,Hari Will? IIIASS PIHIPHHIY After four ,ears of college and six years of studying music abroad, I decided to cone back to the Stat s and visit my old home town Before I left, however, I decided to take in the Olympic track meet, which was b ing held in London There I saw Eva Clemons, star woman track represen tative from the U S Eva always was one of Mrs Delaney's prize athletes When I boarded my ship, the Queen Victoria, I was very surprised to find that the commander of this new stream liner was Paul Fath It is really not strange to find Red sailing the seas, however, because he used to be very liquid minded back in school Remember9 During the trip across, the ocean became very rough, and I became very ill, so I traveled down to the sick bay There I met Bertha Jones, R N , who head supervisor of the infirmary She had Ruth Latimer, dietitian, make up a special diet, and everything turned out 99999 all right These two make excellent team, both well skilled in their particular fields. Later that evening, I turned on my short wave radio and lo! and behold! John Honerlaw's voice came over the loud speaker. He is now the Uemceen for the well-established UVoice of American pro- gram which, by the way, is directed by Gene Horner. When we reached New York, I decided to look around a bit. I went through Columbia University first, where I saw two of my old classmates: Jack Gower, who is the uHlV6FS1ty'S new president, and Jane Beekley, who is teaching Latin. Jane, who was the Nquiz kidn of our class gained note for her recent translation of Cicero, The next stop in my tour was the Bronx Zoo. As I gazed on the grand new buildings which,by the way, were designed by that noted architect, Bill Rogers, I noticed an announcement of a wild animal show It was Eloise Berchtold and twelve of her trained lions Since high school, Eloise has given up snakes, and gone all out for big game That evening when I returned to my hotel, I turned on the television set and switched to the WCavalcade of Bandsn program There, to my utter amazement was Kenny Taylor and his nMariemont Fiven, playing their theme song nCres cent Moon W Also the guest star that evening was the popular crooner, Ray Hendrix The next morning when I was buying my ticket for the flight to Cincinnati, I saw Sybil Quackenbush, private secre tary to Buddy Williams, who is president T W I remember when Buddy used to nTake Offn a lot even during school When I boarded my plane, I was aided by a very efficient stewardess, Mary Duermit She and her giggles get along fine with the flying business On the plane, I was seated next to a young gentleman, whom I instantly recognized as H. R. Sweigart. He is a reporter in the field for the Cincy Times-Star, and had just interviewed Jack Chalk, famous left-fielder for the New York Giants. And, by the way, Jack seems to have sprouted at last, and is now 6' ZW. Later I learned that Mary Dell Hesse is holding the job of chief photographer at the Times-Star, and prov- ing herself a valuable asset, We remember Mary Dell's snapshots for the annual. When I arrived in Cincinnati, I was met with a beautiful bouquet of roses, CAvondale Floral Co., Miss Alice Meyers, Prop.l and a few of the working girls from our 1951 class, the Misses Joyce Whitaker, Lucille Hasty, and Jean Gil- land. Joyce is working now, although she is married and has four darling bald-headed little babies just like she was. Lucille is now manager of her own restaurant, and she manages to make ends fcontinued on page 1.51 .. A , . - r uoaqhh S:-gi 4, 1741- fr 1: QF' U !

I'1r-w fl. In. mug MASS PIHIPHHCY The date September LL, 19147, will probably go down in history as one of the most important days ever recorded You mean that you don't know what happened on that dayl I guess you know that America was discovered Oct l2, IM92 You probably also know why we celebrate July h but if you don't know what happened on H set thin s TPAT day, you had better get on the ball To g straight, on that eventful day forty seven freshmen began their illustrious high school careers It took us Just two weeks to let everyone know who was boss After a month,the boys had to hire bodyguards to keep those down trodden Jun or and senior girls away from them That Casanova, Red Fath,had to be careful never to be found walking alone in the hall, for fear he would be mobbed by gorgeous women If you re member, Red had beautiful curly hair then I remember how everybody came early and stood around the front door of the school gust to get a glimpse of us before vanished into the home room There were some lively ones in the class, too I wonder f Mr Forance ever found out who was placing those tacks on his seat in general science we always enjoyed the expression on his face when he sat down It never took Mr Forance very long to Hget to the point ' Eat at Joe's seemed to be the password of every freshman, and could be found on the window shade in Room 2 ure put there by an anonymous creat Our president was that handsome hunk of man, John Honerlaw CAhemD assisted by Jane Beekley, vice predident, and that mad moneymaker, Sybil Ouackenbush Our 'ophmore year, led by President Mary Dell Hess, Vice President Red Fath, and Treasurer Bertha Jones, proved rather un eventful except for two unfortunate happenings first, the addi- tion of Harold Royce Sweigart Cour class has vever been the same sinceb and second, the boys' unpleasant experience with Mrs Zost Qthey will long remember Mr Forance's chemical labj Let us pass on to the disatrous,yet the very best of all,our junior year Disatrous because of the many injuries received in football Best because of the many good times and our consolation prize in the tournament Our first big Prom! Everyone had the time of his life on April 29, a night never to be forgotten anyone who danced to the music of George Kasper's Orchestra in that lovely Oriental atmosphere I can tell vou the real reason why we won that consolation cup Did you ever notice what good friends Red, Blimp, and Clark Ballard Ctournament refereej are? Over at the Loveland basketball game Sed let out one of his fam ous 'calls: Ballard shouted to him, NTie up the Cow.H At least fficers were the crowd got a big charge out of it. Our class o Sybil Quackenbush, president, Jack Gower, Vice-President, Jane Beekley, Secretary, and John Honerlaw, Treasurer. This year's schedule is a heavy one, class pictures, trip to Washington and New York, graduation, and Jeepersl it really gives me the butterflies to think of graduation. You'll know what I mean when you are a senior. Ri ht now each and every senior wishes to thank all the S teachers who have taught us, for you have helped make us what we or eve one. From are today. When I say this I am speaking f ry the bottom of our hearts we wish everyone of you good luck and thank you. Some of you we may never see again so, once more we say good luck and goodbye.
