PROPHECY This is the story of two spinsters concerning their life-long-sought-after trip to Hawaii as re- lated by the spinsters Nichole Leighner and Deatra Riley. On a beautiful rainy morning in the year 2000, we left Fort Wayne in. a new deluxe C.R.A.S.H. AIR- LINER, piloted by the capable Lisle VanTilburg and assisted by his co-pilot Dick Stewart.- As we sat in those cushiony hard seats, we rang for the cute stewardness, Mary Allmandinger, and asked her for pillows to make us more comfortable. While waiting for the pillows, we noticed some well-known faces For instance, there was the multi-millionaire, Tom Zizelman, sitting in. front of us with his secre— - taries, Sharon Schumm and Becky Del linger. To the right of us was the famous lipstick tester, Bill Snyder, with his associate and helper Barbara Barna. While we were further straining our eyes, we noticed in back of us the well-known silk stocking model Trenna Lantz and her designer Doug Dilbone. Finally our pillows arrived bearing the autographs of the internationally famous play-boy, Tom Robbins, and Noel Temple, the 1962 twist champion. The stewardness then announced that we were landing in Hawaii. We were driven to our hotel by the taxi driver, James Zizelman. John Hawk, the doorman, and the bell-boy, Don Fisher, graciously took our luggage to our suite. While we signed the registration book, the manager, Tom Myers,, said he hoped our stay would be pleasant. As we walked into our room, we noticed the maid, Donna Bollen- bacher, sweeping the dirt under the rug. After getting settled we decided we ' d go for a swim. At the pool, life-guarded by Diane Kuhn and Frank Shindelkecker, we watched the performance of the famous synchronized swimming group, THE SWANS, directed by Judy Deitseh. As we were leaving the pool, we noticed a large crowd gathering. Of course, we had to see who it was. We Were thrilled to find it was none other than the singing idol, Steve Alspaugh, surrounded by fans and reporters which included the famous reporting team of PHS, Thompson and Weisenborn. We arrived back at the hotel in time to see the crowning of Mr. and Mrs. America, Gary Pierstorff and Sherrill Rutledge, respectively. Ve then decided to turn in for a good night ' s rest so that we would be ready for the next day ' s activities. Bright and early the next morning we went on an island tour guided by Dick Courtney. First we visited a pineapple plantation owned by Dale Fleming. His pineapple pickers, Jim Anderson, Ron Stet- ler, Marilyn Daugherty, Lorna Winkler, Don Hileman, and Ramona Champion, were busy picking pine- apples. After the pineapple plantation, we toured a cattle ranch owned by Gary Fisher. The cowboys, David Roth, Marvin Schaadt, Cliff Garwood, Jerry Tumey, and Gary Henkle, were terribly tired for they had just finished the yearly cattle roundup. Next on our tour, we traveled by boat piloted by Leland Bollenbacher to the exotic island of Mucky Mucky, where we saw beautiful gardens cared for by Bill Gibson, Ned Lautzenheieer, and Elmer Roehm. We went back to the main island of Hawaii and dressed for the weekly Luau at the Hopi Ca- bannia. During the Luau, we were entertained by hula dancers Martha Goodwin, Karen Anspach, Vir- ginia Roehm, Dorothy Fisher, Janice Bollenbacher, Jane Strete, and Mary Rodriguez. Following the hula dancers ' performance, came the traditional sword dancing. Dick Fickert, Jack JJolenbaugh, Tom Gibbons, Jon Shock, and Merrill Miller made up the troupe. After the luau, we went to the famous Bamboo Night Club owned by Pat Trisel. We were seated by the head waiter Danny Williams. The shapely cigarette girl, Marianna Vining, tripped and fell into the lap of Joe King, the private eye from SurfBide Seventy. Dinner music was provided by the world- renowned Mary Jane DeArmond. The master of ceremonies, Gary Deitseh, announced the Barbara Taylor dancers, made up of Suzann Werst, Patty Williams, Linda Marbaugh, Wilma Marsee, Bonnie Miller, Mar- lene Schinnerer, Sharalene Secrest, and Judy Miller. The next two weeks were just as enjoyable and fun-filled as the previously mentioned days. However, our money was running low and we decided to leave for the mainland by ship. We arrived back in Fort Wayne tired and broke, but happy .and then the alarm clock rang and we realized that it was only a dream. —Deatra Riley Nikki Leighner

HISTORY (The senior class of ' 62 attended Willshire school for eleven years) On September 11, 1950, thirty intelligent looing little angels tottered into the first grade. It wasn ' t long until our wings grew a little shorter-Mrs. Opal Clouse kept us well in ht-nd. Mrs. Kathryn Griffith was ready to welcome us into the second grade and really hated to push us into the third grade, where we met Mrs. Esther Dellinger. In the fourth grade, Mrs. Merl Bain taught us to make paper animals. After conquering this great feat, we were willingly passed on to the fifth grade and Mr3. Edith Bowen. Although we liked the fifth grade, we were happy to be passed to Mr. Clark Sip e ' s sixth grade. Ahi The seventh grade at lastl We could how have our own lockers, class officers, and different teachers during the day. We shared these great privileges with Mr. Ray Black. Most of us also shared the consequences of throwing rock salt in the study hall and in the halls. Mrs. Laura Rumple tried to control us in the eighth grade. We were season basketball champs and were almost tournament champs. After sweating out those horrible eighth grade tests, we were ready to move on. How honored we felt to receive those diplomas I We were really big stuff now. Here it is, 1958, and we were being pushed into the upper hall. Mr. Theron Ray, our sponsor, and Sandy Maken, our president, pulled us through this hectic year. We had a penny supper followed by two plays, Custer ' s Last Sit, 8 and Headin ' for a Weddin ' . Many budding actors and actresses came into the spotlight from these great productions. Miss Glendene VanLandingham tried to hold us down during our Sophomore year. Between her and our president, Mary Jane DeArmond, we managed to act out two more plays and another penny supper. The plays were The Little Red Schoolhouse, and Christmas at Casey ' s. As a project, we sold station- ery and kitchen knives. A few of us were very honored to be chosen as servers for the pronu In our junior year we were very active, doing our share of work as well as our share of trouble. Our sponsor was Miss Naomi Sipe, and our class president was Elmer Roehm. To raise lots of money for our prom, we had a scrapdrive on a lovely, rainy day, and a class play called The Nutt Family, which didn ' t bring in too much money. The theme of our prom was Southern Cotillion and we were very proud of our abilities because it turned out to be very beautiful. (Part of the senior class of ' 62 also attended Rockford school for eleven years) On September k, 1950, Mrs. Penn and Mrs. Fishbaugh anxiously awaited the arrival of us as first graders. They were even more anxious to let ua go on to the second grade teachers, Mrs. Shindeldecke and Mrs. Hawk. Next, Mrs. Brookes and Miss Mace tried to pound knowledge into our hard heads in the third grade. Miss Frahm and Miss Rogers taught us about verbs in the fourth grade. We moved into the new ad- dition for the fifth grade under Miss Wolfe and Miss Woodbridge. We had male teachers for the first time in the sixth grade-Mr. Keoppel and Mr. Foster. Then came the big stepl We got to go to the top floor. Our homeroom, teachers were Mr. Hakes and Mr. Arnold. Mr. Arnold liked us so much that he stayed with us for the 8th grade, but Mr. Ault took Mr. Hakes ' place in our other homeroom. We started our freshman year with 58 students. This year was a big change, for we had elective courses. Our class sponsor was Mr. Booher, our president, Nikki Leighner. Attendant at the home- coming was Darlene Davis. We went to Wright- Patters on Air Base on our sophomore class trip. Our sponsor was again Mr. Booher, our president, Pat Trisel. Our sophomore attendant was Trenna Lantz. Our junior class play, Heading for a Wedding, was a big success under the direction of Mr. Booher.. The class president was Ronald Stetler, and the junior attendant was Dorothy Fisher. E- lected to go to Girls ' State and Boys ' State were Dorothy Fisher and Leland Bollenbacher. (The classes of Willshire and Rockford joined and became the first class to graduate from Parkway) Our senior year proved to be the best year of all. Mr. Ted Hakes was our sponsor and Diane Kuhn was our class president. Since we had no class trip, we had no money making projects except our clas play, The Whole Truth. Trenna Lantz was senior attendant and Mary Rodriguez was homecoming queen. — Leland Bollenbacher Dorothy Fisher Martha Goodwin Jim Anderson xxxx
