Bob & Sal Seen at the Reunion for First Time!
Bob & Sal Seen at the Reunion for First Time!
Remember Bob Bahdune and Sally Fomdang?

Bob & Sal were "Spotlight Seniors" in the March 28 1956 issue of the Coney Crier.  We have not heard from Bob or Sal since  1956 until they showed up as a couple at our 50th Reunion on August 12, 2006. 

Below is a synopsis of what they have been doing since 1956 along with the write-up from the original Crier.

Bob realized his dream and became a flight attendent for Air Wisconsin. He said he was still  working for Air Wisconsin.  When Jim Boyer poiinted out that Air Wisconsin hasn't been flying for  the last fifteen years, Bob recalled  that it "had seemed like a long layover!"  He  said, "I had my paychecks automatically deposited so I'm not worried."

Sal also realized her dream and became a grave digger.  She was the role model for the undertaker sister on the HBO hit "Six Feet Under."  She gave up her hobby of making chicken-wire lampshades and took up gardening.  She thought that as long as she had to dig up dirt for the graves, she might as well capitalize on the tilled soil and become a gardener. She says, "the grave sites make wonderful vegtable garden plots."

Original March 28 Cooney Crier Spotlight Senior Article

"Lampshates Interest Sal;  But Bob Loves Toothpaste"

Bob Bahune-  If our Searchlight senior boy had a million dollars he'd blow up Scandianvia and drain the Bring Sea.  So you see, humanitarian and unusual are two good words for Bob Bahdune.

Proving furher that he's unusual, Bob states that he is very fond of firedrills, used mittens, and radiators.

His favorite meal is mustard. Horseradish-flavored ice cream comes in second.  Bob says that we all should make an effor to drinking a lot of water everyday, but he likes toothpaste better.

Bob's subjects this year include first year rock formation, Roller Skating III, floral arrangements and Home Ec VII.  His outside activities are comprised of button making, Laidary club, Sandskrit club, Sahara Desert Forest Fire Patrol, National igloo Makers, also he dabbles in amateur entomology.  He also likes to fish. 

Bob doesn't like books about dentists;  he likes toothpaste better.

His favorite record is "Pie Peachy Pie Pie" by Elvis Pesley and Ferlin Huskey. 

"Dunner's" most embarrassing moment was the time he swallowed his math instructor's meter stick, but he says that he still likes toothpaste better.

Bob's ideal mate must be a girl.  She must have the following characteristics:  hair...preferable on her head, eyes...one on each side of her face;  nose, and mouth with teeth if possible.  She must also be able to make watermelon pickles because they are his pet peeve. 

"Dunner" thinks roads are nice and there are a lot of squirrels in Oconomowoc.  But he llikes toothpaste better.

As far as future education goes...Bob is going to aattend the Nevada State School for Dental Hygiene.  He plans on being an airline stewardess.  He chose this school as he wants to be hear home.

Sal Fomding -  Vituperative and obnoxious are two words that sum up our Searchlight Senior girl this week, Sally Fomdang.

Sal is a typical girl with a typical hobby.  She makes chickenwire lampshades fo her friends. 

When she isn't busy with her hobby, Sally sometimes comes to school.  When she does she can be found studying Soad Carving VI, early-morning bird calls, Weaving II, and glass blowing.  Her school sponsored extra curricular activities include coon hunting, nut club, underwater pipe threading, glass blowers club, F.F.A., Brownies and band where she plays the harp.

"Fom", as her friends call her, is a busy girl, but she always has time for relaxation.  Music and reading take up her leisure time when she isn't making chickenwire lampshades.  Her favorite musical selection is Ratasponaskowitch's "Prelude for Fugue in D Flat Minoro Sharp" and the book thgat rates highest is "Ginny Gordon and the Disappearing Candlesticks."

As far as future education goes, Sally would like to go to the Pewaukee School of Mortuary Science and Grave-digging and take a four month course.

"Fom's" most embarrasing moment occurred when she fell off the radio tower at Government Hill while attedning a Brownie picnic there.

This summer Sally hopes to rend a motorcycle so that she can go south.  While she is there she'd like to dig irrigation ditches in the Everglades.

Her ideal mate should be approximately 4' 2" and weigh around 300 pounds and have a nice hobby like walking railroad ties.  He must also like chickenwire lampshades.

Sal enjoys doft cooked eggs stuffed with rutabaga paste and gooseberry gravy.

Last, but not least, she states that her pet peeve is chicken-wore lampshades.

Spotlight Seniors - - Is Roger still known as "Boogie?"  Did Carol ever get her house with three baths, her white Ford Convertible and her "unshaggy" dog?

Ask them at the Reunion!

Carol Scheiding:

When most of us think of Carol Scheiding, (our Spotlight Senior girl this issue) we think immediately of her artwork. She won 11 honorable mentions in the Schuster Art Contest, and her work was displayed in the Milwaukee Journal contest. Carol is known far and wide in the halls of Cooney for her artwork on he 1955 and 1956 Scholarship Show scenery.
  English IV, Shorthand II, office practice, and bookkeeping make up her schedule. She also plays the French horn in band and orchestra. Carol is vice-president of Pep club and she is a member of G.A.A. She is on the decoration committee for this year's Prom and is also helping with the Twirp Twirl planned for April 13. As for after-graduation plans, Carol has her eyes fixed on the Layton School of Art.
  She seems to be half duck for her favorite sports are water sports - water skiing and swimming. Anything in the line of food makes her happy with the exception of peas.
  If suddenly handed the staggering sum of one million dollars, Carol would take off immediately for California, buy a house with three bathrooms, a white Ford convertible with, of all things, pink seat covers, and an enormous "unshaggy" dog. What a gal!

Roger Heathcote

Rog, our Spotlight Senior boy for this issue, is taking English 12, Spanish 1, physics, and social problems. He is also kept busy with band, orchestra, football, basketball, bas e ball, and Spanish club, of which he is president. His favorite occupations are  sports and eating well-done steak, American fries, and lemon sherbet.
  His most embarrassing moment occurred in connection with his second hobby. It seems that he and a friend were in a restaurant eating with two dates when he suddenly discovered he was a bit short of funds. The embarrassing part came when his friend was discovered slipping him money under the table. Rog says, "It would have been worse if he had been short, too."
   Roger's taste in music varies with his occupation. He likes all kinds of jazz though popular to classical at one time or another. It all depends on what he's doing at the moment.
  "Boogie", as he is sometimes called, lists teachers who won't argue as his pet peeve. His ideal girl must be under 5' 7", feminine, have any old colored hair and eyes, like most sports and all parties, and have a deep inner dislike for St. John's Military Academy.
