SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 1938 found a new class of 112 students entering Terrace Park High School, where they were to make many friends. The class entered with enthusiasm into athletics and Clubs during their one year at Terrace Park. The outstanding event of the year was the Freshman Party. In 1939, sixty-three of the former students were privileged to enter Plaine Ville High School, a beautiful new school in Meriemont, in which they spent the three following years. The social events which highlighted the year were the Sophomore Sweater Swing and a combination progressive dinner and dance. Members of the class entered wholeheartedly into athletics and scholar- ship, sharing in the many honors awarded to the new school. The second year passed quickly, and 'in 1940 fiftylsix students returned for the third year. Before the Christmas holidays the class sponsored the Holiday Hop and later a Iunior Bake Sale. In March all the class co-operated to make the play, Going Places, a success After much preparation, the Climax of the year was the annual Iunior-Senior Banquet and Prom given for the seniors, In the fall of 1941, thirty-nine seniors prepared for their last and greatest year. During the year the Class gave two dances e in October, the Senior Shuttle, and in December, the Boogie Ball. Soon afterward a surprise party was given for Mr. Wyatt on his birthday: The Class gave him a silver cigarette lighter and case. Later they sponsored a bake sale and paper sale, both of which proved very successful. The Senior Play, Here Comes Charlie, was given as the final dramatic performance of the class. All the year's activities built up to one thing, the production and financing of the Annual. The Class of '42 worked hard and played hard; despite many probable errors, it has accomplished much and hopes to remain worthy of the faith and trust that has been placed in it.

CLASS PROPHECY 1999 Le We Remember When . r . Years like glowing embers on the hearth of time are still vivid in our memories, as their highlights present an interesting panorama Here at the overture of the twenty-first century our particular professions have led to many observations which are of mutual interest. Strange- ly enough, the persons involved are known to all of us. We have successfully fulfilled the terms of our compact sealed over six decades ago. Many of our friends have become famous. Remember when Bob Coan's Frolics were the big attraction? It was then that Yvonne Kopp gave one of the best performances of her singing career, with George Roberts as the heart-throb, and Rosemary Brand as the Zieg- tield Girl. That was really a. show,- incidentally, those magnificent structural designs were, for the most part, the work of our own Ian Peters and Ruth Dew. Women's hair fashions were revolutionized when Dave Morgan introduced the HSait Water Wave, which he discovered during a dip in the ocean. The beauty salon of Mary Schultz and Velma Hazentield contributed startling coitiure designs. Lois Wyatt and Doris Connely produced sensational clothing creations from their studios Bob Gunkel gained prominence as a chiropractor, and, if we remember correctly! Bob later took Charge of the gym Classes in the same university where Herb Mersch was teaching horticulture. Remember when Iack Crenshaw and Iim Geiser rode the dead-heat winners in the ttDuckey-Derby of '59 ? Walter Clark received a great many protests as judge of that race, especially from Frank Morse, Who owned one of the losing horses. And do you recall when Bud White was titled the Best Dressed Man in local business circles by Vincent Kenny, president of the Mid-West Tailors' Association? It was a good many years previous to that that Norbert Meyer established Hinterpianet communication and, it you recall, the rocket ship that he used was designed and built by jimmy Teese; radio equipment was the work of Don Garbutti Then HDuke Arneson made his debut in diplomatic service as first ambassador to the planet, Talk about distinction! Mabel Jordan reached the top rung in her ladder of fame as Queen of the Skates around '58. Many young entertainers owe their success to Dotty Dartt tD. DJ whose enduring laugh- ter has made her HSChOOl of Hilarity a national institution. Several of our pals haVe taken part in scientific expeditions. Frank Smith's discoveries started a gold rush to the Antarctic, and Marian Hannaford and Elaine Borchard were the i'gold rush Mazies of their day. We remember, too, when Bruce Lewis developed his death-ray ma- chine which, when tested during the latest war maneuvers, proved more deadly than any other device. Some years ago Viola Wieland and Iune Whitney featured Juanita Moore. celebrated sax entertainer, at their Double W Night Hlub. Their establishment was widely known for the tasty foods prepared by Dorothy Graf and Mabel Fite. The charming hostess was none other, than June Knabbi A favorite among the Red Cross staff was Gretchen Hermanies; other staff workers were Betty Blaney, Florence Moore, and Katherine Willey. They received recognition for their out- standing rescue work in the disaster of '53. It appears that many of our former Classmates have achieved lasting distinction even to the present day. Having arrived at the parting of the ways, we can go forth with these pleas- ant recollections imprinted on our memories. And so Adios. Au Revoir, and Flub-Dub.
