C9lass l-{istory June, 1966 Dear Diary, I can hardly believe it - I'm fina lly a senior. It seems like I just came toW. P. S.D. When I came in 1952, Danny Campbell, Fred Hicks a n d Carla Vogstberger were a lready h ere. H arr y Lewis, Donna Sprague, E llen Liedtke, Linda Brown, Bob Cowan, Chuck Lewis, Bob Harding and I all came at the same time. In 1953, five more students joined us . There was something specia l about th em - two of them looked t he same. They were S usan and Susanne B itt ner, a n d the others were Ann Karcher, Bill Shuey a nd Arlie Whitling. Then Walla Franer, Donald Trenn, Geraldine Soakie a nd T eresa J ezewski came in 1954. In the year s that followed f r om 1955 t o 1964, the rest of the class came on e at a time from either p ublic sch ool or DePaul Institute. They are Carol F a lk, Carolyn Hanlin, George Klassen, H enry Piotrowski, Donald Kutruff, James Maher, Max Humphryes, Martha Wad dell and Dorothy Fallon.

I can still remember a ll the happy t imes we h a d playing on the swings and how our clot hes would a lways get torn if we played too r ough . I still can almost t aste t h e soap in my mouth which the supervisor s would put th ere if we had bitten anyone. And th en there was the time that a mouse was running around in the dormitory a nd we had to look for it because our s upervisor s were afraid. B ut now, a ll t hese times are gone a nd ~e are looking f orward to other s.

Our senior year h as been a n exciting one. Some of our socia l activit ies wer e a Hornet hock ey game, a roller skating party, a ride on the Gateway Clipper and a day at Kennywood Park. We will a lways remember all the friends we have made and w ill never forget our "school days" at W. P. S . D.

r9lctss 10-rophecy I made my way through a crowd of people. I was amazed to see Walla Franer and Bob Harding at t he oth er end of the crowd. They were married and had three young children. Also I learned Susan Bittner and Harry Lewis were married and lived next door to the Hardings. They both were working as teachers at W. P. S. D. After talking for a while longer we said good bye and started in different ways in cars. I must have gone a mile or so when I came to a sewing factory. I went in for a drink of water and met Linda Brown, a nd she talked with me for a while. At lunch time Linda and I went to t he cafeteria, and we met T eresa J ezewski wh o is the secretary f or the President of U. S. Steel. They told me that they were married to George Klassen and Donovan Kutr uff but had begged to keep their jobs a little longer until they were well out of debts. Since it was so late, Linda Brown invited me to stay with them overnight. I drove to Rome where I met Donald Trenn, Charles Lewis and Max Humphryes working in the same city. Donald Trenn worked at Movie Co., Charles Lewis owns a company for pro wrestlers and Max Humphryes works at a beauty shop. They told me t h ey h ad not been married yet, but they had given engagement rings to Carla Vogtsberger, Ann Suter and E llen Liedtke. Donald Trenn built a new h ouse for hi s future bride, Carla. After it was built, they started the other two f or Max and Charles. They were happy on setting the dates for the wedding next year. The next morning after eating a good breakfast, I set out once again only to stop twenty miles from where I set out to find that Bob Cowan was trying to keep his children out of the street where there were a few cars moving. He had retired as a carpenter. He greeted me like a long lost friend and asl<ed me many questions about members of our class of 1966. From me he learned th at many of them, like himself, were married and had children, too. He said his wife was Doroth y Fallon who worked for t h e F. B. I. as a spy. A few blocks away from th em, there was a modern house t hat I learned was the home of Fred and Donna (Sprague ) H icks. I asked Bob for their address, a n d there I learned there were four children in t h e family. Donna said they were getting r eady to go South to be at Carol Falk's and Bill Shuey's wedding which would be in another week. Carol Falk is working as a model, and Bill Shuey owns a company which fixes watches. I asked Donna if it would be O.K. for me to follow them and they were glad for me to go t h ere. While they were driving, th ey pulled up in front of a restaurant. We went inside where we learned that Arlie Whitling, Henry Piotrowski, Gerry Soakie and Susanne Bittner were workin g in this small town even though they each were married and had their own famili es. H enry Piotrowski said he h ad a son while Arlie had twins- a son and a daughter. Gerry had a cute little girl a nd Susanne had two girls a n d a boy. Gerry's husband James Maher who is an advisor at W. P . S.D., and h e had worked there for 10 years. Gerry said they lived in a shanty house about a mile from wh ere we were. Danny Campbell, who is a Pirate p layer, was now living in Canada. He lost all of his weight by playing baseball. He was a bachelor and was very wealthy. Carolyn Hanlin was married and went around with a Bible, too. Now I come back to the world where I meet my old class members of 1966.
