It is the year 1971 and a member of the 1948 graduating class of North Webster High School has made one of the most important discoveries of the ages. John Weimer, the great physicist, has discovered a way to communicate with another universe. Since the discovery of the Atomic Bomb in 1945, people had gotten in touch with the moon and other planets, so that now we had a planetary civilization. Dr. Weimer had been invited to make his announcement of the great discovery before all the other planetary presidents by John Frisinger, who was elected President of the Earth in 1968. John Weimer has five days to get the '48 graduating class together. Since he does not want to give his information to the Earth and other planets until the day of the reunion of the graduating class, he has solicited the services of the F. B. I. in getting the members of the class together. Much to his surprise, he discovered that Jack Dietrich, Wayne Freshour, Donald Cretcher, and Joe Kruger are all members of the F. B. I. He knew then that he had nothing to worry about, for these 4 super-sleuths would take care of getting the class together. The 4 great Sherlocks rush to their local airport where they take off for their nearest Atomic Airline. As they are ushered to their seats, luck seems to be with them, for the attractive hostess, Doris Jean Gaff, was a member of the graduating class. Reaching the Atomic Airline, the 4 sleuths are off on a trip to the other planets. Dietrich, being inquisitive, steps up to ask the pilot how many minutes the trip will take and finds another member of the class. None other than the “Flying Ace of the Atomic Airline , Ronald Zulick. Stopping at Mars in the hope of picking up some clues, they meet the editor of the Marstonan News, Joanne Lister, who directs them to a mammoth drugstore. Here they find the greatest living pharmacist of the entire planet, Dick Culberson, and his wife, who was the former Rose Mary McMahan, and who was very busy taking care of the twins. With seventeen members yet to be found, the four detectives continue on their journey to the Planet Jupiter. Here they decide to do a little research of their own and find themselves in the “Locke Conservatory of Music.” (Named, of course, for the greatest musician of all time, Mary Alice Locke.) Wandering through a beautiful park, they come upon a honeymoon couple, who turns out to be none other than Elmo Engle and the former Peggy Kernodle. Chartering the One Minute rocket ship they start a short excursion to some of the other planets. First stop—Saturn. Here they find George Warble rushing from one employment agency to another still looking for a job that doesn’t take any work. They also find “The Saturonian-Van Curen Shoppe , a very fashionable dress shop owned by Miss Lorita Van Curen. Flash Flash:’. A radargram from Earth states that President Frisinger has appointed 2 new cabinet members—Secretary of State: Joe Martin and Secretary of the Treasury: Dick Shock and 2 new personal secretaries: Wilma Dean Nonemaker and Mae Stump. The sleuths learn from that great master mind of information Carleton Leek, that Rosalys Buckles is a great actress back on Earth and is the sensation of Paris. Coming home through the ionosphere, stratosphere, and atmosphere they see that great atomic stunt flyer, Edwin Grieder, cutting all sorts of capers, while mortician Jack Stump stands by with his atomic ambulance waiting for business to pick up. There was no difficulty for them to locate Zelma Banning, for everyone knew she was head of the Government Department at Harvard College. Class Prophecy - Continued. . It took a little time to locate Harry Mier, who was captain of the ship which was searching the Antartic for new minerals. Everyone knew Herbert Weaver, the great engineer, who had drawn the plans for the great underground compressed air system by which trains were shot around the world in two minutes. As the sleuths went to make a phone call to Dr. Weimer, they discovered the telephone operator to be Kathryn Gaerte, the plantary telephone operator, who can get in touch with every planet at a moments notice. This ended their search for the members of the class. With the class finally gathered, Professor Weimer comes forward and makes his announcement about being able to get in touch with another universe. The class members feel very proud that Dr. Weimer was a member of their class. Each one begins to think how this important news will change his life and the entire universe in which he lives. CLASS HISTORY The Class of '48 started out as green Freshmen (and boy, were we green) with 28 members. When we advanced into the Sophomore year we had gained 4 members, namely: Kathryn Gaerte from Columbia City; Wayne Freshour from Pierceton; Joann Lister from Chicago and Carleton Leek from Wolf Lake, and lost 3 members, Gerald Mock; Dean Farris and Doris Coverstone. In the Junior year Jack Dietrich from Ukiah, California,; Jack Stump from Wolf Lake; Zelma Banning from Fort Wayne, and Harold Barwich from Syracuse came to us, and Delores Dishman; Viola Knapp; Joann Moore and Santford McClellan left us for other schools. When we started as sophisticated Seniors we had 29 members as a result of Dick Culberson from Eaton, Indiana, and Joe Kruger from Seymour, Indiana, joining our little band and Phil Scott leaving us. During the year Ronald Zulick, Harold Barwick and George Warble also left.

MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB Music Appreciation Club is composed of band and chorus members who want to increase their knowledge of music literature. Just organized this semester, the work included analysis of hymns, folk songs, recognition of voice types and great songs sung by great singers to illustrate the voices. Projects were an observation of a symphony orchestra practice at North Manchester College and seeing an opera in Chicago. Members of the club ushered and decorated the stage for music programs. MIXED CHORUS Peg Stub MAJORETTES Carole Nancy Marietta NORTH WEBSTER BAND THE TRAVELERS The Social Science Club was started in January 1948, by Mr. John Caskey. It was named THE TRAVELERS which was to signify that the members travel to see the historical spots of Indiana. The objects of this club are to add improvements to our community and get a better understanding of social science and events of History thru study and travel. Meetings are held every two weeks on Tuesday evenings. There are 20 members of this club. The club hopes to grow more next year. The officers are as follows: President, John Weimer; Vice-President, Joan Overmeyer; Secretary, and Treasurer, Janie Frisinger; Judicial Committee, John Weimer, Pat Weimer, Phil Payne, Club Reporter, Joan Overmeyer.

Joan Overmeyer Club Reporter YEARBOOK STAFF The Yearbook Staff, as pictured on the page before, worked very hard. As most of you know, it was sponsored by the senior class and so, of course, the staff was composed of seniors. We think we have done a fairly good job and have started something new in this school. We sure hope the future senior classes also sponsor a yearbook. We enjoyed doing it and hope you enjoy it too, especially when you show it to your grandchildren and remember all the kids you went to school with and the teachers who made you slave away. The staff was composed of: Free Frisinger-photography, Rosemary, McMahn-literary, Rosalys Buckles-humor, John Weimer-sports, Doris Jean Gaff, calendar, Mary Alice Locke-business manager, Charles Shock-Ass’t. Business manager, and Herb Weaver, Peggy Kernodle, Carleton Leak, Zelma Bannind-Ass’t. Advertisers. We hope you like it and keep it for remembrance. JoAnn Lister Editor NEWSPAPER STAFF The Newspaper Staff was also a hard working lot, trying to get the news out to you on Fridays. We would like to comment on a feature of our newspaper of which we are very proud. This year we have had quite a bit of art in our paper which we think was good. Of course, it was Janie’s work. Also we think our humor editor, Rosie, has done a good job on jokes, leaving out the corny jokes that is so common in school papers. We have tried hard and hope we have served you well. The staff was composed of: Peg Kernodle-Editor, Rosemary McMahn-Society Editor, Rosalys Buckles-humor editor, Janie Frisinger-art editor. Jack Dietrich Elmo Engle-sports, and Doris Jean Gaff, Willie Nonemaker, Joann Warble, Marietta Whitehead, Holly Ann Burt, Donna Barnehart-special reporters, and Mr. Young-faculty advisor. The staff has certainly had a lot of fun publishing the newspaper. Aside from making a lot of noise and creating quite a bit of confusion, we think we accomplished quite a bit and furnished all of the news that we were aware of. Thanks and Good Luck!

CHEERLEADERS Mary Alice Locke Rosemary McMahn G. A. A. The North Webster G. A. A. has been in existence for three years. The object of the organization is to stimulate interest in girls’ athletics and to standardize and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. We are members of the Indiana League of High School Girls’ Athletic Association and abide by state rules. Meetings are held every Thursday evening from 3:30 to 5:00. Each year sweaters and letters are awarded to Seniors who have successfully earned a set amount of credit points. The various activities include softball, volleyball, basketball, tumbling, and track. In addition to the required attendance at all regular meetings, each girl must participate in at least nine hours of out of school athletics during each six weeks period. This year four sweaters and five letters have been awarded to the senior members. They are Peggy Kernodle, Rosalys Buckles, Mary Alice Locke, Doris Jean Gaff, and Lorita Van Couren. High lights of the 1947-48 G. A. A. was a gala initiation party for all new members. The members initiated were Ruth Ann Nine, Nadine Rikard, Nancy J. Ervin, Vonnie Pearson, and Pat Koher. In November, members participated in a volleyball play day at Columbia City. This is a very commendable way to foster inter-school relations. Students, we hope that in the future the facilities will be enlarged so the program can be extended. good luck:: SOFTBALL GAMES OF THE 1947 SEASON NORTH WEBSTER VS LEESBURG The game was played at North Webster on September 9, 1947, with North Webster scoring 6 runs and 8 hits and Leesburg scoring 7 runs and 4 hits.

HUMOR OF ’47-’48 This is an excerpt from some of tne the first grade news: We are glad to have some of our pupils back, who have been sick du to illness.” You’re the first girl I ever kissed.” he said, as he expertly shifted gears with his knees. Royer: “Elmo, are you the teach- er of this class?” Elmo: “Gosh, no. Royer: “Well, then, don’t talk like an idot’.” Well, I guess I’ve lost an- other pupil”, said Caskey, as his glass eye rolled down the sink. Joann: What makes you say that your report card is all wet?” Don C.: Because all my grades are below ”C” level.” JudyS.: Everytime I go into: my baby sister’s room, she looks at me and says, “Goo, Goo.” Janie F.: “Don’t be silly, she just can’t pronounce her “N’s”.” I’m through with women, they cheat and lie They prey on males, till the day they die They teach us, torment us, and drive fcs to sin Boy! Who’s that blonde that just walked in? Joe K.: “What did the book-worm say to the librarian? ” Joe M.: “I don't know.” Joe Kt: “May I burrow thatbook?” What's this about some teacner asking for order, please, and receiving the answer, Two ham- burgers and a coke.” Father: “What’s this 60 on your report card? ” Son: “Maybe it’s the temperature of the classroom!” N.-W-H-S A Little ghost, just 2 weeks old. Was very small, but mighty bold. He snuck up to a friend, said “Boo.” Then fainted, Cause it scared him, too.” Bob R.: “Your girl is spoiled, isn’t she? ” Jerry R.: “No, it’s just the perfume she’s wearing.” Mra. Bodkin: What is a hypo- crite?” Herb: A guy who goes to school with a smile on his face.” The way the Senior Class argues, their colors should be black and blue.
