lil SS PIHIPHHIY we aren't the fancy type and we don't run around in big rocket cars, airplanes or even peer into television sets. We just jog along in anything we can find, but we do get around and in l969 we are looking for our old classmates. My, it seems strange to see most of them again. One we don't see, but hear from, is Bunk Lang. He is scraping paint from the walls of a certain high-walled place. As he scrapes it brings back memories of a number and a well known stadium. Pleasant memories, Bunk. Don Aven writes he is coming up fast in the Navy. He was promoted from scrubbing the lower deck to the upper deck. We hear that Bette Johnson is mining gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota. As we pass the school we see Dixie Ferguson showing three girls cheerleading action. One of the group is Margaret Andrew. She is still trying to get out of High School. we see Stan McKechnie in the window-- looks like he got his job of Math teacher--but--he has a broom in his hand. Oh, you say Bob Ronhaar got it? we thought he would go into business with his Uncle Ben, you know5 driving a long black car with flowers in it. What ever hapoened to Chris Schuettke? She has a tea shop for those famous Bremerton athletic stars when they want to relax after a big game. Right next to the Vande Werfhorst Electric Shop which specializes in all things electric is Terry DuChene's cafe. UThe Best French Fries to Take Homen is the sign in the window. As we pass the greenhouse Jackie waves to us from the window. She is working on one of those famous Bultman Boutonnieres. Nila Cox is running a night school to teach anyone that wants to learn her famous southern drawl. NHi, honey chile.N As we pass through the town of Trofferville we see Mary Ann editing the local paper and trying to get Billy Struthers on his horse so he will get back to the ranch in time to catch Mary Lou Ma1one's weekly news by carrier pigeon from them thar' Washington islands where she is hiding from that famous detective Jacquie WI get themn Witcher. we pass Ann Baan walking beside a little cart. Guess who is inside? That's right, Ed McKeown. we really didn't think that Senior play romance would develop. Ann says he doesn't have to hide in dark passages because she keeps him in the doghouse all the time. The next place we come to is a rabbit farm. Mary Davis is manag- ing affairs and the Langs are overrunning the rabbits and it is confusing.

DON AVEN, will my manly charm to Robin Howell. He is almost as handsome as I. ANN BAAN, leave my scream to Pat Hilberdink because it, added to the one she already has, will probably cause the windows to break. EDWIN PECK, leave the Bookkeeping Key to Mrs. Edens, so she will know where it is for once. HARDY GATES, leave my resemblance to Gregory Peck to Frank Naval, this combination should make the girls swoon. BETTE FROSTAD JOHNSON, having finished school, intend to leave my breakfast dishes. MARY DAVIS, leave the self-control I have developed to Annabelle Lang and Dorothy Olson for them to use on their giggles. CHRISTINE SCHUETTKE, bequeath my sweet disposition to Mad- eline Perryg Hshe's just that kind.N CHARLENE EHERENFIELDT BRUGENHEM E, bequeath my title of nMrsH to Beatrice Traylor. It will go well with her diamond. JACQUIE WITCHER, leave my dramatic ability to Dorothy Reinstra. It is surprising what we shy girls can do! MARY LOU MALONE, leave my hurt feelings to Thomas Roddey. Everything else means too much to me-- Signed, sealed, published, and declared as and for their last will and testament by the Senior Class of Oak Harbor High School, on the 27th day of May in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-nine. CSIGNEDD THE SENIOR CLASS OF 19h9

Oh look at the big tin horse on wheels! Well if it isn't Denise Lueck, following in her father's footsteps, NLuck Sheet Metal.N Luck instead of Lueck. I wonder why. The next house we come to goes up in smoke. Looks like Ed Peck didn't take his father's advice and join the Navy but decided Science Qchemistryj was for him. Now he is looking for a new house for old experiments. Well, well, if it isn't Don Alexander or P. L. B. He asks us if we remember the comic opera, The Mikado. He says it sparked a long smouldering ambition and he is tuning up for a concert tonight. we see Harold Eaton and Slim Gates walking along the road still arguing about who was holding the fish pole when that big one got away. . Oh, we almost forgot Gareld Toler. He has a fixit shop. He really fixes things, if they just run part of the time, after he fixes them they don't run at all. Charlene Brugenhemke has her own home and all the kids are wearing bell bottom trousers. Well, we have seen all our old friends and classmates and we know what they are doing so we can come back to the present, and hope some of these things really don't happen. ri , .I- ,.. xv-Q 1 r?
