If you ever become seriously ill, and want a sure cure, gain admittance to Mast's Cureall Clinic in Cleveland. Waiting to cheer you is Gladys M st, whose sunny disposition can't fail. Remember, how even in high school, she would know and relate some of the experiences of nurses? Well, She Started at Hillersburg's Pomerene Hospital and learned the fu damentals, and then with a little more schooling, she entered her present position, and is doing a very fine job. Then there is Dorothy Hershberger, who was supposedly the most intelligent nmmber of the senior class of '48, After gaining honors all through high school, she graduated with more achievements. After graduating from high school she continued her studious ways in college, where, after two years of service on the college newspaper, she was given augromising position on one of the cou try's leading newspapers, the aily H , formerly the Holmes County Farmer Hub. After several years of newspaper work in which she almost doubted the circulation of th a she retired to be married to Horace Greely, VIII, the e p per Sgttgr of the Daily Hub., CThis bit of chatter was contributed by Clair. Thank HThis concludes our program for today. If there are any of you desiring further information about this 1948 class of NStars in the World of Todayn, please write to this station. Now, in behalf of the entire staff, I wish to say 'Thank you' and remember, 'Don't itch for success, scratch for it'. This is W. C. H. S. in Walnut Creek, Ohio.W Since Dallas didn't say anything about himself, here is a brief history about his advancement. He always said he wanted to get away from Walnut Creek, and he did. He became interested in radio, broadcasting, and television, and after Studying awhile, he started off in Holmes County. Since he knew a lot about the Hilltop, the former cite of the school, he investigated and clenched his idea. Do you recall how persistent Miss Troyer, was in trying to persuade Dallas to give an oration in high school, and how reluctant he was? He has regretted his mistake since, but his voice is still clear and smooth, more so since he has overcome Nstage frightn, which helps immensely in a great career, that he, like his classmates, has chosen.

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.

CLASS HISTORY In about three months from the date of this writing, February 12, the senior class of 1948 will be history. In a year or two, noone will even remember who were the members of the graduating class of 1948. So, Ulest we forgetu, here is a brief summary of our tenure in High School. We started off, naturally, as most pupils must, as Freshmen. Not much can be said of this year. 'We were only the little people who sat in the front end of the study hall, and were supposed to keep out of the way of the upper classmen. Our class at that time was even more unevenly distributed than it is now. There were eight girls and two boys. In our Sophmore year, we were not quite so little or ngreenn, but we were still considered underclassmen. Our ratio between boys and girls was axlittle more even this year, as Mary Louise Miller dropped out, and her place was taken by a boy, Bernard Schie. This made the ratio of boys to girls 7:3. This year our class won honors on the Wstudents high in Scholarshipn list of the Cou ty. This list was made up of students who rank highest in the Every-Pupil and District Scholarship tests. Dorothy Hershberger ranked first in the cou ty in English, Dorothy Maust, third, Marilyn Weaver, fourth, Clair Hershberger, seven- th, and Dorothy Zook, eleventh. In General Science, Clair Hershberger ranked fourth and Dorothy Hershberger, sixth. In our Junior year, our busiest year, we presented a play entitled HFree Adviceu, published an Anvil, prepared the Junior-Senior banquet, and decorated for the baccalaureate and com encement. In addition to this, we also won honors again on the Hstudents high in scholarshipu list. Dorothy Hershberger, Clair Hershberger, Marilyn Weaver and Dorothy Maust were on the English Uhigh listn. Dallas Hostettler was high in World and American History, and Clair Hershberger and Dorothy Hershberger were high in Plane Geometry. . At last, our fourth and final year rolled around. Now we were the Seniors, the upperclassmeng the ones who were supposed to be looked upon with respect. We all had to take the Senior Scholarsh p Test given in Millersburg. The results will not be published untill later, but we feel confident Cwe hope! that a few Walnut Creek Seniors will win honors. Only recently, tests were given in the county in four subjects, Mathematics, English, Science, and History. Dorothy Hersh erger, Dorothy Maust, and Marilyn Weaver were qualified for English. Dallas Hostettler in History, and Clair Hershberger in Mathematics. Now we are patiently awaiting the time whenbaccalaureateand commencement roll around, and we leave the school for the last time. Those who hope to graduate are Dorothy Maust, Marilyn Weaver, Gladys Mast, Dorothy Hershberger, Dorothy look, Anna Mae Stutzman, Dallas Hostettler and Clair Hershberger.
