I960 PUB THE S E M E HIGH METEOR L I S H E D BY IM I 0 R E L A S S A M O R A SCHOOL METAMORA, OH IO We, the seniors of I960, pause at the parting of life's ways. Uncertain, knowing not what paths to choose. And glancing back for fear that we should lose Fond and blissful memories of those joyous, carefree days. Yet, even while our hearts are sad to leave. And our loyalty to old friends still is strong. The future calls us with a welcome song. For we are young and youth does not long grieve. But memories of the joys these days have brought And happiness in friendships formed while here Will make the years we spent within these walls A memory that grows with time more dear. In a world unknown we hope new trails to blaze For our life begins when end these high school days. OUR ALMA MATER Sweet be thy memory, high school of ours. Pair be thy destiny, fadeless thy flowers, Hearts that have loved tnee; have won in life's flight. Names that we honor, our standard holds bright. Our Metamora, dear, to thee we sing. May all thy future years new honors bring. May friends thy banners raise, thy foes grow less. All love and praise to our old M. H. S. DEDICATION We, the graduating class of i960, wish to ex- press our deep appreciation to our Superintendent, Mr. 0. J. Pifer,whose intellectual guidance, abid- ing cheerfulness, and good will have enabled us seniors to enjoy the curriculum of the past four years. It is to you, Mr. Pifer, that we, the Meteor staff,proudly dedicate the contents of this Meteor. APPRECIATION We, the senior class of '60, wish to express our sincere appreciation to Miss Ruth Nachtrieb for her guidance understanding, and all the assis- tance she has given us with the Mirror and the i960 Meteor. From the whole senior class, thank you. FACULTY SNAPSHOTS IIU.

This year the members receiving the degree are: Mary Bettinger, Margaret Adair, and Sandra Barrett. The degree program is an integral part of the F.h.A. and home economics program. Since it helps members to evaluate their growth, it is encouraged and widely participated in by the chapter members. The Junior degree,a freshman project, is the introduction to the program. The Chapter degree, a sophomore project, is more advanced. Each girl who is trying for the State home- maker degree is required to show that she has been an active member in home, school, F.h.A. chapter, and community. Re- commendations were written by various persons connected with these activities to show that definite individual improve- ments were made. The State homemaker degree, the highest honor a girl in F.h.A. can receive, is sought by many members. The qualifi- cations are extensive and thus the number of F.h.A. memoers attaining this degree is limited. The work is hard but with the assistance of the chapter advisor, Mrs. Helen Phillips, the personal gain is quite an honor. NIFTY BEAUTY SHOP Experienced In All Lines Of Beauty Culture Prop.

However, they then lost to Pulton twice, Wauseon, Chesterfield, and the alumni girls. For extra entertainment this year a group of girls were selected from the team and went to the Play Day April 2 at Swanton. Mrs. J. C. Phillips did another fine job in coaching the team.

Things look good for years to come as there are only 3 seniors and the rest of the team composed of underclassmen. The fielding was much better this year, but they still need to work on their hitting. Paul Kanneman and Doug Ford did the pitching for the fall season.

It was a story about Juju, a cannibal queen, wno was mis- takenly expected to come to the United States to go on exhi- bition. When Juju did not arrive, Iflss Day masqueraded in her place.

The plot of the story was laid in a lonely old house situated on a small island connected to the mainland by only one bridge. To this deserted place came Elaine Blair, her lawyer-fiance, and her mother to look over the property which Elaine had inherited at her uncle's death. The plot thickened as Dr. Fersig tried to keep Elaine from discovering the where- abouts of a large sum of money which was hidden on the premises. After much excitement, the mystery was solved by the housekeeper and her deaf-mute son who turned out to be de- tectives. JR. - SR. PROM. Compliments of BARMABY'S LUNCH Metamora, Ohio GEORGE FLACK Motorist Mutual Insurance Company Phone Metamora 2602 IMOHd HS - HP PROPHECY Well, here we are in the year 2000, and we finally decided to take a vacation from NANCY EL FEE'S Home for Elderly Ladies and look up our old classmates from the graduation class of 1960. It was too bad that NANCY was jilted by her only lover and had to resort to taking care of other ladies around Metamora instead of him. Before we ever got out of Metamora, we happened to see HELEN PENCE with three of her twelve children sitting in DAVID BOROFF'S Health Bar. DAVID, along with SUSAN LANGENDERFER, his associate, had a veiy prosper- ous business. (SUSAN always said she wanted to be a bar maid of some kind.) After drinking a glass of carrot juice at the bar, we decided to visit our old Alma Mater. We were very happy to see DENNIS KANE, the superintendent. Since there had been so many changes in the school, including an additional 1500 students, we asked to be taken on a tour. Our first stop was the Kindergarten room where we saw another of our classmates, HELEN ZENK. She was very busy running around after her 100 children, and we didn't have much time to talk. We thanked DENNIS for showing us the school and left to board our jet at the Metamora Municipal Airport. Our next stop was Washington, D. C., and we landed there approxi- mately five minutes after we left Metamora. We started sightseeing and came upon the Russian Embassy. There we stopped in to say hello to JOHN EISEL, the newly appointed ambassador to Russia. We talked for a while, and JOHN decided to take us to lunch. When we arrived at the restaurant, we bumped into our old friend, TALTON GORDON. He didn't have much time to spend with us because he is a very busy man now that he is the Secretary of State. We said good-bye to TALTON and went to the United Nations Building. A6 we were going in, PATRICIA WOODWARD was coming out, and we stopped to chat awhile. She told us of her many adventures as a missionary in China. PATRICIA invited us to see the Eisenhower monument. There we saw MAJOR LINDA WELCH and GENERAL JAMES DITCH, who are both important figures in the United States Air Force. Our time was getting short, so we wished everyone well and boarded our plane to New York. On our way to New York City, we stopped at Vassar College for Women and saw three of our classmates. GREG TRUCKOR, who was the president, greeted us with the same warm smile that we remembered him by. GREG told us that JERRY FIKE, the janitor, was still the biggest wolf on the campus, and FRANK MURD, the psychology professor, wasn't doing toe badly himself. From Vassar we went to New York City and had a cab drive us to WallStreet. Upon entering one of the lavish buildings, we were greeted at the door by DOUGLAS FORD, who in the last few years had became a very wealthy man thanks to his 287 uranium deposits all over the world. DOUGLAS told us that there were many more of our classmates in New York.

We attracted his attention and invited him over to our table. He told us that he was in New York on important business and would be there only a few days. As he is the President of the AFL-CIO, we understood his rush as he made his conversation brief because he had an important meeting of the top officials of the union. The previous day we had made an appointment at the Charles of the Ritz to have our hair set. The time for the appointment was for 2 p.m., and we had just enough time to window shop at Macy's. By 1:1j5 we reached the salon where the head beautician, JANET PINKK1.MAN, told us that she would do a special job for us because we had been such good friends. After we had gossiped and finally had the finishing touches added, we wished her happiness and were on our way. That evening we met DOUGLAS again, and he took us to the world famous Rainbow Roan owned by society queen, RUTH LANGEHDERFER. They were featuring the famous dance team of SUE MOSSING and GERALD POSNER. We enjoyed their performance very much, but it was getting late and we had to return to the hotel. The next morning as we were reading our newspaper we learned that PAUL KANNEMAN had been appointed warden at Sing Sing. RONALD PATEK and EVERETT HINES, who had been connected with a rigged television quiz show, were now serving time there. The program hadn't been any good, anyway. That afternoon we once again boarded our jet plane and flew to Las Vegas to spend some of our hard-earned money. While we were play- ing at the roulette table, we spied the millionaire playboy, LESLIE HINTZ, playing across the way. That evening he had won the small amount of $900,000. It was a pretty good day's salary. LESLIE gave us a hot tip about two very good bookies in the city, and that we could count on their word for the races. When we reached their office, we found them to be none other than CAROLINE BERENDT and KATHLEEN SCHRADER, and hot tips they were. We lost a hundred dollars and figured that it was enough of Las Vegas for one vacation. From there we headed for Hollywood. We went directly to Warner Bros, studio to see our favorite actress, JANICE GLECKLER, who had be- come very popular throughout the country. Co-starring with her was SUSAN SMITH in one of the most exciting movies of the century. JANICE and SUSAN invited us to a party that was being held at the residence of Kr. and Mrs. Ricky Nelson. Mrs. Nelson, the former KAY KEITH, wel- comed us with open arms. KAY introduced us to her other guests. Among them were the former Mr. America, TUM HAYDEN, and his date for the evening, the '-lad Magazine editor, KAREN PINKELMAN. The evening was much too short but since all good things had to come to an end, we had to be on our way once again. SANDERSON'S SERVICE STATION Tires Batteries Accessories Phone Richfield 219U Berkey, Ohio JOHN O'NEIL AND SONS John Deere and New Idea Farm Equipment, Parts, Service Phone Lyons 2771 PROPHECY At the airport we encountered BARBARA WELCH andher Olympic girls' basketball team waiting to catch a plane to the 2000 Olympic games in Alaska. We had only a short time to talk because our plane was waiting to take us to Florida, our last stop on our wonderful adventure. At Cape Canaveral in Florida we went to see the specimens that PETER and VICTOR FORCE had brought back in 1988 from their first jour- ney to Mars. They showed us their pictures of the life on that planet. It was all very interesting, but we were anxious to get back to Meta- mora and NANCY'S home for ladies like us. We were very happy to see all our old friends, but it surely seemed good to be home.
