PROPHECY The invitations have been signed, sealed, and delivered. The response to the Twentieth Reunion of the graduation class of I965 has been IOO5S. As silence falls over the crowd, Rev. Dan Reichard gives the invocation. Immediately following the banquet, Cheryl Johnson, the class president, ex- tends best wishes to everyone. She has been given the privilege of introducing the President of the United States, Ron Weitz, a former graduate of West Point. After the applause ceases Cheryl Baker, the famed vocalist, sings the theme of the memorable Senior Prom, Moonlight and Roses. Mr. Amer- ica, the one and only Dennis Hoffhines, was asked to lead the first dance with the famous John Pow— oil model, Elaine Stober. We also notice two pro football players. Bill Copeland and Francis Schaf- fner, with their coach, John Shafer, As the first dance ends we have a chance to talk with Ron Her- tel, basketba ll coach at Manchester. He tells us that his star players are Jack Clouse and Duane Sell. As the dance continues, we recognize Dean Osborn, the best physician of our time surrounded by hie nurses, Karen Kettering, Nancy Rhoades, Nancy Sapp, Judy Merinar, and Kathleen Beougher. They are being served punch by Shirley White, Sandra Bolinger, and Kathleen Donovan, waitresses from a restaurant owned by Ronnie Swygart. Jim Chrispin, the famous nuclear physicist, with the aid of his assistants, Karen Ray and Sheryl Butcher, is explaining his latest hypothesis. Among those listening to Jim explain how he came to his conclusion are some teachers at Parkway: Tom McGou , chemistry teacher; Cathy Kimmel, English teacher; and Karen Smerik, mathematics teacher. Across the auditorium we see light bulbs flashing, so we decide to investigate. We aren ' t too surprised when we find Joe Miller, a professional photographer, taking pictures of Doug Huffman and Mary Ann Krall, famed actor and actress respectively. To our right we see the famous beautician, Darlena Bruno, showing off the latest hair styles she created especially for the stewardesses who work for Marlin Lautzenheiser ' s Trans-World Airlines. His stewardesses, Fran Gephart, Carolyn Walls Shirley Hamrick, and Rose Beougher absolutely adore the new hair styles and their new uniforms do- signed by Patti Leo and Elaine Westerberg. Those two famous women also designed the uniforms worn by Arillia Laux and Arlene Williams who are serving in the Air Force and Army. Across the dimly lighted floor we see a model of a contraption built by Gary Linn and Dave Raaawehr. We are told that hot rods ' of this typo will be driven in the Indianapolis 500 by Larry Henry, Kenny Fetters, Gary Hauter, and Jim Heffner. They will have the assistance of the best me- chanics in the nation during this great race. They are Larry Gehm , John Schaadt, and Jerry Reigle, who also work at the Michael ' s Garage, owned ani operated by Laurence Michael. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, LaVemo Hamrick, is warning tho guys not to try their hot rods out on the higftwaya. Ronald and Donald Frahm, owners of tho Frahm Candies, Inc., are having free samples passed out by some of their employees, Rosemary Garver, Mary Luginbill, Myrna Maurer, and Mary Miller. Last, but not least, wo talk to Terry Putman, owner of Putman ' s Department Stores. He tells us that his secretaries, Barbara Provci, Carol Baker, and Lena Wilson, are tops in their work. Clerks working for him include Martha Bollinger, Candy Brehm, Carolyn Jones, Linda Rankins, and Connie Sipe. As the final number, Goodnight Ladies, fades into the stillness of the night, we discover that all the graduates of I965 have been accounted for and are awaiting with great expectations the future year s.

HISTORY (The senior class of ' 65 attended Willshire school for ten years) In September, 1951, 42 excited little boys and girls entered the halls of Willshire School for the very first time. Because there were so many of us, we were divided into two classes which were taught by Mrs. Opal Clouse and Miss Joyce Snyder. We worked very hard at reading, printing, spelling and counting. Our second grade was again divided into two groups. Mrs. Kathryn Griffith taught the regular second grade, and Mrs. Joyce (Snyder) Stover taught first and second grades. That year we had many substitute teachers; Mrs. Dypert, Mrs. Carmel Marbaugh, and Mrs. Bese Cowan. In Mrs. Esther Dellinger ' e and Mrs. Marcella Shroeder ' s third grades, we studied geography for the first time and were busy with division in arithmetic. For the first time the class of ' 65 was together in Mrs. Merl Bain ' s fourth grade. We took part in the Christmas operetta as shoemakers. Mrs. Edith Bowen welcomed us to the fifth grade and with her we journeyed through our United States. Our first male teacher was Mr. Clark Sipo. In his sixth grade he prepared us for junior high. Mr. Ray Black was our first junior high sponsor. Class parties, class officers, and several different teachers were some of the new interests and activities opened to us. The eighth grade was sponsored by Mrs. Laura Rumple. Our junior high basketball team took the tourney that year. They were coached by Mr. Don Black. Having passed the eighth grade test, we bade a fond farewell to our junior high days. Our class of 59 freshmen was sponsored by Mr. Theron Ray. On March 18, I960, we presented to the public our first and only penny supper and two one-act playsj Feudin ' Mountain Boys and Life of the Parth. (The supper and plays were very successful.) 1 t Mr. James Schafer, our sophomore class sponsor, was also our drivers education instructor. Thanks to hie quick thinking and footwork(we had dual brakes in the training carl) we all survived and began making plans to enter our junior year at Parkway High. (Part of the senior class of ' 65 also attended Rockford school for ten years) In September, 1951, the Rockford portion of the 1965 Parkway senior class was welcomed into the first by Mrs. Cedell Penn and Mrs. Edith Fishbaugh. They told us school was going to be wonderful. We were going to learn so many things and maybe, if we were lucky, even have homework like our older brothers and sistersi We were beginning to wonder about the veracity of that first remark when we entered the second grade. Mrs. Thelma Hawk and Mrs. Zona Shindeldecker were there to guide us. The following September we willingly moved on to meet our third grade teachers, Mrs. Pauline Brooks and Miss Carol Rogers. Many noons were spent completely in the cafeteria trying to eat all the delicious food we were served. Now we were big fourth gradersl Our teachers were Miss Florence Frahm and Mrs. Rosalie Farmer. Remember the fights we always had to see who got to throw a pinch of food into the goldfish bowl? Going into the new addition, we met our fifth grade teachers. Miss Mabel Wolfe and Miss Dorothy Woodbridge. Miss Wolfe kept us spellbound for many hours while she told us of her tour through Europe. Also, we never tired of hearing about Miss Woodbridge ' s wedding plans. We enjoyed our fifth grade year immensely but were eager to begin nibbling at sixth grade work. Mr. Ford Koeppel and Mr. Clyde Foster lent us their helping hands. We were now ready for seventh grade and the upper hall. Mr. Franklin Le Fevre and Mr. Jerrold Cory accepted the challenge of advising our 54 member class. For the first time we elected class officers end student council representatives. Our class trip us to Huffman ' s Manufacturing Plant, Celina, Ohio. Although we advanced to the eighth grade, we still were favored with the saae ad- visers. For our class trip we toured the Goodyear Plant in St. Marys. The following fall 49 green freshmen entered high school, eagerly anticipating the four years that lay ahead. Our class was sponsored by Mr. Roger Stuckey and led by president Jim Chrispin, vice-president Ron Kertel, secretary-treasurer Nancy Sapp, and student council representatives Cheryl Johnson and Doug Huffman. In the spring the class journeyed through the Superior Coach Corporation and Lima WIMA TV. Elaine Stober was our homecoming attendant, Mr. Stuckey remained as our adviser during our sophomore year, and chosen to lead the class were Jim Chrispin, president; Judy Merinar, vice-president; Dennis Hoffhinea, secretary-treasurer; and Vema Wollet, reporter. Nancy Sapp and Bill Copeland were elected as student council representatives When spring arrived, the Latin II class was privileged to visit St. Charles Seminary, Car thagena, Ohio Our class trip took us to Wri t-Petterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Unfortunately some of us got lost in this big city. Nancy Rhoades represented us during homecoming activities. Because of the consolidation of the Willshire and Rockford school districts, ovx junior class jumped to 79 members, Mr. Jerrold Cory was selected as our adviser. Serving as able class officers were Bill Copeland, president; Judy Merinar, vice-president; Jack Clouse, secretary-treasurer; Don Frahm, reporter; and Nancy Rhoades and Ron Weitz, student council representt-tives. Judy Stewart represented us at Homecoming. Mint Green and white were selected as our class colors, and the white carnation as our class flower. The motto chosen was Forward ever; backward never. During the year the scientifically minded chemistry students visited the Lima Oil Refinery and the Middletown Armoo Steel Mills. Judy Merinar, Cheryl Baker, Jack Clouse, Ron Hertel, and Ron Weitz were elected to re- present Parkway High att Girls ' State and Boys ' St -te respectively. Highlights of our junior year were the class play, The Night of January 16 and our prom, Stairway to the Stars. Sixty-seven seniors entered Parkway High in September, 1962, to complete their high school days. Loading the class were president Cheryl Johnson, vice-president Jack Clouse, secretary-treasurer Ron
