We lost Clara Belle Daniels, but gained one of our old schoolmates, Reta Mauller. Much thought was given to the choosing of our Senior Class Officers. They are as follows: President --------------- Bob Wolfe Vice-President --------- Mildred DeRoo Secretary -------- - -Anna Belle Case Treasurer ----------- Phyllis Heimann Sponsor ---- ----- M rs. Eloise Andrews Our class play, GONE WITH THE GIRLS, was given January 28, 1949. It was a great success. One party has been held during the year at the school grounds, with the Seniors entertaining the Freshmen.

SENIOR PROPHECY On May 8, 1949, our graduation day, we decided to meet exactly ten years from that date. Ruth Ehrsam and Anna Belle Case were selected to make arrangements for the party. How quickly those years passed. It seemed no time at all until Ruth and I were busy preparing invitations. What: Class of 49 Reunion Where: Diamond Horseshoe When: May 8, 1959 Banquet for all 1949 Seniors of Pleasant Mills and their extensions. The Diamond Horseshoe Restaurant formerly Ed and Pat's, now owned by Anna Belle Case and husband. That lengthy invitation seemed to lure everyone back to the old stomping grounds. Reservations came in promptly from many of the grads. As hostess, I had been busy for a week but with the assistance of Ruth, everything was in order for our guests when they began arriving at six-thirty. Our first caller was Mildred DeRoo, her husband, and two lovely children. We were interested to learn that she had come all the way from California where she now owns a beauty shop which caters to the Hollywood stars. She lives next door to Elizabeth Taylor. Our next guests were Pat Gephart and her husband. They own the Pleasant Mills Enquirer, but are in the process of buying the Washington Times. If the deal is completed, they will live in Washington, D. C., where we have been invited to hold our reunion of 1969. We were chatting along when the maid announced Eleanor Chronister and her husband, owners of a large oil well in Arizona. They find both the time and money to do extensive traveling. .To Ellen and Tom, their two children, remained at home with a companion and tutor. A special delivery arrived from Lee Girod. He regretted deeply that he and his family would be unable to keep the appointment due to the fact that the three children were quarantined for the measles. He said that he owned the Ford Agency in Austin, Minnesota. They would make every effort to attend the reunion in 69. David Ripley came next and alone. When we inquired where his better half was, he hurriedly informed us that he was not fooling away all his time on one woman when he was the coach of the ten most beautiful redheads in the world. While Dave was relating the accomplishments of his basketball club, he was interrupted by the arrival of Phyllis Heimann and her husband. They are both teachers at Ball State College. Jo Ann Heimann and her financee were along. She is a well-known artist. 18
