 As I was resting in the shade of an evergreen tree in the Canadian forests I began to dream back into my school days. Suddenly a small whirlwind of dust attracted my attention. On the first dust whirl I seem to see the face of my old school chum, Bruce Price. It seems he is doing quite well for himself as he is now in command of the Navy. Slowly fading into another whirl, Bruce's face is re placed by that of Jane Dices'. She has long been married and there are twins at her side. She is the wife of an auditor. On another whirl there is Tom Russell along with Jack Whittaker who are the owners of immense ranches. They are just sitting back and taking life easy. Must have made their living a long time ago. They always were the easy- going type. Glenn Smith is riding a blinding, blustery whirl of dust and is a minister now. He seems perfectly satisfied to seek out the unruly towns and tame them. He turned out to be somewhat of a surprise to his old classmates. On the last tip of the whirlwind, there are Shirley Eaton and Virginia Cramp. They are both in business now. Shirley is running an office and Virginia is a beauty operator in a classy beauty shop. There seems to be a man helping her. Must be Harold Oleson. Oh well, guess I'll be on my way. What became of me? Oh, I'm a retired race track owner on my vacation in the north woods of Quebec, Canada. ---Larry Russell

Tom and Larry Russell and Glenn Smith entered the Eagle school in the second grade. Virginia Cramp and Bruce Price joined the class in the fourth grade. Bruce attended school at Piney for a short time and rejoined the class in the sixth grade. Jane Dice also joined the class in the sixth grade but later attended school in Missouri, rejoining the class in our Junior year in High School. Jack Whittaker and Shirley Eaton from Brush Creek made their appearance in the class during our seventh and eighth grades. Others have joined the class from various places later dropping from the class roll. Among these were Dorothy Carter, who left us in our Junior year to enter the bonds of matrimony; James Thayer, Earl Glaze, and Richard Haggart transferred to other schools before we entered high school. Entering high school in the fall of 1947, like most Freshmen, our aim was to set the world on fire, not only by achieving high scholastic standings but by partici- pating in all extra-curricular activities and making a name for ourselves. In this endeavor, we have not been without our share of success. Bruce Price, Tom Russell Larry Russell, Glenn Smith and Jack Whittaker have been members of the football and basketball teams; Jane Dice Shirley Eaton, and Virginia Cramp have been outstanding in Glee Club, Pep Club and Band. Activities sponsored by our class were; the Junior Play, Showdown At Sawtooth ; and our Senior Play, A Date With Judy. We were responsible for starting the Stage Door Canteen in our Junior year. We are still looking forward to Sneak Day and the month of May, when we have our Commencement Exercises. Each of our eight members is looking forward to receiving that Sheep Skin so we too can take our place in the world of experience. Motto: Use today; tomorrow may never come. Colors: Green and Gold.
