Janice Corell is one of Russ's paying guests. She designs floor plans for Kirb's hotels. So far, the ceilings have been on the sides, the sides on the floors, and the floors on the ceilings. Maybe she'll have better luck next time. Sharon Goshorn and Jerry have Russ's honeymoon suite. They sure have dented the walls since they moved in. Sharon is giving voice lessons now. Her specialty is bass singers. I forgot to tell you, she pays people to take lessons instead of them paying her. Hey, there are Milward and Carol Raher Miller. They now Live on a Texas sized ranch, in Texas natur- ally. They and their fourteen kids. In her spare time, Carol runs a tri-state restaurant. Lois Gaskill is here just fresh from business college. Yep, she finally made it after nineteen and a half years. Now, if she can find her a boss who will loan her his lap for sitting purposes, she'll be all set. How about this? It's Richard and Judy Hoopingarner Norris. Judy works in an automatic office. They have automatic typewriters, dictaphones, ditto machines, and filing cabinets. Everything works but Judy. Larry Stahl just made it. He lives in a glass house on the bottom of Lake Michigan. That way, he doesn't have to go to the beach to take a bath. Like California peaches? I-Iere's Judy Burnau. She has a grape orchard in California now. Did you say grapes don't grow in orchards? Well, I've never been out of New York. This looks like Chester Haines coming up the walk. I heard he discovered a hair grower for bald-headed men. It's guaranteed to either restore your hair or leave you bald. The last person to arrive is Betty Smith. The reason she is last is because she is a missionary in Africa. She came in a canoe and the Atlantic was sorta rough. From all the noise inside, I'd say that the party is getting pretty well under way. I'll sneak inside and see how it's all coming along. Everyone is going through the strangest gyrations. I believe someone said that it is the dance they learned in high school. Some people are like that. The center of attraction is a long table in the middle of the floor. It is decorated in light blue and white, the class colors. Food is stacked all over it. As I remember, food was their favorite subject in school. Who is the old gray headed lady running back to the table for her fifth time? Mrs. Batzka, we don't have hot dogs at this party. What are you eating ? The sun is slowly rising in the east. The kids are getting restless. This last fact is proved by a number of things. For instance, they are climbing up the blue velvet drapes, walking on the piano, dropping olives in the punch bowl, and one kid, I think he is Bernard's, is crawling around under the table squirting Whipped cream on people's legs. Such fun! Everyone is scrambling around hunting for their off-spring. After they have them collected, they proceed homeward. Thus comes the end of the first alumni banquet of the class of '58, Carol, Brenda, Bernelle

CLASS HI TGRY On a bright Monday morning of August 28, 1946, the school house was flooded with tears from twenty mother lonesome kids with the thought of leaving Mama. Miss Bernice Martin was our teacher who nied to change our tear stained cheeks to rosy red laughing ones. Brenda Allen, Sammy Boyd, Judy Burnau, Martha Burnau, Linda Brown, Gary Carl, Billy Connett, Janice Corell, Richard Duncan, Bonnie Fisher, Sharon Goshorn, Russell Haines, Judy Hoopingarner, Larry Kumfer, Beatrice Moorefield, Shirley Omspaugh, Jimmy Roussey, Betty Smith, and Larry Stahl were the ones who started on their road to education. Lois Gaskill joined us at Christmas. The summer vacation soon came to an end, and, we found ourselves second graders. Mrs. Shory was our teacher who taught us to write, add, and subtract. We also found out that we had gained Margaret Henry. We lost Gary Carl, Billy Connett, Martha Burnau, and Richard Duncan. As the new school year started, we were big third graders. Part of us still had Mrs. Shory and the rest of us had Mrs. Lesh for our teacher. This year, we had four new students, Roger Guevara, Sylvia Guevara, Janet Fisher, and Susan Cooper. This year, we really had to study, because our lessons were getting harder. We then started our fourth grade . By this time, we thought we were somebody, but we soon found out differently. Mrs. Lesh was our teacher. We gained Donald Bunsold and Billy Levy. We lost Roger Guevara Sylvia Guevara, and Janet Fisher. The fifth year soon rolled around, and we had Mrs. McLean for our teacher. Bernelle Willett, Maxine Osborn, Charlotte Fusselman, Barbara Jackson, and Bernard Jump joined us. Billy Levy left us. Mrs. McLean was our sixth grade teacher also. We gained Patty Slain and Ralph Child. We lost Don- ald Bunsold and Jimmy Roussey, By this time, we really did think we were something. As we became seventh graders, we were all big shots, because we got to move up stairs. As usual, though, it was just like always - Study! Study! all the dme. We gained Kirb Mossburg, Alex Henthorn, Flora Mae Hudlow, and Chet Haines. We lost Charlotte Fusselman, Maxine Osborn, Ralph Child, and Barbara Jackson. In the eighth grade, we gained Stanley Carney, Carol Raher, and Jim Posthumus. We lost Patty Slain, Sammy Boyd, Alex Henthorn, and Flora Mae Hudlow. It was a wonderful day when we entered high school. We all felt like great big giants even though we were referred to as green Freshmen. This year, we neither gained nor lost anyone. Next year, we were Sophomores, and as the saying goes, the teachers couldn't tell us much. We gained Marcia Baughman as a student. Here we are again only this time we are Juniors. We did many things this year such as hold a chili supper, scrap drive, bake sale, sell magazines, received our class rings, and gave a play entitled June Fever. During the past summer we lost Jim Posthumus. Once again as everyone returns to school, our underclassmen see a new light in our eyes and a broader grin upon ou.r faces, because on our road of education, we have at last become Seniors. This year, We did a lot of things. We sold magazines, Christmas cards, and annuals. We also had a chili supper, gave a play entitled Let 'er Go Gallagher, had our pictures taken, and ordered our invitations, caps, and gowns. We neither gained nor lost anyone. Before we ended our road to education at Union Center, we took a nip to Washington, D. C. and New York City. We returned home for graduation exercises on May 4 and 5. As all good things have to come to an end, we, the Seniors, wish to say good-bye and good luck to all the faculty and students at Union Center. Sincerely, The Senior Class of 1958
