Senior History In September, 19U2, as in any other year at mill Creek School, a group of mischievous little children enrolled as first graders, anxi- ous to begin on what seemed to be an endless, twelve-year career. At that time, they were just another class, but now, in the year of 19514» they are Mill Creek’s Honorable Seniors I At the end of the first year of schooling there were approximate- ly thirty members of the class, seven of which are now seniors at W.C. H.S. These seven were, Mary Baugh, ilma Lindsley, biva Cochrai., Vic- tor oms, Dale Jones, Hoy Wolff, and Buzz Worthington. During the next years, other members came and went and in our graduating class there are thirteen members. Besides the seven already mentioned there are: Mary eeden, Donna Harrison, Gayle Replogle, Jim Devereaux, Bin Rockwell, and Charles Daniel. In our freshman year the important activities of our life really began. September 21, 1950, we were initiated Into high school. On December 20, all members of the class took part in The Doctor of Lonesome Folk ; a Christmas Pantomime, which turned out to be a great success. Our class officers that year were: President, Jim Devereaux; Vice President, Dale Jones; Secretary, Gayle Replogle; and Treasurer, Mary Baugh. We entered our sophomore year by sponsoring a skating party on October 13, Near the end of the year, we had a class party at Michi- gan city park. Class officers that year were; Pres., Dale Jones; Vice Pres., Gayle Replogle; Sec., Mary Baugh; Treasurer, iva Cochran. Our junior year was even busier than either the freshman or the sophomore years. We had charge of the concession stand, as juniors do each year. On September 22, we sponsored another skating party. Oct- ober 16th to November 10th found us selling magazine subscriptions. The object of getting all this money was for a junior-senior trip which we hoped to take in the spring. At the first of the year, we ordered our class rings, and on November 19th, our order arrived. On the seventh of January the juniors and seniors, along with the history teacher, took an interesting field trip to LaPorte to visit the Slicer Corporation and Allis Chalmers. On the evening of January seventeenth eight members of the class had a little party in South Bend. First we went to a movie and then to eat at the Philadelphia . Some time dur- ing the month of February, the juniors and seniors took another field trip; this time to B0uth Bend to the Tribune Building and then to Mish- awaka to the sewage disposal plant. On March third, the same two classes toured by bus to Indianaoolis to visit the state capital and many otner points of interest. Karen twentieth the juniors sponsored a dance, and on March twenty-seventh a play entitled If Mother Only Knew . Nearly all the class took part in this play. Later that year. May eighth and ninth, we chartered a bus and journeyed to the great city of Chicago. (Of course we took the seniors along, for this was the big occasion we had been planning and saving for.) Limited space on this page prevents a detailed description of the trip, but we can assure you that it was a wonderful trip. The class officers that year were the same as the sophomore year. AND NOW WE ARE SENIORS! !I! We began with a bang! On September 18th, we initiated the green freshies . On September 23, Camps Photo- graphers came to take our pictures. They came again on October 28, to take more pictures. On October 17th the seniors sponsored a dance to finance the year-book, and later, on November 13th, a turkey raffle for the same purpose. Our Picture orders arrived on December l th, just in time for Christmas. Nine members of the class took an inter- esting trip to Washington D. C. as guests of the LaPorte Herald-Argus. Senior class officers are: Pres Dale; V.pres.,Gayle; Sec.,Elva,and Treas., Mary Baugh. All in all, we nave had a pretty wonderful time at Mill Creek, but we must admit, we’re anxious to get out and see what this cruel old world is really like!!!

Senior Prophecy It was 10:03 A.M. when I arrived at Hong Kong. Destination: Madame Iknowitall, a fortune teller. My job: Find out what the Mill Creek class of ' will be doing in the distant year of 1980. I found Madame Iknowitall on her front lawn gazing into her crystal ball. Me: Pardon me, Ma'm. I'd like to ask you a few questions, Ma'm. Madame I: Sure, I don't mind. Me: Could you tell me a few things concerning the Mill Creek class of ' 5U? What, for instance, will they be doing in the year 1980, Ma'm? Madame I: Mill Creek? ell now let me see. Does the name Victor Dorns sound familiar? You'll be hearing a lot from him in 1980. That is the year he will win the Nobel prize for hi3 contribution to the good health of animals all over the world. And Roy Wolff is an- other one you'll be hearing from. He will be the mayor of Mill Creek, the 3rd largest city in Indiana. My crystal ball is showing me a big, baseball park now. Oh! I see why! The Chicago Cubs, who are managed by Ray Worthington, are playing the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates are managed by Bill Rockwell. These two boys are great enemies now , and haven't spoken to each other in fifteen years. And up in the stands selling popcorn is the handsome Gig Replogle. Wilma Lindsley is a Professor of Advanced Research in the Psy- chology of Adolescents at Vassar University. And the always-capable- and-efficient Mary Weeden is secretary in charge of the Space Patrol, on the planet Lunar. Charles Daniel, who developed the world's largest species of olives a few years ago, was just elected President of the Olive Growers Union. Mrs. Dean Lowry, the former Miss Elva Cochran, had just won a beauty contest and is Mrs. Universe of 1980. Mary Alice Baugh, who always did have a love for children, loves them no more. She is now the matron in a private school for little girls. This may surprise you. Dale Jones is a lieutenant in charge of the traffic violations division, in LaPorte. And Jim Devereaux, Hollywood's playboy movie actor, has Just won the academy award for his latest movie. Well, I think that does it, my dear, Madame Iknowitall finished up. But Ma'm, I said, anxious to know my own fate. Whatever hap- pened to Donna Harrison. I just want to get the facts. Ma'm! Oh, she 8 still at Northwestern completing her fj.th year of Eng- lish. Poor girl, it doesn't look as if she ever will get through college. On this gloomy note, I bid Madam Iknowitall, farewell, and start- ed back to Mill Creek to tell my classmates what I had learned. I can hardly wait to find out if that little crystal ball knew what it was talking about. Oh well, I only have a short wait of about 30 years!
