Qfa550 isfvvvo On a rainy September morning, 1938, thirty-two bewildered first-graders met with their first form of 'learnin'. Of those thirty-two, only seven are in the grad- uating class of '5O. They are: Evelyn Wilson, Ann Hollingsworth, Louis Denton, Nancy Coffey, Joe Conarroe, George Nagle and Johnny Miller. We are the first class to complete a twelve year Wtermn, I mean twelve grades in the new school. In the third grade two more troopers entered our union--Carolyn Brown and Bill Wootan. In the fourth grade Norma Epperson, our annual editor, entered our class. In the fifth, seventh and eighthgrade, Joan Dupee, Elaine Gentry and Robert Mingus, respectively, joined our band. Our grade school life was rather uneventful, but we have had a very busy and complete high school career. Our freshman year started off with a bang! we were initiated by the seniors, and after a thorough going-over that day and at the initiation party that night, we felt that now we were full pledged freshiesu Grace Stranburg and Thelma Kersey also entered our class that year. Our junior year started a year of business. We had the book-store and the con- cessions at ball games. Dora Jane Paris entered our class. We had fun preparing for the Senior Prom. It was a huge success with Wanda Robison and Dave Mercer being elected as queen and king. In our senior year we elected George Wagle for our president, Joe Conarroe as vice-president, Norma Epperson as secretary, and Johnny Miller as our treasurer. Ronald Baumer joined our class from Brownsburg. We really worked hard this year. We had great success selling the Christmas cards, and everyone was working to their capacity on the annual. We ended our senior year with eighteen students. we were small in number, we were mighty in spirit.

Qfass tlgvoiogecgo The time is 19803 the place is Pike High School, the characters are the former members of the class of 1950. The gym is filled with laughter as the members of the class meet and talk over old times. At one table are Joan Dupee, Elaine Gentry and Evelyn Wilson. From the overtone of their conversation we can gather that Elaine is the world renown woman scientist who discovered the process of making dehydrated water. Joan Dupee is the famous novelist who wrote Forgiven Amber. Evelyn Wilson is now the editor of the largest newspaper in Indiana, The Ee! Augusta Snoop. We see at another table that Bob Mingus, the owner of the uworld Championnfootball team, the New Augusta Skinflints, is talking to the richest fanmer in Pike Town- ship, Ronald Baumer. Over there we see the famous creator of women's fashions, Thelma Kersey, talking to Dora Paris who buys all of the hats for Block's in Indianapolis. Joe Conarroe is just now arriving--Oh! there's Maralee-he has just returned from a town with his band--The New Augusta Cats. Ann Hollingsworth and Carolyn Brown seem to be enjoying themselves. Ann now owns a string of beauty shops and Carolyn - strange as it seems - is a football scout for Bob Mingus. Those reporters with all their flash bulbs were sent here by Billy Wootan who now owns the Indianapolis News Q Star. Nancy Coffey is still twirling her baton. She is now the world's champion. She looks as if she can't straighten up with all of those medals on ner uniform. Norma Epperson has announced she will retire from teaching next year and settle down and raise some little magicians. Sitting on the sideline is Grace Stranburg. She looks a little tired. Grace now runs a prosperous dance studio and still jitterbugs as hard as ever. At that large table, furnished by Louis Denton are Louis, George Wagle, Don Towns and John Miller. They are dealing out another hand of canasta. Yes, Louis is still winning. Don is now the proprietor of Snyder's Dinner Bellg John Miller is principal of Tech High School, Louis runs a casino in Nevedag and George Nagle is president of the New Augusta Trust Company, the largest trust company in the U. S. Everybod seems to be having a good time, and we will leave them as they are. T ik ,gli ,J ,V A' t Q g K K s g5,..- . Qgii? .
