asi' LJILL HNDFEISTHMENT .ma CLHSS GF Z9!2 We, the senior class of 1947, have now written our final chapter in the history of Three Rivers High School. We realize, of course, that few classes have equalled us, much less excelled us in scholarship, social attainments and blunders, salesmanship, and chivalry. Now. at graduation, we stand upon the threshold of new and greater personal and social obligations. We are aware of the solemnity and dig- nity of this momentous occasion. Because we are imbued with a spirit of unselfishness and because we wish to be assured that our remarkable accomplishments will be held in fond and loving memory in years to come, we have, after much deliberation, decided to endow some of those who are left behind with our talents and other prized possessions. To the faculty, we will our key tnthemisspelling of the English language to facilitate their interpreting the writ- ten work of future classes. To the juniors, we bequeath with the greatest affec- tion, our worn textbooks, notebooks, teachers, I.Q. tests, and all of our combined accumulated knowledge. To the sophomores, we leave ouroutstanding dramatic talents and experience. Having disposed of our scholastic and dramatic at- tainments, we now will to the freshmen our social profic- iencies in order that they may have the benefit of our ex- periences in sponsoring school dances, parties, and a prom.

c 'Tl ii v . 'lfl 'I It was my- pleasure to cover for the Chicago sul 1 n St, 3 Daily News the grand opening of Bill Klingel's xi-'gli' new night club, The Blue Room. Night clubs in the day and age of 1960 are quite different from what they used to be. In keeping with its name, The Blue Room is done in many choice shades of ' ' W f blue. All the waiters dress in blue, and their skin is tinted blue, also. This was all very well until I realized that no one could tell when he was being served. In the crowd I noticed a few T. R. alumni of the Class of '47. The orchestra at The Blue Room is none other than Bob Collins' Barefooted Five. Among the Barefoots are Don Wolf, Tom Shumaker, and Charles Stowe. However, it is said that Julie Voorhees' singing and personality are the club's main attraction. All the people there were looking well, but by far the healthiest were Paul Carta, Raimond Breece, and Tub Buscher. The boys are making a gold mine out of body building gymnasiums. The name of their coast to coast business is Muscles, Inc. ' At the table behind me sat Barbara Rensenhouse and Betty Fawkes. Barbara has just put out a new variety magazine, Everything Betty is writing the gossip for the new magazine, and, as she was talking a blue streak, I put my ear to the ground to hear what she had to say. You know Max Heckelman, the big time politician? said Betty. Well, he is organizing a new po- litical party on a national scale. Joe Panczyk, the agitator, is getting most of the new members with the fiery cry of '54-40 or l-Ieckelman. Bill Hutson, local boy who made good, has just opened on Broadway in the hit show. 'Seclusionf Certain T. R. alumni have never missed one breathless performance. Among these are Marje Snell, Jackie Niendorf, and Hazel Young. Play Girl Linda Shafer has been the sensation of the Monte Carlo this year. Soldier of Fortune Don Lasko, after making his wad in Centreville working at a gas station, is burning up the streets of Paris with his millions. Bud Schall, famed rocket pilot, is planning another trip to Mars. His ship will be powered by the new fuel developed by the noted chemist, Grace Thompson. On his coming trip, Bud will take Bill Fish, the naturalist, who will study the form of life found on that planet. The law firm of Tregidgo and Sperou is doing a thriving practice. Their success they attribute to their motto: 'You get in the jam: we'll get you out !' Beverly Dunn, Rosemary Skebiskie, Marje Sills, and Jean Stinton have just opened new dress shops in Chicago, London, and Paris. Jean is kept busy between the dress business and Ed Beatty, who is now janitor at the Factory Outlet Shoe Store in Three Rivers. Don Hagenbuch has gone back to T. R. after playing pro football for the New York Giants under the title of Mighty Mouse. At Columbia University Fred Krugel is keeping the campus buzzing with his new course in po- litical science. It appears that Fred is still trying to prove that Dewey should have beaten Roosevelt away back in '44. Myrtle Haines and Betty Van Loo are busy in Hollywood keeping the actresses in style with the latest hairdos. 30 '
