CLASS PROPHECY May 28, 1961 Dear Shirley: Seems ages ago since we have seen each other. Come to think of it, ten years ago today, our class of 1951 was graduated. Remember Betty Hazelton, you probably know she got married. They sure have a nice little home near Clandorf. They also have four cute youngsters. Have you heard Dave Corels latest radio program? He is over station W.F.R. You know, I think he will be the next Frankie Laine. Oh, how I love to hear that guy sing. No, Mary Io Smith doesn't own any lumber-yards anymore. She sold them all and decided to become a nurse. She is working out West someplace for Doctor Wishbar . Donna F undum looked me up when she was in Ottawa the other day. Gee, I was surprised to see her. She sure has changed. She is working as a secretarial nurse for a doctor in California. Long ways from home, isn't she? You know, I havenlt seen Lowell Perkey for some time. The last I heard though, he was working in the Chevrolet garage. He also has a great hobby in racing. He owns his own midget autos. He probably will be down your way someday. He travels all over the world. Did you say Mary Anne Weisenberger was getting married? I heard she was quite a famous wrestler. I haven't seen her for a long time. Do you know where she is going to live? I received a letter from Doris Fought the other day. She tells me she is still busy deciding what other brides should wear, hoping her time will come soon. She still loves playing the piano and is still playing for a lot of the famous weddings. Oh, yes, jack Schierloh just lives a couple of blocks from me. He is now Pres- ident of the National Bank, and he still has his love for money. Martha Pargeon now lives in Findlay, Ohio. She and her husband own several restaurants. We drop in and see them every now and then. The latest restaurant has been called Marti's Place . I read an advertisement in the paper pertaining to Charles McClure. It read like this-Do You Want Your Home Designed? If so, please contact Charles Mc- Clure, the most famous Interior Decorator in the world. I haven't heard or seen him since we graduated, but, he must really be going places. No, Shirley, I haven't seen Carol Douglas for almost a year. She has gone in for the modern business in a big way. They say she types 150 words a minute and takes dictation faster than the boss can speak the words. I just knew Carol would be a great success. Iack tells me Iohnny Schimmoller is still in the Navy. He said john torpedoed 15 enemy ships during the last war, and for that he was promoted to Captain. How are you making out as President of the Nursing School? Did you say you were instructing 150 student nurses? Gee, that is wonderful. Thank you for the invitation to come to Florida to meet your family. I hope I will be able to make it real soon. Yep, Shirley, I have finally hooked a man. He is the cutest guy you've ever seen. We have the sweetest little house in Ottawa. We were married in Feb., but we couldnlt have our honeymoon until his vacation in Iune, so we may see you all then. Well, I expect to hear from you real soon. May .. 19 -

CLASS HISTORY In early fall of September, 1939, the class of 1951 started to school. During the iirst two years, the grades were divided into two groups. Those living in the east attended the East Building while those in the west, went to the West Building. There are only 7 members of the class who have gone to the Ottawa Public Schools for their 12 years. They are: Donna F undum, Doris Fought, Betty Hazelton, Carol Douglas, Mary Anne Weisenberger, John Schimmoller, and jack Schierloh. ' When the third year began, both groups were at the West Building. Our fourth and fifth grades were quite large, however, many later dropped out and moved away. Our sixth year of school started at the East Building where We were under the supervision of Miss Watterson, now Mrs. Helwick. Entering junior-high made us seem quite grown up. Our teacher was Miss Alta Thrapp. Our freshman year, long waited for, was a thrill to enter. Finally in high- school, we were able to choose our activities and subjects. The sophomore year started with our class trying to build up our treasury. Then we lost a school pal, Bonnie, when she died in a fire at her home. Of course, every junior year starts with everyone busy as bees. We presented our class play, The Girl With Two Faces , in November. Then we began work- ing on the prom in the spring of the year. The theme of our prom was Some Enchanted Eveningf, It was made to look like a walled garden with a border- ing brook. We were in the senior year now and were we excited. Individual graduation pictures were taken. We presented our class play It,s A Date on December 8. Then work on the annual started with everyone participating. Two class projects, a bake sale and a paper drive, were undertaken to raise money for the class trip. Baccalaureate services were held May 27th at the Presbyterian Church. The next night we had our commencement exercises at the auditorium. These two events ended our school activities. -18..
