Class History We Build the Ladder on Which We Climb” As we the Senior Class depart, we look back over our years of high school, and suddenly our class motto comes into our minds: We Build the Ladder on Which We Climb.” Looking back through the years we find we have gone a long way on that ladder, since that fall of 1947 when we bore the title, Freshmen. The year went rapidly, but we shall always remember it as a year filled with success. We have added one more rung to our ladder for now we are Sophomores. We were no longer green freshmen, we were now sophisticated, ambitious, and industrious Sophomores. We can remember this year quite vividly, because we were entering our sports and activities with whole-hearted enthusiasm. That year soon came to a close, and together we climbed still higher on our ladder to become Juniors. Can anyone ever forget their Junior year in high school? This was a year above all others. It was brimmed with one continuous round of activities and studies. We shall never forget the play, the dances, football and basketball games and all the miny other things that made that year pass even more quickly than any of the rest, we were truly in the heart of high school. e Now we are Seniors, and as we remember our high school days, we shall think of them only, as being successful and happy years. As this our final year in high school draws to a close, we shall leave our books and our activities, but we shall never leave our motto behind. We will continue to climb our ladder to future success and future happiness. 19 La SALT1ANNA 195 1

Class Prophecy I had been requested to attend a teachers convention in New York City. I was packing my suitcase when I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door to find a uniformed policeman, Joe Vatter, standing before me. We were talking of old times when he said he had been asked to escort me to the airport. On our way he told me of the success of Ted Guzz and Ronny Clawson in the sports world. He said Ronny had been noted as the Most Valuable Player in the National League Baseball Association three years in succession. Ted Guzz, who entered another field of sports, was the outstanding player of the Pittsburgh Steelers football team. It was a long drive to the airport and as we went along I noticed a large farm. I asked Joe if he knew who owned it. Joe replied that it was owned by Merle Clawson, a '51 classmate who had already made over one million dollars on beef cattle. At long last we reached the airport and I saw the B-35, in which I was to go to New York, warming up. At the controls was Mark Stepic and beside him was his hostess, Mary T. It was a long flight to New York so enroute we were shown movies. Midway through the movies I noticed the leading part was played by Harold C. Harold was making out very well in the movies. After this movie they showed a short movie about Alaskan hunting. To my surprise I recognized the owner of a lodge as Albert Matson. After the movies the lights were turned on and as I glanced around the plane I noticed Donald Roland. I went over and had a pleasant chat with him. He told me he had been invited to the convention also. Mary, Don, and I talked of old times at S.H.S. and of our old school chums. Mary said she knew that June Reedy and Elnora Pratt were beauty-shop operators and Lois Treece, Marilyn Hazlett, and Patty Gros-klos were happily married. Don gave his report in which he said that Dotty M. had a job demonstrating Royal Typewriters and Martha Bash and Ruth Vought were secretaries with the United Nations. I told them of Sara Hitchings being appointed to the Senate. We were just finishing our talk when Mark told us to fasten our safety-belts for the landing. As we landed at Weimer Airfield, the President of Weimer Airlines, John Weimer, came to the plane to greet us. John said he had called Albert Fenili, President of the Fenili Rent-a-Car Company, and asked him to send out an auto to take Don and me to the Convention. We drove past the Johns Department Store, owned by Norma Johns. We pulled up in front of the convention headquarters where we were greeted by Professors James Soler, Nick Shayka, and Wiliam Shirley. Before the meeting we were led in prayer by Reverend Earl Harshbarger. After the meeting a banquet was held at the Green Cap, the nightclub owned by Bernice Morton and Martha Horner. Special Service Agent Lucille Stein, of the F.B.I. was assigned to guard our hats and coats. I checked to see if all my old schoolmates were listed and found that Rose Forney, who owns a large hotel in Florida, was absent. Now that I have all the class of 51 accounted for I may go back to my career of teaching. Until I am again called to report on the progress of the Class of 51, I will say goodbye.
