The juvenille delinquency has decreased greatly since Dean Noffsinger became truant officer; it seems he is quite experienced in this line of work, not saying which side of the line. Coming home for the summer vacation is Dorothy Diggins, Girls Physical Educa- tion teacher. Albert Bloom has just been made head manager of the J. C. Penney Co. at Brush, Colorado. The New York Symphony will have as its guest soloist this weekend, Miss Marjorie Dahms. David Evans has discovered a new brand of cigarettes, the “Evanstons”. You had better give them a try. The new minister at the Brush Methodist Church is the Rev. Fred Burnett. Have you noticed? Vale Blessing, Jr. is driving a new 1960 Cadillac. Making his fortune from duck hunters hunting out of season, is Don Marietta. Have you noticed the heatwave sweeping the nation? This hot air is due to the recent success of that saxophone player, Bruce McLagan. Having revised all school Spanish books to his satisfaction, Edward Padilla is thinking of retiring. Juanita Peterson has just told us that she has become a professional jockey and that she owes her success to horseback riding. Ronnie Rieb, president of the Basketball Coaches Association, is here for a rest. Following the announcement of “Mr. America of I960” it was announced that Phyllis Hansen of Brush. Colorado, will become the new “Mrs. America”. The new member of the Tennessee Mountain Boys is Bart Gill, with enough money to own his own still. Jackie Hartwig, the Valentino of the piano, has a good deal to say about the “Strife” Magazine. Peter Hildebrand, editor of the “Western Horseman” and other famous magazines, and Jerry Johnson, well known rancher, are still hunting Indians during their spare time.

May they uphold it forever with all seriousness and gravity; endeavoring to realize the vast importance, in spite of their natural light-mindedness. To the Sophomores, we leave any stub pencils, erasers, notes, or scraps of paper that we may chance to leave behind us in the excitement of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. To the Freshman Class, any spare bits of powder puffs, broken vanity cases, pieces of mirrors, toothless combs, cakes of powder or powder in any form that may be found wandering aimlessly around the building unclaimed. We feel that this will be appreciated as they will soon be old enough to use such articles. These things are for boys and girls alike. To the Freshman Class of next year, we leave our school colors, with the sincere wish that they will be as loyal to the “Maroon and Gold” as we have been. To the public at large we bestow our appreciation of the benefits and blessings that this, our beautiful and prosperous community, affords; with its pleasant scenery, beautiful sunsets, mountains—ad infinitum—and hope that every one will appreciate and cherish these natural blessings which we have so much enjoyed. In witness hereof, we, the Class of 1950, the testators, have to this will, set our hand and seal, this 1st day of June, A.D., one thousand nine hundred and fifty.
