The second week we were here the Sophomores made us feel welcome by giving us a very nice t?i initiation. We resolved to get our revenge on the coming Freshman class. We found that we needed someone to guide and direct us, so we elected Miss Fannie Stout and Mr. Frank Mardis as our sponsors and Wilson Cooper as president; Carl Kamer as vice president; and Shirley Neff, Seeretary-treasurer. During the year several students decided they didn't need an educa- tion so we lost Louise Broaddus, Jean Broadus, William Helbig, Ray Druin, Nellie Craig, Bonnie Money, Delbert Vick, Clarence Goodman, Rosella Jonas, Mildred Smith and Dorothy Hook. Wilson Cooper moved to Jeffersonviiile, James Wiley moved to Elizabeth, and Edwin Hammett went out west to Montana. In 1945, numbering sixty-one, we returned to continue our quest for knowledge. This year we made it nice and easy for the Freshmen and didn't harm them too much by their initiation. We gave a barn dance for the ischool, with all the trimmings. Shirley Neff was elected as class president; Carl Kamer, vice pres- ident; and, Garnette Jones, secretary-treasurer. Our class sponsors were Mr. Martin and Mrs. Baker. This year Roy Hardy, James Fulkerson, A1 ice Hawes, Raymond Eberle, William Ransom, Melvin Armstrong, B111 Collier, Melvin Beyl and August Eckert, left to enter the working world. Charles Orman left to join the Navy, Carlouvna Woods moved south and Patricia Shelton moved to Jeffersonville. The following students entered our class: William Davis, Jeanette Case and Mary Case from Jeffersonville High School; Victoria Hart came from California; Mary Satterly withdrew from school for a year and then returned; and Bill Massie entered from Charlestown. As Jolly Juniors we came back to continue our education. We worked hard all year to get money for the Junior-Senior Prom. Herbert Van Pelt was chosen president; Carl Kamer as vice president; and Garnette Jones as secretary-treasurer. To direct us in doing the work, we selected Mrs. Baker and Mr. Andrews as class sponsors. We chose the Brown Hotel Roof Garden as the place for the Junior-Senior Prom. May 16 was set as the date for the Reception-Prom and we danced to the music of Johnny Burkhardt. James Wiley came back to be with us again and Daniel Vogel entered from Mt. St. Francis. Garnette Batty and Mary Case traded their diplomas for marriage licenses, William Davis left us to go south to work. Carl Dunn joined the marines. As dignified Seniors we numbered fifty-one. Herbert Van Pelt was gain chosen as class president; William Massie as vice president;Garnette Jones as secretary; and Raymond Stoner as treasurer. Mrs. Mayer, Mr.Hoban and Miss Standiford, were chosen as class sponsors, with Mr. McBride as ex officio. a- As our class motto we chose The Elevator to Success is not Running, Take the Stairs. Our Glass Flower is the White Carnation, and our Class Colors are White and Maroon. Mary Satterly and Jeanette Case Joined the matrimonial institutien, and Gladys Snider withdrew to enroll in the Columbus School system. The successful Class Play, Baccalaureate by Reverand Marsh of the Church of Christ, Student-Sponsored Commencement, and Senior Day, helped to make these four years at Silver Creek Memorable ones.

Coming down New Albany Boulevard past the Sellersburg Bank, I was breezing at a mere 95 m; p. h. In my new, TUrbe- Jet Adams Auto which was invented by a former classmate, Bobb Adams. Suddenly I heard the scream of a siren; then, a police car pulled up es de me and a famil- iar looking character jerked his thumb for me to pull over. After stopping, the character rushed up, shouting, What do you mean exceed- ing the 85 m. p. h. speed limit on this street? Looking up, I was about to re- ply when I saw thattmy so-called characv ter was 551 K0 . Both of us stared with stark amazemen ; then I fell out of the car into a hand-clasp that carried me back. fifteen years previous, through the portals of S.C.and its memories. Com- ing back into reality I heard Ray saying, Yes I have just been promoted to the Senior Lieutenancy of the Sellersburg P. D. Before I could say a word Ray de- clared, Come: Come: Go with me down to the Blue Room, Located at 113 New Albany Boulevard and have a bite to eat, and discuss the by-ways of which our class of 1948 havetfallen into. But what about my violation ticket? I said. Tut,Tut, forget it, Ray chuckled, with the same old carefree attitude, typical of S. C . days; furthermore, he added that after our dinner we could talk to some of our former classmates and find out what has happened to our class of 1948. ; ;mmwwmwmerm-w We climbed into our cars and a few seconds g$ W W's later we were strolling into the Blue Room and who m ,i't was there to take our hats but Victoria Hart, who, after exchanging greetings; informea uEIEEat she was averaging thirty-five dollars nightly from tips which obliging customers were only too willing to proffer. After being seated by J. Jones, the manager, whose ingenuity had given the pIace country-wide recognition and brought fame and fortune to Sel- lersburg and vicinity,we were served a roast chic- ken dinner, prepared by Leona Sam les and who should bring IE But Eustg Prather, the head waiter an bouncer, who had re- cently won the National Light Heavyweight Bouncers Championship at New York Madison Square Barden. There we discovered the great musician, William Massie, who had taken Spike Jones! place. He provided the entertainment with his jazz band and featured their most prominent artist, Mag: House, as vocalist. With this beau- tiful music as a backgrouna ana our coffee to mull over, I in- quired as to what had become of Cecil Baile , a great S. C. ath- elete in his day. Jonesy told me He he en Ed Diddle's place . as coach of the Western Basketball team which is rated first in the nation. I ask- ed what had ever become of the rest of our scholars of yore. Well, Ray chirped, Did you know that Wm. Woods directed the new motion picture hit, 'Too Dumb to Come Out of the RaiiTV which starred 0. Weber, the commedian, who this year was highest paid of the Hollywood elite. IIso, Hid you know that Alfred Sam les, yes, our own Alfred, has become head of the largest movie itheater chain n - e U. S. Well, I put in, I suppose you fellows know that ya. Dre er resigned as direc- tor of the Boston Symphony to become President of the NationaI Oboe Tooter's Guild but still has his famous Orchestra and his most loyal clarinet player, Jwayce Schaefer who has been with his band for 12 years. This informal conversat onwms suEHenIy climaxed as Ray exclaimed, Let's drop everything and take an inventory on the Alumni of '48. This was short notice but I readily agreed. 455 And so it was an enjoyable evening in Sellersburg after which we found ourselves traveling up 51 to the S. C. Nook in Speed and saw Shirle Po , owner of the S. C. Nook. After sitting and cEa ng awhile, who should come in but Ervin Pettit and Elmer P022 who were home on a vacation from ITricu where they own and operate an ostrich farm and are having a very success- ful business. We strolled back toward the dance floor and who did we see but Anita Smith who was now the charming spouse of Don Swartz, dancIng one of the lat- est Jitterbugs, Too Thin Polka. After refreshing with one of Shirley's concoctions, we decided to be on our way. Cruising between Speed and Memphis near Wimpys, I saw a car piled up against a tree. Evidently a dis- astrous accident had happened. Hopping out,I saw that its occupant was badly hurt; whereupon, I rushed into Wimpys and asked Glad s Hall, the waitress, where the telephone was. Seeing 1E IE the corner, I graHbed.it and in the heat of a panic called Herb Van Pelt, a veterinary, instead of Dann Vo e1 who was tHe famous Medical Doctor in this vicinity. Not having explaine e s uation to Herb 0 n the phone, he came on the run within a few minutes. After arriving, there was nothing he could do but administer all aid he kn25h4;:?;; 4 Later, we called Danny, but we feared he would get there toshiate. Due to Herb's horse-doctoring, the poor fellow expired, thus giving James Wile some timely trade as he was now the coroner of clerk county. Just as He was tak- ing the corpse away, Vogel, with Norma Ehrin er, his nurse, came driving up. Daniel saw that he was too late so He proceeaeg to call Jack Wamgler, owner of a Memphis Garage, to haul the wreck away. We felt that we had need of coffee so we proceeded back into Wimpys. Just then a short well-dressed man walked in that looked quite familiar to me. He spoke with a big grin upon his face and then I recognized it was our former Ral. h Grar. After we got through telling him why there were so many of our old IEEB cIassmates here together, I asked him what he was doing now, to which he replied, I am president of the Purity Maid Products Division at Bennettsville and I stop- ped to see if'they had any complaints or any corrections to be made on our pro- ducts. We asked him what happened to our classmates from Bennettsville and St. Joe. He told us that Alfred Yost was one of the superintendents of The Ford Motor Company at Detroit. He aIso said that Theodore Graf was an excellent pilot of an Eastern Airlines Transport and took passengers anywhere they wanted to go by Special charter plane. By this time we hadg spent the entire night and it was about seven o'clock in the morning. We decided this mode of travel was too slow so we backtracked to the airfield formerly known as Bush Aviation Enterprise at Jeffersonville, which is now run by Robert Bostock who is the husband of Doris Jenkins. When we 455 reached the airfield, we saw several sman.chil- dren playing around the hanger and took it for granted that they were little Bostocks. We walked into the office to inquire about our reservations and who was at the desk but Nancy Beck, who was the ticket clerk and was very EIEH to see us. She told us that Theodore would be ready for the take-off in one-half hour. While waiting for the plane to be readi- ed, we chatted with Nancy and found out that our muscle-man, Carl Kamer, was now owner of a 1,100-acre farm at St. Joe and had about twen- ty-five workers on his payroll. Just then, Theodore came in with a broad smile on his face which was typical of his younger days, and said, Hello, former classmates, it has been a long time since I have seen some of you. Are you ready for the hop? We climbed aboard the plane and in about one-half hour we were at the landing field in Chicago. In just a few minutes our taxi arrived to take us to our hotel and who do you think was the chauffeur? It was Robert Kahl. We asked him how business was since he had left us in '48. We also, asEeElIf he knew where any of our old chums were and what they were doing. Robert told us that we would find Bettg Batt at the Gregg Shorthand Institution; Tedd Brid ewater; Garnette Jones an E Ee saia we onIH have to see r5 nia Curtis at the University of Chicago, t em 0 fIna out how they were doing. After going to the hotel and getting a few hours of our much-needed.restmm started out for the University. When arriving, we inquired as to where we would find Garnette Jones. The man replied, You will find her on the third floor of the administration building. When we located our destination, what should we find on the door plaque but Dean Jones, private. Gingerly, we opened the dcaor and behind the receptionists desk, facing us was Marie ClaEE, who ushered us into Garnette's office, where after lengthy greetings, Garne e offered to accompany us to the observatory where Ted Bridgewater, by now a famous astronomer, had his high-powered telescopes and research rooms. After touring this soientists heaven, she took us to the language building and we talked for a short time to Virginia Curtis, the professor of English, who had obtained a Ph. D. in English and the Humanities since she left S. C. Lunch time was at hand so we sought food at a large restaurant near by and much to our surprise, we found we were patronizing the business of former June Brooks and husband twhose name we failed to secure!. While there we noticed a beautiful paint- ing on the wall. June informed us that it had been painted by Janet Ransom, the artist of our class. After finishing our meal, Garnette expressed a farewell and then started back to her work at the University. We caught the bus at the next corner for the Gregg Institution where, as we had learned earlier, Betty was located. Upon arriving, our informants proved correct, because we found Betty busy teaching a group of ambitious students the fundamentals of shorthand. We remained there, observing her methods of teaching and after class found out her experiences during the years since she had recei- ved her S. C. Sheepskin. Following a pleasant hour of talk we returned to our hotel for the night. We rose early the following morning and Theodore went back to his plane to get the motors warmed up for a take-off to Cincinnati. The trip was iJztime because we knew that Melvin Tobin was the President of the Zipo Pep PetroIeum Proaucts Company in Cin- cinnat1,which was famous throughaout the nation for its quality which was expressed in their motto , With Our 011 Your Car Won't Boil. Anyhow we were soon at the airport readyt for the hop. Soon we were in Cincinnati and were at Tobins Oil Com- pany. When we walked into the office who do you think we found as head accountant but the exp ert bookkeeper, Fred Henderson, and who was conversing with him? Why, RaIEE PFather, who was their best traveling salesman: They toId us some very inter- esting things, among these were that Lillian Ste was librarian at the city library and that she a told them that Shirle Nerf tDuponti had written to her, telling aII agout her married life and the existing conditions in Peru where she and her hus- bend, Mario Dupont, live and how well they were doing in the cement industry. After a long con- versation with them, we were disappointed by their telling us that Melvin was away on business at the time and could not see us. We left the company, feeling like we did the day the forty-eight of us stu- dents received our diplomas from S. C. and decided a good way to commemorate our informative trip was.to get a picture made of the ones that were with us. We set out to locate a reliable studio and after securing directions from a by- stander we proceeded there. To our great astonishment the photographer was Dou 1as Kranz, who in school days was an amateur, but now, a pioneer in the art of picture reproducing. After having a large number printed for our classmates we went to the post office to mail them to the ones we had visited and there we found the postmaster to be Veda Mosel , who had been in Government Service since wouIa graduation. She said that she rush the pictures into the mail as quickly as possible. We once again hit the road but this time in the direction of home because Bay had to get 'back to work. All was well until only a few miles of the jump remained. We heard a sput of the motor and were forced to land in a large field near Borden, because we had drifted ioff course. There, through the field came a little dog, yapping at the strange-looking midshipman setting in the field and a feminine voice calling here spot. It was then that we realized it was Ruth Keibler, from whom we found out that she had later married Jimmy Popp and tEEi ?EFE'iEking a profitable living in the tilling of mother earth. Findin that the lane could not be repaired without parts we rentedaear to go to Je f to get them and to our great astonishment, wheniwe reached the airport we found Ra mend Stoner, who was the Ma yor of Jeffersonville and Robert Grouse, who was the-XKEFIcEItire Agent of Clark County, at the airport g?ttiig . stions for a bi fishin tri f weeks! vacation. 3 a g p or which they were spending their two- .We talked with them awhile and told them of our tour of the class and we were all enthused hat the great height: to which all members of our class has climbed and each felt that the motto of our class, The Elo-g vator of Success Is Not Running, Take the Stairs, waa very appropriate and that each-member has been climb- ing and-would continue. , CLASS MOTTO: The EleVator of Success Is Not Running, V Take The.Stairs.
