York's richest citizen, B. B. Bottomup. Phyllis' neighbor was Leonard Ross Jr., who is a New York millionaire. Again we mounted the cloud and Future told me we were going on a long journey across the states to California. Enroute the cloud decended very low above a beautiful ranchg this was the home of a former classmate, Dale Foster. From there we went to Hollywood, California. Here I found fans admiring the second Cornell Wilde- none other than Bob Bush. Bob told me that I would flnd Louise Haddock there in the studio. I found Louise to be a make-up artist for the Stars. In San Diego, at a little resort, I found my old classmate, Shirley Ingram. She had organized a club for red headed sailors and had 200 members at that time. Shirley had heard from Betty Wertz, and, Oh! how Betty wishes that she were with Shirley, instead of way down in Tennessee as a star on Nashville's Grand Ole Opre. I also found Marjorie Bell, a teacher of charm at Cali- fornia's Beauty School. Rooming at the same hotel was Dortha Pearson, a model for Holly- wood's glamor gowns. In a large ofllce in Holly- wood I found Elizabeth Williams, the perfect secretary, reserved, dignifled, and in love with her boss. Then Future guided me into a very classy night-club where I found Albert Donald- son as leader of a large swing orchestra. Now, said Future, you have only one more classmate to find 5 I shall leave you here to return by train. As I boarded the Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe, I glanced up and saw the smiling engineer to be Bill Kochel, the last one of my old classmates. The train whistle began to blow shrilly. This, as I awoke, I found to be my alarm clock, sum- moning me to the day's work. ROBIN CONLEY EL 55 When school opened on August 27, 1943, sixty-four freshmen entered Bingy High School, green and bewildered, yet excited over the rou- tine they were going to follow in their next four years in high school. On October 14, we held our first class meeting in the gymnasium with Mr. Swadley as our sponsor. The officers elected for this year were: Eurith Houck, President. Robert Bush, Vice-President. Laura Crowder, Secretary. Norman Million, Treasurer. We have taken an active part in musical activities, our class being the largest in the school. Ten of our members belong to the Glee Club, seven to the school band, four belong to the orchestra, twenty-six belong to the Glider's Club, and thirty-five belong to the Athletic Association. A class party was held on December 15, 1943. A large number of the class attended. Refresh- ments were served while dancing took the head of the list for the entertainment. As the doors opened to Williamsport High School, August 21, 1944, we are glad to see fifty- one familiar faces, less bewildered than the previous year. A class meeting was held on September 6, 1944, with Mr. Pribble as our sponsor. The fol- lowing officers were elected for this year: Juanita Hetrick, President. Paul Bailey, Vice-President. Laura Crowder, Secretary-Treasurer. HISTUHY We have two more years of school in which we hope that we may come through with a record of proud success and greater knowledge. School opened August 24, 1945, with forty- four Juniors. The first class meeting was on September 5, with Mr. Pribble as our sponsor. The officers elected were: Paul Bailey, President. Bob Bush, Vice-President. Bill Kochel, Secretary-Treasurer. Our activities consisted of the Junior and Senior Reception, which was held on May 1, 1946, at the Purdue Union Building. The annual class party was held in the gymnasium, January 28, 1946. Our main event was the play, Worrying Willie, which was a great success. The Juniors sold popcorn for the money needed the next year, also they sold pencils with the basketball sched- ule printed on them in purple and white. As the doors opened once more, and for the last time for our class, on August 30, 1946, we see forty familiar faces and very excited at knowing that they are now Seniors. Commencement was held on May 20, 1947, at 8:00 P. M. Our play, sponsored by the Senior class, Spooky Tavern, was a wonderful success. Officers elected for this year were: One of our main events was a farewell party Paul Bailey, President. held in honor of Charles Graham on September Laura Crowder, Vice-President. 27, 1944.
