'I'wo of these went to school at Deep Creek hefore enlisting, while George was il transfer student from Tazewell High School. VVe are glad they have returned to school to graduate. We would also like to pay trihute to all the hoys who have passed through our portals to serve their country. The world will little note, nor long reineniher, what we say here, hut it can never forget what they did. x,i. l,if1mfH. A Glimpse of The Senior Class This herebysinessn concerns the strange and revealing happenings which took place shortly after Yay Knudson and Bah Aera quaffed two of the most potent Spencer Special Sundies during a brief bull session one fine evening in the dear old Deep Creek Coffee Shop. Boy and jay, experiencing the usual after effects of a Spencer Special, fell into an immediate faint and began to dream- THE DREAM After sailing over the salty, and to some, aging seas of time, we are welcomed aboard the S. S. Hornet by none other than Electricians mate 3rd Class Otto W. Pehworlh, who immediately shows us to the brig where he has been conducting his television experiments, seeing as he is there most of the time anyway. Wells plans to give us a glimpse of the world in this year of 1957. While the television set is warming up we take leave to introduce the visiting officials, Rear-Admiral Teddy Walker, who served with Kilroy in the K. P. campaign of World War ll. The ship's surgeon, Commander Phillip McCoy, and his pretty Wave assistant, Ensign Ruth Overhy, are on hand also just in case 3rd Mate Wells turns the wrong screw. Third Mate Pebworth now has the range and a new era in television is begun as we gaze upon a blurred purple and white image which, upon clearing, reveals the 'student body of dear old Deep Creek High, assembled in the auditorium to start the new year of '57 off right with an address by the new coach and Government teacher, Mr. George Widener. As Mr. Widener steams up the screen with his high Hown oratory the scene changes to Langley Field, where we find that noted husband and wife team of Avaitrix Mabel fManosJ Carey and her me- chanic husband ffack, who are preparing for a real honeymoon, they plan to land on the moon in seven days. As the exhaust gasses from the honeymoon clear we see those two outstanding missionaries, Brother Eugene Phillips and Sister Odessa Lewis of the Homefolks' Missionary Society, who are discussing the possibility of sending an expedition to Gilmerton, Va., where a character by the name of Chick fone: has organized the Reet-Vout School of Dancing til, with the help of that hep dancing instructor, Carrington jitterbug Hensley. The screen again clouds, and we find another view coming into focus, it's the main floor of the Hot Shot Dance Club where we see ffim Half Hitch Carey and his trombone, taking a short break from his Navy Band, consisting of clarinetist Harold Dixon and company, to flirt with bubble dancers ffeanelle Turner and Levilhan Award. As this scene becomes to hot to handle still another comes into view. It's Washington, D. C., where Senator l Object Preedy is now lilibustering for better parlimentary procedure in the Senate. Mr. Preedy is replacing the aging Senator Claghorn, who was recalled for leaving too many half-chewed ham hocks laying around the capitol grounds. A As Washington, D. C., fades off of the screen, we find a peaceful little scene coming into focus. lt's the little grey church around the corner, where Miss Sarah Dees and boy friend are going through the process of being hitched after a nice long engagement during which Sarah finished high school, college and several correspondence courses. As Sarah and her boy friend fade out in a cloud of rice and confetti, the scene changes to the little gymnasium halfway up in the next block, where we find muscle builder Eugene Williams and assistant muscle builder Mary Queenie Sykes, who are giving the new student of muscular culture, Frank Dragon, a special lesson in how to make the saying, ''the-bigger-they-are-the-harder-they-fall, come true. With a Hash the scene shifts to a tense, dramatic courtroom. where the brilliant QD lawyer, William Cuthriell, has just put aside his needle and thread after sewing up a tight case against the well known artist, Pete ffohnson. Pete says that it was all a mistake that he put Lincoln's picture on the wrong bill. Hummmmmm. Well, well, must be rush hour in the Bon Ton for those three super sales girls, Evelyn Parsons, Helen Biernot, and Margie Podruchny are ignoring the customers, in the best salesgirl tradition, and are discussing their new dream boy, ffimmie fohnson, who, after finally gaining additional stature, is the rage in professional football circles. ln a blinding Hash the huge chrome plated garage of the ffonesy Dump Truck Fleet, Inc., comes into view, where head driver Albert Podruchny and secretaries, Mercedes Brown and Delores Coughenour, are on strike for more wages from Mr. Bohhy Yones, a very conservative boss who doesn't believe in money. 1 U The scene again swiftly changes to the laboratory of scientists Harvey Spencer, who, due to his brilliant and fruitful experiments behind the soda fountain-of the D. C. Coffee Shop, was recently made chief research chemist in the department of animal and insect poisons at Du Pont Laboratory, Inc. Third Mate Wells set his losing power now but still another picture appears on the screen, yes, it's another hilarious goon cartoon by the famous cartoonist who ran Walt Disney out of business, none other than Mr. Dewey Sawyer. Dewey says cartooning would be alright if it wasn't for those little green men who come and sit on the edge of his drawing board. As Dewey's little green men vanish from the television screen, we see the used car millionaire Harry Adams, who isjust driving out of his used car lot of l00 Makes in the oldjalopy which was his first sale. CHe bought it back for sentimental reasonsl. Harry and his jalopy dissappear in a cloud of smoke and so does our dream. Soooo, we'll just shove this information in under the editor-in-chief's door, fold our hands and silently steal away. JAY and Bos.

Class History It was a beautiful day in September of '43 that our two classes, composed of the people from the several grammar schools in our section, assembled on the ,run- way at Deep Creek High. We were to begin that eventful four years flying course. The HuH y white clouds floated laxily across the sky, as we boarded the two planes The Freshman Spiritn and the Spirit of Synchronization with excited anticipation of the things in store. We had a lot to learn to be good pilots we soon discovered, but with the help of our instructors, Miss West and Miss Lawson., we learned rapidly. Of course we had rainy days which were bad for flying, but with the competent faculty at the control tower we pulled through, VVe began that year with 57 students, but Hying proved to be too rough for some and at the end of the year 5 had bailed out. i In September of '44 we cruised into our second year after a three months' vacation during which two new planes were built for us. We were pretty cocky that year and thought we could navigate for ourselves, but the wise fools soon discovered that they needed the experienced pilots, Mrs. Deal and Mrs. Hatzel. , When eight members bailed out that year we began to wonder if we were taking a course in paratrooping. We weren't too discouraged though, because most of them had been new additions that fall. T So ended another year and we felt that now we were really discoVering'what this thing called flying meant. In the fall of '45 we were overjoyed to find that a plane had been constructed large enough to hold our two classes. CThese modern times lj 1 Our interest seemed to lag that year though and we spent most of our time on the ground at the home base to which we had become attached. D Perhaps it was because we had to plan for that exciting event every senior looks forward to. The junior-Senior Prom! It was after several months of giving dances, parties and pulling our hair out, that with the help of our pilot Mrs. Miller we decided to give it in a Colonial Rose Garden. f We hope that the seniors enjoyed it as much as we did. Good pilots can't just stop though, can they? So back into the blue to increase our ever-growing know- ledge. Our troubles weren't over though, for in june we hit what every pilot dreads, a storm! This was to prove whether or not we passed the grade to become senior pilots. To our joy there were only two who failed and counting the ones that had dropped out we ended that year with 32 junior pilots. Class HiStOry-Continued SEPTEMBER, 1946! The clouds Hoated luxuriously through the beautiful blue. A day so like that one three years ago, yet so different. This was the Red Letter year. The year we received those coveted silver wings. VVe plunged into it headlong with a crew of thirty-six aboard the good plane Commencement with Mrs. Jackson to pilot it. VVe never realized that there were so many things for a senior pilot to do. Pictures were to be taken, calling cards ordered and the invitations that were to bring our friends to see us get those silver wings were to be decided on. We also gave a play and we enjoyed having one of our instructors, Mrs. Watson, to coach us. In January and June we ran into hurricanes which threatened to stop us, but with the experience gained from previous years we soon had the good plane Com- mencement under control. Now as the time draws near for us to receivethose silver wings which will end a chapter of our life and set us upon a new thresholdg we bid our faculty and lower classmen a fond farewell and say chin up and keep those planes of knowledge soaring intotthe blue. .

Farewell Deep Creek High Farewell, but not good bye Class mates and Teachers of Deep Creek High We're leaving, but we'll not forget our whole lifelong For we'll each remember our old school song. Alma Mater to us your words ring trueg Love, faith and respect we've offered you. Most of us have failed at times But at crucial moments we stood sublime. To-morrow is just another day And for success we humbly pray. Courage and kindness taught to us here Will act as a guide thru each coming year. Let not the friendships of high school days Fade out as life's task come our way, Let distance be a minor thing May friendships song in our hearts always ring. Again farewell but not good bye Fond memories will but bring a sigh. And as school days come to a close VVe honor thee more than any one knows. HAROLD D1xoN.
