Claaa 'Pnophecq Icontl learned that they were all very happy in their work. It seems that Shafer went on a safari to Africa after graduation and became interested in animals. Because of Marilyn 's dangerous act she is thinking about retiring to a tobacco farm in Kentucky. As John is owner of the circus, he is becoming rich off of his two big acts, as yet he is unmarried. He would make a nice catch I ! Upon arriving in Chicago we met the famous young lawyer, Howard Cotterill . His law practice is growing rapidlytand he expects to move on to Washington soon. Driving on the Indiana Turnpike we noticed signs advertising Orwig's FlZZlE WIZZIE SODA POP, 58 Flavors. Thinking back we remembered David Orwig as one of the names in Gwin's 58 Echoes. We decided to visit the bottling factory. Smith and I were met at the door by a very efficient secretary. We asked for Mr. Orwig. After talk- ing to him awhile, we discovered his secretary to be the former Margie Benfer, also a member of the class of 58. After saying good-bye we hurried on towards Ohio. Upon entering the city of Toledo, we came upon a baby sitting agency operated by Ed Finley. Going into the office we saw a tall blonde headed man sound asleep. Telling him our business and saying a little about his we learned that he had iust opened his business three months before. Driving on, we came to a small town, upon further investigation we found that the mayor was Charles Adair. Talking with Mayor Adair we learned that although politics sometimes interrupted his private life he still has time for his coin collection. Walking down the tree lined street we came upon a small pet shop with the sign KATHY'S DOG HOUSE. We entered the shop for a closer look and discovered the owner to be Kay Beasley, She has been raising and selling animals for many years. Next we headed south towards Bowling Green to speak to the English Professor at the Univer- sity, the former Marie Wise. We learned that she is now married and the mother of five very healthy basketball players. About three miles east of Clyde we came to the large well kept farm, of August Keegan. Remembering that he was also a 1958 graduate, we went up the long drive and found him sitting on his porch. While talking, we learned that not only was his farm prosperous, they had just discovered uranium. We left and went on to visit our destination, York School. We arrived at the huge new school about ll:OO A.M. and went directly to the office to find Mr. Miller who was frantically trying to calm a young looking matron. Being successful in his almost impossible task, I overheard him call her June and being unable to hold back any longer I asked if she could possible be the former June Norman. Telling her our job and finding that she had married soon after graduating and she now had a very large and happy fam- ily. Climbing to the second floor and heading down the long corridor we came to the Commercial Department to meet the last of our missing persons, Pot Siehl who is married to the Industrial Arts teacher. Pat has been teaching shorthand for the past five years. It is now May 27, ten years to the day since the graduation of the class of l958. It has been a pleasure to meet these very successful people This page is sponsored by - A. LEIBER 8. SONS, INCORPORATED Buick and Pontiac Sales and Service Bellevue, Ohio

Claaa Hiatonq On a September morning in 1953, twenty-two eager Freshmen crowded into the homeroom of Mr. Gwin. Although the subject of sneers and scorns of everyone, we thought we were pretty big to be in High School. Realizing the need of organization, we elected the following class officers: President, Marilyn Bowersoxp Vice President, Richard Warnerp Secretary, Judy Kokaip Treasurer, Dave Orwig. Our student coun- cil representative was Howard Cotterill . We captivated the saying, The ropes of today ring the bells of tomorrow as our motto. Maroon and white were chosen as class colors accompanied by our favorite flower, the white carnation. The Seniors still laughed at us small Sophs strutting through the halls. We strutted more than ever! Taking leadership was Dick Warner with gavel in hand. Following close on his heels was Jim Shaver. Carolyn Sue Jackson was always ready with pencil in hand. What little money we had accumulated by now was in the hands of Leo Missler. When the Student Council met, we could be sure Mary Jo Manbeck would be present to defend us. By our Junior year, we were a little more grown up-so we thought. In November I Mrs. Tetirick's patience was tested as we presented our.play, Come Out of the Closet. We were proud of the results of this and the other highlight of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. We worked very hard to transform the gymnasium into a Spanish Garden. Not every dance has live burros as special guests! During this time, the board of experts carrying us through was headed by Richard Warner. Ready to take over in an emergency was Bob Weller. The pencil-pushing iob was given to Marilyn Bowersox. More money came in because of our candy sales, so we needed another person to hold the money bag. Leo Missler was assisted by Margie Benfer. The Stu- dent Council members were Judy Kokai and Dave Orwig. This year, 1958, we find ourselves twenty faithful ones ready to complete the year. We are Seniors. The slate of officers has again changed. The man-in-charge is Howard Cotterill, President. Acting as second in command is Dave Orwig. Writing the minutes is the duty of Mary Jo Manbeck. Guarding the dough is John Hunt. Our many requests are being conveyed to the Student Council by Marie Wise and Marilyn Bowersox. Before we march in our caps and gowns, we will experience an occasion to be told more than once to our grandchildren. The play, prom, and senior trip will be just a few of our activities which will come before May 27-our graduation night. We will be fortunate to say we are graduates of York School.
