Bucktown has really grown to be quite a respectable place. We crossed the railroad tracks and stopped at the Bakery on Main street. The Bakery is now owned and operated by Dave Plessinger. Betty Kelch Plessinger waited on us and told us all the gossip. It seemed that Richard Brandon, most valuable player, class of ’47, was coach at Versailles. He had had a winning football team for six consecutive years. Darold Pierron nows owns the largest wholesale concern in Darke County. We went down to school to see if there were any improvements there. Mr. Rhoades, Mr. Zeller, Mr. Fields, Mr. Hoerner, Mrs. Grillot, Miss Smith and Mrs. Young were still there. Everyone was quite happy about something. We discovered later that it was because Mr. Rhoades had sold insurance policies to the graduating class. We hurried down to the history room and there we found as our example of Ancient History, Mr. Field’s Ford. As we left this room we saw Miss P. C. Prakel, our only old maid school teacher. She is teaching music at V. H. S. We visited the Chemistry Lab and saw to our horror that Mary Lou Graves was still trying to pass. As we left we saw Frances White and Dorothy Berger waiting for their children. They had had a double wedding the summer after graduation and were both very happy. We asked about Jo Ann Headley. Frances told us that several years previous Jo had taken over Subler’s Transfer now called Meyer’s Transfer. Our whole graduating class of 1947 seemed to be well and happy so Junior and I took Father Time to his home. Then Junior clutched his nylons tightly and started home- He was going to use them as a peace offering (he was henpecked and it was late). I myself trotted merrily off in the direction from which I came. —Alice Kruckeberg “47”. Twenty-two

Froebe is known as our “Chemistry Gal”, Tease her with acid and watch her howl. Not another guy you’ll find like Jim, With all the teachers he’s out on a limb. Graves has a portable which causes much strife, She tunes in , in chorus, on “John’s Other Wife”. A friendly girl, this gal Florine, Without a smile she’s never seen. Jo Ann’s quite swell, we’re not a liar, If you don’t believe us go ask Meyer. Henry’s a guy in our English class, Who gets teased about his friendly lass. Our Paul is very keen, Can always be heard if not seen. “Pete” he’s called by the ones who like him best, He makes high grades on the annual chemistry test. Betty, now she’s really brave, Because, you see, she goes with “Dave”. Phil is the president of our Senior group, To help you out, too low he would not stoop. Here is a Knight that isn’t in the dark, He’s a whiz in basketball and in football scores a mark. Alvira is a girl who seems so very shy, Although she doesn’t say much she doesn’t pass an eye. A girl like Alice can’t be found, Unless you look for miles around. Ora is a guy whose always full of fun, And according to the teachers he’s always on the run. Ford is the car, the fellow is Dick, If he drives thirty-five he must be badly sick. Yvonne is a girl that’s really quite a dame, To catch that guy at Yorkshire seems to be her aim. Ralph is a guy who is quite petite, He shoves his girl’s mother in the backseat. Magoto is the fellow who flirts with all the girls, He whistles, takes souvenirs, and tugs away at curls. Mary Jane is a girl who enjoys her music much, She listens to the masters, operas and such. Twenty-four
