This is the information he divulged. A joint performance of the celebrated pianist joy Erickson, the Madonna of the Mod- ern Opera, Lee Morse, and Mitchell Melchior U'Meara will be held at Carnegie Hall in the near future. The coveted honor of the year was bestowed on Yvonne Friedrich when she was unani- mously elected cover girl of the Police Gazette. Truant Officer jim Oddson announced that school attendance has greatly improved in com- parison iwith that of 1048. Darrel Nelson has returned to the U. S. victorious after obtaining the Olympic bob- sled championship at Geneva. Statistics reveal that the champ suffered only two broken ribs this time. The Champion F ibber of the International Propaganda Agency of Flatbush was found to be a Bonners Ferry lad, by the name of Don Lindsay. . - To DeLores Knoles goes the credit of set- ting a new high for Rip Van VVinkle's record of sleeping twenty years. fMiss Knoles got five minutes more of shut-eyej. The romance of the year - the country's most eligible bachelor, VVarren Peterson, was finally snagged by our first woman president, Arden johnson. Xkfedding plans have been made for early summer. They will march down the aisle to the music of the back room pianist, Phyl Neumayer, accompanied by Marvin John- son and his all-girl orchestra. Singing the touching song VVho's Sorry Now will be that bird in the gilded cage, Canary Ramona Holmes. XV'ith that last bit of choice news the Rich- field Reporter signed off and we were jolted by this commercial: To ladies weighing 400 pounds and over. Are you fat??? Put a stop to your self-consciousness. Visit the Why Be Fat Clinic efficiently managed under the direc- tion of Eileen Purdy. Following that advisable commercial came Clinton Keller, who substituted for Dorothy Dix in solving matters of the heart. There was one very interesting problem. It was about a girl named Mary Kucherry who was a social worker in Harlem, N. Y. She was going with a man whom she loved very much. Should she tell him she has false teeth? , You know, it's a funny thing but sometimes in a dream you start to go somewhere and never get there. Fortunately, I never got to the dent- ist's office. Instead I went to have my hair shampooed at Pierre's Beauty Salon for men, owned by Bonnie jean Douglas. While Dellos Louden was manicuring my nails it dawned on me that I should have my house and grounds remod- eled. I looked in the telephone directory and found the names I was looking for: Lester Lock - interior decorator, specialist in dog houses, Jeanette Loitved - sculptor, Best Work In Marbleheadsg Bob Love-carpenter, Commander Uvhammer ' Andnalesg Donna Martin - gardener extraordinaire 3 and a ,mas- ter of connections, Nial Worsham, plumber. My furniture needed replacing, too, so I of'- dered some new pieces and the store manager said that they would be sent out immediately via Harold McGraw and the Motor Freight. just as I put down the receiver I heard a shrill whistle. A fire! Soon a big red truck whipped by with fire chief jim Funkhouser spurring it on to the scene of the disaster. Fol- lowing him were Elbert Fulgham and Roger Guthrie, jockeys of the 20 mule team, waxing their water pistols while they too rushed to the bonfire. The water which they squirted on the street was very helpful to the onlooking street cleaner, Bob Hibbert. It saved his cleaning a whole block! E Also taking advantage of the water was bathing beauty Dorothy Ilammell who could be seen sitting on the curb thoughtfully dangl- ing her toes in a puddle of water. Now I don't want you to think I'm a sound sleeper, 'cause I am. VVell, on with the dream. After the fire episode I happened into the recreation center. I had the soda jerk, Mildred Halsted, whip me up a chocolate malted and while I was waiting I went over to watch the people bowl. A calamity occurred while I was there. The pin setter, Evelyn Huff, got knocked on the head because she was looking through the wrong part of l'IC1' bifocals when the ball came down the alley. QContinued on Page Gly 59

BONNERS FERRY HIGH Scnoor. Senior Class Prophecy ffontinued from Page 59D llraining the last drop of malted milk from the glass a feeling of action came over me. I went over to talk the custodian of pool cues, lsobel llyland, into letting me have a free game of pool because I had spent my last quar- ter filling the cavity in my stomach. She refused to grant me permission. My life had ended. I was going to see the friendly undertaker, Bill llenderson. He'd know what to do with me. When 1 got to the morgue, I saw the meat market butchers, Shirley Martin and janet Sundeen. who usually ushers at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. XVhat they were doing there l'll never know. I picked up a ladies magazine and began read- ing it while waiting to be measured. I dis- covered that its editor was Howard VVorley. llis editorial gave credit to those who devoted their lives to dumb animals. Among the names, l saw those of Pete Stafford, chief dogcatcher of the metropolis of Moyie Springs. and Dr. Roy Virak, most renowned horse doctor in La Crosse. The most enjoyable page of this magazine was one entitled Odd Occupations. These were among those mentioned: Arnold Fesslei' --explorer in depths of Alaska 5 Joyce Fulgham -teacher of the art of building block houses to the first gradeg Joanna Hartman - steward- css on a piper cubg May Kucherry-clock watcherg jean Lamberson-auctioneerg Robert l.eslie-pilot of the tBonnersj Ferry Com- mand, Sally Servoss-matron at girls' indus- trial schoolg Bob Spalding-section foremang Richard Strand-baby photographerg Peggy Sutherland-gas station attendant in Moscowg and Roy Tritt-river boat captain. Flipping through more pages I saw an article about people in the entertainment world. It featured Verden Hockett. the Arthur Murray of Northern Idaho. Phyllis Stolp. figure skater, and Betty XVallen, dancer at Billy Rose's Dia- mond llorseshoe. - ' The magazine also recorded a person to per- son interview between hosiery salesman Bob Nixon and Margaret Tuthill. stenographer at Griffith's Real Estate firm in C. D. A. OOOOOQOOOOQOQQQQQOQQ You know, after I picked that magazine u , I just couldn't put it down again. Especially when the article about Chicago's newest under- world rage, Lawless Larry Ewing, caught my eye. It seems he fired a well aimed spit wad at Donald Dunning, a mechanic for laundry trucks in the Northwest, while he was working on a truck. VVell, that's it! just think, reading all that in a dream. It must have been a dream. Everyone knows I can't read. . Senior Class History tContinued from Page 261 ' mous vote finally settled the problem. The flower is the White Lilacg the colors, Blue and Silver, and the motto, First the dream, then the deed. The annual class play was the next in order of business. The English IV class, under the supervision of Miss Loretta Lynch, was given complete charge. After review and reports on twenty-five plays a three act comedy Every Family Has One by George Batson, was chosen. There was a lot of hard work and also a great deal of fun involved, but due to the usual cooperative spirit of the seniors the play was a marked success. A meeting was held in the middle of April to pick out a place for the Senior Sneak. Var- ious ideas were brought up, and the place was finally chosen and the date was set. Then came the two big events of the year, Graduation and Baccalaureate. On the evening of May 16, solemn and dignified seniors marched down the aisles for the Baccalaureate service. Commencement was held May 20. ooooooo QQQOOQQ
