HI TORY... The history of the class of 1955 is so drama- tic and colorful that it resembles a play. With your kind permission, I, as dramatic critic of the SPENCERIAN, will review the play called The Hands of Time in an absolutely unbiased man- ner. This is a play in four acts, with three brief intermissions. The play was written by the actors as they played their parts under the direction of Herbert Edwards, the principal, and a band of capable assistants, the faculty. It is produced by the board of education with the cooperation of the taxpayers and is given by an all-star cast. The scenes all take place in the high school building, in corridors, classrooms, gymnasium, and assem- bly hall. Act I shows the arrival of the 73 members of the class in the halls of learning. Their timidity and curious mistakes furnish some bright comedy moments. The villain of the play is called Study and is of alarming size and proportions. It is evident that he will interfere sadly with the en- joyment and leisure of the actors, now known as Freshmen. At the close of the act, tragedy seems immin- ent, as there is a desperate affair, a mental crisis created by brother villain, Examinations. But the Freshmen make one last spurt and win. Not all is somber in this act, as there are two parties--one given in the gym, and the other at McCormicks Creek Park. Leading characters in this act are: Gerald McClure, class President, Carmen Pogue, Vice Presidentg jimmy Lucas, Secretary-Treasurer, Connie Cline and Martha jackson, May Queen Attendantsg and Barbara Skinner, yell leader. The directors of this act are Mr. Ahlemeyer and Klr. Schuler. The curtain of the first act falls on the re- joicing Freshmen as they take an intermission of twelve weeks, during which time the actors go away on vacations or stay home and help with the work. Act II shows the same people in the same place, but they are now known as Sophomores, owing to an advance in rank. A touch of patnos is found in the absence of eight members of the cast. In this act the members of the cast seem to have achieved a charm, an ease of manner, and a feeling of security that were noticeably lacking in Act I. An interesting scene in this act is the election of class officers, at which time Herbert Nanny was selected as class Presi- dent, Patty Starnes was selected Vice Presi- dent, and Clarence Riggs was chosen Secretary- Treasurer. Another outstanding scene took place at the May Day Program when jeweldeen Strunk and Patty Starnes represented us as attendants. The spotlight next catches Shirley Campbell as she accepts the honor of being selected F.F.A. Sweetheart candidate. joe Emerson takes a bow in the next scene as he is recognized for being the top salesman in the magazine sales campaign. The players all swell with pride as they receive the distinction of being winners of Courtesy Week. The action continues to rise till the end of the act, when we again have the inevitable struggle with the villains iiily and Examinations. Again, after a bitter exchange of hostilities, the class wins, thanks to the time spent in prepa- ration. Directors of this act were Mrs. Thelma Miller and Mr. Spangler. Another twelve weeks' intermission, and we stagger in for Act III. Again the same people in the same place--which may make the play sound monotonous to you, but I assure you it is not. The actors are so changed that each act seems like an entirely new play. They are now called juniors. The directors of this Act, Mrs. Alberta Miller and Mr. Spangler, allowed time off to make prepa- rations for the junior-Senior Prom which was held on May 7 in Alumni Hall at the Union Build- ing at Indiana University. This scene takes place in the balmy atmosphere of Hawaii. Several of the actors reminisce as they think of the var- ious activities which took place to raise the funds for this wonderful evening. The selling of Christmas wreaths, concessions at ball games, etc., were necessary to buy the props. We hold our breath as the spotlight picks up a scene from our class play, Our Miss Brooks. We are very proud to find some of our cast make wonderful thespians. We are guided through this act by President Clarence Riggs, Vice-President Stanley Fulk, and Secretary-Treasurer Bill Cowden. Loretta Allee and Claris Riggs look very beautiful in their pastel formals as they serve as May Queen Attendants. One frivolous scene shows the jun- iors frolicking at McCormicks Park at a party. Many who came on in the first act with en- thusiasm and high hopes have wearied of the struggle and left the cast in search of positions offering speedy remunerations and less brain fatigue. We miss six members of the cast who left us during this act. Again an intermission of twelve weeks, which both audience and actors greatly enjoy, perhaps because they realize there is but one more act to follow. Act IV arrives at last and is warmly received. By this time, the actors are so matured, so at ease, so changed for the better that they are dif- ficult to recognize. We seem to view with rose- colored spectacles the scene that so soon will vanish. We have grown honestly fond of all the cast, and even that arch-villain, 31-dy, seems less formidable. The action is more rapid and more complicated than in preceding acts. The actors who showed promise of being stars in the preceding act have fulfilled that promise and shine brightly. We have the same directors for this act as in Act Ill, but the prompters have changed. We take our cues this time from Presi- dent jack Dyer, Vice President jim Lucas, and Secretary-Treasurer joe Emerson. Our enthusiasm is kept at a high pitch by yell leaders Loretta Allee and Shirley Campbell. Many of the same thespians who participated in the junior Play, The Perfect Idiot, a successful production. One of the joyful events of this act is the Prom given for us by the juniors. We went to DePauw for this event. As an opposite extreme from the formality of the Prom, we see the cast bouncing along on a hay wagon as they attend a class party held at the home of jean Smith. We are proud of some of the members of the cast as they receive recognition for their schol- astic ability. Carmen Pogue, Connie Cline, Isabelle Hamilton, Marilyn Miller, Sallie Sheppard, and Evelyn Waldon are elected to membership in the National Honor Society. At last the fatal hour arrives, and we again meet -S-Lugly face to face: and ironic as it may seem, we find him to be, not an enemy, but a friend, and an invaluable ally to possess through- out life. The play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers music, and congratulations--in short, graduation exercises, and we have the well-known, and ever popular, happy ending. y 72 fu Na we N, m vo S: 'tr O .3 Ft ex fm 'S Q N fm an Lx P Q19 Time out for popcorn. t L pf ., . gg fn.. - A-Q ' r .

R. Miller Grade School Principal The Perfect Idiot came to life on October 28. This humorous play was presented by the senior class under the direction of Miss Lois Galimore. An afternoon and an evening perform- ance was given. Many hours of diligent rehearsing were spent by the cast in preparation for this big event. Make- up artists and property people attributed to the success of the play. The end result was a play well-received by the audience. l 2 S .X 5 ' H ,.... .QN ,ea--A--ff' ff Annual Staff A big operation was performed in room 107 this yearg namely the compilation of the 1955 SPENCERIAN. The members of the staff began their duties early in the fall and con- tinued operations until spring when the last annual was issued. Working under the direction of Miss Lindsey and Mrs. Miller, the following staff operat- ed--sometimes in high spirits--sometimes at low ebb. Luella White, Constance Cline, Carmen Pogue, Sallie Sheppard, Isabelle Hamilton, and Shirley Campbell made up the lit- erary departmentg Byron Buker and Carey Spencer handed in the all-important photographsg securing ads for the book was up to Gerald McClure and Edward Coffeyg Gerald McClure had charge of the business departmentg and Shirley Campbell and Carmen Pogue peeked the typewriter keys for us. The layouts took form under the eagle eyes of Carey Spencer and David Jackson. When we saw the completed year book, we were happy and proud to add ours to the shelf of Spencerian Yearbooks. Christmas Program GIFTS FOR ALL The Christmas Program was very cleverly woven around the theme af gifts. Santa showed the children the gifts he would bring them, and then he told them of the most wonderful gift of all, the birth of the Babe. This program was under the direction of Miss Nancy Smead, grade school music teacher. E E :. 5? 2 5 3 5 5 52 FF 75 . 'Z 1 Q? 6 52 Elf E PROPHECY.. The prosperous city of Spencer lay garlanded and expectant beneath the june sunshine in the year 1975. Crowds of gaily dressed people were gathered in groups before going into the gym. Before long the seats began to fill with all those who wanted to have a part in the reunion of the class of 1955. A fine class, asserted gray-haired Mr. White. As fine a class as the school ever sent out. I was a member of the School Board when they graduated and we were certainly proud of them. Are most of the members here? asked his companion, Mr. Sharp. I'm told they are ex- pecting a large representation. A number are here, replied Mr. White. That's Everett over there. He came in his own airplane this morning. He certainly has a fine one - darts along the sky like a bird. You know he's the orator of the day. They're expecting a large number of the old class to come in by train It will be in soon now.'J He spoke truly, for in a few minutes eager faces were watching the approach of the early afternoon train. The band began its melody of welcome, handkerchiefs were waving and excited voices calling out greetings as those already present began to welcome the new arrivals. The stage was set and all was ready for the reunion of the class who had graduated twenty years before. There were heads with graying locks--and if the truth is to be told--there were heads with scarcely any locks, but the old fires of enthus- iasm burned in eager eyes and perennial youth glowed in their hearts. The band finished the introduction of a lively march and the class of 1955 of the Spencer High School took its place on the flower-trimmed platform, with perhaps more dignity but with the graceful ease of twenty years ago. As the large company looked upon these men and women who had returned with laurels for the old school, they broke into deafening cheers of welcome, a welcome so hearty that those of the class who did not blush with pride blushed from sheer excitement. The assembled members began the song written for the occasion by Sallie Sheppard who had been given to the writing of verse in high school days: Dear old school, 'tis to thee, Long from thy tasks set free, From distant town and state, We come to celebrate, And old-time joys relate As love's fires burn. They started out bravely, but even the voices of Isabelle Hamilton, Claris Riggs, Marilyn Miller, and Luella White, who had been noted singers of the classin the old days, grew trembly and Clarence Riggs, who had been notorious as a cut-up was seen to blow his nose with great gusto and then furtively wipe his eyes. As the song closed, jack Dyer, who had gain- ed much poise from presiding at class meetings, stepped forward and said: Ladies and gentlemen, I have the great honor to introduce as the speaker of the day, Everett Farley, who has left his work in the busy city to be present at this gathering. We are proud of Everett, he has gained wealth and dis- tinction, he has also gained a five-foot waist- line in keeping with his dignity. He flew here in his plane and now he will soar into a brand of oratory that will hold you spell-bound. When the cheering had ceased, Everett came forward with his old-time assurance and began: Ladies and gentlemen, schoolmates of the good old days, and friends of bygone years, I see before me many faces that were present at the graduation of this class twenty years ago. I would like to present to you those members and give you a few facts concerning them. I will start with Isabelle Hamilton. In high school she used to advocate better order in assembly rooms, she wanted the halls kept clean and the school grounds beautiful, she thought girls should hold half of the school offices, so it is not surpris- ing that Isabelle went in for civil reform. She reformed her town, tackled the county and then the state. She is now at Washington telling things to Congress. Then there's Clarence Riggs. He has pros- perity written all over him, he not only has money in his pockets but also in the bank. Yes, he is a plumber and he can retire any time he wants to. One reason for his success is his very efficient secretary, Claris, who among other duties, sees that bills are collected. LaVonne Abbitt is a well-to-do baker, he started in a humble way at home because his wife--you know Nancy Rice, whom he dared in school, wanted to be in business. She started a hat shop, LaVonne had to get so many meals that he finally started a public bakery and is doing fine. Carey Spencer, as you know, is principal of our school. His able assistant is Luella White who succeeded Phoebe. Connie Cline is also teaching here. She has refused many offers of marriage because she's in love with teaching. Both of these people wanted to teach in this school to get revenge on future classes for the roastings the Faculty gave them during their high school years. Marshall Parks and John McHaley are part of the backbone of the country--for if good farm- ers are not the country's backbone, tell me what is. Rosia Whitaker, who always had a fondness for chickens, calves, and baby baa-baas is now residing on a huge farm. Here also are Gerald McClure, who is a famous cartoonist for leading city dailies, and Stanley Fulk, whom people love because he pulls teeth painlessly. Shirley Campbell, Loretta Allee, Jean Smith, Patty Starnes, and Mary Lou Williams have be- come rulers of the world--according to the line which says, 'The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.' They are happily married. Our joe Emerson is a worthy doctor. He is an allopathg since all paths lead to the grave. Bill Cowden is a railway director and Herbert Nanny is a noted inventorg he got out a good car that is cheaper than a Ford and he's doing fine. Dave jackson is an architect. His archi- tecture is very similar to that of famous Frank Lloyd Wright. Mark Thompson is a landscape gardener. Charles Williams is in the State Insane Asylum--he has charge of it. jim Lucas is the thief of the classg he stole an office from his opponent. Kay has tried her pen at writing for the public. Y0u'11 all read her articles and stories. Some of the ladies in the group who are so stylishly dressed are wearing the beautiful gar- ments created for them by Berneice Britton. She is herself looking very chic. Doris Galloway is head mistress of a very fashionable girls' school in Terre Haute, and she has never married although she has many suitors. Even in the old days, you will remember Marilyn Miller wanted to be a nurse. Well, she has acquired that ambition. Many of you were unaware that, as you came in, Carmen Pogue was sketching you and doing it very well. You see, I know, because I took a peek over her shoulder and watched for a while. Our beautiful flowers and other decorations on the platform today were furnished by Mark Thompson. He is now the leading florist in town. And here come the circus people. It's re- markable how many of the class of '55 ioined the circus world. Dick and Gilbert are now own- ers of the Edwards and Edwards Circus. Sybil Withem has consented to be their fat lady. She now holds the world's record for weight. If Anthony Coll isn't walking quite like normal, it's because he spends most of his time on a tight rope. Beverly Weir leads all of the circus parades with the same baton she used in high school. She just couldn't get used to a new one. The lions look very vicious, but their trainer, Wesley jackson, seems able to keep them under control. And their barker, of all people, is Violet Spangler. She always will be remembered for her strong voice. Fresh in from Russia comes our secret agent, Charles Bain. He is taking a short vaca- tion from his work. I hope the Russians think of no new tricks while this master mind is away. Robert Watkins has progressed steadily from the managership of one Kroger grocery store to another until he is now manager of the Indianapolis store. Eddie Coffey is top sales- man for him and Eddie has just returned from a trip to Cuba. He won the trip for selling the most cans of dog food of any salesman in the country. Pansy Stogsdill is operating a nursery school. I understand she gets more children than she can handle at her school. She had to hire two assistants, Evelyn Walden and Byrl Stwalley. Betty Glass is acting as secretary to Ronald Trimble. Ronald is now assistant to Billy Graham and they are meeting many interesting people. I suppose you know that Phyllis Frye and Rex Wilson represented us at the last Olympics. They did very well, too. junior Evansis real pleased today because he got to sell Everett enough fuel for his plane to get him back to New York. Junior now owns the Texaco Service Station. Sallie is home on furlough after teaching for five years in Africa. ' Here the recital of the class reunion ends for if we endeavor to give to you Everett's entire speech the members of the audience would not get home in time to go to work to- morrow' Sallie Sheppard - Marilyn Miller Ill ESTEEMED COMPANY OF WITNESSES: The Senior Class has felt for some time that its death was near, we have felt that the mem- bers of the faculty had conspired to accomplish the death of the most astonishingly brilliant class the walls of Spencer High and the teachers thereof have ever frowned upon. The bitter doses of lessons we have taken with daily regularity have hastened rather than prolonged our illness, and we know with sorrowful certainty that the hour of our departure is near at hand. Therefore, being so soon to pass from these scenes of educational activityg being in full possession of alert minds and memories, we would publish for you the last will and testament of the Senior Class of 1955. I We do hereby appoint and charge, joe Emerson, the lawful custodian of the class funds, to faithfully attend to looking up the num- erous bills we owe and to settle all accounts of the departing class from the exhausted pen- nies of an already depleted treasury. No money are we taking with us from this expensive in- stitution of education, neither shall we leave any debts behind us. Il To the members of our beloved faculty, who look upon our death with smiles of joy, we be- queath the satisfaction which comes from duties well performed, and a peaceful rest from the weary task of making our graduation shrouds. We also leave them a large amount of sympathy for their depressing attempts to pound know- ledge into our craniums. We leave them, but we don't leave them much! III To the school in general, we leave the out- of-the-way nooks where we have been wont to hide--usually in couples if the girls could in- veigle the boys--to waste the time we should have spent in studying. To the school library we leave the collection of volumes setting forth the charms, the escapades, the achieve- ments, and the startling knowledge gleaned from our examination papers. IV To the junior Class, as our rightful and worthy successors, we leave: Cab our seats. Occupy them, but do not try to fill them. fbb Our senior dignity. May they uphold it with becoming seriousness, endeavoring to over- come their usual hair-brained and frivolous flippancy. Ccj Our tendency to make a little knowledge go along way in the classroom, also our ability to throw faculty members off the trail when they imagined We were bluffing. fdj Lastly, that which gives us the greatest pang ro part with--our strongly entrenched places in the hearts of the faculty who have loved us devotedly because--they couldn't help it! Comfort them in their loss, but don'r imagine you can mangle their hearts as we have done. V To the vivacious and exuberant Sophomores we leave the right to prey upon the Freshmen, out of season and without reason, to unceas- ingly torture them--with the liabilities thereof! VI We the Senior Class of 1955 will remember: LaVonne Ahhitt as a menace to life, limb, and property in the chemistry lab. Loretta Allee for her beautiful blonde hair and vivacious cheer leading. Charles Bain for his insistance on discip- linary measures and his willingness to disobey them. Berneice Britton as a skillful seamstress who makes many of her own clothes. Shirley Campbell as an enthusiastic cheer leader for the Spencer Cops and for Mark Thomp- son. Connie Cline for her art of vamping faculty members. Edward Coffey for his superb driving ability, especially in posted speed areas. Anthony Coll for his angelic innocence. Bill Cowden's ease in getting rebounds. jack Dyer for three reasonsg namelyg his unusual ears, his impressive manner as presi- dent, and his faithfulness in working at the con- cession stand at ball games.

Pansy Stogsa'ill's melodious laugh. jeweldeen Strunk Woolara' because she was so faithful to type articles for the SPENCERIAN. Byrl Stwalley for her interest in the mascu- line gender.

Evelyn Wala'on and Beverly Weir as devoted fans of Julius LaRosa. Robert Watkins and his speedin the mile run. Rosia Wbitaker's rosy cheeks and big dreamy eyes. Luella Wbite's love for horses.

VII We WILL bequeath the following memories to our friends left behind: Any broken pens, stubs of pencils, cast-off note books, mounds of gum we were compelled to stick hastily in out-of-sight spots to avoid faculty detection, and other mementoes, we bestow freely upon the finder. VIII With our last parting breath, we do hereby constitute and appoint Alberta Miller and Renos Spangler of aforementioned school sole execu- tors of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, they attach their signa- tures. Connie Cline Kay Yocom 'fs ITNESSES: Sponsor w 1 , g 4 f' ' ,ktgflfeftfl Sponsor L,,?7 ,X f I' 5 x 9 . f ' -.
