Finally we became the mighty seniors of '51. Class officers for the final year were president, Dale Lucas; vice-president, Emery Burgess, who later in the year quit school,and Ronnie Schinzel was elected to fill the office; secretary, Virginia Alt; treasurer, Pal Lyon; and student council representative, Jlee Miller. This year nev courses introduced in the school were vocational ag. and home economics. The faculty for this year was superintendent Richard Boyd; principal, Mrs. Young, English and Journalism teacher;Alfred TietJen,history teacher;» Mrs. Boyd, typing and speech teacher; Coach Haberman, geometry teacher; Wallace Steiglemeyer, vocational ag. teacher; and Mrs. Alta Bland, home economics teacher. Some memories of this outstanding year were the freshmen mixer, the arrival of name cards and announcements, the senior pictures taken in Co- lumbus, the compiling of the annual, the Junior-senior banquet, the senior play, SNEAK DAY, and of course, recognition, baccalaurette, and Commence- ment. Thus we conclude the history of our high school career. CLASS PROPHECY It is the year of 1965,that I, Kathleen Kuhnel, decide to take a long vacation and to look up my old classmates of '51 • I pack myself into my Supersonic Atomic Cadillac and rocket off to New York City. One evening while there I decide to attend a roller skating tournament at Madison Square Garden. Whom do I see but Lois Carter, as the main performer. She is competing with Gloria Nord for the world's championship crown. Lois al- ways did spend most of her time at a roller skating rink. From New York I start west. As I grow tired of the scenery, I decide to tune in on my television set, recently installed in my Cadillac. As station XYZ becomes clear, I see an opera program. Look It isn't.' J J.' Yes, it is Norma Jean Gable singing her favorite song, I Didn't Know the Gun Was Loaded. After miles of rocketing along, my attention is drawn to the surround- ing country. It seems strangely familiar, though I cannot tell why. Then before my very eyes I see a sign along the road. It reads Shelby, popu- lation 2 million. Well, if it isn't my own home town.' The same town I had grown up in. It seems that the town has grown up a little too. Sud- denly I hear a sputtering noise coming from my Supersonic Atomic Cadillac and discover that I am out of atomic energy. Quickly I dart into a near by neat station. And what a station.' As the attendant steps out I find she is none other than, ray old classmate, Marlene Krebabach. I chat a- while with Marlene about the good old school days. It seems that the sta- tion was formerly run by her father, but since Marlene attracted more at- tention he let her take over. Marlene tells me that Gail Gonnerman is still a bachelor, so I go to the north part of town to look him up. I find he is raising hundreds of cattle on his farm,and is one of the prize winning farmers in Polk County. As I speed through Osceola, on my way to points farther west, I stop to ask a man if he knows where Pal Lyon lives. He tells me, so I hurry out to a farm and go to the house. I knock, nobody answers, I knock again.
