Seniaa eladd On September 2, l936, the doors of Sunbury School opened to fifty-two chil- dren. This was, up to that date, the larg- est first grade class to enter Sunbury School. Among these only eleven remain here to graduate. They are as follows: Don Carter, Lucille Conklin, Helen Gal- logly, Patty Crowl, Kenneth Crowl, Bill Lake, Ioan Hoskinson, Mary Ellen Mur- phy, Lovett Murphy, Bob Meredith, and Kenneth Presley. Thelma Root also joined us in Ianuary of l937. Miss Payne started us on our way to success. Miss Bond was our second grade teach- er. We will never forget the hair pulling and knuckle cracking. Rita Barnhard joined us in the third grade. Miss Bishop was our teacher. We were all very fond of her and were rather disappointed when she was married that year. Miss Phillips was our fourth grade teach- er. She was also married before the year was up. We were joined by luanita Hart in the fifth grade. Miss Beatty was our teacher. The life of our class, Bonnie Ward, joined us in the sixth grade. We will al- ways remember Mrs. Horlocker and her organ. Every time we had visitors, Bon- nie Ward was called on to sing to the accompaniment of Thelma Boot at the organ. Ioan Lehman became a member of our class in the seventh grade. We were very bewildered by our first man teacher, Mr. Crawford. Paul Nettlehorst and lim Stelzer came to Sunbury in the eighth grade. This was the year we gave a minstrel. Rita Barn- hard, Ioan Lehman, and Thelma Boot were chosen Reserve Cheerleaders. We felt very grown up the night of our commence- ment and our eighth grade play, All Aboard. Under the capable manage- ment of Mr. Neilson, we were now ready to enter high school. We, the graduating class of l949, now realize that we are about to leave good old Sunbury High. lt will soon be but a happy memory. ln 1945 We entered these doors with great expectations. At first we were a little scared and maybe a little green, but we didn't admit it. We were Well represented in spots, scholarship, music, and other extra activities. Mrs. Lang and Miss Welsh helped us through our first year. We had one more mem- ber added to the enrollment that year, Harva Lee Sparks. Our Sophomore year proved to be an enjoyable one, under the guidance of Miss Wagner. Edna Mae Barney and George Gilbert became members of our class. We felt very proud to have two members of our class on the Varsity Bas- ketball team, five on the football team and three on the Baseball team. Our Biology Club, directed by Mr. Lang, took a trip to Hocking County. The class gave a one-act play The Professor Roars that year. So ends the second year of our happy excursion. The third year finds us under the di- rection of Mrs. Arthur. We sponsored a fall dance which was very successful. We were proud to have Mary Ellen Mur- phy elected Homecoming Queen. We had four members on the Basketball team that won the County Tournament, four on the Baseball team and four on the Football team. Under the supervision of Mrs. Arthur, we were able to give the class of '48 a very successful Banquet and Prom. Our theme was Moonlight and Roses, with decorations centering around that theme. Paul Ruffner's orchestra furnished us with fine music. Our lunior Play, Ever Since Eve, directed by Mrs. Bowedda, turned out to be successful. We ended this year by a class picnic at Westerville Park. The fall of '48 found us enrolled as Seniors. We had one new member this year, Bob Edwards. Under the capable guidance of Mrs. Arthur and Mr. Himes we felt as though we couldn't fail. ln Oc- tober, we sponsored ct Dads' Day Dance. Thelma Root and loan Lehman were chosen Homecoming Attendants at our game with Ashley. We are very proud of the boys who helped in making the football and basketball season successful. We have all worked very hard to make this annual one of the best, and we hope it is. As we come closer to the closing weeks of school, we begin to look for- ward to such events as the Senior Play, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, Scholar- ship Tests, Iunior and Senior Prom, Bac- calaureate and then our last official step as students of Sunbury High, Commence- ment. As we are now ready to leave Sun- bury High School, we wish to thank the faculty, Mr. Skomp, our superintendent, Mr. Himes, our principal, and the school board for making our high school days the happiest.

Glam P Time: 1960 Place: Deshler Wallick Hotel Event: Reunion of the class of '49 ln her little penthouse of eighteen rooms in the Deshler-Wallick Hotel, Pat Crowl was preparing to receive an important guest. lt was one of her classmates of '49, loan Lehman, who was making her first appearance as a professional model at Lazarus. loan had learned that Pat had married a rnulti-millionaire and was liv- ing at the Deshler-Wallick. She had ar- ranged to have tea with Pat at 4 p.m. Ioan arrived in a shiny, black, jet-propelled l'im- ousine. The door opened automatically and Ioan stepped out. She walked to the door and rang the bell and a butler an- swered the door. He led her through a brilliantly lighted hall to a small drawing room. Ioan noticed that the butler was very stuck-up. He had his nose so high in the air that his face was barely recog- nizable, but after examining him closely Ioan recognized him to be ex-basketball captain, Bob Edwards. She was then announced. Ioan found Pat waiting for her. A maid entered the room carrying a tray. Ioan recognized her to be Lucille Conklin. She served the tea and left the room. While sipping tea and munching cookies, they talked about what their old classmates were doing. Thelma Root is having quite a time re- writing the dictionary. Evidently she dioln't agree with all the things Noah Webster wrote. Kenneth Presley is official mayor of Sunbury, a suburb of Columbus, which has a population of 2,000. Harva Lee Sparks is in Paris designing clothes. At present she is arguing with the Prime Minister of France about the usefulness of long skirts. Bonnie Ward is a fan dancer with Spike Tones and his City Slickers. She is well liked by the public except by Sally Band, the ex-fan dancer. Small jet-propelled planes have taken the place of the subways in New York. Don Carter is the best pilot of the lines. lf you are wanting to get some place in a hurry or don't want to get there at all, just ride with Don. Cities still have to have tax .collectors Somebody has to do the job, so it might just as well be George Gilbert, and that Page Fourteen is just what he is doing. He says he makes good money. Senator Bill Lake from Ohio is having quite a debate with another Senator about the use of the schools. Senator Lake thinks that school buildings should be de- molished and schools abolished. lt is said that these debates shall go down in history as the Lake and Lake Debates, because he never gives the other senator time to say anything. Lovett Murphy is cultivating . . . a beard. lt has now reached the great length of ten feet. Rita Barnhard is now in competition with Hedda Hopper. They are both try- ing for the Academy Award. Edna Mae Barney is giving Babe Dick- erson a hard time to retain her title as Greatest Woman Athlete. Kenneth Crowl is complete owner and manager of Crowl's Milling Company. He owns mills all over the country and we hear he is progressing very well. Iim Stelzer is now known as Card- shark Charlie. lt seems as though he just can't be beat. Paul Nettlehorst is now known as the best farmer in the state of Ohio. He has really gone at it in earnest and has ful- filled his dream. Bob Meredith has just invented a new type of radio, one that automatically turns off when commercials come on. Mary Ellen Murphy is now living out on the west side of Columbus. She is having quite a time keeping both her hus- band and family under control. Juanita Hart is putting all her efforts and energy into concocting new Epicurian de- lights to remove the Democratic president from the White House. She then hopes to become, as a result of her efforts, head die-titian of the nation through the spoils system. loan l-loskinson has just received the Nobel Prize for her work in medicine. lt seems she has found a new cure for cancer. Helen Gallogly has just received her third divorce decree. She just can't seem to find the right man. Ioan's visit now seemed complete and she hurried to her dressing room, leaving the sun to sink, unaided, behind the little penthouse of eighteen rooms.
