Senior Class History Continued from page 6 Crosmung Secretary, Dorothy Pawhutskyg Treas- urer, Lois Kiddg Historian, Wanda O'Harag our home room teacher was Miss Nairn. As can be easily guessed, this year was our busiest. The first activity was a Square Dance in honor of the fresh- man class. In October the entire class set out for ads for the yearbook. Divided into five parts, we covered several nearby towns, we were very suc- cessful. On October 16, we all went to Johnstown to have graduation pictures taken. Several times the first semester, our peaceful schedule was in- terrupted by our photographer, Mr. Cover, taking pictures for the yearbook. Our schedule then con- tinued regularly till the last month of school. Then it was hard to keep our minds on our work. Why? Those final examinations coming up. The May Festival, practicing for Baccalaureate and Commencement. And then class day! Everyone in a corner with a '51 yearbook getting autographs and name cards. No! that isn't all. After all our worries were over, we were honored with an educational trip to Washintgon, D. C. where we visited many different points of interest.'Now as the class separated, each entering different voca- tions, we always in our hearts will cherish the good old days at Montgomery High.

She said she was goingg and, as my plane wouldn't be leaving for awhile, I went along with her. As we entered the ball park, we noticed Lynn Hadden in an Army uniform with quite a few medals. He later explained he had joined the Army right after graduation from high school and was now a captain. Soon the game started and as we watched the pitcher walk to the mound, we all gave him a clap and the game began. Don was a fine pitcher and they won, 2-0. Lynn, Mary joy, and I walked down to congratulate Don and soon Dan came along too. He had made a home run in the second inning by hitting the longest ball in the Pirates' history, 500 feet. They were rapidly surrounded by cameramen and newspaper reporters. We noticed one of the photographers in particular and found him to be Bob Stiver. I just said a couple of words to each and had to hurry to get my plane, as I only had 15 minutes left. l arrived there just in time to board the plane. I glanced up at the pilot to see Gail Bartlebaugh. She said she had a regular route from Indiana to Pittsburgh and enjoyed it very much. As I was sitting down I looked around and saw Edward Deyarmin, who told me he played for the Pitts- bu-rgh Steelers and that he was returning home for a few days vacation. Then I settled back and thought about how lucky I was to be meeting all my old pals. We arrived in Indiana and I stopped in at a restaurant to get something to eat. I was scarcely seated before the waitress came to get my order. Who was she? Kathryn Walker! Of course she is now Mrs. Clarence Spotts. I also learned that jane Goss owned a ranch in Texas and had about 50 race horses. Stanley Grifhth was her handy man, and one she was glad to have. Kathryn told me to notice the cashier when I paid my bill. lt was none other than Betty Voytus. I talked with her awhile and she told me to stop over at the hospital to see joy Bennett who was superintendent of nurses. As I entered the hospital I happened to bump into Albert Rairigh carrying a corpse. We exchanged greetings and I was no more down the hall when along came Mary Biroscak, now Mrs. Abe Sahm. She proudly showed me her baby and said she was just released from the hospital. When I mentioned seeing Albert, Mary said, Yer, Continued on page 56

Class Prophecy Continued from page 55 be ir an undeftaker with his father. She told me that jane Cook was married to john Elling and that they were the proud parents of twin boys. As I stepped into the elevator the nurse said Going up? The voice sounded familiar so I moved around till I caught a glimpse of her face. It was joy Bennett. She said she would take me on up to see jane. jane, joy and I talked about all the news and the people I had seen for an hour before I left the hospital. I discovered that I had run out of traveler's checks, so I thought I would go to the bank to get some more. I went to the traveler's exchange, looked up, and there was Goldie Pearce, ready to wait on me. She said she was doing secretarial work and liked it a lot. From there I went to the bus station where I still had a half hour wait. I started to play some records and noticed the old tune I Love You Beware by Joyce Buchanan and Bill Rummell on the juke box. I cplayed the record and sure enough it was Joyce an Bill. They were down in Wheel- ing, West Virginia and had become famous hill- billy singers, I was told by Ellen Penning whom I met on the bus home. I noticed Ellen was a Wave and she told me she was a secretary in Florida for an ofhcer in the Navy. As Ellen and I arrived in Arcadia, we decided to go up and see how our old school looked. As we passed the Presbyterian Church, we noticed they were having a service, so we stopped in and were certainly surprised to find that Howard fBakej Foster was a famous preacher. And he was preaching on the subject of Hlntoximting Beverage: and Itr Con.requenrer. It was soon over and Bake came back to talk to us. He told us that the reason the school was li-t up was that it was P.T.A. night. As we stopped in we took a seat near Patty Falisec and she told us she had been married seven years. She had a little girl in first grade. After the P.T.A. meeting we walked in -to see the Home Ec. room. And there behind the desk sat joy Crosmun who had been teacher of Home Ec. in Montgomery Township for six years. just then, in walked Lois Kidd and Stanley Dudek. Lois was teacher in the music de- partment and had a band consisting of 46 pieces. Stanley was the science teacher and head coach. He told me he had a great team on the football squad. As we were sitting around, in walked Wanda O'Harrah, as pretty as ever. She was cer- tainly surprised to see us and hear about the rest of the class. As it was getting late, Wanda offered to take us to meet her husband and children. As we left the building we stood for a couple of minutes reminiscing in silence the grand times we had in Montgomery High. THE 1951 BEACON - 56
