CLASS HISTORY OF '42 In early September of 1930, thirty-four young, happy pupils boarded the great 'tAir- ship of Knowledge at Ossian High School. In April of 1931, Miss Gladys Meyers and Miss Anna Louise Spake, our pilots for the past year, landed the airship and let us out to stretch our legs and romp around. After four months' vacation we started the second hop of our journey, with four new passengers, they were Golden Archbold, Evelyn Miller, Nellie Prough, and Mary Louise Rutenburg. During our first year's journey we lost two passengers, Junior Urshel and Norma Dean Wiekel. This year our pilots were Mrs. Martha Melching, Miss Kathrine Edris, and Miss Helena Mahnensmith. With a good tail wind, we entered the third year of our journey with Miss Ardola Lechner and Miss Helen Archbold acting as pilots. During our summer's vacation Golden Archbold had moved away, but in spite of the loss, we gained another passenger, Imo Jean Grandstaff. At our fourth stop, Robert Hall, Herman Bushee, Betty Jo lsnogle, and Dorothy Schuenaman joined us. Miss Helen Archbold and Miss Esther Hoopengardner were our pilots. Piloting our fifth year were Miss Marie Alsman and Miss Helen Archbold. We left behind Elizabeth Talerico, Roma Decker, Robert Hall, and Billy Trellender. Those board- ing the plane at this station in our course to knowledge were Golden Archbold, Robert and Emmett Courdway, Blaine Knight, and Mareiel Hart, Fred Wall opened the throttle to begin our sixth lap. We were sorry to lose five of our passengers: Dorothy Schuenaman, Mary Louise Rutenburg, Jay Fox, and Blaine Knight, but also we were glad to welcome Kimsey Anderson, Edward Duncan, Florence Brindle, and Rowena Davison. When we entered the seventh grade, going was hard at times, but we managed to pull thl'OUgh- Our pilot WHS MiSS Helen SIT1311. Our newcomers were Ruth Kincaid, Stanley Haiflich, Betty and Wayne Flickenger, Robert Farr, Robert Yergler, and Mary Louise Rutenburg. This year we lost two passengers, Joan Lewis and Florence Brindle. In the eighth hop of our journey we lOSt two passengers, Wilbur I-lelblig and James Parker. But we took on four more passengers, namely, Eloise Dawson. Hannah Jones, John Lee, and Marvin Ostermeyer. We were piloted this year by Mr. Joe Bowers, ln the ninth leg of the journey we were again piloted by Mr. Bowers. This year we lost several classmates: John Lee, Eugene Smith, Marciel Hart, Mary Louise Rutenburg, Pauline Mackey, and Rowena Davison. This loss was supplemented by the many more we picked up, they included Loren Taylor, Jack Harris, Harvey Caston, Marlin Keidel, Delbert Marble, Eileen Monroe, Marcille Helfrick, Edward Horman, John Spuller, Robert McAfee, Carl Johnson, Gilford Johnson, Erma Simmerman, Anna Bell Slain, Harold Trzynka, Ernst Springer, Frederick Springer, Chester Springer. Raymond Springer, Halden Krauter, George Panas, Betty Jean and Dale Rinehart, Emmett and Robert Ccurdway, Tom Brown, Raymond Keck, Warren Adams, Harold Grim, Wanda Stoneburner, Virgil Teeple, and Vera and Arnold Grewe. Our tenth year we were piloted the first semester by Mr. Joe Bowers, but when he left to take a position in India at the end of the first semester, the pilot's wheel was taken over by Miss Frances Snoddy for the second semester. We lost Herman Bushee, Duane Archbold, Bernard Walsh, Jack Harris, Loren Taylor, Kimsey Anderson, Stanley Haiflich, Joan Lewis, Virgil Teeple, Emmett and Robert Courdway, Marvin Osteimeyer, and Warren Adams. However, Marcille Hedges joined us. The eleventh year of our journey came, we were again piloted by Miss Frances Snoddy. This year we lost Juanita Pape, Roy Bushee, and Erma Simmerman, but Harry Button came from Chicago to make up part of the loss. At last our HAirship of Knowledge came to a happy landing. Miss Evelyn Knull, Mr. Kenneth Griffin, and Mr. LeRoy Hedges guided us through our last year. Geraldine Way came from Liberty Center to make our group completeg also we were sorry to lose several of our passengers-Harold Grim, Betty and Dale Rinehart, Harold Trzynka, Halden Krauter, and Raymond Keck. During Christmas holidays Mary Ellen Confer entered into matrimony. With a class of fifty-two we landed our passengers for their last ride in the Airship of Knowledge. We regret the one casualty of our class, the death of Wilbur Helblig. Seventeen
