I Sf if I Sf F' X VCEJLXQQ VHLJTCJK On a rainy September day in the fall of l954,seventeen pupils en- rolled in the first grade of Mt. Cory Rural School. Nine members of that group have gone through all twelve years at Mt. Cory. They are: June Fritz, Nellie Steinman, Marilyn Steiner, Phyllis King, Eileen Steiner, Lorence Werner, Robert Bowersox, Chloette Wagner and Anna Mary Crow. During the summer of 1959, a great tragedy and sorrow came upon us in the bicycle accident and death of Ellen May Alspach, one of dear classmates. We have thought about her very much and missed during the school years. In the fall of l94l, itiated into high school. come true. Our officers Steiner, vice-president, year was made interesting we participated. We began our sophomore year twenty-five gangly, green freshmen were At last our dreams of becoming freshmen were: Albert by the our her in- had David Anderson, president, Marilyn McMann, secretary and treasurer. This parties and other activities in which by electing our officers. The results were: Lorence Werner, presidentg Robert Bowersox, vice-presidentg Chloette Wagner, secretary and treasurer. One important event was ordering of our the latter part ed us with our year. The junior decisions and the parties which we held during the rings, and what an exciting time when we received them of the year.Isabelle Stewart CWestD, our sponsor,help- the year was a busy one. On March 7, we gave our play, UWho Wouldn't Be Crazy?n We had a lot of fun in producing it with the help of Miss Obee. The proceeds were put in the treasury for future use. April 28, was chosen as the date for the junior-senior banquet. We spent several tedious hours planning for this event and it proved to be unusually successful. The officers for the year were: Nellie Steinman, president, Floyd Hartman, vice-presidentg Thelma Welty, sec- retary and treasurer. Our sponsor again was Isabelle Stewart CWestJ. Our senior year was the most outstanding of them all. We had been looking forward to this time since we were freshmen, and now at last we could consider ourselves twenty-five superior upper classmen. This was the year of many class meetings, and the first one was for the election of officers. They were: William Schafer, president: Eileen Steiner, vice-presidentg Dorothy Elzay, secretary, and Vivian Wagner, treasurer. 'On October 4, we motored to Tiffin to have our graduation pictures taken and later received them on December 22. Next, we elect- ed the annual staff and worked enthusiastically to produce the mas- terpiece. UMurder Mansionu was the title of our play which was given April 15. Selecting the invitations and name cards was another per- plexing problem. This year we were guests, rather than hosts, of the Junior-senior banquet, which was held April 27,in the school building. Baccalaureate was held May 15, and Commencement, May 17. May day was the last activity in which the seniors participated. Our May queen was Marilyn Steiner and Steiner was maid of The attendants were queen and her court This ended the taken from the class.

Eileen honor and David Anderson was first man of court. the was a May pole dance, folk dances and a pantomine. and they can look back at the school, saying ---- nThanks for the Memories.u

CLf SS PRQPHECY I boarded a famous excursion plane which was touring the world.We had just passed Singapore when our plane engine began to sputter, and we were forced to bail out. Much to my dismay I landed on a small, unknown island cluttered with palms and swamps. It was growing dusk, and I had started tramping through the soft mud,when I heard measured drum beats in the distance. This gave me new hopes, and every step seemed to fall more quickly. Finally, I saw through a clearing in the trees, a slight, mysterious man bent over a heep of palm leaves. As I approached, he looked up from his leaves and beckoned me to come near. He told fortunes, he said, by the use of the palm leaves, and he asked me if I would be interested, so I inquired into the present activities of the class with which I had graduated some ten years tefore. He picked up a huge palm leaf and asked me if we had a short, curly haired fellow in our class. I knew then it must be John Bracy.He was still hunting Ndearsu in Pennsylvania. He then mentioned a girl selling Avon Products in the great city of Moffit Station. June Fritz was still at the same job she started when she was in high school. Maybe the boss had something to do with ' v it. Dorothy Elzay is now a famous musician,singing for the Metropoli- tan Opera Co. Her voice is so well liked that you could plause for a block if it weren't for other noises. Before I had time to think over these things, he was garage'man, Jim Anderson. Jim was still trying to get his Wparn while he fixed other cars in his spare time. A new airplane took off from New York City with a hear the ap- telling of a nFordH up to woman pilot. Marilyn Steiner was testing her own invention. All you have to do to take off is to step on the starter, but landing. That's a cret! CP. S. She doesn't even know.l The native told me next of an all-girl's orchestra. military se- Thelma Welty had just finished getting the girls together for a real Njazznsession. William Schafer had taken over the Dukes' homestead and he is still raising all kinds of Nhybrids.W You have all read by now the best seller of l955, HNuts in a Nut Shell,W by Nellie Steinman. Never before in the history has a joke book become a best seller. Kathryn Peterson Huston's name rang out next.She had of the world just won the 310,000 prize for finishing the sentence, NWhy I like Swan.H This man told me of the owner of a ranch out in Wyomingg WPeteW was his name. Floyd Hartman could now give orders instead of taking them. CP. S. The cattle didn't seem to mind it, either.D Bent over a science table with one eye in a microscope was Phyllis King.She was still trying to discover if the Wloven bug really bites. The little man took time out to change leaves.5 But SOOH he WHS ready for action again and this time he told me of a girl -signing a contract with MGM. Who could it have been but Vivian Wagner. She had received recognition on Major Bowes' Amateur Hour for her toe dancing and fate was in the audience. The native then told me of a fellow just returning from Hawaii.He had been claims that he really found grass skirts and a romantic air. Next, this queer little man told me of a radio program on which Eileen Hartman recently had been given a medal. This famous award was for waking up the residentsiof Mt. 0ory.She even beat the roosters up. there on a record-breaking surf board trip. David Anderson S
