SflllOR CLASS HISTORy FRESHMEN On the 2nd day of September, 1947, a class of 94 brilliant Freshmen entered Pittsfield High School. A great day in the memory of all Seniors is the Freshman initiation day. Our officers for our first year were: President, Don Dell; Vice-President, Dick Ransom; Secretary, Ann Williams; Treasurer; Dorothy Saylor. To help us through this difficult year was our advisor. Miss Gal loway. We eagerly awaited our Sophomore year so that we could watch the Freshmen and see how we looked when we were all mixed up and couldn't find the right room. SOPHOMORES We started our Sophomore year by electing officers. They were: President, Jim Rutledge; Vice-President, Bill Parks; Secretary-Treasurer, Louella Mas Dixon. To help us through this year were Miss Harpole and Mr. Brunberg . We all looked forward to next year when we would be Upper Classmen. JUNIORS At last we were Upper Classmen , and there were 93 of us to prove it. Our officers were elected as follows: President, John Petty; Vice-President, Beverly Lee; Secretary, Charles Butler; Treasurer, Carroll Loutzenhiser. Our sponsor was Miss McGuire. Under her leadership we planned a beautiful banquet which was centered around the theme, The Stork Club. Under the direction of Miss Bueker, we gave the comedy, Beauty and the Beef. The S272 which was profited was used to put on the banquet. We looked forward to the coming year when we would be the seniors of P. H. S. SENIORS With Miss Blaeuer as our sponsor, we returned to P. C. H. S. with 77 Seniors. We chose for our officers: President, Tony Roy; Vice-President, Duane Lyman; Secretary, and Treasurer, Lowell Hubbard. We are grateful to the teachers who have helped us through the last four years of our school days. We hope the other classes have as many happy days as we have had. 24

December 9, 1 965 To Sheriff Duane Lyman Pike County, Illinois Dear Duane, Having heard of your national alarm about the escape of the notorious bank robbers. Bob Ghrist, Floyd Scranton and Lowell Hubbard with gun Moll Jean Sparks, I thought I had better tell you they are hiding out in New York in an old boarding house run by Ada Sittlerand Virginia Freed. I saw them the other day when they tried to steal the fabulous jewels of debutants Ann Seybold, Helen Ryan, and Dorothy Saylor. The debutants phoned theF.B.I. but the agents, Arthur Smith and Gene Zumwalt, couldn't shed much light on the case. Governor of NewYork, Norman Nobel, has taken drastic action to put an end to these criminals. That is about all I have to report on the case but Iwould like to tellyou howmuch lappreciate reading the county newspapers now published by Sue Hoover and Jim Rutledge with reporters Rosalie Willsey, Pauline Niccum, Gene Seybold, and J. W. Kane bringing in news of all descriptions. 1 see in the paper that Jack Ducey, Carl Benson, Bill Parks, and Lou Predmore have bought the Rancho and McCarters. I suppose they thought they could save a little money by doing this. I would sure like to see their floor show featuring chorus girls. Marge Swanson, Ann Williams, Jeannine Lowe, Ardith Payne, and Beverly Lee with C. W. Losch as featured juggler and Yo-Yo-advisor. teachers as Karolyn Beatty, Marilyn Carrothers, Katherine Sheppard, and Louella Dixon, whogives drum lessons. Norma Sloan is faculty advisor of the yearbook and Dick Wilson and Tony Roy are employed as janitor and handyman. In Coney Island I found Andy Chaplin and Lyndle Gratton who are owners of the Bowling Alley. They say they have such famous bowlers as Sherrill Aucoin, Jessie Winner, Betty Barrow, and Ona Garner. The pin boys are Junior Norton and Richard Ransom. On down the midway, I came upon the dazzling advertisement of Erm Brosie's Peep Show where Carol Loutzenhiser sells tickets and Leslie Garner announces the acts. They have such stars as Lois Doyle, Dorothy Ervin, Veda Willard and Pat Sanderson . Charles Butler and Roger Smith are the business managers with the former getting the most of the profits. Across the midway, Byrl Craigmiles and Betty Hull operate a hotdog stand with Thelma Ballard as the chief cook and bottle washer. Down in Philidelphia, Jobn Petty and Keith Smith have invented—of all things—flying duck decoys. Their publicity agents are Curtis Marshall and Gene Owens. Darrell Morton and Donald Dell are also inventors having invented television sets with built-in refreshment stands. Richard Lacy purchased the patent for the television shows so he could place Alice Reeder in the role of Ma Perkins. I understand that Ruth Ann Neese, Betty Taylor, Glenna Brokaw, and Audrey Howell caught themselves a man in the annual Sadie Hawkin's Day race in which Marlene Denton had previously caught two. I will close nowand let my secretary, Joyce Brickman, type this. I hope you catch the robbers. Best wishes. While in Boston I toured the Dorothy Gleckler College of Music which has such famous music Sylvester Smith 26
