This part of our Annual represents the present. The past is revealed in the following pages. The future?----Who can say. We only know that the future is a convenient place for dreams. Our hopes and dreams are many, our memories of P.H.S. ever greater. Three are so many things we'll never forget: The first days as Freshies; that first high school ro- mance; the games; the awards; the parties; the classes where actually there were more laughs than we realized; the trips on the bus; the teachers who we found could be pals;” just a good day when we were happy to be part of P.H.S.; and above all the classmates and friends without whom it could never have been so much fun. Sure, there were sad days too, embarrassing minutes, failing tests, marching band on hot mornings, coming back to school on Monday mornings, the day Mac left the Band, and when we all at once realized we were Seniors and the good times were just about over.-Of course after graduation, there will be enjoyable events and many of them, yet these never will be carefree moments so cherished and remembered through the years as our days with our friends in Plattsmouth High. Now that we, as Seniors, are saying good-bye there is no way to tell following friends and students to enjoy these years. The only thing we can do is to give them these words of advice: It's said that we usually find that the greatest joy in reaching the top was the climbing.” CLASS OF '58 17 It is the year 2058, and hurtling through outer space comes the sight-seeing space ship on its regular weekly run. Among the passengers are six members of the Plattsmouth High School Class of 1958: Judy Lutes, Kenny Dasher, Kola Gardner, Jim Lamascus, Betty Smiley, and Ron Pohlmeier. Piloting the ship are Bill Sullivan, Larry Cole, John McBride, Mac Freeman, and Tom Dunham. Entertaining the passengers are four more members of our Class of 1958, the Girls' Quartet: Mary Nolting, Sheila Marsh, Kathy Johnson, and Janet Campbell. The stewardess and steward, Arlene Cook and Tom Martin, are serving each passenger a king-size tumbler of the famous Stay Young Always Tonic. This tonic has a phenominal history that goes back 100 years. One day while preparing a rare Mau-Mau dish Toenails on Tongue in the home economics kitchen, Shirlee Gerbeling and Marilyn Hendricks, much to the amazement of the solar system, concocted a Stay Young Always Tonic. The toenails were compliments of Ron Adkins, Duane Heim, Gary Morris, Barbara Ulrich, and Karen Starkjohn; the tongue, compliments of Steve Pschenica, Dennis Meisinger, and Eugene Farris. Dr. Brooks, oui high school principal, sampled this monstrosity and upon digesting it, he acquired the features of a high school Senior. When they discovered the amazing power of this concoction, they decided to tell all the other members of Plattsmouth High School. They were completely flabbergasted at this earth shaking news. Since this year was die happiest of their lives, they resolved to taKe a drink of this tonic every year so they could enjoy this happy life always. And to get back to the present, the passengers are reminiscing about their school years and wondering where they will find their old classmates as they proceed on their trip. The first planet they visit is Mars. As the space ship halts at the depot in Marstown and the passen- gers alight, the first of their classmates that they see are Una Eraas and Dean Davis who are impatiently waiting to catch the next space ship to earth. After chatting with Una and Dean, the passengers enter the space port. While looking around, they see Gary Toman behind the ticket window. He is amazed, but very happy, to see his beloved classmates. The sight-seers decide to look around Mars for a few days so they board a supersonic sight-seeing jet. The pilot of the jet is Ron Reimer, and the crew is composed of Dennis Todd, Jay Speck, and Carroll Schmidt. When the jet lands, the passengers are shown the points of interest by DeAnna Stones and Tom Sullivan. Much to the delight of all the classmates, they find that Dan Wehrbein owns the model farm on Mars. Working on his farm are some of his loyal classmates: Vernon Kelsey, David Meisinger, Lowell Rieke, and Gene Baumgart. The girls working in the house are: Linda Aspedon, Janet Baumgart, and Beverly Beckman. Lorraine Lowther is official egg gatherer. These people working on Dan's model farm are all very diligent and conscientious helpers. After their enlightening visit with Dan and his employees, they wave good-bye to diem and climb back aboard the sight-seeing jet. When they reach the city, the girls all go to Irene Meisinger's Beauty Salon where they all try the latest Mars hair styles. They are convinced that the boys will like the style because Jane Nelson, who is the model, looks so nice in it. Ken, Jim, and Ron have waited impatiently for Judy, Kola, and Betty, but they know it was well worth the while when they see the girls new hair styles. They all go back to the space port in their jet, and prepare to continue their journey in the spaceship. The next planet on the tour is Venus. When they arrive at the space port in Venus City, the sight-seers decide to stop at the lunch counter for a few vitamin tablets. Much to their surprise they find June Babcock and Lois Gerdts selling these tablets. The boys decide to look in the telephone book to see if they can locate any of the other members of the Class of 1958. They find that Jim Tyson and Bill Wetenkamp are living in the city. The boys want to talk over old times with Jim and Bill so they rent three speedy jet-motorcycles that quickly take them to the place where the boys are living. Meanwhile the girls are debating how to spend the next few hours. They finally decide to visit a slenderizing salon. When they reach the salon, they find that the proprietor is Anna Shown. Her ex- perts on slenderizing are Pat Wiater and Marlene Haden. 18 In the evening all of the passengers meet for dinner at the famous restaurant, The Greasy Spoon, which is owned and operated by Bob Hutton and Lauren Fleischman. The head waitei is Robert Ehlers. They ali have a wonderful evening. The dinner is excellent and the visit with their classmates, who they had not seen for nearly a hundred years is most enjoyable. When they leave the restaurant, they all say good-bye to the doorman Darrell Sudduth. The travelers hail a king-size cab and drive to a hotel. The driver of the cab is Alvin Plybon. When they reach the hotel, they are astonished to find the desk clerk is Bernard Kuhns, and the bell- boy is Larry VanderVeen. In the morning, after a good nights sleep, they all go downstairs for breakfast. Their waitresses are Sharon Biggerstaff and Emma Lea Stoehr, and the cashier is Betty Dolezal. In the lobby the travelers see Evelyn Kelsey and Arlene Lepidus, who are regular guests of the hotel. Again they hail a king-size cab and drive to the space port to continue their tour of the solar system. When they arrive there, they see Sandra Clark and Betty Longmore who have just returned from Mercury. Since it is the closest planet to the sun, it is always warm on Mercury. During the trip from Venus to Mercury, the passengers were entertained by several flute solos played by Connie Land. The trip was only a few million miles so it did not take too long. When they reached Mercury, they were astounded by the beautiful murals on the walls of the space port. The murals were painted by the eminent artist Gary Horan. As the group steps out of the door of the space port, they see Jim Morris and Matthew Wiysel flying down the street in the latest model Mercury car-plane which they have just designed. Jim and Matthew decide to take their friends around the planet to see some of the graduates who are now living on Mercury. They are happy to see that Jim and Matthew have made such a success of their lives. While flying in the car-plane, someone finds a magazine in the seat and notices that the cover has been illustrated by Gerri Aldrich. They page through the magazine and find an article which has been written by Dorothy Stoehr. From their flying vehicle the passengers see a carnival. They decide to land. While roaming through the carnival, they see Kathryn Thimgan selling tickets to go on a rocket ship. Harold Buffington runs the rocket ship. Some of the travelers decide to take a ride on it. When they climb aboard, they find that Larry Cundall and Bill Long are also waiting for a ride. The rest of the travelers, while wandering around the grounds, see Helen Malmos and Betty Sporer. After an enjoyable time at the carnival, the travelers again move on their way with Jim and Matthew in their car-plane. From the carnival the group go on to the printing plant of the largest newspaper on Mercury. The newspaper is owned by Janet Friedrich, and the editor is Toby Allbee. The chief reporters are Edith Kammerer and Peggy Moore. This has been a wonderful trip, but a tew of the members of the Class of 1958 have been missed. The travelers now board a space ship for Earth to look for them. When they reach New York City, they find that Janice McGraw is thrilling the world with her fabulous bass clarinet solos. Janice tells them that Herb Kraeger is farming in the south of France, so that is the next place they plan to visit. On their way to the New York Airport they are almost struck by a taxicab which is driven by Bill Hunting. Bill is very glad to see his old friends, and apologizes for his reckless driving. When the group reaches Herb's farm in the south of France, he is overjoyed at seeing them. They are surprised to be greeted by Mary Sullivan who owns half of the farm. Nancy Lancaster serves in the capacity of official egg gatherer, and Jim Holoubek and Norman Meints are the two top tractor drivers. The visitors stay at the farm a few days renewing their old friendships before starting back to their homes in Plattsmouth. This has been a long, but very wonderful, trip. They resolve to visit their friends from the Class of 1958 every 100 years 'til the end of time. 19 70tU We, the Seniors of 1958, of Plattsmouth High School, being of magnificent minds and uncomparable memories, do hereby publish this our last will and testament.
