CLASS HISTORY In September, 1941, nineteen eager boys and girls entered Sulphur Springs High as Freshmen, with Grace Zerbe as our leader, and James Baker as her assistant. Mr. Tasker was their class advisor. Somehow we pulled through that year and advanced to the rank of Sophomores. We chose as leader, Ernest Striker and as his helper, Kermit Kibler. Our advisor was Mrs. Klopfenstein. A farewell party was held dplring this year for Lawrence Bergsteadt. At last we were accepted as upper classmen, namely as Juniors. We selected Kermit Kibler as our leader and Donald Schnarrenberger as his assistant. Our class play, Me and My Shadow was directed by Mrs. Jones, who was also our advisor. On May 6th we held our Junior-Senior Banquet at Bucyrus Y. M. C. A. Last fall our class of four girls and four boys started our Senior year. Kermit Kibler and Donald Schnarrenberger were chosen leader and assistant with Mr. Den- nis as our class advisor. The senior play Through the Keyhole was given on April 27th. Baccalaureate was Sunday, May 13, and Commencement on May 18th. --KERMIT KIBLER CLASS PROPHECY It was a warm summer day in July, 1960, when I boarded a large transport plane to make a business trip to the West Coast. I was very much surprised to see that Donald Schnarrenberger was at the controls of the plane. As we traveled westward, a very familiar alto voice came over the radio. It was Lillie Mae Butt singing with a well-known orchestra from New York. After making a landing in Topeka, Kansas, I decided to go sight-seeing in the town. While walking along the street, I saw a young man and woman, and two children coming towards me. It was no one but Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Kibler and their son and daughter. He told me he was the owner of a 300 acre farm. He also in- formed me that Oliver Wood was the President of the First National Bank in Topeka. I again boarded the plane and started on my way to San Francisco. Our plane landed at the huge airport outside of the city and while waiting for a taxi, I picked up a newspaper and saw that the Cleveland Indians had won the World Series. I read a little farther and was very surprised to see that Ernest Striker was their star First Baseman. I Went into town and after such a long trip I decided to drop in at a beauty shop, and after inquiring, I was directed to a very exclusive one, when to my surprise, I found that Peggy Keiter was the manager. I also learned that she was particularly interested in styling children's hair-do's. She asked me to go to a big stage show for an evening's entertainment. We saw a very elaborate show which was written and directed by Grace Zerbe. On Sunday morning it was my privilege to attend church services in a large Cathedral where Lucille Schwartz was the organist. Although extremely weary from my trip, I felt as though I had never spent a more worthwhile portion of my life as this had been, since I now know that each and every one of my classmates was happily engaged in his life work. -LUCILLE SCHWARTZ
