They were: Barbara Allen, Alice Cotton, Phyllis Greve, Bob Greve, Bob Hannah, Bob Har- is, Richard Hockett, Phillip Hodgkin, Dorothy Lou Foster, Jane Martin, Betty Jo Shular, Donn Spencer. Russell Stockwell, Leonard Tolliver, Mary Lee Tolliver, Connie Van Hook, and Donald Warren. Mr. Hallet was principal then and remained so for nine years. Miss Moore was our first instructor. The next year we entered the school under the guidance of Mrs. Rose Glascock. Mary Brown, Catherine Frisz, Darlene Jackson, Fred Pittman, and Harold Starns were added to the group. We lost Barbara Allen, Bob Hannah, Leonard Tolliver, and Alice Cotton. In the third year we were divided. The instructors were Mrs. Glascock and Mrs. Evans. We gained Betty Handley, Lucille McCloud, Ellen Reed, and Eva Jane Osborne. We lost Bob Greve and Fred Pittman. The fourth year we were united again under the guidance of Mrs. Evans. We gained Winton Carroll, Charles Evans, and Howard Lewis. We lost Jane Martin from our group. Mrs. Doris Grimes guided us through the fifth grade. We gained Carol Jean Clore and Marlene Cox. Mildred Stewart joined us in the middle of the year. At the same time we lost Winton Carroll, Charles Evans, and Howard Lewis. In the sixth, things went along smoothly with Mrs. Grimes again helping us. We gained and lost Arlene Crimes. We also lost Bob Harris, but gained Kenneth Rogers, Patty Collins, and Lester Fulford. Then came the big step. We moved up-stairs into the seventh grade. Here we were joined by Don Crausare. At the end of the eighth grade we lost Don Crausare and Catherine Frisz. And then we were freshmen. The seniors gave us a welcome party the first week of school. We gained Lela Hutson, Lorene Staggs, and Paul Ebert from Byron, Bob French from New Ross, and the twins, Cathleen and Carolyn Cord, from Crawfordsville. We then were sophomores. That year Mr. Grimes became principal. We gained Martha Day, and lost Paul Ebert. We had a very full year as juniors. We gave a successful play entitled “Bridges to Burn. This was under the direction of Mrs. Tatlock. We had the concessions at school and at the county tourney. In the Spring we gave a formal reception at the Municipal Club House for the seniors. . The theme of the reception was Gay 90V This was under the direction of Mrs. Milligan. We gained Ruby Henderson from Darlington and lost Martha Day and Patty Collins. We then entered the last step in our learning at Waveland High School. Our final group consists of 23 members. We gained Kenneth Rogers and gained and lost Bettv Tracy and Donald Warren. Near Christmas the juniors gave a very lovely reception for us. We published an annual and sponsored a variety show. Our senior play, given April 13 and 14, was entitled “Lily, the Felon’s Daughter.” As a final step, we are going to Washington, D. C. for a seven-day trip. As we draw near the end of learning at Waveland High, many of us are planning to seek adventures or more learning. But we will always look back on Waveland school days with many memories of the fun and good times, the friends made, and the knowledge gained while there. Page Four Donn L. Spencer, Pres. Pres.

Signed and sealed this 21st day of April, 1950. Page Ten Senior Prophecy Mr. and Mrs. Gale Grimes were seated in front of their fireplace one Christmas evening in 1959; Gale was enjoying the paper. No wonder; Some of the articles read something like this: New York, N.Y.—Dec. 23, 1959— Dick” Hockett, who got married soon after graduation from high school in 1950 to a mean old battle-ax whom he murdered the other day, is now on trial for his life. But he doesn’t care because he knows that once again he will be with his charming wife. He says he is get- ting lonesome for her nagging voice. This has caused a delay in the trial. The jury can’t stand for any- one to be satisfied. Who could with a jury consisting of: Gale Grimes, Cliff Davis, Clara Lou Milligan, Hose Peck. Lucille Hoffhaus, Jeanette Tatlock, Ed Hoffhaus, Lawrence Hazzlett. and the most cruel of all—Nor- man Walker. ADVERTISEMENT: Talent Show” headed by Professor Lucy Hoffhaus. With a cast consisting of only two people. But they are very talented! A wonderful opera singer whom all know as Phyllis Greve and the star of the show—a handsome young man from away out west who is famous for his yodel- ing, guitar playing, foot patting, and singing of that ever famous lulaby, I’m My Own Grandpa.” Not Harold Starns, but the one-and-only, NORMIE WALKER. Another ad from the class of ’50 was from “Shular’s Beauty Shoppe.” (Betty Jo has quite a knack for giving permanents. But the other day while Gale was getting groceries down-town he heard a scream coming from Shular’s Shoppe. He investigated (curiosity was too great.) and found that Betty Jo had given Lucille Spraggs a Crew-cut.” Some of the other old women thought it looked pretty nifty. Now all of the women in the vicinity are wearing them. BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT: Born to the parents of Donn and Rosemary (French) Spencer was a pair of twins weighing only two pounds. (Gale thinks they are cute—too bad they had to be rats. They do have cute names too—“Blackie and Snowball.” Gale saw this on the Sports Page.—Harold Starns, who now pitches for the St. Louis Browns, said, the other day after a game with the Yankees, You all know that any player that hits the scoreboard in Yankee Stadium gets a new suit from one of the home-town merchants.—Well, after that game, the Yankees are the best dressed team in baseball.” Another ad read:—‘‘Come and meet your friends at the Tolliver Cafe and Taxidermist” for self-service. Our motto is: ‘‘Stuff Yourself.” Mary Lee Tolliver is the Proprietor. Gale glanced back at the front page again and found something that he had missed at the first glance.— Skunkvalley, Ind. Dec. 23, 1959.—Ray T. Miller has been crowned just recently as Watermelon King of Skunkvallcy for 1959.” He was given the prize for swiping the most watermelons without getting caught. On the Society Page he found:—The Taxi-Cab Service Co.” had their monthly meeting last night. The meeting was called to order by Cliff Davis, the president. (Gale thought, Well, can you imagine that! Back in ’49 he couldn’t even herd one of those things.”) Cliff says “You may charge your bills to us but you also leave your lives in charge!” Washington D.C.—Dec. 22, 1959.—Jeanette Tatlock, who took care of all of Waveland High School’s banking accounts back in ’50, was just recently appointed head of the “U. S. Treasury.” (Gale wouldn’t mind that job if they would let him take samples home.) Crawfordsville, Ind.—Dec. 23, 1959.—John Ward, the County Superintendent of Schools, was arrested last night along with some other men. He was caught playing poker with a marked deck. He says, ‘‘It was well worth a try. I had won $432,000 and Bob F rench’s trousers.” Runt” Hazlett, the great American scientist, said that in the early 1820’s the majority of the popu- lation of Vermont were sheep, not people, and he has come to the conclusion that because of this the sheep should run the government. After all, the majority rules. HOSPITAL NOTES: Virginia Moore was taken to the Culver Hospital in Crawfordsville late last night. It seems that she had been plowing the snow in the Frozen Foods Department of one of the gro- cery stores when the water on her brain froze over. They kept her in a very warm room all night and she is recovering very favorably. FOR SALE: One large pig in very good condition except for flat feet. Weighs 2 ton and goes by the name of anything you can think of to call him. Call Ratcliff’s Poultry Farm. Phone W-1949-H. Mrs. Grimes had been enjoying herself all of the time too. She had been looking over the cards that some of the Senior Class of ’49 and ’50 had sent them. For a brief summary here is what they said. (Quite interesting, Huh!?) Dot (Foster) Arvin says they have three mean little boys. Their names are Tom, Tommy, and Thomas. (Something new in triplet line.) Betty Handley says, ‘‘I’m getting adjusted to the life of an old maid.” She has accepted the job as cus- todian of the Waveland High School since Mr. Ewbank isn’t there anymore. It seems he had taken over as the second A1 Jolson. Some coal dust accidently blackened his face so he took up Jolson’s profession as a blackface singer. He did quite well at this until one day he got a transfer. He is now shoveling coal con- stantly but is having difficulty getting accustomed to the hot climate. There hadn’t been much news about Ruby Henderson until the Grimes got a letter from her. She seems to be a little down in the dumps because some other girl took her boyfriend, Artie Shaw, away from her. The name of the girl is Ruth Johnson.

Senior Prophecy Continued from Page Eleven Phil Hodgkin sent them a real expensive one. He’s made his fortune like John D. Rockefeller who has made his fortune, not by selling shoe laces but by the constant selling of doughnut holes. Lela Hudson really liked the name Hudson, so she says, because she married that famous Henry I. Q. Hudson, (head of the Hudson Manufacturing Company.) I wonder which Hudson she is driving to- day? (The car or the MAN?) Lorene and Russell Stockwell sent a nice Xmas card which said approximately the following: We have three kids and they’re all just like Russ. Yesterday I found the youngest son with a rope tied around his waist and strung to the rafters in the garage. When I asked him what he was doing he said he was hanging himself. Then I asked him why he didn’t tie the rope around his neck and he politely informed me that he had tried it but he couldn’t breathe.” Mary Elizabeth Brown said in her Xmas greeting tc Gale and the rest that she has been nursing Harold Gardner back to health who had a mental collapse when she popped the question to him on their first date. She has been nursing him nigh on to five years and hopes to have him in good condition next year for their prolonged wedding. Carol Clore, sheriff of Fountain County, said she is getting along well in the business. She is well known throughout the county for her latest case when she arrested a man for striking a match. She says it is cruel. She has also arrested some for drinking water. It is needed worse in Siberia. She has claimed to have arrested people for breathing, saying “It should be saved to ship abroad.” In Carolyn Cord’s letter she said that she has joined the “Lonely Hearts Club.” She says: I didn’t have any trouble getting my man back in ’49.” But she didn’t add that she had all of her false teeth then. Kate Cord had been going with John Hughes until along came Kenny Rogers on his bicycle and swept her right off her feet. She said she’d rather be riding on the outside than on the inside of a car. It’s for her health. When Mrs. Grimes picked up one card she said something like this: “Well, look at this. A Christmas card from the famous R. W. French. Better known as Mr. America of 1959.” His good-looks, curly hair, (which he managed to get from Shular’s Beautv Shoppe for a wholesale price.) leg muscles, and those cute little freckles won him this high honor. Wow, I wonder who the judge was. Some woman that really knows her stuff, I’ll bet!

She says she’s now a song writer and lives in the nice peaceful country with her five children—DO, RE, ME, FA, and SO. Her latest song hit is: “If you hit me with a bat again, please use a soft-ball bat.” They got one card from Shantytown, Indiana, from Mrs. Clara Lou Milligan. She says she is going to hand in her resignation as a teacher and start a school of her own if the stork visits her house once more. Dale agrees that they should do this. They now have roll call every morning and night. The Grimes’ got one card they could hardly read. Mrs. Grimes picked it up and said, I wonder who this card is from? I can hardly read the writing on it.—Well, this explains everything. It’s from Mrs. Mach- ledt. She says she is now the Farm Shop teacher at Balhinch and yesterday she was teaching her class how not to handle a saw when, all of a sudden, she forgot she was teaching how not to handle one and she cut off her arm and now she had to write this left handed.” When Mrs. Grimes picked up the last greeting card here’s what she said, “Look, Gale, this card has a little book in it. It’s from Rose Louise Feck and the little book is on “Etiquette” and authorized by “Rosie” herself. Ha! Listen to this first rule. Never precede an older or heavier person when falling downstairs.” When Gale glanced back at the paper again he was very surprised to find the following articles and said: Here’s a very important flash notice from John Ward. Issuing a warning to all Hoosiers to be on the look-out for a short, stocky built couple traveling south in a covered wagon. It seems they had been on their vacation in the North, run out of money, and were trying to make their way back home by forging Christmas cards with fictitious stories enclosed and m ade the great mistake of signing their own names, Mr. and Mrs. Whitecotton, to one of them.” Annabelle, do you suppose these cards are from them?” —“ WHITESELL'S DAIRY PRODUCTS Pasteurized Vitamin-D Homogenized Milk PHONE 132 Rockville, Indiana j Compliments of ( McFarland and miller MONUMENT WORKS Erectors and Builders of Highest Quality Memorials Crawfordsville, Indiana !
