Class Poem A real good sponsor is hard to find, One full of smiles and fun. Mr. Leiendecker is that sort of guy, And we thank him for all he's done. Every class has a basketball star, And we are proud to say, That Eli Pina is the guy We're most proud of today. A Homemaker of Tomorrow That's our prediction for Beverly Kline. She won the Betty Crocker Award And that's a pretty good sign. Jerry Hoffman is a farmer. It suits him to. a T . In the top ten,he was chosen As the best personality. Mary Thompson is a tiny girl, And she likes to watch T. V. Her favorite food is pizza, And her favorite actor is Elvis Presley. Some say he's lazy, But the ones who know him well Say Scott Ellinger is a regular guy. We think he's swell. Three cheers for our cheerleader, Barb Bickle is her name. Her lovable disposition Is the reason for her fame. Alice Mathew is a nice, quiet lass. She is our blue-eyed blond. She's also smart as all-get-out. Of her We're very fond. She's never at a loss for words, Our Joyce Rice, we've found Is full of witicism And n.ice to have around. David Germann is the brain of our class. He studies hard, you know. We're hoping whatever he decides to be, Right up to the top he'll go. Theee is a girl named Connie Chaney, The president of our class. Nice and pretty, smart and witty Is this charming lass. A certain young man named Bart Sidle Says a Chevey is his favorite car. His favorite pastime is sleeping And his favorite actress is Zsa Zsa Gabor. A guy who says flying is his favorite pastime, Must be as bright as a button, He likes swiss steak, football, and Jane Russel. O yes, his name is Paul Sutton. Rex Moonshower is tall and blond. He likes to play basketball, If Janet Ellinger isn't around, You may find him sleeping in study hall. He doesn't like research papers, But he thinks hotrodding is fine. He's most likely to be seen in a Mercury. You guessed it, his name is Bill Kline. It's hard to write a poem about Ronnie Agler, There's really too much to tell. He likes Vera Corathers, basketball, and cherry pie. And besides all of that, everyone thinks he's swell. Larry Shaw, a curly headed guy, Has his future all planned, we hear. He's going to go to college To become an engineer. Rita Haver, the pride of our class, It always friendly and gay, And no matter what the future brings, We hope she stays that way. Ronald Coombs hates bossy people And it's easy to understand why He minds his own business and has lots of fun Now who would want to boss such a wonderful guy? We wish Sue Akerman happiness. She is a bride-to-be. May her troubles all be little ones, or maybe two-or-three. Leila Wortman has a goal, A very good worker, I'm sure you'll agree As editor of the Totem Pole And she'll go far, just wait and see. Janet Ellinger, a royal classmate, And homecoming queen is she. With so many activities in school this year, She's as busy as can be. Evelyn Shindeldecker, real quiet and shy, The editor of our book this year. We owe her a lot, and we realize it more, As our graduation draws near. A blond little miss with a sunny little smile, Is Phyllis Clouse, a friendly lass. She's liked by all her classmates, And she's treasurer of our class. Now we come to the end of our story, A tiine that is sure to be sad. As we say good-bye to our classmates, We think of the fun we have had.

C ass Prop ecy It is May 30, 1999, and I have just returned from the annual alumni meeting. It has been exactly forty years since I have seen any of my oldclassmates. All evening I spent talking to my former classmates to catch up on the latest news. The first person I had the pleasure of talking to was Joyce Rice, the world's most famous comedian. Joyce was getting ready to put on an act for the program when I was talking to her. Next I happened to meet Bart Sidle. He told me he was a teacher in his own school for mechanics in Dulltown. He 'also said he had a chain of service stations across the country and Eli Pina was the chief of the car washers. I asked Bart where Alice Mathew, President of the Nursing Staff at Parkview Hospital, was to be found, he said Alice was in the School infirmary trying to revive Evelyn Shindeldecker from a fainting spell. It seems Evelyn is still afraid of mice. After Wandering around for a few minutes, I came upon a group of women dis- cussing married life, among them were the former Connie Chaney, Barbara Bickle, Sue Akerman, and Rita Haver. Connie told me she is still a secretary, but Rita,Sue, and Barbara have a full time job baby-sitting with their grandchildren. As I was walking through the crowd I heard someone say hold still. I thought I recognized the voice and sure enough it was Janet Ellinger, one of the world's greatest artists. I looked around to see to whom she was talking and there on a platform was Phyl- lis Clouse, who is now a model for the Rex Moonshower Modeling Studio. As I was talking to Leila Wortman, editor of the Ohio City Screwdriver, I found that there were some of my former classmates in the news. She told me that Bill Kline had just won the five-hundred mile race at Indianapolis. Dave Germann had just been appointed Secretary of Agriculture and Larry Shaw had just designed and built the first complete atomic airport. I also learned that Jerry Hoffman's basketball team, the All- American Warriors, had just won an international trophy for their skill in playing basket- ball. One of the former members of the team was Ronnie Agler. Also in the news is Paul Sutton, it seems Paul is working on some secret invention and will not tell of its contents. I was just having my second glass of punch when Ron Coombs and Scott Ellinger came over to talk to me. They told me they were partners in a remodeling shop, the remodeling of cars, that is. I was just getting ready to leave when I ran into Mary Thompson, who was just returning from Alaska where she went to get a news report for the Ohio City Screw- driver. This evening was exhausting but I am glad that I went because now I know all about my former classmates. I will probably never see them again unless they come to Kline's Travel Agency to plan a trip. Maybe it is nice that I won't see them again, if I don't I won't have this laryngitis from so much talking. t ,,,,,,,,,,,, . .s,m.s.. ,me-4.11,wa,.,sw4n-nqnwv.qn.msumwm1-:-.-:,--:---mar' A -'N 'L' '
