ssmon cLAss HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR: In the fall Of 1954 eighteen freshr men entered Ridge High School. The courses of agricul- ture,commercial, and college preparatory were well rep- resented. At the close of the school year we were very proud of Edith Walser who received first in the Latin I elimination test. SOPHOMOHE YEAR: At the beginning of the sophomore year the class had decreased by several. We were very glad to be able to elect officers which we carried out in parlimentary procedure. Milford Holland was elected president,with Miss Jones acting as class adviser. Our year was climaxed with a bunco party in May at the home of Evelyn Engle. JUNIOR YEAR: The junior year held more in store for us and it was a very interesting year. The follow- ing officers were elected: Milford Holland,Prsidentg Pauline Haines, Vice-presidentg and Erma Tribclet, Sec- retary-Treasurerg with Miss Englehard as class adviser. In October we were entertained with a Hallow'en party at the home of Helen E. Boyd. Games and a treasure hunt made a most enjoyable evening. HMiss Adventureu, the class play, was presented to a large audience on November 7. In the elimination test Pauline Haines won second in biology. SENIOR YEAR: In September, l937,dH1teen students were proud to be called seniors. To the girls' disap- pointment, though, it was the same small number of two boys. The class officers elected were: Charles Knit- tle, President, Pauline Haines, Vice-presidentg Evelyn Engle, Secretary-Treasurerg Edith Walser, Class Repor- ter, with Mr. Moser serving as adviser. In November we entertained the juniors with a par ty at the schoolhouse. nMama's Baby Boyn gave us our last opportunity to perform before our classmates. In the play we so obviously forgot our roles as seniors that it was hard to picture our solemn group a few weeks later receiving our diplomas. We were pleasant- ly entertained by the Juniors on May I5 at the Junior- Senior Prom, a gala affair for all. The senior girls won the intermural trophy for four years and now the names are enscribed on it and it is truly ours. Ann Flaherty was girls' basketball captain and was also a peony queen candidate. Charles Knittle was boys' basketball captain and also had the honor of having his idea published in the UNew Idean farm magazine. The baccalaureate was given on May 22 with Rever- end Snyder of St. Marks Lutheran Church as the speaken For commencement on May 25, Paul Barrett, was speaker. The finale was a trip to Put-in-Bay.

CLASS PROPHECY The sun descended on our covered wagon, a crude and slow means of transportation but the most suitable for the journey to the Northwest Territory. As pioneers we bravely face many perils on our journey. We prepared ourselves for the night, hoping no Ind- ians would visit us and disturb our slumbers for we like to sleep. My friends call me Rip Van Winkle, the Second He, of course, just slept for twenty years. I have his record broken. One time we went to sleep coming from England and awakened just in time for the Revolutionary Warf Oh, hum, I'm getting sleepy. I wonder what will be taking place when I next awaken? KSleep comes and all is forgottenl. Another day dawned and as I looked around I triedtm remember, Uwhere are the Alleghany Mountains and where are the crude facilities we once knew? What is this lux- urious means of transportation?U A faint voice from in front informed me, This is the Covered Wagon of l958.H nl958!U I exclaimed, UWhat's so, important about this year that I should awaken?H uNearby in Ridge School a class of eleven girls and two boys are graduating,U was the reply. HI need more sleep,U I yawned, and rolled over on my luxurious bed and continued my slumbers as theCbvcreC Wagon of l958 traveled along. Crash! With a jolt I was awakened. HAn accident! Get his license numberlu cried my companion. I went to get the license number. I stopped with astonishment,--the license plate was marked 1950. Twelve years had passed since I had awakened at Ridge School. That thought was in my mind as w? were being taken to the hospital to have minor injuries taken care of. UE1even girls and two boys was the number my companion had said,--I really should have stopped to see them. Won- derwhat they're doing now?H Stopping the automobile,we found ourselves in front of a magnificent white stone structure which bore the name of Haines Hospital. A nurse ushered us into a room where there was an operating table with shaded lamps which cast their reflections on Pauline Haines whose face is now outlined with patience and endurance. After minor cuts and bruises were taken care of,we wandered down the hall until we came to a room where Lois Uneapher was tale ing the pulse of Virginia Taylor, a socialite, who had been operated on for gallstoncs recently. Lois seemed to be in a great rush as her next patient was a handsome young man, she had to count his pulse twice because she said the first time she held his hand too long. In an- ll
