Class History 1 - ing to make whoop-ee! he?”— he B makin’ whoop-ee! Long, Long Ago Out of the 30 children that started in the first grade in 1940, a third remain to graduate with us— Bob Bivens, Nicky Harrison, Lowell Fuhrman, Morton Jones, Kay West, Marie Henry, Fred Schanke, Barbara Whigam, Ernestine Stockalper and Callaway Baker. When the next year rolled around, LoWayne Kay joined us from La Habra, and in the 3rd grade we acquired Margaret Hancock from Minden, Louisiana. Patricia Cook came from Los Angeles in the 4th grade, Eva Rivers from Escondido, Cesario Martinez from Colton, and Eileen McDonald from Glendale enlarged our 6th grade. Ellen Brown from Los Angeles; John Hartwell from San Diego; Dwight Miller from Lincoln, Nebraska; Mary Jo Smith from National City, and Wayne Hill from Coronado arrived in the 7th grade. Cheryl Kerr from Escondido and Gloria Hughes from Boston came in the 8th grade, giving us a total of 42 students, the largest class as yet to graduate into Ramona High. Jackie Batte, Pacific Beach, and Boris Dobrotin from Sunland, joined us in time for our Freshman Reception. We had a barn dance soon after and spent our profit the next week on a class party. Our class participated in the Carnival and ended the year with a beach party at Oceanside. Arriving in time to help us give the freshmen a bad time at their Reception, were Dick Dougherty from Redlands, Joan Evans from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Mervin Huston from Coachila. Besides participating in the Carnival, we had a skating party and a beach party. Seniors at last! Complete with maroon and gray sweaters to prove it. With our sweaters came Ardith Cole from Turlock, Marilyn Morris from Covina, c nd Ann Bowen from Escondido. We worked on the Annual, gave a Senior Ploy and then came Ditch Day. The Juniors honored us at the Junior-Senior Prom, and then the day of days . . . Graduation. So in parting we say, So long, it's been good to know ya! Our Junior rings arrived almost as soon as we did. We hod another skating party before we settled down to work on the Junior-Senior Prom and sponsor a booth at the Carnival.

Class Prophecy Auld Lang Syne Up the street from Marie's Drug store, Ellen Brown and Gloria Hughes opened a Restaurant. Gloria serves the meals and Ellen works at the fountain making her special hot chocolate, strawberry, double decker sundaes. Up the street from Gloria and Ellen, Eileen Mc- Donald has an exclusive dress shop. Her specialty is designing cheerleading outfits for the High Schools in California. Next to Eileen's Mary Jo Smith has leased the old Turkey Inn for a dance studio. The old Ramona theater has been remodeled and is now a burlesque owned and operated by Bobby Bivens. He selects his chorus girls personally. Fred Schanke owns o charm school where the Snack Shack used to be. Fred told me that Ernestine Stockalper is his beauty expert and Joan Evans is his lecturer on How to catch a college man in 5 easy lessons. He also said that Cesario Martinez is lectur- ing on how to peroxide hair beautifully. When I left Fred, I ran into Kay West, and he told me that he is now writing Advice to the Lovelorn for the Ramona Sentinel. He also told me Morton Jones is the owner and Dwight Miller covers the Men's Society Circle. Down the street Boomer Huston has a used car lot on which he is trying to sell a beat up old 1951 Ford. Barbara Whigham is his chief saleswoman. Boomie is the only person in town who employs women only. On my trip back home I couldn't go away without visiting my dear old school. I found out that Marilyn Morris is the new Superintendent, Dean White is the Dean of Boys and Jackie Batte is the Dean of Girls. Ann Bowen is the P.E. teacher and LoWayne Kay is the Arts and Crafts teacher. Marilyn told me that the school board members were coming and she thought that I would like to see them. When they walked in I saw John Hartwell, Nicky Harrison, Eva Rivers, Ardith Cole and Wayne Hill. Dick Dougherty is the Vice-President of Boris Debrotin's chemical plant just south of Ramona The critical world situation cut my visit to Ramona short, but I enjoyed seeing everyone again. 21
