There were twenty -seven of us, wide eyed and proud: Richard Arnold, Janet Banter, Elizabeth Bryant, Barbara Cox, Carolyn Davis, Dennis Diffenderfer, Donnie Engle, Ronnie Engle, Nancy Foust, Robert Fear, Wyndetta Graham, Jone Gregg, Floyd Harshman, Marjorie Hodge, Sue Ifer, Ronald Johns, Kay Kirkwood, Pat Lovell, Earl Meshberger, Robert McFarren, Carl Pease, Nancy Pinkerton, Sue Reynolds, Donald Schooley, Gary Shannon, Bill Stanton, Nora Vanover, Ramona Womrlan. Our class officers were: President-Don S., Vice Pres. - Barbara C., Secretary- Dennis D., and Treasurer-Elizabeth B. We were promptly put in our places on initiation day, but as the year progressed, we could feel the greeness wearing off. We were more confident in our sophomore year and we were beginning to enjoy the feeling of seniority. Our officers were Pres.-Don S., Vice Pres. -Caroll W., Secretary -Jone G., Treasurer-Elizabeth B., News Reporter-Dennis D. During the year, Pat Lovell moved to Portland and Caroll Williams joined our class. In our junior year, we began to realize that hard work accompanies high school years. Our main money-making projects were, selling magazines, handling the ballgame concessions, presenting the play Granddad Steps Out, and playing host to the seniors at the reception. Perhaps the project we worked hardest on was our Valentine Dance. Our membership remained the same this year and our officers were Pres.-Don S., Vice Pres.-Barbara C.. Secretary -Ramona W., Treasurer-Elizabeth B., News Reporter -Richard A. We began our final year minus Bob McFarren, Sue Ifer, Janet Banter, Floyd Harshman, and Kay Kirk- wood. In our senior year, we sold Christmas cards and candy, gave a Valentine Dance, and presented the play Feudin' Over Yonder. For all of us, this year has been the most exciting, fastest moving year of all. We will not remember however, the fall of '54 as the beginning and the springof '58 as the end. Instead, we will remember the good times between these two important dates, as we recall our high school days at P.l-LS, 16 eachfa We were on a planet-wide tour in our sputnik, The Junior when we passed a rocket ship called The Music. It was owned by that famous pair, Barbara Cox and Billy Stanton,the queen and king of rock-n- roll. The were on their way to earth to put on a show. Barbara now has a diamond -studded sax and Billy a transparent guitar. Rich I guess! A few stars later, we passed over Mars,and guess who was in the King's Palace. Yes, Gary Shannon. But, he's only the king. Ramona Worman's the queen and she runs everything including Gary. We also see Ronnie Johns thereg he's the janitor. Ronnie's married now and is the father of two sets of triplets. EEk! What was that. Oh, I guess it was just Wyndetta Graham and Nancy Foust practicing for the king. They are singers and dancers in the King's Harem. They always have been interested in singing since they played the part of singers in the senior play. Next we passed over Mercury and there was Richard Arnold and his assistant Joyce Penrod working on a rocket that would enable the people on Mercury to reach Earth. Richard and Joyce have been planning to tie the knot for years. No! It can't beg but it is. Earl Meshberger is down on his knees begging Sue Reynolds to take him for a ride in her Rocket for Men. It seems that Sue is the ruler of Venus and somehow she got the idea she was the beautiful goddess. She has obtained the name, The Bad and the Beautiful. Contrary to school days, Sue and Earl seem to be pretty good pals. As Saturn comes into view on our finder, we see Donnie Schooley working in an Automatic Theater. All you do is press a button and everyone is seated. Well, we've been traveling quite a while now. Let's stop off on Neptune. Swoosh. Here we are and here comes Caroll Williams, the proprietor of the Neptune Motel and Refueling Station. Everyone stops at Caroll's. A Some of the travelers staying over in Caroll's Motel were Nancy Pinkerton and Bob Fear. They were married only two weeks ago by our good friend Rev. Carl Pease. After the ceremony, Rev. Pease had to hurry back to his beautiful wife, Anne - Anne Bryant as we know her. Ann and Carl always were fond of each other. As we come in closer range of Uranus, we can see Donnie and Ronnie Engle's mansion. They haven't been getting along too well. Ronnie lives in one half of the house and Donnie in the other. They both have lovely brides - twin sisters at that. Now we're traveling near a road in Pluto. Oh no! There's Carolyn Davis chasing Dennis Diffenderfer again. She is driving her jet-propelled police car. All the police on Pluto are policewomen. Carolyn is the head of the whole force. Dennis has a jet -propelled car also. He just loves to have the police chasing him, especially Carolyn. We should stop off on Earth before we go home. We are now over Elvis Presley's home in Tennessee. My what a lovely housekeeper he has. Why, it's Jone Gregg, Elvis is retired now and Jone waits on him hand and foot. Lately she's been all shook up leaming that she will inherit Elvis' teddy bears. Well, it's been a long journey and we're sorry we have to leave but we must get back to our castle on the moon. , an. I 5 . 'K' xH .n -2 '-Ysfiz 'ttf-1-5'--' .-. ina:- . ., .. ,,,.

Grandad is a sickly old man who is babied by his daughter, Mrs. Morton, until his old friend, Big Jim, came to call. Big Jim convinced Grandad to step out with him. Then the mystery began. After several complicated situations, everything is straightened out in time for a happy ending.

According to an early paper, it was two stories high, consisting of five rooms and one hall. At present, fifth and sixth grades, music and history classes, and the office are located in these rooms. Nottingham Township was still quite young when the school was built. The first settler, Joseph Blacklege, arrived on September 19, 1837. During the next year, when ten more families moved into the area, it could be said that our community actually began its existence. Nottingham Township was organized in the 1840's and was probably named after Nottingham, England. The village of Nottingham, perhaps the oldest in the township, took the name for itself. Other early towns were Phoenix, Domestic, Ruth, and Derrick. As a result of an oil boom, the town of Petroleum was built in the 189O's. At this time, wells were being drilled all over Indiana, but none of them produced better than the wells in our community. For instance, in 1892, a well was shot on the Allister farm which flowed 600 barrels in 24 hours. In 1893, on the Bawley farm, a well was drilled which flowed 35 barrels perhour. It was reported at this time, that no less than 25 oil derricks could be counted while standing at the crossroads at Nottingham, and most of the wells were paying. Petroleum felt the need for a larger school in 1910 when the oil boom was still going full blast. At the time the rooms for' grades one and two, science, English, home economics rooms and the coat halls were added. The cost of this addition was approximately S6,890.00. Today the probable cost of one classroom is S25,000.00. In 1924, the remainder of Petroleum School as we know it today,'was built. All through the years, memories and traditions have acctunulated within Petroleum School that will probably outlive the building. Thegworth of a school is measured by the efforts of the people and .the community it serves. lt depends on those who pass Whether I am a tomb or a treasure You take out only what you put in It depends on those who pass. 2 YEARS IN ADVANCE OF THEM ALL DEALER IN WONDER BUILDINGSH GENERAL CONTRACTOR and BUILDER Phone 1739-2 Bluffton, Indiana R.R. :fi I W: 'EX' u,-5:1-:ffff-..: f..
