Schools Waterloo, Tudiaua Dedécattou We, the class of 1956 of Waterloo-Grant Township School dedicate this, THE ROSEBUD, toour parents and teachers, who have made it pos- sible for our education. Thank you for your patience, guidance, loyalty, and co-operation in making our high school career a success. Our “Sheme Each year classes have racked their brains trying tothink of a theme for their annual. This year, since it was our turn, we began by asking each other, ''What is an annual? An annual, we found, is more than a book; it is something to look back on, something to laugh at, and some- thing to treasure. Thinking of this, we began the search for a theme that would most nearly describe our feelings. We were quite lucky as there just hap- pened to be a tune on the hit-parade that suited our needs perfectly. ''Moments to Remember was its title. This could represent the sent- imental side of our annual, but an annual is not all sentiment, there are things to laugh at too. So we added our duck friend to help balance sen- timent with humor. For that finishing touch we purchased what we think is an attractive cover. On it you may see just a few of the activities we shall always Carry in our memories. With the cover and theme in mind we set forth to bring you this-- our yearbook of '56. The Annual Staff This page sponsored by G.O.

For, you see, this was the day we began our climb to educational glory-our first day at school. Little did we know how very important these first days would be to us. Before long we had advanced to junior high with 25 in our class. Wewere all intrigued by the vast upstairs and thrilled by the association with the high school classmen. The years seemed slow, but soon 1952 came; and with it came 33 freshmen, 23 of whom had previously attended Waterloo. The other 10 came from the surrounding country schools. Our freshmen year was mostly a ''get acquainted year.'' Mr. Claud Leslie was our class sponsor. The next fall found us in the capable hands of Mr. Albert Berg, who dili- gently prodded us to success in our Christmas card sales. Another big event that year was our class sweaters. The halls were aglow with scarlet and white brilliance. Junior year, Mr. L. C. Ford became our class sponsor and guided us through another successful year, this time in the concession stand. We re- ceived our class rings and also presented our first play, ''Spooks and Spasms. Everyone agreed on a splendid performance. Now we came to the senior year. We found Mr. Robert Dove behind us all the time. He was always eager tohelp and good at giving us a push in the right direction. Through his constant belief in us we were proud to net over $600 in magazine sales, more than any other class had ever made. We seniors also gave a play 'Hillbilly Wedding. Our profits exceeded our goal, and thus we were proud. It was said that our hillbilly play was the best seen, heard, and liked for many years. For this we thank you, the public. As seniors we have still many things to do. Soon our senior trip will be behind us, and we shall have our diplomas. Then we will have come to the final step in our high school learning. From then on it will be up to us as in- dividuals. The world, ina sense, lies in our hands; we can make or break it. Iam sure that if we apply our learnings from Waterloo, we shall not go wrong.

Judy dreams of a kitchen with table made of chrome. With it she wants a husband, children, and a home, Bill is a mathematician, who never fails to know Of a shorter way to do it-- despite Mr, Ford's No! Punk is tops in all sports and is president of our class, Whenever he isn't very busy, he calls on a certain lass, Pat, as a fellow classmate, we all loudly hail. For her there will never be but one guy--Dale. Byron, a bright scholar, loves all the gals. A studious student, he and math are great pals. Glenda, a good artist, plans to do her part In keeping the class's honor-- by use of her good art, Alice, a good waitress, loves her busy work, When something needs doing, she doesn't shirk, Don, our sound effects man, did his job very well. As a classmate and friend, he's considered swell, Bob is one of the ten guys on our basketball team; And I'm sure you will agree he's right on the beam, Janet R, plans to wed soon a guy named Jerry, We wish them good luck after they marry. A fine nurse we may have in Charlotte someday. Unless that handsome sailor leads her astray. Carole cheers for our team and also for Herbie. In our class play she was a perfect Ceelie, ” During classes sometimes Mark receives a remindful tap For using that precious time to take his usual nap, Herma is quite vivacious, cute, and also smart.

Whenever he isn't busy, he's a happy-go-lucky guy. Nancy is a friend of all and is short and sweet. For a guy named Jerry, her heart will always beat. Barbara, known as Bobbie, is usually quite shy, But watch out! She'll catch some unsuspecting guy, LaMarr is keen on girls-- one of them is Pat. He never has much to say except during a chat, You have read all about the class of '56 now. After reading this, do you wonder why or how? Dorothy Bricker Klyta Collins Deanna McBride Compliments of ALBRIGHT 'S STORE, Corunna, Indiana “The (Class Prophecy Way 20, 1965 Wé Charlotte, As Jerry and I were packing our treasured belongings, preparing to move into our newly built home, we ran across our old ‘56 annual, Wehada lot of work to do, but I couldn't help but sit down and go over my high school memories and the fun we had together. Did yousee the picture of the captains of the Zollner Pistons and Rochester Royals basketball teams in the Water- loo Press? They were none other than our own Punk Drerup and Bill Dickerhoff. I read in NEWSWEEK that the Army drafted Mike Sweet last month, and now the government and the Army officials are chasing him all over Europe because he went A,W,O,L, One of the rescued passengers of the large ocean liner that was destroyed last week was Herma Stevens, She was better known as Madame Lola Damar, the famous millionaire, By the way, Bob Robinsonhas recently won the title from Chalres Atlas as the World's Most Perfectly Developed Man, Despite his fame he is going ahead with his life-long ambition of selling hot dogs in Siberia. Carole and Herb Leins now own an onion farm outside of Corunna, You can go by any sunny afternoon; and you will see Carole, Herb, and all the little Leinses weeding onions, Nancy and Jerry Boman bought out Sinclair Oil Company yesterday.

Alan Bowers is now living in anigloo with his Eskimo wife. They are raising penguins and have employed Alice eee to care for their penguins, It seems they will lose her soon, though, because she has fallen for a cute Eskimo, Of course you remember Judy Daniels and Klyta Collins, They have gone into darkest Africa hunting the handsome hunk of man, Tarzan, Mark Smith, the boy who was the crooner at Waterloo, was the star of Hit Parade and the idol of the bobby- soxers until he caught claustrophobia and cracked his voice, In the local paper there was an article on LaMarr Wells, whois still wrecking cars, I suppose it is allright, though, since he now owns a combined car lot and junk yard and has to have something to run his business, Dorothy Bricker is doing very well in the field of nursing, She is the Superintendent of Nurses at Richmond's Insane Asylum, Our quiet little Pat Drerup is now married to Dale, Barbara Werner is still the quiet and busy girl she always was, She is now employed at W,H,S, as chief cook and bottle washer. Larry Walberry is still drilling oil wells in Texas and breaking all the ladies’ hearts, He is still the most eli- gible bachelor in the United States, Be sure to write and congratulate Gordon Bard since he has just become the new principal of W,H.S, It is time to close for now, Be sure to tell your hubby and all the little ones hi.

(eae or + elite The Girls Quartette has been busy again this year enter- taining at banquets, parties, and programs. Three of the members will graduate this year; this creates a real problem of replacement. Besides singing alone, they have been fre- quently singing with the accompaniment of a small piece band. This has met with much favor. They are again under the direction of Mrs. Voss, who originated the very popular group several years ago. She will hold tryouts this spring to fill the vacancies so the new quartette can practice through- out the summer vacation. The Boys Quartet is anew group organized this year under the direction of Mr, Workman. They rehearse one hour a week, The quartet has been working on such songs as Fare- well” from Walt Disney's DAVY CROCKETT and anew arrangement of an old song It Had To Be You.” The boys expect their first public performance to be sometime during the spring. 52 FIRST ROW: Janet Bowers, Peggy Myers, Carole Sebert, Sally Kelley, Carole Warner, Joan DeWitt, Carolyn Hovarter, Glenda Fitch, Karen Voss, Laura Wagner, Carolyn Weicht, Patricia Piatek, Mr. Workman, SECOND ROW: Nancy Wallace, Judy Duncan, Janet Roose, Vada McDougall, Ellen Matson, Gordon Bard, Keith Miser, Eric Kuykendall, Rosalie Harding, Janet Bergstrom, Sharon Crooks, Patricia Drerup, Barbara Werner.

The Waterloo baseball teain had a fair season. We won three games while losing five against tough competition. The record could have been better with another good pitcher. Next year's team ought to do better be- cause the only players by graduatiou are Owen Drerup and Bill Dickerhoff. The Corner Conference tourney was held at home. We playedFremont in our firsttourney games. It wasclose most of the way. They were leading 5 to 4 when we came to bat the last time. With runners on secona and third base and two outs we hit a double and won 6 to 5 ina well played game. In our next tournamenttest we played thefavorites from Avilla. We won 11 to 13 ina well played game. This gave us a change to play inthe cham- pionship game against Hamilton. We hadled all the way until! the last inning when they tied the score.
