' v If I N,!.,Xeg.Xlt.ke. fl' IFJ ff. Q- .fl - X CLASS HISTORY w ln the fall of 1945, forty-two players of the Class of '49 lined up for the X opening tip-off of a four-quarter game at New Paris High School. They knew they had four hard quarters ahead in the game of high school. Miss Agnes Cripe was elected coach of this team of '49, Don Hoover was chosen as captain with Conrad Neff as co-captain. Betty Mishler was the scorekeeper with Marilyn Shannon as financial agent. A short, much-needed rest periodwas enjoyed at the high school in the form of a backwards party on December 4. Believe us when we say the party was well named. The whistle blew and the ga.me started agpin until an automatic timeout was called for Christmas vacation. We also had a short tirneout for a kid party on March 29, 1946. The first quarter ended with the following players having fouled out: John Bleskesley, Lois Flora, Richard Wagner, and Georgia Hite. 5 The whistle started the second quarter. Our team started with Marilyn 9 Shannon leading as captain, Ruby Clark as co-captain, Betty Mishler as score- keeper, and Roma Herrington as financial agent. New teammates were: Kime L Tahara, Richard White, and Doris Lehman. The game was interrupted two times, , , 5 once for a party at the scout cabin and once for one at the gym. Seven more of r . our teammates fouled out in this quarter. They were Billy Boyer, LeRoy Grabill, N Alice Miller, Kime Tahara, Mary Wharton, and Arlen Slabaugh. , The third quarter started with Don Hoover again leading our teaxng Mary Lou Stuckxnan was his co-captain, Betty Mishler again our scorekeeper, and Junior Beer. our financial agent. Mr. Anstead was chosen as an assistant coach to Miss Cripe. New members of our team were: Evelyn VanDiepenbos, Harold Miller, ' Q I John Haville, and Phyllis Reixnschisel. After a short scrimmage we called time- K A ,ZH out and held a box social in Betty Mishler's barn on October 16. It was one of the I 'P- J most successful class parties ever held at N. P. H. S. What other class ever V made money from a party? Bob Frenger was given some livestock besides. Mrs. V Herrington was appointed by the PTO as class mother to act as manager. We g . added more points to our goal by selling more magazines than had ever been sold ' before. We enjoyed another tfrneout at Geyer's Dam--the occasion being an ice- skating party on January 24. After this rest period we renewed the ga.me with vigor. Automatic timeout was called so we could have our Junior-Senior Recep- tion on April 23. Our theme was 'Starlite Garden . As speaker of the evening we had Rev. Conway from Bristol who gave bird calls in the moon light. Pat Miller, harpist from Goshen, furnished dinner music. After this quarter the following players fouled out: Richard White, Arthur Hunsburger, Harold Miller, John'I-Iavflle, and Phyllis Reimschisel. We rounded out this third quarter with , I' a play called 'Aunt Tillie Goes To Town . I The fourth and last quarter brought our players back on the floor thirty- , four strong ready for the last struggle in the game. Don Hoover as captain, S Conrad Neff as his co-captain, Betty Mishler as scorekeeper, and Junior Beer as financial agent, were our leaders. Mrs. George Neff was appointed as our ' class mother to act as manager. Mr. Hollar was chosen to take the place of Mr. Anstead as he too fouled out. As seniors we fought hard until timeout was called to give our senior play, 'Spooky Junction , on October l4 and 15. We re umed play until we retired to a rest period on January 1 for a New Years Party held at the high school. On January 8 our entire school was saddened by the untimely death ofCarl Blosser, one of our faithful teammates. To honor Carl we dedicated our annual to his memory. OnApril Z9 the Class of '50 entertained us at a banquet and reception. This gave us renewed strength to complete our year with another party, a senior trip, and baccalaureate services on May 1. On May 6 comrnence- ment, the final gun, pronounced us winners in the high school game, better pre- pared for the bigger game of life, which is 'Not Finished Just Begun .

Z 1 I I4 1 I 29 J, I 9 fi MY-7 rv PROPHECY FOR CLASS OF 1949 W'-511' Pm finally home from another day of school. I guess I'l'l read the local paper before I do anything else. Now where is that Farmer's Exchange? It surely came today. Oh, there it is and isn't that my old classmate, Ruby Clark, staring at me? Ruby Clark, cover girl for Farmer's Exchange. But still that lsn't so fantastic. Just yesterday I heard Willis Kohli, the unmarried rninister, deliver his fiftieth sermon. But Russell Vail's newly employed housewife, Elaine Ogle, told me that Willis is still being pursued by a blonde that was a freshman when we were seniors. When I made my last visit to Chicago to see Marilyn Shannon's professional basketball tearn, the Tow Heads, defeat the Harlem Globe Trotters, I noticed Vir- ginia Schroeder on the South Shore Line. I asked her what she was doing and she informed me that she was a brakeman on the South Shore. Imagine. I asked her about Doris Lehman and what she was doing now. She told me that Doris was still keeping up the morale of the bachelors lnNew Paris who stop at Lehman's occasion- ally. lt says here that Betty Mlshler has just received the national lady's typist championship award, partially due to her experience in the office of N. P. H. S. Oh, here's an article about the wedding I attended Sunday. Did you know that Waneta Jones finally convinced Maro Myers that there's a Ford in his future? Among 'the guests present were Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Dbwty. Yesterday in church I talked with Mrs. Dowty, the former Jean Moneyheffer. She is busy rearing Ver- non, Ir. and still trying to bring up Vernon, Sr. I guess that Mary Lou Stuckman is a lifelong employee at Smokers. Right now she's working on a mural there amid the patter of the tiny feet of William and Edward, Ir. Bill Smoker, 'the peop1e's choice , is passing out second-handed Dewey buttons following the Republican landslide of 1928. Here are some articles on other 49'ers. Roma Herrington has settled near Houston, Texas, where she is working as a chemist in a petroleum laboratoryf She always did have an attraction for Texas. Otto Beer, Ir. is a bee keeper on road I6 and still trying to collect I-Ioney . Dick Dunlap is finally a professional photo- grapher after many years of study, and as usual he's making good use of his dark room. Joan Paugh is acting as nurse-maid for her seventeen nieces and nephews. In the local news it mentions that Phyllis Hower has assumed Miss Elliott's task of teaching Public Speaking at New Paris High School. lt also says that LeRoy Frye has just received a professorship at Purdue University. fI've been told that he received it on his merits of forgetfulness.j Janet Weaver is working for House of Harter. She has recently created a new design for the Eberfeld school sweater. Here is an announcement stating that Paul I-Ielrnan has a program of his own on N. B. C. He's doing a little crooning for Ivory Flakes. Here's a headline con- cerning another local boy who is making good. Don Hoover is serving in his usual capacity as president of his class only now it's at Vassar. Donnabelle Lantz is living in Goshen. She's added the second ring to her finger since 1949 and is raising little Sticks . Here I am in the advertising section of the Farmer's Exchange. I have a couple of minutes so I'1l read a few. Listen to this: 'Visit our magnificent Terrace Room in Hotel New Paris. The hotel with 150 rooms and 150 baths. We are now featuring the special attraction of Gene Neff, the famed movie star who has just completed another Tarzan picture. A recently added service of our fine hotel is the daily sight-seeing tour of New Paris, conducted by Conrad Neff. For luxurious living, visit Hotel New Paris owned and managed by Bill Tarman. I-Iere's another ad about a member of the class of '49, Bob Frenger wants to rent a farm near Bremen. He certainly is exact about the location. Nola Jean Morehouse must be a dress designer because here is her slogan, 'The designer of clothes for the wee tots of Bethany . Irmyn Jackson is running a convalescent home for overworked Economics students. She should make quite a profit from that enterprise. I could use a little relaxation myself. Do you remember how Phyllis Juday always enjoyed helping other people? Isee she is now managing a matrixnonial bureau. Arthur Gall is advertising his huge dairy farm south of New Paris. He's very careful to whom he sells his products, so naturally they go to the New ParisCreamery. Could he have been influenced by his father-in-law? Evelyn VanDiepenbos is now a professional paper carrier after many years of spills from her bicycle. Why is that buzzer ringing? Oh, I must have spent another sixth period dreaming. But I do wonder how much of my dream will be true in 1959? Baa all u. .QCEL , Aga PAHISIAN ,2- a,. J e gigp J If K I , ,X V ,I it X . kgs. X. x. X g X ills . N Y,-L s s
