Class History We, the Class of ’51, started out as green Freshmen (and GREEN we were) with 34 members. As we advanced into the Sophomore year we gained two members; Carole Sprunger from Fort Wayne and Gene Freeman from Pierceton. We also lost six members; namely Margaret and Robert Snodgrass, Lawerence Snooks, Mary Emma Lawson, Flora Mae Tyral, and Bobbe Koons. This year our only activity was selling napkins to build up our class treasury. As we became Jolly Juniors four members were not back. They were Foy Sauers, Gene Freeman, Carol Sprunger and Ellen Miller. During the summer we lost a loved one of the class, Judy Sullivan, who died of Polio—BUT — We cannot say and will not say That she is dead-she is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of hand She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there. And you—O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the grand return, Think of her faring on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here. Mild and gentle as she was brave—-When the sweetest love of her life she gave. To simple things where the violets grew Blue as the eyes they were likened to. The touch of her hands have strayed As reverently as her lips have prayed; When the little brown thrush that harshly chirred Was as dear to her as the mocking bird; And she pitied as man in pain A writhing honey-bee wet with rain. Think of her still as the same, we say; She is not dead she is just away! James Whitcomb Riley We gained one new member, Paul Kirkpatrick who hailed from Kansas. During the year we had many money making activities. They were concessions-noon and ballgames; selling Christmas cards, napkins, and stationery; and a cake-walk. During the summer we had one bake sale and a stand at the Mermaid Festival. As we started the Senior year we gained two members-Marilyn Pownall and Sharon Beckler. Also we found that Ray Penn and Chuck Mabie were not with us and that we had one member with enough credits to go on to college. He is Paul Kirkpatrick who is attending Anderson College-However who graduated with us. We have had many activities to keep us busy in our last days at the Alma Mater. 14

Senior Party at Chicago On January 27, a cold winter day, the Senior Class of “51 took off for a day at Chicago, Leaving Webster at 7:30, in the morning we arrived in Chicago about 10:45. First we went to the Planetarium, and heard a lecture on the stars of the southern hemisphere, which was centered around the Southern Cross. In three minutes we saw a month go by and all the changes that took place in the heavens during that time. Time was again speeded up and the universe was changed so that it appeared as though we were on the South Pole. The heavenly bodies that appeared in our heaven could not be seen down here, but there were different bodies that corresponded to some of ours. In less than an hour we had been clear to the South Pole and back again and had seen all the changes that take place in about two years there and how it compared with the heavens we see here. To enable us to resume our tour of Chicago we crossed the street and there ate in the cafeteria of the Chicago Museum of Natural History. The next place on the agenda to go was the Brookfield Zoo. We saw many different kinds of animals and their habitations. About 4:30 we started up town to find a place to eat dinner. Most of us ate at Toffenettis, located near the Schubert Theater, which was our destination following dinner. There we saw the stage play “South Pacific. A story of the medlodious life on an island within small-boat distance of Bali Ha'i. At about 12:00 we finally started homeward, tired and sleepy.
