With Mr. Shreve as our sponsor, we elected Arthur Savich, president; Barbara Terpstra, vice-president; James Osborn, secretary; Betty Bowen, treasurer; and Mary Grube and Robert Hershman, senators. Barbara Terpstra was our choice for carnival queen. Our sophomore year started with Mr. Manke as our sponsor. We selected James Osborn, president; Arthur Savich, vice-president; Mary Grube, secretary; Gisela Jacobsma, treasurer; and Ray Sculley and Madge Arnett, senators. At last we had the privilege of selecting our class sweaters. We decided on gray with green letters and trimming. Barbara Terpstra represented our class in the annual contest for carnival queen. The day finally came when we were considered upperclassmen -we were juniors. With Miss Stroup and Miss Lyons as our sponsors, we elected Arthur Savich, president; James Osborn, vice-president; Henry DeBruin, secretary; Gisela Jacobsma, treasurer; and Mary Grube and Richard Cavinder, senators. Immediately we started upon the task of making money. We opened a stand to sell pop and candy dur- ing noons and at ballgames, Doralee Boezeman, our candidate, won the honor of carnival queen We chose our class rings with the design of Lucky Star. We were delighted when our rings arrived on Jan- uary 3. Bolts and Nuts, our class play, was given on April 5 and 6. Our biggest expenditure was our junior -senior prom. We worked laboriously setting the sc ene for our theme, Stairway to the Stars. Our senior year began on September 2. 1955, with Miss Brown and Mr. Ehrick as our sponsors. We selected as officers: Lillian Fulaytar, president; Joyce Tillema. vice-president; Arlene Brown, secre- tary; Doralee Boezeman, treasurer; and Mary Grube and Richard Cavinder. senators. Madge Arnett received the honor of carnival queen. Baccalaureate was held on May 20, and commencement on May 22. With our years in high school ended, we can now look back with pleasant memories and look forward to the future with its new experiences and opportunities. 7?te K yrie6 Uk $ a y We, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-six, of the city of Wheatfield, county of Jasper, and state of Indiana, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY September 2, 1966 Dear Miss Brown, Here I am back at the hospital in Gary after a wonderful vacation. Before starting on my trip out West, I stopped in Medaryville. While I was in a restaurant there, I saw Mr. and Mrs. ARTHUR SAVICH. Art is a dentist now in Medaryville and raises corn as a hobby. Mrs. Savich is the former BARBARA TERPSTRA. WAYNE CALLOWAY came in while I was there and told me that he has enlarged his father ' s store into a shopping center. He seems to be doing quite well. I also met Mrs. Robert Trent, the former MADGE ARNETT, in Medaryville with her twin boys. She said that BETTY BOWEN is now Mrs. William Hol- brook, and they ' re living in Salt Lake City, Utah. Then I started on my trip out West. In Iowa, I saw TWYLA SCULLEY, who is a private secretary to FRED ROSSMANITH, a famous lawyer, in Maquoketa, Iowa. BERNARD SEEGERS is also in Iowa and operates a huge dairy farm. He said his brother, ALVIN, is a veterinarian in New York City. It seems as though they ' ve both done pretty well for themselves. My next stop was Reno, Nevada. There I saw DONALD RAICH singing at the Blue Flamingo. He brought his wife over to meet me. He told me that JIM OSBORN is a professional dancer at the club. I then went on to Colorado where I learned HENRY DeBRUIN owns a 20, 000-acre dude ranch. Of course, I couldn ' t leave without visiting him, and there I found Mr. and Mrs. James Brown, who were vacationing. Mrs. Brown, the former ARLENE BROWN, said that she is working for the Standard Oil Company of Dayton, Ohio. She also told me that NANCY STARZER is teaching a first-grade class in a new school in Hawaii. Nancy seems to enjoy her teaching and Hawaii. I also saw DIANA STANTON at the dude ranch. She is the main librarian of Rensselaer City Library. My final stop was San Francisco, California. I suppose you ' ve read in the newspapers that DICK CAVINDER is an Olympic star. He just broke the world pole-vaulting record by clearing 17 ft. 10 in. The crowd was so excited that LT. JOHN CALDWELL and his men had to quiet them. John has made the army his career. I took the plane back to Chicago and who do you think the pilot was- -no one but RAY SCULLEY, He said that he received a letter from LILLIAN FULAYTAR last week, and she ' s now on an expedition in the Sierras looking for the Lost City of Gold. She always was one to seek adventure. When I got back here to the hospital, there was a letter waiting from JOYCE TILLEMA. She ' s a missionary in North Africa. I guess there’s really a need for her there. Joyce wrote that DORA LEE BOEZEMAN has a beauty parlor in Chicago. She has taken over Charles of the Ritz. in the Drake Hotel. You ' ll never guess who I saw when I went on duty. WILBERT HAMSTRA was a patient as a result of going through the sound barrier. He ' s a speed boat driver now. I went on down the hall and saw MARIANNE BAYS, who is starting her nurse ' s training here. I saw Mrs. Bud Myers, the former ARLA DEERBERG, in the waiting room. One of her girls has appendi- citis. She has six more children at home. PEGGY DeMOSS came in to give a pint of blood. She is working in the sorew factory here in Gary. Peggy says PHYLLIS PIERSON is working as a nurses’ aide in the ValDaraiso hospital, and HELEN BORMANN is owner and operator of the DeMotte Skating Rink. Helen also gives skating lessons. I must close now, as I have to report for night duty. A former student, CLASS OFFICERS FRONT ROW: Arlene Brown, secretary.

SatAeticUl cmm ncti K Starting with a very young team, having lost most of last year’s players, the Devils opened the season by defeating Mt. Ayr, Tefft, Dyer, and Fair Oaks in succession. But then the competition got rough and the Devils lost three games and won three before the K. V. T, The Devils beat Kentland, Morgan, and DeMotte but were defeated by Remington, Edison, and Liberty Township. In the K. V. T. the Devils won their first two games but bowed again to Remington in the final game. After the K. V. T. the Devils lost to Goodland and came back by whipping Fair Oaks, Kouts, and Medaryville. The end of the season found them in a losing streak as they lost the last three games to Hebron, Brook, and San Pierre. The Devils won their first sectional tournament game in six years by defeating Brook, but they lost the semi-final game to Rensselaer by two points in an overtime. Altogether the Devils had a good season- -ending with a 13-9 record. The whole team wants to thank the cheerleaders, Beverly Savich and Janet Dobson, for their wonderful co-operation in getting the fans to root for the Devils.

STUDENT COUNCIL Two senators from each of the upper six grades were chosen to represent their class in the Student Council. Officers for this year were Dick Cavinder, President; David Cavinder, Vice-President; and Beverly Savich, Secretary-Treasurer, The Council tried to make some improvements in the school this year. They planned a method of staggering the fourth period classes in order to shorten the lunch line. They attempted to improve the way the students left the school house during a fire drill. At Thanksgiving, the Student Council sponsored a food drive for the needy families in the community. The canned food that was left over from this drive was distributed at Easter. They also sponsored a full- length movie which was shown to the entire school.

The large group of students who wished to work on the ECHO were assigned positions on the staff in Septem- ber. Everyone started working immediately to meet the first deadline. The subscription staff sold subscriptions; the reporters were assigned news stories and features by the special editors; and the editors carefully checked all copy turned in to them. Then the advanced typing class did a magnificent job of typing stencils, mimeograph- ing, and assembling the papers; and the circulation staff saw that each subscriber received his issue.
