Wmargs A lltlllrsaio We set the time machine ten years into the future and get a glimpse of the success of the class of 1949. We see JOAN MARSHALL and LEROY COOK watching their boy play football with the gang. Let's listen in and hear what Leroy Sr. is saying to Junior. Let me show you fellows how to play foot- ball. Even if I am a Judge now I can still play foot- ball. You know I used to be the captain of the foot- ball team back in 1949. IVA MAE BRACY, now the maid of Joan and Leroy, is saying to Joan, Madam, dinner is served. JANICE ADAMS is still looking for a member of the opposite sex. She is a nurse at Ford Hospital in Detroit. She is doing very well. We see PHIL ANNIS is an onion farmer way down in Kentucky, and who is that pretty gal? After being married for several years we see FREIDA BLAIR teaching the first grade at Read- ing High. We see BOB BAILEY is true to his name for he works at different farms bailing hay and straw. It seems ROY BROWN and NANCY BLOSSER are doing all right. Roy is an artist in Chicago and Nancy, his wife, works in an office with a very good salary. EDDIE BOLEY is now playing football with the Navy. He is the star and also captain of the team. BOB BOYER and JEANIE are now living in Jackson. Jeanie has stopped working at Foote Hos- pital and is r eady to settle down to family life. People are still yelling at Bob, Milkman keep those bottles quiet. ED COTTMAN is now touring the country raising money to provide a home for stray cats and dogs. LOIS JEAN HORST is now the most popular sorority mother of Hodunk college. LAURENCE JOHNSON joined the army soon after he waslout of school and has become a gen- eral. He has a very good army record, and is still single. ELWIN VAN HOOSEAR seems to be quite happy with his work. He is 'running a home for re- tired chorus girls. IRENE KEITH, to our surprise, we see has settled down and has a nice little family. Her hus- band works at Richard's and John's pickle factory at Slip Slop, Mexico. It looks like MARION KIDDER still has his Tarzan suit that he wore in the senior play and is now a full fledged life guard at Lake Michigan. HELEN KOWALSKI is running a frog farm. She likes it, but misses driving that tractor around. Her husband does most of the housework which makes Helen love him all the more. They are living in a small town in Alaska where the frogs grow big. What's this? DON LINT and DOT WATTS are now running a drug store where the Watts drug store used to be. It seems that Dot's dad retired and turned his drug store over to Don and Dot. They are doing very well. BARBARA MANN is now married to that handsome guy from Bronson. They have a nice little home and a family of two. Elghflllllll ii. F -.L -. - If '-A HG iw.- ' 42- NORMA MATSEL is now working in the State School as head Dietition. BARBARA MAJOR, the little gal who always talked in the study hall, is still talking, but she is now pastor of the Trinity Church in Chicago. KENNY PHILSON is a comedian on the Sun- shine Hour. Poor Kenny still hasn't got nerve enough to ask Barbara to come and be his little wife. Hey Barb, a gal in your profession ought to be able to alter the situation, CHERYL MINER has married a Texan and is living down in Texas on a large ranch. Her husband is a good worker and very prosperous. LESLIE MYERS is an up and coming Welder. He is doing very well. GENIEVE OLNEY is a housewife. She is very neat and her husband is an insurance man. I wonder what happened between PAT and PETE UNICK, for Pat is now a famous movie star. JACK VICORY is on the all Star Basketball team and can get the ball into the basket at any position. I guess it's true that practice makes perfect. IOLA PIERCE is married now and is taking Rustie's place at Watts Drug Store which is now called Lint's Drug Store. Jim seems to be very patient when she doesn't get home on time. IRA SMITH has a restaurant and cabin resort at Mackinaw. MAE REHNER is star of the Brand Ol' Opera singing hillbilly songs. NORMA SMITH is a Home Ec. teacher in a large High School in Chicago. RICHARD ROSE is now running a flower shop and his main flowers are Roses. We hear by the grape vine that he's interested in a certain little Rose that didn't grow in a hot house. BETTY LOU SMITH is living in Detroit and owns the Silver Lake Ice Skating and Roller Skat- ing rink. We hear a little of Hillsdale or Jonesville is there also. Which is it, Betty? DORIS SAWDY is playing her clarinet with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Ray has suddenly become interested in classical music. We see DALE COOK is in business and catches wlixgles. He's doing a whale of a business so we're to . MRS. VOLKERT, who is still the basketball coach at Quincy knows her knitting when it comes to picking out basket ball stars. The Queens have won the trophy for four straight years. Jonesville hasn't had a chance, which makes the coach happy for she graduated from Jonesville way back when. VIRGINIA MAST is now living in Litchfield and is trying to teach little Ginny to play the violin as well as her other pupils.

Brass Serie SENIOR CLASS SONG Pat Unick Along the Graduate's Trail Every Year along about springtime Senior Classes come rollin' along They ride with their future their goal Along the Graduate's Trail. Over hills and mountains and valleys Every trial to prove we were hale. Our wagons are swiftly approaching The end of Graduate s Trail. The blazes we have followed through the dangers We thank the guides and scouts who left them there. We leave to coming seniors these brave rangers Who led us to the door to everywhere. Well, what do you know, commencement is comin' All the world is waitin' to hail The victorious Forty-Niners, Upon the Graduate's Trail. Seventeen Brass llkhoieiui N O BENCHES In nineteen hundred and forty-six. As greenhorns we began. Our long, long, journey upward, Into the promised land. But first we were initiated. In blackface and water melon, The next year we made loads of silver, On the radio we were selling. ' The following year proved exciting, With the Pennington Case and all. We also had a J-hop, Called the Cinderella Ball . Our crowning year had now arrived, And with it also came, I Two Gentlemen and Veronav, And a donkey basketball game. We are near the end of our journey. Our goal is at least in sight. For we are the forty-niners, Plodding upward, day and night. - Iola Pierce
