York High School - Echoes Yearbook (Bellevue, OH)

Page 17 text:

A.. ,..,,. N, One day in the year l97h, as I was browsing in my library of a million or so books, I ran across my yearbook from l95h. Having nothing to do but sit around and count my millions, I welcomed a change of pace. I was curious as to what happened to the rest of my class so I hired a group of detectives to find out. They all left on the same day. I waited impatiently until the next day when I heard from the first. He had gone directly to the school and had found Mary Alice. It seems that Mary was the Super- intendent of York. I can remember when she used to go to the office to get an excuse for being absent, now she has to sign other stu- dents excuses. wonder if they can dream them up like she did? I doubt it. Then as each day went by I heard from one or two of my private eyes. The next I heard from was the one that went to New Iork. He found Dean Hall. After I read the report on Dean I remembered that I owned a couple of hats designed by Hall and realized that Dean was this fellow nall. His hats are worn by women all over the world. Bill Wise was also in New York. He was the author of the best seller of the year. He has written quite a few mysteries over the years, and they were all good. You might know when our willy starts out to do something he does it better than anyone else could or he just doesn't do it. Just ask him! I learned from a report that Beuw Tucker just left for Europe. Her husband was a famous concert artist, and very tempermental too, so they say. He included in the report two clippings from the New York Times. Carol writes a good column for the lovelorn. The other clipging concerned the divorce of Miss Orwig from her fourth hus- band. She should read her own column. The third report was from Clyde, Mary Jane Hansen and Marlene Moyer lived in Clyde. both are married and have children. The similarity stops t ere. My private eye informed me that from his observations Marlene seemed to be the quiet, sedate, motherly type. Mary Jane appeared to be on the go more than she was at home. She was quite a gad-about. It wasn't quite as I pictured it but I'll take his word for it. The fourth report was from Bellevue. Let's see, who's at Bol- levue? Art, Sue, Jacque, and Delbert. Art was the president of the bank. A good job for him. He always was one to get people to part with their money, and now look at all the money he is taking in. Sue is his secretary during the summer months and a school teacher the rest of the year. She is a commercial teacher. Can you imagine her as an old maid school teacher? I can see the tea- cher part but not the old maid part. Let's see who is next. Jacque Adair, occupation: truant officer. Jacque Adair is a truant off- icer? Now I know there must be some mistake. I'm going to have to hire a detective to investigate the first detective. Now back to my report, Deb is a state patrol officer. Oh yes, as I recall, in my high school days Delbert always was a firm believer in upnoldingall traffic and speed laws. I3

Cyan iafory In l95O, twenty-five little, green freshmen started their High School Careers. We elected a governing body to make us a li less uncivilized. william Wise was elected Presidentg Jan P ttle alm, Vice President, Betty Tucker, Secretary, Robert Peters, Treasurer. Shirley Frasure, June Schrader, Nancy Gildenmeister, and Teresa Camacho joined forces with us this year. The next year we were red sophomores. Putting on a bright cade to challenge ourselves to go ahead to a brighter future. fa- we elected William wise, President, Joyce Faulkner, Vice President, Jan Palm, Secretary, Marlene Moyer, Treasurer. This year we were sorry to see June Schrader leave for Clyde a career of marriage. and Sandra Diebert came to School, Shirley Frasure leave for Faye Richards, Robert Bush, their places in our golden career. Then we became blue juniors for we only had two years lef cram in our mischief. This year take t to we elected Dean Hall, Presidentg Jan Palm, Vice Presidentg Nancy Gildenmeister, Secretary, Elizabeth Smith, Treasurer. we went from rags to riches when we went into business for our- selves, selling candy for classes and games. with our millions, the entire class helped make up our junior play, nThe Angel from Red Canyonn, and also the prom, held at Log Cabin, Sandusky, Ohio, of which the theme was chinese. the Also a bio event of the year was the receiving of our class rings. Faye Richards and Nancy Gildenmeister left school for a career of marriageg Samuel Roberts left for a railroading career. For the final climax of the year we held a surprise farewell party for Mr. E. A. Miller, our sponsor for that year, who was leav- ing the school for another job. Now we are yellow seniors, yellowed with age, wisdom, and happiness at leaving our nHal1's of Ivy.n This year we elected aged tenor, Robert Peters as Presidentg william wise as Vice Pr dent, Joyce Faulkner as Secretary, Peggy McKee as Treasurer. This year we were busy having our pictures taken, planning trip, publishing our annual, picking out our play, measuring caps and gowns, and trying to decide on our careers. Now we have to leave our nHall's of Ivyn to become green at careers, then to put on a bright facade and become blue for all things that we cant do in our lifetime.

C6165 rap ec, can if The next report was from Indianapolis. This report surprised me. Terry and Pat both live there. That isn't so surprising as the fact that Teresa Camacho built her own race car and drove it in the SOO mile race and set a new speed record. I was ready to doubt the sanity of this guy when I read the part about Pat Mowry. She is now a kindergarden teacher. Now I put it up to you, can you see Pat teaching a class of small children under five years of age? I couldn't either, so you can see why I sent a psychiatrist to see this guy. well, my report from Hollywood came today. Let's see, Bob Bush and Peggy McKee now live in the wonder city called Hollywood. Bob is living under an alias. He is the great lover of the day. He is the most popular movie star since Rudoulph Valintino. Well, get a load of this, he said that when he finally tracked Peggy down she was arguing with a talent scout trying to get him to choose her two child prodigies as movie stars. HA, HA, couldn't you see Peggy trying to get her kids into the movies? HO, HO, this is priceless. Joyce Faulkner herself was one of the detectives that Ihired. I was really surprised when I received a report from her in Chica- go. Jan Palm was in Chicago playing a trumpet in a jazz band. She used an alias so no one knew who she was. Joyce told me that she first tried law but there wasn't enough excitement so she be- came a detective. She is a good one too. Here is my report from Miami and will you look at who is there. Bob, Sandy, and Marilyn. I see that Marilyn Andrews is the Dean of Miami University. She always was a studious person. well, here is another spinster from our class. Miss Sandy Diebert herself. She is the head cook for the naval bases at Miami. Odd with all those sailors around that she's still single. Oh well, she always did like a crowd lof menl around her. Took this detec- tive quite a while to find Bob Peters. He had to search through the Keys till he finally saw the sign BOB'S BEES FASTEST IN THE NORLD. Seems Bob is raising supersonic bees and doesn't want them to get mixed up with the ordinary bees. Here is my final report and it's from Boston. Say, this is a surprise, Betty Smith and Don Hartley in Boston. Bet it will never be the same again. Betty is now a lady senator from Massachusetts. I have and idea that when she gets going, they really sit upand listen in Congress. Boy, that Don Hartley really has himself set. He is the conductor of an all female symphony orchestra. Bet they make beautiful music together. It takes some smooth talking to keep those girls happy. With all the practice he had back at York he should be an expert. The butler has just informed me it is time to leave for my weekly night at the Club for dinner, so I must close my yearbook and be on my way. It certainly has been interesting and surpris- ing to check on my old classmates. THIS PAGE IS SPONSORED BY SEIP HARDWARE Hardware - Tinning Plumbing - Heating Phone 2-30514 Bellevue, Ohio
