CLASS POEH As our days in school are numbered, Some are happy, others sad, But in school we cannot stay, Because our work we must do. we hope with our knowledge collected From our teachers, friends, and books, To carry out our motto to the fullest, UDon't wish for success, work for it.U As we journey through life's problems, Always trying, never stopping. Till at last we reach our goal, Knowing that we did our best. In the struggle we endured, Fighting, cutting our own path. The only thing that is accomplished, Is what we put forth ourselves. ' So in parting from our school, We, the Seniors, ask ou selves, WAre we satisfied with our work?n Because, what is done, cannot be changed. +Dal1is Hostetler NChubN- Do you ever talk in your sleep? Mr. Miller- No, but I often talk in other peoples. 'a

CLASS PROPHECY One bright, sunny afternoon during the summer of 1954, a clear, surprising- ly familiar voice came over the new radio station, W. C. H. S. The voice con- tinued: UGood afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is Radio Station, W. C. H. S. in Walnut Creek greeting you, and bringing to you your new program, UStars in the World of Todayn, or, a synopsis of the careers of the alumni of Walnut Creek High School. Today we have a program that means very much to me, because it is about my own class of 1948. when this class graduated, they advanced into many different fields, and as you will see, they have succeeded.n To hear this voice again was wonderful, and I knew that this must be Dallas Hostetler. But to get back to this all-important program--HFirst, there was Clair Hershberger,UChubH, as we all called him. Even if he was a little quiet at times, we knew there uas something great hidden in his brilliant mind. And so there was. At the age of only twenty-four, he is one of the country's greatest mathematicians. Soon after high school graduation, he entered college and advanced so rapidly, he was given a good teaching position in one of the country's leading universities. He is also accepted in most social functions because of his continual witty and bright remarks. Among other things, he has devised a method that all students welcome. It is how one can come to class with his lessons prepared and receive good grades without studying. Remember how he talked about that in 1948? CIf only he could have told us, then.D Another great feat that has practically nstumpedn the world is his discovery that the number of days in a year was incorrect. By careful studying, he arrived at the conclusion that February has twenty-nine days every year. Since he was rather bashful arou d girls in high school, we wonder if he wants leap year every year!! But Clair is now happily married and residing at his mansion in California. Marilyn Weaver was always a consistent person, with her talent for working and doing a job well, she also advanced. After school, she worked at different jobs u til she became vice-president of a large firm of dress designers. The many lovely styles you have seen the past few years are popular because of her ability in design for pleasant appearance and neatness. After a short time, she was offered the office of president but she refused. Why? To fulfill the career she always wanted. You know, she always did have a weakness for men's blue eyes, and now they have captu ed her again--this time for keeps. I hear she igbvegyhhappy, and helping to make everyone else so, too, around their Boston s ur ome. Next, there is Dorothy Maust. After being a head waitress in.a restaurant for a time, she went to Business College. Since she always was neat, accu atef andepregisea sggesgggagzs an ixpsriencedtstenogragher.
