Our grade and junior high teachers were very helpful in starting us on the long road of knowledge. We thirty-nine eager freshmen began in 1951 and had the thrill, that only freshmen possess, of being considered as higher-ups. We are sorry that the following had to withdraw from our class: James DeLong, Rose Faulkner, Miles Fluke, Roston Hall, Richard McNall, Richard Payton, David Walters, Robert Wilcox, Analie Wiseman, and Nancy Zonker. We are happy that the following new members joined us: Donald Cupp, Larry Deardorf, June Kuykendall, and Sonia Tarney. Mr. Claud Leslie, our freshman class sponsor placed us in the hands of Mr. Max Riggin, our sophomore sponsor, who guided us very successfully in our Christmas card sales. We purchased ourclass sweaters during this sophomore year and proudly made our debut in cardinal and white beauty. The junior year startedusoffwithanewtask,aplay. OUT OF THIS WORLD was the most successful play given in many years. The concession standalso was very helpful to us towards our senior trip, and everyone enjoyed the fun of operating it. We purchased our class rings during this year, and they were ad- mired by all. | As seniors, we presented another very successful play HAIL THE HUNKER- |ING HERO for which we owe Mrs. Love our deepest gratitude. Approximately |five hundred dollars from magazine sales was added to our treasury for our educational trip to Washington in the spring and THE ROSEBUD. In May our commencement was one of the most treasured memories from our twelve years of education. Cass Prophecy Waterloo, Indiana May 6, 1965 Dear Joan, The funniest thing happeued yesterday afternoon. You know how girls the age of mine just love to go through old trunks; well, the twins are no different. |They got the idea yesterday and did just that. And Jo, guess what they ran merossss An old ROSEBUD dated 1955! When I started looking at it, it surely brought back a lot of old memories. Remember Sonia Tarney and her dream of living on a farm? It looks as if her dream came true when she and Jim inherited that ranch in Wyoming. And who would ever have thought that Jane would be content as ahousewife after having been in charge of the line stewardesses for T. W. A.? Of course, you remember Carl and Jeannette (Lockwood) Feller, don't you? Jeannette is going on a concert tour in London so they will be going abroad again. While they are over there, they plan to stop and see Tom Piatek. It surely was wonderful when he was sent to London as radio correspondent for iio. C, 15 Did you read in the CORUNNA TIMES about the new Mayor ofCorunna? Maybe you didn't recognize her marriedname. We know her as Jannette Greuter. Do you recall Melvin Rynearson and Dale Smith? They certainly have ac- complished something, haven't they? Just think, taking a successful trip to Mars and back! Looking on through our annual I noticed that some of the girls and fellows who were together through high school have certainly chosen different fields -- June Kuykendall and Ann Harding for instance. June is now the dean of girls at Waterloo's Secretarial College, while Ann is a missionary in India. And Nancy Johnson! You know, of course, that Nancy has just became the editor of the WATERLOO PRESS: and Donna Vee Till is in charge of all the PRESS'S reporters. My heavens, it seems as if Dotty Kims (we knew her as Dorothy Koon) is always appearing as guest guitar player and singer on all of our local ir. V. stations. You haven't forgotten Johnny Neible, the speed demon of our class, have you? You know he won the Indianapolis Five Hundred Mile Race on Memorial Day last year. Our class has definitely gone from one extreme to the other with Johnny as a race driver and Jim Stahl's havingahorse win the Kentucky Derby. Several of the fellows that were in our class are out of state now. Jack D. Wallace is running a twenty-thousandacre ranchin Arizona, and Larry Deardorf is a big time oilman in Texas. Raymond Squier even went as far away as north- ern Canada. He is general manager of a logging firm there with Don Boyd as his head foreman. Two of our former classmates made it to Washington, D. C. Virginia Payton is the new corresponding secretary for the White House, and Jack L. Wallace is now one of the judges in the Supreme Court. Just think of all the now famous men who graduated with us! Jerry Ordway is the president of Ordway Drug Company in New York; Lee Matson is an architect designing homes in Beverly Hills, California; and Don Cupp is head electrical engineer at General Electric. Two of the members of the class of '55 stayed with sports, too. DeWayne Schlosser is now playing guard position for the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. AndI read in the paper just last week that Paul Werner set a new world record for a one-minute mile run. Remember Murven Tuttle? He is now editor of that new horror magazine PAO Teer rir RY Pile Of course, some ofthe members ofour class stayed close to home. Howard Hall has just became WKJG T. V. weatherman, and Ruth Ann Deetz is now chief beautician at Warner Beauty College in Fort Wayne. Well, Joan, so much for all this reminiscing. How does it feel to be at home with your family now? Do you miss your jobat International Business College? It certainly seems that you would. My heavens, it's almost five o'clock. I'd better close for now and get supper on. Bye now, Pat P. S. I'll bet you're proud of that twin brother of yours! Imagine his being the star of that broadway hit HAIL, THE HUNKERING HERO! The next time he is home tell him I said hello. 16 Class Poem The year was '36 or '37 When each of us became alive. We were sent straight down from heaven To become The Class of '55. Donald Boyd is on his way To Barbara D.'s no doubt. She'll probably be his wife someday. We hope she doesn't kick him out. Donald Cupp has traveled much. What he'll be there is no tellin’. To make him stutter, blush, and such Just ask him about Ellen. Larry Deardorf, new this year, With great size he was not blessed. Once he picks out his career, To fate he'll le ave the rest. Ruth Ann Deetz, postmaster's kin, A typing whiz, you know. To get the car she must begin With a promise to drive slow. Carl Feller, altar bound, Is dead set in his ways. His leading lady he has found, So numbered are his days. Jannette G. from Corunna hails, Her enemies are few, Is popular with all the males And the girls? -- they like her, too. Howard Hall, we have not heard What someday he will be. Unless he slips us just a word We'll have to wait and see. Ann Harding, faithful friend To many whom she knows, Just a pencil to her lend And she'll sketch your favorite pose. Nancy Johnston, small and quiet, Has never much to say; But you can bet that there's a riot When she doesn't get her way. Dorothy Koon in government sat While the teacher tried to teach. The teacher said, That's enough of that; Stop using your freedom of speech!” The rule to follow, as June might say, Is simply, plainly this; Be contented every day, And fun you will not miss. Jeannette L,, drum majorette, Is not considered poor; But never let her get in debt; Her name cards still aren't paid for. For her temper she is widely known, For also this and that, Her personality is all her own; She's the one and only PAT, Lee Matson, for the speech class play He really made us wait; It was three weeks if it was a day, Till he brought the scenery paint. Johnn Neible, full ot zeal, Quite often in a spot, Watch out when he's behind the wheel; He'd mow you down as not! Jerry Ordway, pal of many, A generous guy, by far, At play rehearsals spent every penny And gave each an ice cream bar, Tom Piatek, a ladies’ man, Is not tied down by one, Gets by with anything he can, And has his own ideas of fun . Melvin S. Rynearson Is not so very tall; Dependable to get things done, So we don't mind at all. When De Schlosser took up basketball, It was really a good omen; But ruination came his way (1 mean--Norma Hohman). Dale S. with many books To the study-hall did leap; The teacher gave him funny looks Cause all he did was sleep. Joan S., as one can see, Could easily go far; But her college plans may spoiled be By a certain Kenny R, This page sponsored by AL'S GROCERY, Corunna, Indiana. John S. was Schnorkel in our play; For acting dumb he had the knack; He seemed to have a head of clay, Or WAS that all an act? Jim Stahl from Ashley came; He fit in right away. Carolyn, too, may have that name, So we have head some say, Raymond Squier in a hurry Around the corner he did turn; The reason for this crazy scurry Is a girl who lives in Auburn, Sonia T., our soda jerk, Is usually on the beam; But often she ignores her work And thinks of a special Marine. Donna Till from our own town Enrolled here all twelve years, She sometimes wears a little frown, But has no major fears, In every class 'most every day If Murven T. was there, You can bet he had his say; Small wonder we got nowhere. Jack D, Wallace, an F,F,A, boy And a good one too, I'll bet, He needs someone to share his joy; A girl friend he should get. Bookkeeping, Jack Lee confessed, Came through to him quite dim; The only way he got it best Was if someone did it for him, Paul Werner, a lad from the farm, No better can be found. To man or beast he'd do no harm, A good guy all around. Now if someday you chance to see A poem that's a great one--- The authors you can bet won't be Jane Miller or Virginia Payton.

This is the combined junior and beginning band composed of students of the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. It is the objective of these organizations to train the young musicians in the fundamentals of music so they will later be- come valuable assets to the high school band. As a part of their program, they are taught how to play and care for their instruments. In addition to the me- chanics of performance they are shown how to understand such basic theories of music as sight reading, scales, technique, tone production, and rythmic un- derstanding. Some of these students participated in the solo and ensemble con- | test on February 5, 1954; they were Ronnie Miller, Terry Hartman, Jack Stroh, Ted Bachtel, and Kenneth Eastridge.

The Future Farmers of America is a voluntary national organization composed of boys who are enrolled in vocational agriculture or who have completed two years of vocational agriculture in high school. The motto is “Learning to do; doing to learn; earning to live; living to serve. The chapter consists of twenty-one active members with Carl Feller, president; Jack Wallace, vice president; Melvin Rynearson, secretary; Jack D, Wallace, treasurer; Don Gurtner, reporter; and Dale Smith, sentinel. Some of the activities of the past year have consisted of farming a nine acre field of corn from which the chapter received fifty percent of the profit and planting four acres of soybeans on the school's ground from which they received one hundred percent of the returns. Three hundred dollars was spent on the purchase of a television set for the school. A father and son banquet was held and the star-chapter farmer and star-chapter greenhand farmer were honored. The chapter had a pest contest and sold garden seeds for the Vitality Seed Company. The chapter also attended the Indiana State Fair last fall.

We have changed our style of singing because of the lack of tenor singers. Our new music is written for soprano, alto, and baritone. On Monday the full chorus meets; on Wednesday just the girls, who are learning three and four part treble music; and Friday we combine again.

Out Waterloo Wildcats baseballteam enjoyeda more successful sea- son this year, winning two out of our seven games. Many of the team members were inexperienced; this fact proved to be our big handicap against the tough corner conference.

Playing good basketball against a taller, veteranteam, the Wildcats suf- fered their first loss by a score of 49 to 52. This was to be the first in a string of seven straight losses for the Wildcats, who saw Harlan, River- dale, Butler, Avilla, Hamilton, and Ligonier take their measure before they were able to grab their first win against Ashley. During this time the Wildcats played some excellent basketball; but strong competition, lack of height, and inexperience in the back court seemed to be the fac- tors that victory used in eluding them. County tourney time saw Waterloo draw Riverdale and Ashley draw Butler. Riverdale once again proved stronger and defeated us, only to lose to the eventualchampions, Butler. January 14 gave the Wildcats their third win of the season when they defeated P. Lake in a wellplayed game. Garrett and Fremont defeated the Wildcats before they were able to obtain another win, this one being against Churubusco. Wolcottville, Huntertown, and Albion were the next three teams to defeat the Wildcats before they were able to defeat Ashley for the third time. The Wildcats were looking forwardto the sectionaltourney as they felt that Lady Luck had yet to smile on them.

The Bteam is made up for the most part of the younger boys, or boys who have less experience. As this team is the feeder team for the varsity, we are in- terested inthose boys who have possibilities of becoming varsity players in the future. Here we try to give as many boys as much experience as possible dur- ing the season. That is our reason for carrying from twelve to fifteen boys on this group. This year the B team was made up of two juniors, seven sopho- mores, and six freshmen. More time and effort spent on six or eight of these boys would have paidoff in games won, but we wouldhave sacrificed training the larger group in sportsmanship and experience on the playing floor.
