Senior Class Prophecy Now if all will be quiet, And there's an end to the riot, A story will commence to begin That shan't stop till the end. When we were young teens We wore jeans and grew mean. For in order to exist, We had to use our fists. I guess all that meanness was not used in vain, For none of my friends are now using the cane. Why even Rick Dopler, a short mighty man, Is head of the janitors of American Bandstand. And you'd never believe that I once knew, Frances Johnston--the only mother of 32. Oh, yes, I guess I had better explain, That Johnston was her maiden name. Her friend Janet Pulse, who all thought nuts, Is now owner of a dog pound raising mutts. Wherever she goes she must always take Her mutts, her kids and her husband Jake. A guy that was in our class for only a year, Is now out in the world raising fear. That Dave Rice is really a villain And he keeps rolling that dice to make his millions. Another classmate that has made it to the top, Is the Sheridan Hotel's 81st floor bell hop. Yep, Rick Simmons lives a pretty easy life, At home he's got 7 kids and a chubby wife. I never thought LyNann Jacobs would ever fib, Why she swore up and down she'd not join women's lib. She gave up her boutique and all her money So she could protest and look funny. There is a nucleus in every cell, And I suppose ours was Terry Delzell. But now she's a doc and a mom of quintets, Which keeps her quite busy trying to stay out of debt. You 'll be amazed when I tell what happened to one. Of course he could be none other than Don Carlson. He bought himself a beauty salon for only females, And devotes all his time listening to women's ails. No one can ever forget Royce Heitmeier, Cause he was the class's biggest liar. , He's now in the army doing his thing, Taking X-rays and making slings. Oh, yes, you probably want to hear Of actor Tom Klaus and his mirror. He asked unto it who was the fairest of all And with it's answer he threw it at the wall. A girl who no one thought would fail Was none other than Beth Caldwell. She was so active one could not believe That now all she does is sit and weave. Kirk Heater was always on the go-- That could be why he now works with dough. Not with the dough the government makes, He works with the stuff that he can bake. Would you believe that Janice Caparoon Now works for a circus blowing up balloons? The kids follow her all over the place So when she blows they can watch her face. On all-star wrestling one can now see Tim J ohnson--who as a wrestler was meant to be Though he has the muscles he lacks the fat So his opponents aren't too scared on the mat. His mighty shoulders and big blue eyes Now help Roger Samuels model ties. The ugliest ones he can help sell Just because he models so well. In art, Teri Gabeline does quite a lot, Which is painting walls with tiny dots. It's rumored that she does quite well, But then one can't believe such far-out tales. Something that I just have to tell Is the vocation of Rhoda Delzell. She works for the few who have an income So you know an accountant she did become. Dave Pierce was always quite the singer As a mortician he's a humdinger. His parents are mighty proud and glad That their son has the job they once had. Sandra Stotlar, who all males see, Turned out to be a sexy secretary. She doesn't have to type or keep books Cause the boss hired her only for looks. Donna Evans can no where be seen For as a model she has grown lean. They say she's caught up with Howard Hughes And together they see very few. Running for governor on the ballot sheet Is Mark Keltner who all say can't be beat. He switched to Republican cause he saw Democrats can't win unless they break the law. Bob Richenberger went into a good field By growing potatoes that do not need peeled. The housewives adore him and call him saint And when they see him they go into a faint. The senior class included Teresa Heater Who now works in the city checking meters. She loves writing tickets to those who drive Fords Cause checking M. S. 's two meters makes her bored Everyone knows what happiness is worth And the possessor of it is Shirley Dearth. Millions flock to see her from around the world Cause they love to see old happy Shirl. Kevin Hall was always pretty busy. In fact, so busy he made most of us dizzy. One need not ask what he does now Cause I'1l tell you, he milks cows. Now since all have been quiet And you've not had a riot A story shall end That still has to begin.

History of the C1ass'of1972 Way back in 1959, the senior class of '72 boarded the bus for a 13-year journey together. There were ll girls and twenty-one boys, for a total of 32, going along for the ride. They were Beth Caldwell, Janice Caparoon, Joan Daniels, Terry Delzell, Rhoda Hostettor, Frances Johnston, Nancy Patton, Karen Stevens, Sandra Stotlar, Brenda Wolfe, Denise Woodruff, Joel Arthur, Tony Bryant, Robin Calvin, Ricky Dopler, Kevin Hall, Kirk Heater, Royce Heitmeier, Tim Johnson, Mark Keltner, Tom Klaus, Mike Knight, Lance McAllister, David Mehaffy, David Nollen, Leroy Pankey, David Pierce, Roger Samuels, Ricky Simmons, Dale Shuster, Jimmy Tackenburg, and Victor Taylor. We were all under the supervision of Mrs. Richers. Our first stop was first grade. There we were disciplined by Mrs. Beck. During this year we lost 3, who were Nancy Patton, Leroy Pankey, and Joel Arthur, and gained 5, Nancy Smith, Kenneth Hudson, Kenneth Knight, Robert Richenberger, and Billy Lacey. This made a total of 34 going on to Mrs. DeYarman. At this stop, we lost 3 more people, Brenda Wolfe, Tony Bryant, and Robin Calvin. But to take the place of those 3, we gained 4 more, Rhonda Murphy, Jean Wixom, Edward Wixom, and LyNann Jacobs. This left us with 13 girls and 21 boys for Mrs. Hetherington to handle. V It was during this part of our journey that, due to uncontrollable circumstances, we lost Joan Daniels, Nancy Smith, Mike Knight, Kenneth Hudson, and Kenny Knight. Laura Jones and Roy Cooper got on at this stop, but they left us before our next stop. With Miss Brown as our fourth grade teacher, we were on the right road to success. Here we gained Kathy Frazer, and Kenny Knight, fwho evidently decided to come back and try it againlj . Glenn Williams and Johnny Duncan also came to us then. This time though, we lost Mike Knight, Lance McAllister, and Edward Wixom. Fourth grade ended, and we drove on to fifth grade. Entering fifth grade we had 29 members for Mrs. Caldwell to take care of . But this seemed to be a bad year, because 5 students decided to leave us. They were Rhonda Murphy, Jean Wixom, Richard Reimers, who had joined us only that year, Victor Taylor, and Johnny Duncan. This left only 24 to carry on to the high school building. The first of our junior high experiences were really something. As we traveled on, we all realized the road was getting rougher. During the summer between fifth and sixth grades, we lost Karen Stevens, and Jim Tackenburg. This left only 22 students, but we did gain a few. Rick Calvin, Lynn Noble, and Nancy Courtney decided to join the group. But before the year was over, we lost Nancy Courtney, along with Kenny Knight and Billy Lacey. We entered the seventh grade with 24 students. The ride through seventh grade was rather dull since we never lost or gained anyone. Our next stop along the trip was at eighth grade. Here we gained 3 new passengers. They were Donna Evans, Janet Pulse, and Don Carlson. With the beginning of our first experience in high school, our journey was on it's last stage. This time we gained Dennis Mastin as a passenger and lost Dave Mehaffy, who was in a hurry to NASA to be a scientist. The year soon rolled by and our next stop was tenth grade. That year We declined in number by losing Lynn Noble, Dale Shuster, Rick Calvin, and Dennis Mastin. We only had one new member board the bus and that was Teri Gabeline. Our junior year started with 23 members accounted for, but with only one more year, Dave Nollen decided to leave us. Our last and final stop of the trip was that of our senior year of high school. Three more passengers hopped aboard to finish the year out. They were Dave Rice, Teresa Heater, and Shirley Dearth. This made a grand total of 26 graduating in the class of '72. In all, 17 made the journey together all the way, and those of the senior class today are: Beth Caldwell, Janice Caparoon, Terry Delzell, Rhoda Delzell, Frances Johnston, Sandra Stotlar, Denise Woodruff, LyNann Jacobs, Donna Evans, Janet Pulse, Teri Gabeline, Shirley Dearth, Teresa Heater, Rick Dopler, Kevin Hall, Kirk Heater, Royce Heitmeier, Tim Johnson, Mark Keltner, Tom Klaus, Dave Pierce, Roger Samuels, Rick Simmons, Bob Richenberger, Dave Rice, and Don Carlson. Although we declined in num- ber since l959, we still have the same friendship and loyalty to one another that we started out with. .As for our last excursion together, we will soon be boarding the bus that will once again take us on a journey. Although the trip won't be quite as long, the memories of this final senior class trip will linger on in the minds of the class of '72 forever and a day.
