W'c often wonder if Ernie did I lie posing for “Sleepy” in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” We only hope you don’t fall asleep some night driving out through the pastures on your way home to Westminster. It’s pretty dark so late at night. Ernie makes frequent trips to neighboring towns. He's trying to convince us it’s just for the ride. Quit kidding us! The Moore-Stack- Currier combination is one to watch out for. They spell dynamite. Ernie is another fellow gifted with brains, looks and personality.

Here is the little guv who has the brains and ideas of a genius. In sociology Mose has given Mr. MacCarthy some baffling moments. No matter what the subject is, Mose seems to be an expert in it. Besides being a quiz kid, he has made many a class merry with his funny remarks. A class wouldn’t go by without some amusing incident in which Mose has the leading part. He is quite an industrious lad, holding down a job after school. Good luck! JEAN NAUCEDER General Jcanie Anything for a quiet life (ilee Club 2; “The Gypsy Rover” 2. With her pleasing personality and good nature, Jean has no trouble with the date situtation. “Variety is the spice of life, says she.
