SEHIUH ULHSS PHUPHECU It is the year 1961 as we take off from Russia on our Atomic Bomb. We zoom down to the United States to see what the Seniors of 1951 are doing. We pass over an Ohio Power line and who do we see on top but James Russell Nloorman. We fly low so we can talk to him. He tells us that he is still a bachelor after all the trying Barbara did to get him. He is the pres- ident of the Ohio Power Company, just as he was president of our class for all four years in High School. He is checking the work of our ex-vice-pres- ident David Herminghuysen, who works for him. Dave is married to Mary Ellen Ritchie and has four children, he lives near Van Wert. Enough of them for now, we decide to get some tomato juice as we are thirsty, so we go to the St. Mary's Packing Company where we find our old classmate Roger Snyder. He is now foreman of the plant. He is very happily married to Delores and they have three children. We travel on out East Lincoln Highway till we come to a big mansion where we find Jean Geisman and Mrs. Geisman, the former Arlene Perry, residing with their two children. They are in the middle of dinner so we shall travel on. Our next stop finds us out west of town, where we see a couple of little children running around. We stop and who do we find but our former class- mate and secretary, Helen Dunifon, now Mrs. Ralph Schaadt. They have a 400 acre farm and are very happy with their family. We journey on. Now we go to Grover Hill, where we find Mr. and Mrs. Ronnie Miller, the former Carlotta Eaken. They have a nice little family, a boy and a girl, Ronnie Ir. and Cecile, they are engaged in farnuing and since they are so busy we will take our leave. We now travel to Columbus, to Shady View Drive, where resides Coach and Mrs. Roger Sherman, the former Marilyn Youtsey, Roger is coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes,they have won all the games since he became coach. They have two children. Marilyn helps with the dramatics classes at the University. They are getting ready to leave for a big game with SMU. So we will leave as we do not have time to stay for the football game. We come back to Van Wert,to 116, where we see a smallwhite bungalow, in which lives Mr. and Mrs, Wayne Mager, the former Patty Gillespie. They started early as theywere engaged in our Senior year. Patty is a sculpturess. They have a boy and girl, Wayne is engaged in the business of farming. Patty is going to visit her neighbor so we will zoom off. We now come to Hoaglin-Jackson where we find the last of our class- mates. The former Barbara Hines, now Mrs. Art Brown.Arthur has a garage of his own, and Barbara helps him when she is not taking Care of her five children. She is very happy. Well, that ends our visit with the Seniors of 1951.50 let's cheat and turn the Bomb back to Russia, although they sent us over to blow up the U. S. Let's fool 'em. BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
