faster than last and now we were through with half of our high school days. Our junior year found us absent two students, Pete Carey who went to Rushville, but returned at Christmas, and Richard Haffner, who went to join his brother in Ybungstown, Ohio. le gained one member, Betty Ferguson from Missouri. This was a big year for all of us. First we ordered our class rings, then we began preparation for our class play in the spring, which was 'The Phantom Bells. The play, we were told, was very good. Our next big event was the junior-senior reception at the Hotel Van Orman in Fort layne. It took weeks of work and plann1ng,p but eventually everything turned out all right. Before we had realized it, our fun in the junior year was over and we were ready to occupy the last row of seats in the assembly. Finally August 28, l9h8 was here and we had started on the last leg of ourlong journey, everyone from last year was present, which gave us a grand total of twenty-four. Seven members of the original first grade class were the only students who remained here at Union throughout the twelve years of school. Some of the highlights of our senior year were the presentation of our class play, 'Just Ducky,n another was the photographing and receiving of our graduation pictures, next we received our name cards and invitations, and ordered our caps and gowns. Then came our junior-senior trip to Chicago for two nights and three days. Finally the great day arrived when we began our graduation exercises. Preceeding our Com encement was the Baccaurleate where we were addressed by Reverend lorthman. Three nights later came our Commencement exercises. The speaker of this occasion was Dr. Tennyson Geyer. Everyone received his diploma and congratulated each other for successfully completing his high school career. And so now we say good-bye, fellow class-mates, and faculty. We wish you success and happiness in the future. lith this memory of our happy school days, we close. Sincerely, X 'The senior class of 'h9' Dixie Thoma Don Caley Bonnie Shoup 13
