CLASS HISTORY As we turn back the clock, and peer into thc past we see dimly a crowd of Freshies in Smith- ville High. Ah-it is the Class of 50, but how bashful, how clumsy they seem to be.

CLASS PROFHECY Kathryn Bahl, the world wide known pianist has returned to her former residence, Smith- ville, and is giving a banquet for her fellow classmates, graduates of 1950. It is the night of the reunion and who should arrive, but Bob Snoddy. Bob has been playing professional basketball and is now with the Minneapolis Lakers and has gotten to see a lot of the U. S. He is not yet married. Next to arrive is a strange sextette, Mildred Fleming, Mary Lou Hoffer, Marlene Roth, John Robert Smucker, Dave Moore and Lloyd Indemuhle. Marlene and Mary Lou are owners of the Roffer Holstein Farms with John as manager. Lloyd and Dave are owners of dlndermoore Farms who raise Jersey cattle. You'd think there would be a little rivalry between the two, but there seems to be none. Millie is dietitian at Indermoore Farms. We wonder if she is getting good pay or if something else is holding her there. We now catch sight of Mr. and Mrs. Wendel Olinger, the former Beulah Grove. When we asked them where their three children were, they said, At home with a baby sitter. They also said their children were being taught by one of our classmates, Ethel Zuercher. We're sure they will be taught right. Oh, yes, Wendel is now president of the 50 acre Wooster Rubber Plant. Margaret Marthey and Berneice Zook are still running around together because they just drove up in Berneice's Buick. Berneice, you know, is an expert on fashions. She is Mistress of Ceremonies on the new television show, Madam Zook's Fashion Show for Fat and Happy Women. Margaret is also very famous because she has become a Powell model and her face has appeared in many magazines, including Nature As we look around the huge room, we see it has been decorated beautifully by Myrtle Irvin who has her own shop now. The brains of the class have certainly gone places. Richard Miller is Professor of Study- ology at Harvard, something that he invented himself. Mary Jean Troyer is Dean of Women at the College of Smithville. All at once we hear a call, Make way for the Governor! And who should walk in but Art Schrock and his efficient secretary, June Miller. They have both gone a long: way. Next to arrive is Elmer Eberly, the able president of the Coal Miner's Union, who was elected to this office following the suicide of John L. Lewis. As our glance crosses the room, it rests upon the worried face of Annabelle Conrad. She is now head matron at Smithville Orphanage. With her are her able helpers, Freda Gordon and Gale Blouglh, who are doing a wonderful job. When we ask her why the worried frown, she replies that she didnt get to tuck all the children in bed and she isn't sure that they all said their prayers. She loves them all as if they were her own. Next we meet Jim Nettleton, who, as you know is the inventor and manufacturer of the Han- dy Dandy Hay Thrower Offer. We start asking him about it when there is a roar and a crash and after ia few minutes, Ellen Donaldson staggers into the room, followed by Patti Bell, President of all Airline hostesses, with her smelling salts and paper cup, Nurse Etta Mae Swisher quickly rushes .to her Slde and after making a hasty examination, announces her as all right. Ellen, you know, is the first woman pilot for the Trans World Air Lines and for all we know, the last. As we turn around, we come face to face with Jim Christian, the world traveler. We find out that he's been about everywhere including a trip to Mars and Crab Island, an island for bachelors founded by Dale Blough. We hear someone talking about an Old Maid's Society and find out that it is the society's presi- dent, Jean Moser. There is only one catch to this though, Jean was married last month. Wheel Do you see that snazzy couple that just arrived? It is the one and only Jim Beck and his wife Lydia Rockefeller. Before the night is over we must congratulate Jim on his catch, The butler now announces dinner and as we make our way to the huge dining room, we meet up with two more bachelors of our class, Al Brueck and Olin Collins. Olin is Game Warden at Mohican Park, and Al is head butcher at Shellers. After everyone is seated comfortably around the huge table, the Reverend James Phillips is asked to say grace. Jim isa now minister at the ten million dollar Methodist church recently com- pleted in Yellowstone National Park overlooking Old Faithful. The delicious banquet has been prepared and is served by June Rudy and Bill Beeler, who have taken over Reining's at Smithville since Mr. Reining has opened a new branch of his famous res- taurant Smithville Inn in Radio City, New York. There is a commotion at the head of the table where Mr. Bleadingheiser, our aged sponsor, is sitting. Nurse Etta Mae Swisher rushes to his side and skillfully rescues his dentures on which he was choking. Kati has secured for our entertainment the best talent obtainable in the United States. Jim Burkholder, who has taken Milton Berle's place in television and Anna Bell Hill, famous bal- let dancer from Akron. The performance was magnificent and the members of the class showed their appreciation by a thunderous applause. Following this, the class gave a rising vote of thanks to Nancy Lytle, Editor-in-Chief of the publications of Lytle's Dramatic Readings Inc. whose efforts as corresponding secretary have made it possible for the members of the class to keep informed concerning the activities of each other and who has done a mountainous amount of letter writing to bring about this momentous re- union.
