f 2 V ,N 2 l 1 X r 1 N .XX Z - In the fall of 1944, 32. little boys and girls bravely entered the first grade to start their 12. long years of schooling under the skillful guidance of Mrs. Brooks. She taught us what all beginners should know and passed us to the second grade. The first day of our second year,we wore expressions of satis- faction on our faces. We knew all there was to know, we thought. Much to our surprise, with Mrs. Sommers as our teacher we learned something. We didn't know as much as we thought we did. With the second grade now safely behind, we faced the third grade nervously. We shared a common problem---would we like our new teacher? Sure we did, Mrs. Nelson made our third year very pleasant. During our fourth year, we began to realize that it was fun to have boyfriends or girlfriends. I remember that some of the girls even fought over a certain boy. Although our busy little minds did some wandering, Mrs. Robinson managed to pound afourth grader's knowledge into our heads. Just think,amanby the name of Mr. Casey, was going to be our 5th grade teacher! During this year many of our class matesjoin- ed the high school band. In our sixth year, we were all very happy to have Miss Little as our teacher. With six long years of toil behind us, we started on the last lap of schooling. We looked and felt like midgets the first few weeks of school. By watching our superior seniors, we learned how to act. KNot reallylj In the eighth year, we were used to having no recesses and changing classes every period. At last we were through the eighth grade and ready for high school. Boy did we think that we were important! Our first year of high school started off with a bang. We all survived initiation, much to our surprise. As tenth graders we got our class sweaters and now felt that the high school was really our castle. This year we could leave the school grounds for a class party, so what did we do? We had a hay ride. In the eleventh year we were able to initiate the freshmen or greenies as they're called. We received our class rings, which some boys and girls gave away soon. At long last the twelfth year rolled around and all too soon for most of the thirteen seniors in the class. We received our diplo- mas with heavy hearts but with the knowledge that all of our patient X teachers had taught us and had helped to prepare us for maturity. We lookforward to a wonderful senior trip before breaking our final ties with school and going out to face the world and accept our roles as adults. Carol Keen 2 Carol Hensler fx If' ff? Wim X

As we were walking down the midway of the Jasper County Fair, we decided to go .into a fortune tel1er's booth. We asked her if she would gaze into her crystal ball and tell us of the class of 56 . Appearing first through a foggy haze came Dick Byrd. After gradu- ation he was employed at Crystal Dairy, where he worked his way up to be President of the National Pure Milk Association. Next came his wife, the former Carol Hensler, who is living in New York City in their Wal- dorf Astoria Penthouse Apartment, with their five sons. The next vision was that of Carol Keen. Of course she became a professional nurse. She later married a tall, dark, handsome and very rich doctor. Next was Richard Longest who is host at the Stork Club. He has the great priviliege of interviewing all the great people who come thereg he says his most interesting and thrilling interview was with Marilyn Mon- roe. Now through the pink cloud came Gary Lynch who is the president of General Motors Coproration. Standing beside him was dark-haired wife, the former Betty Blaisdell. Paul May is a very successful veterinarian,and he owns the world's largest veterinarian hospital. He married Punki Bond, and their family consists of five children, 15 cats, and ZZ dogs. After editing a very successful senior yearbook Max Nelson now owns his own printing shop. lncidental1y,his private secretary is Linda Porter who is now known by the name of Mrs. Nelson. Now peering into the crystal ball,we see Duke Nichols. She gave up the idea of becoming an elementary teacher and is now designing shoes for the royal women of England in her spare time. Most of the time she is busy taking care of her family. Guess who she married? Now a dim, but known, face appears. It is the face of Donna Saltwell the personal secretary ot the President of the United States. Next is Kay Ware: She is now playing in the Chicago Symphony. She has made two trips around the world and later is planning to join Jack LeBeau in Africa with his drums. Next in sight is Jack Le Beau. He obtained world wide fame with his famous drums, especially in Africa. As everyone predicted, Marjorie Wilson married Ralph Tarter and is living in Kentucky in their southern mansion with their two girls. Instead of raising pigs and cows as everyone thought he would, Francis Yates is now a famous south-pawfor the Chicago White Sox. By the way, they won the World Series this yearg and guess who was pitching ? fF.Y.J The vision begins to fade as the class of 56 passes from view. They may be gone but not forgotten.
