The cushioned soles of the basketball star,the spikes of the baseball hopeful, the silver and gold for the first formal, and the sober brown and black of the official board--these tell the story ofayear at Eli Whitney, the year our an- nual has recorded for you.

Dear Seniors, You look very dignified in your formal portraits, and positively glamorous in your May Day finery. But the real you has been in the classroom for the past nine months. That is how I shall remember you. W.A.,Iknewall the time that it was not your fault. You were surrounded by sly neighbors. George, I shall never again help you find a lost article. I located your class ring and you re- fused to reclaim it. As for Samuel Minter--well, he and Jack should have remembered to close the barn door before they left for high school day, Margaret, Van Doran is a lucky boy. Frances, don't tell anyone why your May Day bouquet looks different. Any way it's a real work of art. Pat and Jo are remembered as good cheer- leaders and excellent "band" members. I now salute organized labor, the U. S. W. Do the initials really mean what you said? Judging from what Charles and David have been peddling, they probably do. Has Julian remained faithful to the union? Johnny, all those guns make me glad I'm on your side. Bobby, tell your Mother I'm looking forward to her visit. Edith Mae, Ihonestly believe you can file the young man's income tax. Larry did you have to pick on Jack? You were taking an awful chance for it really was muscle. Carol and Beckie,howcould you be so forgetful. Thanks for waiting until near the end of the season before knocking yourselves out. Somehow Billy Riley's heart was never with usg it was always in the freshmen room. Max, too, had that distant gaze, Joe Billy and C.A., you sat on the front seat. But why did youturn around so much? Was the light better that way? Billee, you've been unusually good considering such things as the char ---- boy who shared your table. That sparkler on Katie's finger has brightened the room--all the way over to Alice Faye, the super-saleslady. I hereby forgive you all for the uncensored jokes in chapel, Bye Now, Edith Mogle M ,,. , .H . ,M ,,,,r"'..W1 nf ,,A,,,, q,M..m4.. ., , X A N wo- ww " ZW .-.w,.,.,....,mw.m V, wmmxmmfp MW www-Vwwwil-. . -A ww mm Mr., wmv f LLI fl? 1 r 1 mnnfmusnzsm frm: www 5 gif 1 wnn EQ ll 6,4 gf.
