker of the class, went to the police station one night. We found out why later. He had a cure for juvenile delinquency. What is that cure'5 Only future Juveniles are allowed to know. We moved on. Danny Miller was very interested in the guide. When we left this tour, there was no Danny. He had joined the Washington Touring Club and now guides tours through Washington. We left Washington and arrived in New York. We pro- ceeded to our hotel but in such a large place as New York we lost Sylvia Schrader. We found out in later years that she was a social worker helping on Skid Row. After we rested in our hotel, we set sail for the city. By the end of the day we missed another member, Roger Barna- by. He didn't like those buildings with no farm in sight for miles. We found out that he owns the only city cattle farm in the heart of New York. One night all the seniors left went to see the Rock- ettes, Ruth Crossman and Marjory Welch jumped up on the stage for no reason except that they wanted to dance. They were summoned for an audition and became lead chorus girls. One night we went to a swanky place to eat. Bill Langen- derfer saw the place where he could make much money. He saw the manager about working there with Susie Bakerassinger and Martha Mossing as bar maid. The owner said OK, because he 35 SENIOR PROPHECY was going to die anyway. They now own the BilSuMar Club, the richest and with the most famous waiter and singer In history After about four days and losing so many people, we de- cided it was time for the rest of us to be doing something, too. Ralph Ford made a dramatic jump off the Empire State Building and lived to tell it. Everyone said Alice LaFountain met some man in New York and eloped with him to Mexico. She now has 12 red headed boys. Danny Kasper came up missing about this time, also. Jim Ott was angry because he wanted to be something, too. He set forth to see an employment agency. They said his aptitude tests showed him to be a feather-weight boxer. One day all the girls decided they would go shopping. Carol Porter ripped one of the dresses she tried on and was made to go into the sewing room where she has been paying fbr the damage for years. She still writes to Junior, though. One afternoon the boys went to see a sports car race. All were on time except the driver of a red and black minia- ture Mercury. Well, Dick Campbell, seeing the opportunity to become great, jumped into the racer and took off. He won by a landslide and has been racing ever since. George Cox was beginning to worry about money to sup- port his family. A man came up and gave him a miUion-dollar check. He is now living in luxury. Next we passed a swimming pool. Joan Benner was so warm that she stopped and put her feet in the water. She was about to leave when Richard Pifer took a picture of them. This caused such a laugh from everyone that they baame stred; performers trying to make sad people on the street happy. The rest of us were tired by this time ati ready to come home. On our way to the station Reed Ludman, Bill Raab, and Danny Nykodym were robbed of their possessions so they coulcht come home. Upon investigation, I found out Reed was a sdt ol teacher; Bill, a mouse veterinarian; and Danny, a gambler. Dortha Hallett was notified by the Navy that she was to serve her country, and she is now a WAVE. Sue Farnsel, Naomi Grant, and Myron Pinkelman were all relaxed on the train for home. All of a sudden they realized they had gotten on the wrong train and were headirg for a trip to Africa. They made the best of it, though. Sue is now an elephant trainer for the log team. Naomi is a wild native girl. The heat got the best of her. Myron is a vdtch doctcr, I was the only one to make it home. Don t believe a word I say, though, because I, Carol Cartwright, am insane. 36 BABY PICTURES OF SENIORS CLASS HISTORY This bouncing toy was born October 2i[, 19i+0 to Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Good.

The club collected tax stamps which amounted to $68.85. One highlight of the year was their trip to the Toledo Art Museum where a guide told them about the British Paint- ings and the Crown Jewels. The pupils were well prepared for this tour because they had just finished an intensive study of the British Isles which Included the painters and their works of art. It was a committee of sixth grade parents who made it possible for the Metamora PTA to see the exhibit of British Paintings on the evening of March 20. Contributions were made to the Red Cross fund and the March of Dimes. Due to the flu bug which was so busy in the fall no one had a perfect attendance record. During the year Halloween, Valentine, and Christmas parties were enjoyed, also a trip through the Jersey Bread Company and Drlggs Dairy Company. 70 SIXTH GRADE I Kathleen Bond I Karen Born Dolores Brand i Edward Buck S8ndra Clendenin Sandra Donahue Larry Dunn Diana Fillinger •Fernando Flores James Foreman Gregory Geer |Brace Gleckler Joseph Gormley I Lenny Hildreth Lloyd Huston Robert Jessen Ruth Kelley I Paul Kolbe I Craig Northcott Carol Sue Paul ]Charles Philebaum |Doris Rosebrock Linda Sell .Rosemary Shepard Nary Tripp 'Robert Uloth John Vershum I Thomas Vershum I Lois Ann Waemer Randall Winn 71 FIFTH GRADE Sandra Baldwin Carol Banks Patricia Banks Cheryl Barnaby Cheryl Becker Walter Blake Jerry Burroughs David Crockett Patricia Doyle Diana Dunn James Parley Jose Flores Grace Foreman Martina Garlick Richard Gleckler Sandra Gormley William Hallett Richard Hassen Bonita Heyman Cariotta Heyman Robert Loar Kathy Loften Richard Moore Betty Parsons Meredith Schafer John Smallman John Rice Mary Jo Weis 72 FIFTH GRADE The fifth grade began the year with 3 pupils and had 27 at t h e end of the year.

Musically speaking, Mr. Jack Phillips invited the cl ss to participate in the school band activities—a first oppor- tunity for the group, w i . ‘-n The Future Scientists Club of Metamora was officially organized on September 19 and grew to promote numerous sciencff.y projects. Among them was a track hunt in the dead of win- ter to Biehl's woods and the tapping of sugar maple tree sap. -i' Geography offered the class a variety of opportunities for festivals. Their first was a Market Day in Chichi, ? complete even to the serving of hot tortillas and vegetables-' fresh from the milpa. 1 A field trip to DeVerna's Farm Implements resulted after their completion of the unit about the cornbelt region. A social evening jist as the New England fishermen en- joy during the winter months was staged in the latter part of March. Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine parties were the big holiday affairs, but every once in a while a birthday party or miscellaneous one was sand’wiched in. Their Interpretation of I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christ- mas for the annual Christmas program made quite an impres- sion on the appreciative audience, but not too tragic an im- pression so that their stockings weren't full on Christmas. Entry in the first grade school basketball tournament was most exciting for all the team members AND SIX CHEER- LEADING GROUPS. Victory over the third grade by a score of i|-0 put their spirits high in the clouds, but they returned from outer soace when they were defeated by the fifth 7-6. Classroom movies brightened such subjects as health, science, and geography. Their annual outing in the spring to historical spots along the Maumee River will long be remembered. With a motto of Fun Forever, this class will continue to enjoy their school work and play as they--all three dozen-- advance in wisdom (and nonsense!) to be fifth graders in 1958-59. 71+ FOURTH GRADE Beverly Aten Jo Ann Born Carole Crockett Michael Delauter Randy DeVriendt Beverly Fleck Joseph Foreman Ruben Flores Darlene Floro Gretchen Geer Jeffrey Geer Kenneth Hiatt Dennis Hill Mark Huston Sharilyn Kolbe Earl Lee Karen Loften Thomas Moore Kathy Ottgen David Pifer William Ries Ronnie Rohroback Robert Rosebrock Classie Scott Alice Shaffer Frances Shepard Merlyn Tripp David Winn Penny Woodward Cathy Wotring 75 THIRD GRADE Billy Baldwin Paul Barnes Michael Beam Howard Becker James Blake Christine Bond Donald Ditch Gloria Doyle Nicky Fike Susan Fillinger Linda Floro Pamela Geer Martin Gillin David Grant Michael Gormley Donald Hassen Bonnie Hill Larry Howard Mary Ann Huston Mary Kelley Isabel Lee Floyd Miller Nick Mossing Donald Murphy Billy Parsons Bobby Parsons Brenda Pattison Pamela Pitzen Frederica Reed Jill Shaffer Duane Tredway Claude Van Zandt Cheryl Woodward Lynn Truckor (absent) Ed Posner (absent) 76 THIRD GRADE Forty-two boys and girls were enrolled in the third grade at the beginning of the school year.

March of Dimes received the co-operation of the class and so did the School Carnival. A trip to the Metaraora Record ofiice was most enlight- ening. The boys and girls saw the news recorded and dis- tributed. Reading the Reading Circle Eooks has taken extra time but nearly everyone enjoyed it and earned their certificates. Every Friday a talent show was held in the room. The variety of talent found made the shows unusally enjoyable and ins irational especially the dramatization of stories.

Dad is a terrific efficiency expert, and to speed up the young people's educa- tion he buys language lesson records for them to play every morning in the bathroom. Dad has a heart condition which he's keeping secret from the family. He knows that he's on borrowed time and that's why he's doing his best to make his family efficient. He becomes aware of how much Anne has grown up and that of course she should have dates and go to dances. At the same time Anne realizes the truth about Dad. Their understanding is complete.

Two gun slingers were expected when Ambrose Groves and Bert Miller arrived in Dead Man's Gulch. The gun slingers were supposed to quell the shootin1, and of course Ambrose and Bert were mistaken for them. Dead Man's Gulch was in the middle of the desert, so everybody fought everybody else, and blood flowed like Old Faithful, and nothing could be done about it. Ambrose did just the opposite from what the cowpunchers' union wanted. He didn't get the goods on the crooked sher- iff; he was completely beaten and soundly trounced by Hoot Owl Pete and was practically hung by Stinkweed. He didn't get the heroine, Nancy, either. Before the play started, the Bar X Ranch Hands played a medley of Western songs. Between the first and second acts the girls' sextet sang. The cast is as follows: Dan'1.......... Ambrose Groves.
