The plane released, all bonds re- moved, It thundered down the strip. It quickly rose into the air, Upon its very first trip. The little plane circled the strip, Then dove into the lane. I dug out the twisted wreckage of' My little model plane. Gerald Stadig '53 Lue's First Try at the Wheel Luo took the car angl went for a drive one day. She hadn't asked her fatlxcr for the c:1r because she knew lic wo1ildn't let her take it. Wlzcn Lue drove into the driveway ter father was somewhat relieved :nfl was so glad that he had his car back in one piece that he didn't even say a word to her about taking the car without asking. Instead he said, How did you make it? Have any trouble? No, not too much I guess. I only went through live red lights and got a bill for you to pay at the Police Station. Oh, no! he ex- claimed, tell me about it. Well, it was like this. I was driv- ing along and saw the light turn red and pushed on the pedal but there was no brake! No 'brake? he said, there al- ways was a brake. Are you sure? Oh, yes , Lue said. I pushed the pedal on the left way to the iioorf' Oh, you dope! That was the clutch. Oh, never mind. Then what happen- ed? Well, a fellow on a bicycle with a motor on it came alongside the car and said, Pull over lady and I said, What's the matter, Mack. Ain't you got room to pass? And what do you knowg the next thing I knew he took me to the court house and a fellow with a book came up to me and said, Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and noth- ing but the truth, so help you God ? and I said, Don't get noisy, bud. Tlien there was quite a commotion, and to add to it all someone started to pound a nail into a wooden desk with a hammer. Oh, you nut-head! her father screamed, that was the judijef, I know , she said, I found that out, too, when I asked him how he felt and he said Fine, S'p50.00. Gordon Lombard '54 IF! IF we had quiet study halls, the Prin- c'pal would celebrate. Wed know that Zane Cray's clock is working, IF he wasn't always late. IF Donald Davis would reform, Sing Sing would lose a candidate. In fact IF he won't quiet down, he's apt to need an upper plate. IF Sunshine hadn't all the charm, the other girls would like her better. Florence would phone trans-Atlantic, IF each day didn't bring a letter. IF Arthur should turn British while he's stationed 'crost the briny, And IIF he and Florence marry, they could raise some little limeys. Iris would be broken-hearted IF she should ever lose her horse. IF the horse is slightly swaybacked, we can understand, of course! IF Gordon, Vic and Gerald would give up their vocalizing, Our tempers would improve and we'd feel more like socializing. IF Letha Cray should stop her clown- ing we'd miss our female Grou- cho Marx. The Cobb's car would be all in one piece, IF there weren't trees where Charles Cobb parks.

Taking your Sin, all, with Him there If you reject Him, what a loss! You get, instead, Hell for your share. If you accept His death for you, Believe He'll save you from all Sin Ask Him to give you life anew. Then to your heart He'll enter in. This Love has raised a Soul's despair Guided a life to brighter planes, Restored a spirit worn with care, And over all now gently reigns. Iris Downs '53 Senior Members We know that Lue is getting fat And wants to go to collegeg Maybe her head is getting swelled From holding all that knowledge. Each morning Dana milks the cows Till all the pails are full. It will make him a good living, if He doesn't lose his pull. Gerry is a glamour boy And he can croon like Bing. We hope that some 'bright day He will learn to sing. Iris is a sweater girl. She's going to P. B. I. When Salvation came her way She didn't pass it by. Victor has got curly hair. He doesn't need a Toni. He says his curls are natural But we 'think they are phony. Dellie is the shy one Or he was until this yea1'. We're wondering what Freshman girl Brought hi-m so much fear. The other member of the class Is, of course, the best. I think I'm pretty wonderful But some think I'm a pestg Rodney Curtis '52 Basketball In Jackman There goes Gordon down the Hoorg Will he make the score two more? He shot and hit the pipes o'erhead. Jackman out , the referee said. Now it is Jackman ahead 'by three. The referee calls, Foul on 23! Earl stands -there with a forlorn look, When Vic gets the ball and in with a hook. They pass the ball to Cecil, He stands there with a grin. He drilbbles to Jackman's basket And there he puts it in. The boys try to stop him As he driblbles down the floor. But Cecil does not hear them Above the hilarious roar. Gerry is a great surprise To himself tonight. With his hook shot working fine He will do all right. Dellie gets his shots away, Even past a guard. So we'll win the ball game By playing pretty hard. Patricia Gourley '54 Crash Dive , The little plane stood on the snow, All painted orange and black. No one knew when it left the field, It never would come back. The pilot took controls in hand, The helper spun -the prop. The little motor roared to life, Exhaust 'burst from the top.

WHAT WE HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THE HOME EC. COURSE In our three years of Home Eco- nomics, We have learned many things that are useful to us now and will be in the future. In the beginning of the Freshman year, we studied Personal Appear- ance and Grooming , in which we learned about 'becoming colors, pos- ture, types of clothes for different figures, hair-dos, care of clothes and care of hands. Another subject was Nutrition iifr Health. We studied the im- portance of good foods in our daily diet. We made charts on the basic seven and food nutrients and also took up calorie requirements- Our Personal and Social Living unit taught us how to get along well with ourselves and others. In Budgeting, we studied how to get our money's worth, the influence of advertising, and informative la- bels. Our Sophomore year brought us cooking, home nursing, clothing and child care. In cooking we canned, planned and cooked meals. 'Our Foods also in- cluded table etiquette and table ser- vice. In home nursing we discussed Causes and Symptoms of Illness, Ill- ness and How to Meet it. The Pa- tient in Bed, Food and Nutrition, Nursing Care in Special Conditions, Home Emergencies, Personal and Family Health, Community Health, and Home Nursing Procedures. In child care, We devoted our dis- cussions to baby sitting. Our last project of the year was Clothing, in which we studied parts and uses of a sewing machine, tex- tiles, patterns, and sewing by hand. For clothing projects We made a dress, a house-coat, skirts, blouses, baby clothes, and pajamas. The work in the Junior year has been more advanced. It has included Clothing, Home Improvement, Home Management and Personal Problems. We learned to recognize many fab- rics, and visited the cotton mill in Waterville, the woolen mill in Guil- ford, and the local yarn mill,
