'fed.- t ne s s (l dWltnes Witness Class of '52 Listen, Class of '52. The tine has come to close for you. Bid farewell to all classmates, Tne time is here to graduate. As freshmen we have tried to do our best, To pass our general science test. To get acquainted with assembly seats, The requirements here were not hard to meet. And then our sophomore year did come, We lost our shyness and began our fun, At each Basketball and Football game. We ended up with Okaw fame. Our junior year was not so calm, With getting ready for the Senior Prom. We decorated for banquet and dance, Knowing this year would be our last chance. And now we're seniors here at last. We lay aside the future and think of the past. And thank our teachers for all they've done, Also our classmates, for sharing our fun. For we all will part tomorrow. And will strive to do our best. We'll remember you for all of this, Dear old T. C. H. S.

Tuscola had too many players who had never played varsity ball before. Tom Atwell and Jon Ware scored for Tuscola. Atwood The Atwood. Rajahs were a rugged and experienced team. Hale and waish were hard running backs and scored all of Atwood's points. Andy Flanigan made the only score for Tuscola and really got his share of punishment. Newman The Warriors looked like champs against Newman,intercepting passes, blocking hard, and fighting all the way, Flanigan scored three times, and Burress twice for Tuscola scores. These two boys and Ware played remarkably well. Arthur After a poor beginning, the Warriors drove on to beat Arthur 31-13. Flanigan scored four touchdowns and Ware scored one for the Warriors.

Andy again scored in the second quarter. Half-time score: Oakland 14, Tuscola 13. Burreos recovered a fumble, then set up the next score for Tuscola, when Chaplin scored. Flanigan's extra point plunge was short. In the last two minutes, Oakland scored again to win 20-19. Villa Grove The Warriors tried hard, but couldn't come through. It was a rugged game with many players badly shaken. Fanakos, Lewis, and Christman were Villa Grove's attack. Tom Atwell scored on the last play of the game on a pass from Flanigan, but the beckfield was in motion. Villa Grove won 19-0. Areola Fumbles, and injury to Jon Ware hurt the Warriors against Areola. Areola soored early in' the i game and it looked bad for Tuscola. Kidway in the second quarter, Flanigan scored for Tuscola after Art Smith recovered’ an Areola fumble. Half-time score: Areola 7, Tuscola.6. In the.third quarter Areola scored twice to pull away from the Warriors. It was a tough game to lose as all Areola games are • Honors Andy Flanigan was selected by the News-Gazette as Halfback on the All-Okaw Valley Team.

Although Ed Edminston, Jon Ware,and Jim Wood are the only lettermen returning from the victorious '5l squad, the Warriors have a favorable chance of once again dominating the conference. In the year's first meet, the Tuscola trackmen handily disposed of Villa Grove with Ware, Wood, Edminston, Miller, and Smith leading the Warriors to Victory. In the Urbana Open, Wood placed fourth in the 880 and Edminston ran third in the 220.

The most important meet of the year will be the Okaw Valley Track Meet at Monticello,May 6, In which the host team will be the favorite, but the well-conditioned Warriors won't be counted out of the running until the last event is finished, Andy Flanigan T Club The T Club, with Mr, Doolittle as adviser, started out the year with nine members.

Chaplin PROPHECY One bright sunny afternoon in mid-May, we decided to go to the Bailum and Barney Dangling Bros, Circus, that was being held at ’Vall-Eye all week. It was a gala affair and everybody seemed to be having a grand time. We became hungry, so we walked around the grounds until we saw the popcorn stand just on the other side of a fortune-teller's booth. Oh, wait a minute,1' crjed Joan, Let's visit this--this Madame Olga, and hear what she has to say about our futures. Aw, you don't believe in that crazy stuff, do you? asked Bill. No, said Joan, but I think it'd be fun just to hear her talk to us anyway. Okay, come on,let's go in, the rest of us replied. V e entered the small tent and found Madame Olga sitting in a big chair with a green turban wrapped about her head, and a sparkling robe around her shoulders. On the table before her was a crystal ball. She asked us to be seated, and we did so, feeling a little uncomfortable at the mysteriousness which surrounded the woman. I am going to take you far into the future, she said, gazing intently at the shining crystal ball. I see that you are about to graduate from Tuscola High School and that you and your classmates will scon be starting out on your own in the world. I shall tell you what I see, as foretold in my crystal bell, I shall tell you what will happen to each of your classmates. I see that Caroline Nisbet is going to be very happy in the years to come. She has opened up her own beauty salon and i3 working on new ways to curl pigs' tails. Peggy Vest is her first-hand assistant and the two of them are making remarkable discoveries. Dale Phillips is going to be chief cook and bottle-washer at the Dorothy Hausraann Home For Children in Salt Lake City, Utah. Gilbert Clark will start a pillow factory using feathers from his father's many turkeys. Bud Jenkins will be prospecting for gold in Galton, Illinois. He will be made rich by his discoveries, if he can just keep shoes on his horse, Blackjack. Say, this is exciting, said Lanieve, I'm glad we came i Go on, Madame Olga i Marian Birch is now Mrs. Jim Brown and they and their nine children are living happily in Bearcreek, New Hampshire. Andy Flanigan will sign a contract with the Park-ville Puddy-Cats and his team will be playing the Hugo Hilltoppers in the finals of the 1963 National Tiddley-’Vinks Tournament in Chicken Bristle. Bob Willi son and Frank Hartman will be the stars on the Hilltoppers team. Scorekeeper, Lyle Hopper, will announce the champs, the great Parkville Puddy-Cats, as they trounce the Hilltoppers 102-lj.,before a capacity crowd of sixteen. Now I see three young men in Army uniforms coming from their basic training with the National Guard in Camp Cooke, California. They are Art Smith, Lefty McGuire, and John Peeler. Art has a nice tan--her name is Marie. Lefty and John are still writing to their sweethearts at home, Catherine Hartman and Sylvia Cox, who are employed at the National Petro-Chem-ical Plant in Tuscola. Joan Owen and Phyllis Schultz are busy making ready for their spectacular wedding ceremonies. Jake and Vic will soon be coming home and the girls are busy making homecoming plans as well as the wedding details. Theirs will be the two most prominent weddings of the year. In Argentina, South America, I see Carol Cooper and Pauline Jordan in explorers' uniforms, angrily hunting for one particular kind of ant that ate the bait off a big trap they had set to catch a womaneating tiger. I see Bill Burke,Fayne Jolley,and Bob Mann cruising around in the Red Dragon trying to find a pink elephant which they misplaced on a lost week-end. Leo Gates is a pilot for the Flying Saucer Air Lines of which Gene Lawrence is president. Doris Hendershot is the company's most skillful stev'ardess, and likes her work very much. Madame Olga paused a moment and looked at us . Madame Olga, said Patty, IIow can you be so sure, that all these things you foresee will happen to our classmates? Madame Olga grinned at her for a moment,and then answered, smilingly, My dear girl, I have been telling people's fortunes for years nov; and they always come true. Do you not believe what I say to you? ’ ell------, Patty replied,-- we ' 11 just keep on listening. Please tell us more Willa Dean Turner, Darlene Seward, and Betty Lash each have a home of their own now. One day all three of them got together and invented a new Super-Duper automatic dishwasher. This dishwasher has revolutionized homemaking. It actually will scrape the dishes, wash them, dry them, and then stack them neatly, all ready to be put away, all in thirty-five seconds. This invention has brought these girls and their families a nice little fortune . Jim Clapper and Don DeBolt have signed a two-year contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. They will play baseball for about twenty-five years and then take up farming. Gene Baker is head of the Atlantic Garden Mission. He will perform a marriage ceremony between William Deem and Barbara V eatherf ord. Salvation Army Workers, who wandered in off Skid Row. We all glanced quickly at our friend. Bill, and we noticed he sat motionlessly suspended three feet off his chair. Joan Miller, Doris Perry, and Gretchen Hawkins are playing in the American Women's Basketball Tourney being held in Oregon. Their team is quite nationally known as the Bloomer Girls. Darlene Bates and Virginia Varney are professional models. They model belts, hair barrets, and shoe strings. They will make quite a career of it. Ray North is announcer for the radio station, R-A-T, located in Cat County. Miss Ruth Schroeder is the station's most popular vocalist. She is sweeping the nation with her famous version of Dust Mop written by Jo Ann Tyler. Jo Ann has written many other popular tunes since her marriage to Johnnie Ray. Doris Wheeler has entered her super-duper Jungle Juicer in the city's annual hot-rod classic. Speedy's car averages about 350 miles an hour. John Atwell will finish up the season in a few weeks now as player-manager of the Chicago Cubs. This year, the Cubs are only forty games out of first place. Rosie Tyler took a trip around the world in an airplane, when the engine caught fire and she was forced to parachute out. She landed in the middle of Africa where some natives found her and took her to their village. Now she takes care of all the little children while their parents go hunting. Well, said Madame Olga, I guess that about does it. But wait, we cried, don't you see anything in your crystal ball that concerns us? Oh yes, Madame Olga replied, grinning, I almost forgot. Just as she was about to speak, we heard a commotion just outside the tent and the next moment we saw in the opening, three odd-looking characters of the circus. One was a great fat lady who weighed 300 pounds. Another was a very thin man who looked exactly like a bean-pole. The other character was a shy-looking young lady who carried a large whip in one hand. They all stood there looking quietly at us, Madame Olga immediately went over and spoke to them. Well, this is a coincidence, she said, Gang, I want you to meet four new friends of mine. Bill Deem, Lanieve Reuter, Joan Stabler and Patty Wetzel. We jumped up quickly and said, We are very glad to meet you all. Hello, they answered. They then turned to Madame Olga and she said to them, I have just been telling these young people what I foresee will happen to their classmates in the years to come. I was just about to tell them their own fortunes, Well, don’t let us stop you, they replied. Go right ahead. Madame Olga looked us over once more and then said, Joan, I see that some day you will take the place of Annette, our animal trainer, the girl you see here with the whip in her hand. Lanieve, you will become our thin man and you will be a favorite of the circus. And Patty, yes, you will be our fat lady. The three of you will be very happy working here with us, I am quite sure. Oh yes, we all agreed quickly. I’m sure we shall be. Well, we'd better be going, hadn't we? asked Lanieve. It's getting late. Thank you very much for a wonderful afternoon, Madame Olga, we said, we appreciate your kindness. Good afternoon, she replied, and do come back again soon, won't you? Good bye, we called as we left the tent. WhewI said Bill, I'm kinda glad to get out of there. Do you think maybe some of those things will happen to our classmates and to us? Well, I don't know, said Joan, It just remains to be seen, I guess. ’Vho knows, answered Patty, what will happen, but you know in a way, I sorta hope Madame Olga doesn't know what she's talking about I We all laughed and walked merrily home. It had been fun, but each of us were still wondering what would occur in the lives of the members of the class of 19S21 Joan Stabler Bill Deem Lanieve Reuter Patty Wetzel CALENDAR September: Thursday, b- Today school opened and we met all of our old friends, and everyone talked over the swell times they had during rhe summer vacation.
