Highlights In Review We entered in the fall of '45 under the never ending name of “green freshies”. We had the usual initiation which really wasn’t too bad. Who said that? During this year we had two parties. One was a “come as you are” party and the other a wiener roast and hayride. Phyllis Hiatt was our president for this year and Mr. Waitt and Miss Kohlmeyer were our sponsors. Our sophomore year was not too eventful. This year we elected Wendell Dillinger as our president. We had a hayride and sponsored a few dances after the ball games. The junior year was the year that things started clicking. First we re-elected Wendell Dillinger as president. Next we chose our class rings which we received February 10. To boost our treasury, we sold pop and popcorn at the ball games. The junior class was pretty well represented in football that year. We gave a play, “Stranger in the Night”, April 20, under the direction of Miss Padgett. April 23 we had the Junior and Senior Banquet at the Shelter House. The Harlin Brothers furnished us with entertainment. The seniors graduated May 20 to make room for us. Now we are seniors! The freshmen seemed so pleased to see us that they turned and ran the other way! Anyway, we had initiation September 2. We had election of officers again and re-elected Wendell Dillinger as president for the 3rd time. Next we had tryouts for the play and gave it November 30, with Miss Padgett directing us. The name of it was “A Lucky Penny.” Pictures were taken at Ayres’ and received, in time for Christmas. Name cards were ordered and received, measurements were taken for caps and gowns, and orders for invitations were taken. I don’t think the seniors forgot any of their relatives. Our class motto is “To the Stars Through Difficulties”, our colors are blue and yellow, and the class flower is a yellow rose. We went on our trip May 7th and then the Baccalaureate was May 15 and Commencement, May 16.

The Future? Ah! Yes, The Future By Roberta Wallace The year is 1969. Mi. Hobbs, a retired basketball coach-principal, has taken up the hobby of checking up on the former students. We now find him taking off in his new jet plane to view the remains of the class of “49. Landing in New York at the La Guardia Airport, he finds John McDonald managing the field ant! sketching pictures for Esquire as a hobby. Hailing a taxi, but seeing that the driver is Red Mendenhall, he suddenly becomes an ardent pedestrian. Strolling down Fifth Avenue, he is enticed by the odiferous fumes of popcorn drifting in the breeze. He finds none other than Dale Wright running the machine to make a living for his hungry family. Nibbling on his popcorn and strolling further, he wanders into a dress shop owned by Gale Young. Working for Gale as store manager is the ambitious Don Harvey. After purchasing a few things for his wife, he strolls down the street into the “Diamond Horseshoe for his evening meal. Glancing around, he notices Humpy Campbell tossing dishes toward the kitchen. Then suddenly he is startled by a blast on a trumpet! He quickly turns toward the orchestra just in time to sec Phillip Billingsley step toward the microphone to begin a sax solo. Feeling a breeze, his attention turns to the left just as the can-can chorus zooms down the runway. After regaining consciousness, he notices Janet More-dock in the center of the first row. After enjoying a very delicious meal, he decides to retire to his suite in order to get an early start in the morning. I lis first stop after leaving New York is Chicago, where he was told that Vera Wallace and Martha Baird own a “Five Ten Store. Hhc finds them both in the best of health and doing very well in their business. Leaving Chicago, his jet then takes him to Salt Lake City, where the mayor, which is our own Tom Pickett, meets him ar the landing field. For a pastime, Tom plays his multichord on a program of his own over Station SMILE, sponsored by Pcpsodcnt. While he is in town, he decides to go to church before continuing his trip. Stepping into the First Mormon Church, he is greeted at the door by Brother and Mrs. William Kin-kcad. Mrs. Kinkcad is the former Kathleen Brandenburg. Continuing his journey, he zooms to Alaska to spend a day or so. Looking over the country, he runs across Jim Ross and Richard Henderson who bummed their way up on a freighter and arc now digging for gold. He is told by Jim and Richard that Norris McKinney lives on a mountain top and has devoted his life to rewriting the Webster Dictionary. Mr. Hobbs then returns to the United States, where he stops in the State of Washington to look over what is now the largest lumber camp in the U.S. To his surprise, the camp is now owned and operated by James Johnson, Arnold Pettigrew, and Kcrmit Paddack. Relaxing by the fire in their cabin, and listening to the radio, they hear the voice of Veda Owen singing a commercial which is advertising “Five Carnations,” a new kind of beer which is hic-cough proof. This great discovery was made by Kenneth Carlisle. The following morning he journeys to California to see Wendell Dillingcr. Wendell tells him that after traveling for several years, he decided to settle there. He is now president of the Public Utilities Division which is something to be very proud of. It just so happens that Mr. Hobbs is also in time to sec the Rose Bowl game where Purdue is playing the University of California. Johnny Wright is now head coach for Purdue and playing for him is Jack Bishop, Jr., the son of the former Hildreth Cox. Hlidreth and Jack arc now living on a small farm west of Center. Also in Johnny’s lineup arc the three speedy Pitts boys. The boys inform Mr. Hobbs that Harold is still playing professional ball in Indianapolis and hasn’t lost his technique a bit. After the game he stops off at the most famous soda fountain in the world, “THE SODA FLOAT INN, which is owned by three licensed squirtitions, Virginia Nicholson. Mary Fisher, and Roberta Wallace. Many famous celebrities enjoy the ice cream fantasies created by them. After his refreshment, Mr. Hobbs boards his jet and decides to go to Hawaii. Arriving in Honolulu and inquiring about the city, he learns that Don Glenn has been teaching chemistry to Hawaiian girls for years. On the way back to his plane he suddenly notices a basket weaver on the street corner, who l x ks like someone that he knows. Getting a little closer he recognizes our own “Lightning Henley. Even though Jack is very busy weaving, he is glad to chat for a while with his favorite principal. Next, his mind wanders tc the romantic South America, so off he goes to see if any of the class has wandered down there. He has heard rumors that Barbara Stafford was in Argentina, so that is his first stop. Buenos Aires is very lively and the people arc extremely friendly, so it doesn’t take long to locate Barbara. She is now married and is working to support her husband by selling coffee beans to the visitors who pass through. During his return to the States, he decides to look over the Panama Canal, which he has never seen. Landing his plane in the nearest field and starting toward the house to make sure that his plane will be safe in its landing place, Mr. Hobbs is pursued by a tall farmer with a heavy beard and big feet. However, after getting close enough to see who it was under the beard, he recognizes Kenneth Cline, who tells Mr. Hobbs that he has taken up farming, since it is the only thing that he knows how to do. Kenny also tells Mr. Hobbs that Billy Davis is now a very important man due to his assignment to the Canal Zone by the Secretary of Commerce.
