IANTRIA CUSTODIAN BILL PAGE PRESENTING THE SENIOR CLASS CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1951� forty-five mischievious young'ins entered the front doors of Mill Creek School to start their first day of class. Under the guidance and direction of Mrs. Thelma Wolfe, we learned our ABC's and numbers. The second year Mrs. Ruth Kehr had to cope with forty- five little, eager to learn minds. In third grade, Mrs. Dorthy Dunne had more problems than had the teachers before her since our enrollment had reached forty-seven. Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth grades were Just ordinary school years. Our teachers were Mrs. Gustafson, Mrs. Hunt, and Mr. Earton respectively. Seventh grade finally arrived, and we began to consider ourselves quite grown up. This seemed like a different world for we had to walk from class to class and were instructed by a different teacher for each class. Eighth grade presented a new teacher, Mr. Micheals, as our sponsor. By then our enrollment had dropped. In the seventh grade we had forty, but this showed a decline of six students bringing the enrollment down to thirty-four. Our Freshman year passed by swiftly for we began to dream of graduation. Mr. Marker was appointed to keep tags on twenty-nine frisky freshmen. Our Sophomore year was exciting because it was this year that we took driver's training and added a few gray hairs to the head of our instructor, Jack Eller. Although we were only Sophomores, we felt a little more advanced for now, to one class, we were upper classmen. Our Junior year was probably the most exciting year of all. The year was highlighted first by the ordering of our long awaited class rings, and then our Junior Play, ■THE GREEN VINE , was presented. Each person in the class played an important and active part in the play whether they were on the stage or off stage. Our prom, THE LOV- LIEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR , was held at the Spaulding Hotel in Michigan City on May 12, 1962. Each person including our sponsor, Mrs. Yarno, played an important role in pre- paring this lovely prom. SENIORS at last—finally we have reached our goal. Soon we will become the newest members of the Mill Creek Alumni Association. This year we have 19 members left. These 19 are under the guidance of Mr. Spoerner. Mr. King, along with some of the other teachers, are helping us to decide on our vocations. JACK ANTHONY SCIAEA ■Study as 17 you were to live forever.

Since television has played such an Important role In our dally lives, we have pro- phesied our careers to center around this vast field of enter- tainment and education. The show Is about to begin so sit back and relax, prop up your feet, and get ready for a big surprise??????? The following programs are seen on station MCHS, Channel 63� DING BONG SCHOOL Leta Blankenship who thoroughly believes In educational television stars In this show for the younger set. Tune In and hear Leta ask: Herman, please define the word spine. Herraan-- The spine Is a long, limber bone. Your head sits on one end, and you sit on the other. I'VE GOT A SECRET I've got a secret starring Donna Jones????????????????????? Oops!! I've made a mistake; It's TELL ME YOUR SECRETS. Tune In today and find out If Annette Is really In love with the milk- man. SAIL ALONG WITH MOUSE Loretta dray seemed to have trouble the first few months with being sea-sick, but now that she has finally overcome this, everything Is fine. She always said she wanted to see the world. I guess this Is a good way-----but under water?????????????????? DOCTOR KILLJACK — starring Jack Sclara. Tune In to hear this dialogue: NURSE: What Is It Doctor????? Dr. Kllljack: I don't know, but give me a knife, and I'll cut It out. THE NURSE Ann Blanda stars In this dramatic show. Tune In to hear nurse Ann ask: What type of stitch, doctor: basting or per- manent stitching? She was always fussy about her sewing. THE ROARING 60'S This tells of the wild happenings In the life of Gerald Wolff during the 60's. His carefree college years (and I mean carefree), and his many friends and happenings all add up to a world of merriment. Then In the 70's, he settles down as a pro- minent lawyer. At least for a while, he lived up to his last name. THE WHIRLEYBIRD — starring Larry LeRoy and his bird. Larry and his whlrleyblrd fly from station to station to keep you up on the latest. His last report was: The British are coming! THE UNTOUCHABLE Keith McMahon portrays Elliot Press, the detective. As the title suggests, whenever danger Is near; Press Is not to be found. Now I can see why Chicago still has gangsters. HIGHWAY TO THE SKY — starring Pat Spence and David Kautz. This Is an entertaining story of two draftsmen at work. They have designed many space ships. Infact, they are the lead- ing designers. The only trouble Is that they can't get anyone to manufacture their products. ARMLONG OBLONG THEATER — starring Larry Long. It Is a long story when detective Larry Long searches for the Oblong Gang In Longbeach, California. GENE 0 AND WEED 5 GARAGE There goes a poor unsuspecting motorist; he doesn't know what he's In for. It seems his car won't run so Gene'o and Larry get to work on It. Seven hours later they still can't find anything wrong, but the car won't run. The bill adds up to $75. The trouble was In the gas tank; It was empty. IT'S A POET'S WORLD — starring Linda Perry. This Is a program for those who enjoy the arts (Linkletter, Carney). Tune In to hear a panelist ask: Why do they call this free verse? Miss Perry— That's simple; did you ever try to sell It? THE CHICAGOAN Linda Rohlflng who stars In this program Is a predominant speech teacher. In high school she always had a hard time keep- ing quiet; this Is a good occupation for her. Her former English teacher would be glad to hear that all the people In Chicago talk as she does. DENNIS THE MENACE — starring Dennis Ford. Dennis has decided to become a scientist and has Invented his own rocketshlp. The fireworks begin when Dennis launches his ship and It lands In Mr. Wilson's house. Mr. Wilson Is played by Don Spoerner???????????? CAR 63 WHERE ARE YOU This Is a story of a cop named Bill Sawyer. He Is the only cop who has a police record which Is longer than the crooks he captures. Although he has been In his share of mischief, he always talks his way out of It Just as he did In high school. THE ljTH HOUR — starring Suzanne Blanda. Tonight s show tells of the heartbreaking cases of the mentally 111 who come to psychologist Suzanne K. Blanda. She Is thoroughly convinced that If a person changes from mood to mood and personality to personality, he Is on his way to mental Ill- ness. I wonder how she escaped!!!! THE BEST OF SCOTT This revised program starring MC'S Bob Scott Is now a teen- age favorite. Say the secret word and win last year's sub- scription to Hot Rod Magazine. Last week's word was drag race . CLASS POEM Someday we'll sit back and remember To all the days gone by In our hearts it's embedded Our dear old Mill Creek High. We had our snare of troubles But we had to see things through It's hard to give up on something You try so hard to do.
