Mary Myers Robert hlalone :Xlice XVestinoreland tiene llyal THE ODONIAN CLASS PROPHECY , 1 Dear Mother: Juli 4' UW The day is over and what a day it was. With forty-one seniors of '53 and all their families. It was a wonderful occasion for all of us. This was the tirst time we had been together since graduation. It was a great surprise to me that everyone of us was able to attend. They were all about the same. Here's a little gossip about each one. George Breeden, alias Tweeny', who travels to all types of celebrations with his iireworks and settings gave us a wonderful show. He is still a bachelor. As for bachelors we have several more including those old chums, Roscoe Bus Franklin and jim Adams. they now own the Atomic Dog Food plant at Chicago. Mary Humerickhouse is now married to Richard VVo0druff and they have two little darlings. Joanne and Jack Franklin, Shirley and Lee Townsend, and Nora and Don Chestnut are still the same old happy couples that we had at Odon high except for a few additions to the families. I was so glad to hear Charlotte Williaiiis was a successful horse trainer. Max Sinclair is riding some of Charlotte's Derby winners.

After all these years Owen Gee is still popping corn at the Odon theater. He owns the theater too. ls he stingy or can't he afford to have a boy to pop corn? Fred Porter, now married to Kay Mullis, is helping his father- in-law sell TV sets. THE GDGNIAN Cora Ann Turocy, the old maid of our class, spends most of her time traveling. She is well known in the political lield. Charlotte lNlcliee is married and living in Indianapolis. She is teaching little children how to paint and become famous artists. jerry Sibray is now llying those large jets. He has succeeded in damaging many of the enemy planes.

'ZZ' THE ODONTAN SENIOR WILL Ladies and Gentlemen, lloard of liducation, Superintenclents, Teachers, and Friends 2- Upon behalf of my client, the Class of l953, of Qdon High School, of the city of Odon, State of indiana, U. S. A., l have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life, and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her, realizing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her own virtues, she did, collectively and individually, deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own bands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. As a result of this announcement a wild scene took place amidst most frantic pleading and scrambling among her friends for this or that so long coveted gloryg but she has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial, and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in her power to bestow, the talents that have served her so faithfully these four years, These are her decisions, as at last definitely arrived at through very deliberate consideration. Owing to the fiighty con- dition of her brain, and the unusual disturbance in its gray matter, she begs me to state for her that she may quite possibly have been mistaken in her inventory: but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: Wfe, the Class of 1953, in forty-one and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind,,do make and publish this, our last will and testament hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conduct- ed by our friends and well-wishers, our superintendent and his all- wise and ever-competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the dying, that the fu- neral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our positions as Seniors of grave and reverend mien must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Vive give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken suc- cession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will have her government in afternoon class, or the other one will remember every iron-clad rule of compositional technique in the preparation of her essay. lt has been a hard strain on them, for seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward THE ODK JNIAN We give and bequeath to the junior class our senior dignity. May they uphold it forever, with all seriousness and gravity, en- deavoring to realize its vast importance, in spite of their natural light-mindedness and irresponsibility. Any stubs of pencils, erasers or scraps of paper that we may in- advertently leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. May they feel free to make use of them, and feel. perhaps, that they may, in some mystic way, impart some of our great knowledge to them. These we give and bequeath to the sophomore class. We give and bequeath to the freshman class any overlooked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the underside of desks. banisters, assembly seats. or any likely or unlikely places. VVe have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and choose the most desirable means of disposal. Again, we give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amaz- ing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. VVe know that much we have imparted to them in this way must have been entirely new to them, as well as to all teachers and students everywhere. and would throw much new light on many a hitherto familiar line of thought. throughout the whole world of science and learning, even outside the halls and walls of Odon High School. If the faculty see tit, they are hereby authorized to give out such of this information to the world as they may feel the world is ready to re- ceive. We trust they will also feel at perfect liberty to make use of all such bits of wisdom and enlightenment for the education of the classes to come after us. This, of course, is left entirely to their per- sonal discretion. To our successors we must leave not only our ability to make money but our places in the hearts and thoughts of our teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us: they will show them all the same tender kindness and at- tention that they have bestowed upon us: they will feel the same interest in their attempts and successes: the same sorrow when they fail. llesides these enforced gifts. we leave-not of necessity, b,it our own free will-our blessing, tender memories of our pleasant asso- ciation together, and our forgiveness for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship, henceforth and forever. All the rest and residue of our property. whatsoever and where- soever, of what nature. kind and quality soever it may be, and not herein before disposed of tafter paying our debts an.l funeral ex- pensesj, we give and bequeath to our beloved Principal, for his use and benefit absolutely, and to be disposed of for the good of the com- ing classes as he may see tit. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal sole executor of this our last will and testament. ln witness whereof, we, the class of 1953, the testators, have ltr this our will, written in our annual, set our hands and seal this sixth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-three.

JUNIOR COOK is the big boy who measures 6'4 in height. Junior plays center on the team. He is only a junior, so we will be seeing him again next year. DELBERT COOPER is another junior. He ig one of the smaller boys, standing at 5'9 . Although Delbert hasn't seen very much action this year, he was always present when needed. CARL JENSEN, a senior, is the smallest boy on the team. He is 5'5 tall. Due to his size and lack of experience, Carl hasn't played much ball this year, but he has shown splendid effort. BRUCE MILLER, a senior boy better known as Cork , plays guard. Cork is only 5'9 tall. Although he is smaller than some of the boys, he is a good ball-player, and we will miss him on the team next year. DONALD RAGLE, a junior this year, stands 5'l1 . He is also handicapped by the lack of experience and hasn't played much this year. Since he is only a junior, we will expect to see him back next year. BOB RAMSEY also a junior, is one of the shorter boys, measuring 5'1O . Bob plays guard and has proved to be a great scoring punch this year. LARRY SIMS, another forward for the Bulldogs, is only a sophomore. Larry is 6'2 tall. During this season he has proven to be a very good shot. We will be seeing more of him in the next two years. DONALD SINCLAIR is also a sophomore. Don is 5'10 tall and plays both forward and guard.

August 28, 1952, we went to the State Fair Parade at Indianapolis. The contest was held in downtown Indianapolis instead of at the race track at the State Fair Grounds. Our band tied for seventh place out of forty-one bands. Saturday, October 11, we journeyed to Salem, Indiana. where we won first division in the marching contest. Sherman McClellan also won a first division in twriling, The band went to Vincennes to the Marching Festival the night of October 14. After all the bands had marched on the football field, all the majorettes of the bands were asked to march in a single file onto the football field. Yvonna Reed, a majorette from our band, was chosen queen of the Festival. On October 24, we played for the Odon Republican Political Rally, and the band appeared again on October 30 at the Elnora Democratic Political Rally. We played for the annual Hallowe'en Frolic on October 31. November 1, basketball season started, and the band gave one of its many enjoy- able performances.

On December 22, we were guests at the Indiana Theatre in Washington where we saw the show, Stars and Stripes Forever . It was concerning the life of John Philip Sousa. We played a short concert for Farmers' Institute on January 20. We were very pleased to be asked to play for it. Solo-ensemble contest at Indiana University! Twenty-three of the band members participate, bringing home nine firsts, eight seconds, and seven thirds. The students who won firsts in class C went to Indianapolis to the All State contest.
