Our first class party was held in the gym November 13. The class was entertained by the Vances at dinner on February 23. Any of the seniors will be willing to vouch for Mrs. Vance's ability to cook. Cokes and mints finished up a very pleasant evening. The senior trip was a jaunt to Detroit for two event-filled days, April 18th and 19th. The class had rooms in the Statler Hotel for the night. Next came the reception for which the seniors say Thank you to the juniors. The reception was held May 2 at Elkhart. The Baccalaureate held Sunday afternoon, May 18, was the next activity of the senior class. Our class night program tonight leaves us with but one exercise left to do in M.H.S, and that is the one that all of us have long looked' forward to -- Commencement. It will be held May 21.

CLASS PROPHECY ln the spring of 1962, a gypsy caravan was rolling north to Indiana. Glen, my husband, and I were in that caravan. As the rolling plains of Indiana came into view, memories began run- ning through my mind. Suddenly I turned to Glen and exclaimed, Why not go back and visit Millersburg? Needless to say, Glen agreed and we were on our way. As we approached Millersburg, we were both startled - gone was the fire trap where we had gone to school. In its place stood a new modern building that far surpassed any others of Northern Indiana. School had just dismissed as we hurried to the principal's office. A tenor voice instructed us to come in. My husband and I looked at each other, where had we heard that voice before? We soon found out for as we stepped inside the of- fice, there sat Carlysle Chiddister behind a big oak desk. After we had exchanged greetings with our former classmate, he took us on a tour of the school. Gone were the old school and all its memories. All we could see were rooms filled with smooth, neat desks. l wondered what had happened to the old desks with all our classmates' initials on them. How l longed for the old school back! After saying good-bye to Carlysle, we went out to our wagon. We had seen Millersburg again. Silently, except for the creak of the wheels, we drove along a nearby country road. As we went around a jog in the road, we came to a farm with the name John Thomas painted on the barn. No sooner had lnoticed the name on the barn when I saw a young woman leaving the chicken house carrying a basket of eggs. Now who do you suppose this woman was? You guessed it! The former Janice Rohrer. Re- cognizing Janice, we stopped to visit. From them, we learned that Rose Ann Troyer had married Glen Showalter and they were doing a thriving business on a large chicken farm near Elkhart. John also informed us that Bud Kurtz was No. 1 cowboy singer on the hit parade. Shot Gun Boogie was his most popular song. Over a million of his records had been sold. John knew most of the news. He told us that Louise Smith was now manager at Newberry's 5 85 10 in Goshen. There had even been talk of promoting her to district manager.
