CLASS OF 1955 PROPHECY As old father time leafs through the pages of his records around the year 2000, he comes to the pages accounting for the deeds and misdeeds of the class of 1955, Milford High School. He pauses here to have his memory refreshed on the actions of the youth of yesterday. Shall we peek over the old gentlemans shoulder and see for ourselves? The first name on our list is that of Alan Beer. It seems that after Alan had passed from the 'Halls of Ivy for the last time, he went on to attain great fame as the worldis best educated sewer cleaner. The next three climbed, and I do mean climbed, to high honor together, Joe Haney piloted the first round trip interplantary flight with the able as- sistance of his blond co-pilot, Dorothy Dot Rensberger. They were ac- companied by the U.S. Ambassador, Carolyn Crafton, who was to promote good will in whatever spot they landed. Now we come to the spot on the record that ,Milford is most proud of. After a vigorous campaign, Nova Jean Morris became,the United Stateis first woman president with the unanimous vote of the people. Another former Trojan also went to the governmental side of business. Indiana was well represented by the lshall we put it mildly?J long winded Senator, Ray Haab. Ray, a good friend of the Governor attended many ele- gant parties in the governor's mansion. The governor's wife, the former Nan- cy Gerber, was voted The Hostess With The Mostess many times over. Darell Bowman devoted his life to his chosen profession, newspaper work. After M.H.S., Darell spent the rest of his years as copy boy for the Chicago Tribune. The graduate from Milford most happy in his work was Max Clark. He left Milford only to become the dean of Vassar, a world renown girls' col- lege. The next little lady on our list went into a somewhat un-ladylike pro- fession. Miss Alice Geiger was employed at a leading night club as a lady bouncer. James Moore changed, not only his style of work known by M.H.S., but also his name. He was known all over the continent as Jaques , the wo- men's hair designer, creator of the '4Jaquette hair style. Glyn Sonny Hamilton has a mild existence devoting his life to little living things. For you see Sonny was a Bacteriologist. Barbara Yoder showed her ability to run things and carry high author- ity when she became warden at the Womenls State Prison. She brought the escape rate down almost 100 percent. We have three representatives in the musical field. First, Carol Miller became known at home and abroad as the best tap dancer since Ann Miller. Another name on our list is that of Dick Holderread. Dick gained the high honor of being the solo piccolo player in the Philharmonic Orchestra. Last but not least we have George Bowler, the most graceful male ballet dancer ever to grace a stage. Roger Baumgartner became quite a famous columnist writing under a strange pen name. The title of his column was Aunt Nellie's Advice To The Love Lorn . ' La Mar Stutzman was one of the few to remain in Milford. He increased the size of the Milford Library and reigned over his brood as head librarian. Alyce Wehrly devoted her life to music as everyone expected. She reach- ed great heights playing the piano in the Chicago Museum Nickelodeon to the silent picture of 1903, The Great Train Robbery. The great lover, Phil Campbell, has achieved great fame as recruiting sergeant for the Waves. Our town queen, Clarann Hartter, did go to the stage as everyone ex- pected. She has recently retired after scrubbing the stage floor in the Met- ropolitan Opera House for 35 years. Pat Slabaugh, after many hard years of brick laying, received fame for designing the triangular brick used so extensively today. Slowly closing his book, Old Father Time wearily nods his head and says, A job well done by the class of 1955.', Written by Pat Tobin
