In witness whereof, we the Senior Class of 1950, have set our hand and seal hereto this tenth day of February, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty, 119503. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1950 CLASS PPIUPHECY Fifteen years have gone by and to my surprise, I find myself dreaming of the great times I used to have at Monmouth High. Often I long to see some of my former classmates, cspecially, when I leaf through the pages of thc 1950 Eagle. I decided to take a four months vacation from my office where I was employed as a private secretary in a law office in Key West, Florida. So I packed my luggage and started ogi my journey. As I drove down the highway in my new convertible, I passed over the Georgia state line and to my great astonishment, my car sputtered and stopped, I was out of gas. It just so happened that I stopped at a large cot- ton plantation and whom did I spy, Ferd Sel- king. Ferd filled my car with gasoline. As he was busily doing this he told me that he had seen Roland at the Cottonbowl game last week. He told me that Roland was living in Louisville, Kentucky, so I journeyed off to Kentucky. Here, I found Roland and his wife, Eldora, busily playing with their two daugh- ters. He said that he was the owner of a used car lot. All tliree of us sat down and discuss- cd some of t'ie others who were in our class. While I was driving through Lafayette, I noticed a blond young lady cross the street. In fact, I just about ran over her. I later saw her in a restaurant. The lady was our jolly Marlene Aumann. She invited me to spend the nigltt with her. She told me that she was very happy. Her husband was the coach at Purdue, and they now had their own team of five sons. After leaving Marlene, I decided to visit Fort Wayne. As I was looking through the News I noticed that the famous Zollner Pis- tons were playing that evening, so I decided to attend the game. As the game was on, I noticed a tall handsome man playing center. After the game, I found out that it was Willis Conrad. The next day I spoke to Willis and he told me that he was enjoying his career very much. He also told me where I could find some of my other classmates. The following day, I left Fort Wayne with happy memories. In the distance I noticed the great Notre Dame. Suddenly I remembered that Willis told me that Jim was the coach at the college. That evening I spent with Jim and his wife. They were doing fine and Jim's team was super just as ours was in 50 . I had plann- ed to stay longer but their seven children were driving me batty. As I was driving down the highway to go to Grand Rapids, I passed a beautiful farm. Children were playing out in the yard so I stopped to talk with them. It was noon and time for dinner. The children's mother stepped out of the door and called them. Their mother was Mrs. Norm Ostermeyer, the former Max- ine Gallmeyer, who invited me to stay for dinner. I enjoyed my visit with her very much. Early the next morning I drove to Grand Rapids where Ruth Sheets met me at the sta- tion, as I was to go to her house. She lived in a lovely home. Charlie and Ruth now had eight little pillowcases. When I was ready to leave, Ruth told me that I should be on the lookout for Kenny Singleton because it was reported that he was seen in that territory. I had driven just a few miles when I noticed a dark-haired man. It was Kenny all right. He was a great man. He was the Super- intendent of the State Highways. Even though he was a great man, it didn't keep him home all the time, for he still made his annual trips to New York on business ????? Kenny told me that he had seen LaRae and Jack as they were returning from a motor trip to the West. She was living in Corry, Pennsylvania. So I de- cided to visit her. She and Jack now owned a trucking line, called the Fisher Fishing Line. I.aRae sometimes drove the semi while Jack was the baby sitter. I drove happily along and in the distance I saw the beautiful Capitol of the United States. Oh, yes, Max Andrews was a states- man in Washington. I met Max the next after- noon and he told me that he was going to give a great speech on Republican elections. It seemed that some Democrats were throwing tomatoes at him. However, Max still knew his politics and enjoyed every minute of it. Max told me that Barbara Kelley was a teacher at Yale, so I journeyed off to see Barb. I met Barb at the Campus Club and we had lunch together. She told me that she was teaching mathematics and that she was engaged to afine man. I invited Barb to have lunch with me at the Stork Club the next day. Here to our great surprise we met Joan Bultemeier. She was a secretary in New York City. Her office was on the fourteenth floor of the Empire State Building. She was engaged to a boy from her home state. Joan invited us to have dinner with her at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. As we sat there eating, we heard the enchanting music of the Wayne King orchestra featuring Miss Evelyn Macke at the piano. After the show we went back-stage to speak to Evelyn. She told us that she was going to appear in the great movie production, Music for Mill- ions, soon to be shown in Montpelier, Ver- mont. I recall the beginning of her career. While she was a Junior in Monmouth she played the piano for our Junior play, Silas Smidge from Turnip Ridge. Joan and Barb were unable to attend the show in Vermont, so I left on Tuesday, heading for the eastern state. As I walked down the main street in Montpelier, I saw a large office building and to my great amazement, I saw the name of Floyd Ehlerding, President, written in bold letters on one of the doors. I stopped to see him. He had a new car. It was a Buick. He was still the same Floyd, always moaning and groaning over his bookkeeping problems. After spending several days in Vermont, I left the United States and went to Canada. I stopped along the road to take some moving pictures. As I was taking the pictures, a rider CContinued on next pagel Page CLASS PHUPHECY ' approached. He was a member of the Royal Mounted Police. The rider turned out to be the handsome Bob Fuhrman. He told about his experiences on the plains and in the mountains of Canada. Later I met him in the city and he showed me the headquarters of the Mounties. While there, a group of Mounties brought a man in on charges of speeding, and who could this man be, none other than Alton Christianer. Yes, I remembered him, he was the boy who teased us girls on the bus. Alton claimed that he was chasing a pretty girl Cblond of courseb. I got him out of jail because he was a class- mate of mine. Later, the three of us spent the evening at the Rendevor Country Club. Bob told me to visit Loren Gerber who was the main photographer for the Powers models. He was located in Chicago. I went to his office but he was in Atlantic City taking snaps of the bathing beauties. His secretary told me that Loren enjoyed his job very much. I then headed for Minnesota. Bill Brent- linger was a minister in Minnesota. He had a lovely wife. Bill had started his own congre- gation and his children formed the choir. Bill happened to tell me that Joan Fuelling was living in St. Louis. So I decided to visit her. Before going to see Joan, I took the road that led to South Dakota. I stopped at a gas station. It was called the Circle Station. Char- lie was not there but one of the men who was working for him, told me that Charlie was do- ing fine and that he sold fifteen different kinds of gasoline. Then I went to St. Louis to see Joan. She lived in a lovely home. Joan and her husband were the owners of the Glass plant. They had four lovely children. They were taught by tutors. Joan and I discussed the good old times we used to have, especially at those Hpajama parties. Joan told me that Dorothy Oetting was the head of a Women's College in Denver. I arrived in Denver late on Thursday af- ternoon. I found Dorothy enjoying herself in a game of tennis. She was playing tennis with her financee who was an Admiral in the Navy. Dorothy was still the same, witty as ever. While talking to her, we discussed Gene and Irene. They were married of course, and lived in Idaho on a potato ranch. I arrived in Idaho several days later and I found them very happy indeed. They gave the regular square dances on their ranch, so I stayed for the Saturday night hop, and I must say I enjoyed myself very much. Gene still could swing the girls. Irene told me that Lorene was living in California with her husband. They owned a restaurant where all the movie stars dined. Lorene was doing fine, and she was known all over the world for her famous oyster stew. She told me that Mildred Nuerge was a dancer in Hawaii. Suddenly, I thought since I had one more month to spend anywhere. I might as well visit Mildred. I boarded the U. S. S. America. After a short time aboard, I noticed a handsome Colonel and his wife dining. I paused for a moment! Could that man be Norman Wolfe? Yes, it was! I spoke to Norm and he told me that he was on his way to the South Seas. I don't recall the name of the island to which he was going. On Saturday evening we arrived in Hon- olulu. I stayed at the Great Royal Hawaiian Hotel. In the evening while I was dining, I heard dreamy Hawaiian music drifting into me from across the bay. I went out and mo- tioned for a taxi. The taxi drove me to the place from which the music was coming. HereI saw an Hawaiian dancer. It was Mildred. Dur- ing the evening I spoke to her a great deal and she told me that she had made dancing her career. She was married to a fine man. Ispent one week with her enjoying the beauties of Hawaii. The time was drawing nigh so I had to return home to resume my responsibilities in the office. When I left, I told Mildred that I hoped she would stay as happy all of her life as she had been when I visited her. As I was on the ship returning home, I remembered the wonderful time I had visiting my former classmates. I was very glad to have seen them all well and happy. It was all like a dream seeing their smiling faces. Long will I remember the wonderful times we had in good old Monmouth High School.

OFFICERS Mrs. Carl Hurst, Secretary, Mrs. Omer Merriman, President, Mrs. Truman Goldner, Vice-Presidentg Mr. Thurman Drew, Treasurer. P. T. . A little over three and a half years ago, the Monmouth P. T. A. was born. The organization meeting was held in the school assembly room with just a handful of persons present, but the enthusiasm and willingness to start such a group ran high. As a result, under the supervision of several members from an Allen County chapter, our P. T. A. received its state charter. It has been said that one must crawl before one can walk , and this was certainly true during the first year of our P. T. A. Our president, Mrs. Leo Kirsch, attended several work shop schools to learn some of the duties and fundamentals of an infant organization. Mrs. Kirsch also attended the state P. T. A. convention held just two months after the first organization meeting. To have our active, running organization, some means of finance must be worked out. As a result, we have planned such programs as a donkey basketball game, an ice cream social, the annual Fall Festival, and the February pot-luck supper designed to honor those students who merit praise scholastically, and in the field of athletics. All these events have been well attended and have served in an excellent way to bring about friendliness and hospitality in our community. In addition, we have been able with our funds to purchase two coffee urns for the school, playground equipment, and with the school, visual aid equipment in the form of movie projectors. Many fine programs have also been brought to our school through the efforts of the P. T. A. These programs have served to knit a closer bond between the parent, teacher, and child, and this bond is the basic principle of the P. T. A. ANe Our band made its first public appearance this year on the Farmers' Institute program. The musical numbers were well received and many favorable comments were heard. The band has made remarkable progress under the patient tutelage of Mr. Hickman. With the splendid co- operation of the parents and the determination of the students, Monmouth High will have a band of which we will all be proud.

The portrayal of the characters and the interpretation of the customs and manners of the Custers were well received by the audience. During the Junior year, the class presented the play, Silas Smidge from Tur- nip Ridge. It, too, was directed by Mr. Robinson. The well-chosen cast presented its characterization in the best of style. THE BH THM AN The Rhythm Band which is composed of the pupils of the first and second grades was trained under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. Owens. The band took an active part in the Christmas school program which Was sponsored by the P. T. A. It also presented several selections for the sectional meeting of the pri- mary teachers of the Northeastern Teachers' Institute which was held in Fort Wayne, January 21. Row 1 Who won?

How these rooms are filled with mem'ries, Mem'ries now so sweet and dear, How these empty Walls re-echo, Bringing footsteps soft and near. Now we leave these halls of learning, Leave to come again no moreg Now we leave familiar places, Yearning for the years now o'er. May we keep these years forever, May they linger, not departg May these years at Monmouth High School Live forever in our heart. SERVICE, SAVINGS and SECURITY DON H.

The students com- ing to our class rooms arc representatives from Preble, Root, and Union townships. What is it that has steadily increased Monmouth's enrollment? What is it that has attracted pupils to Monmouth from other townships? Could it be the good will of our many patrons? Could it be the display of our American democratic school spirit always in evidence at Monmouth? We appreciate these qualities along with the cooperation of our neighboring school units. No words can speak The honor, the praise Deserving their sacrifices, Their unselfish ways.
