7ZoJ6'e74am,u4a The Scholarship of Charles Thompson was profound-as deep and as sound as that of a college professor. To his classes he was ever an inspiration in thought, in advice, and in knowledge. He gave more than just mere instruction-there was al- ways something of profound value which each pupil could take and could use for a lifetime. The lesson plans with which Mr. Thompson taught his classes were scholar- ly, thought provoking, and thorough. Having a deep understanding and love for his fellow man, Mr. Thompson was al- ways willing to give of his time-even when he felt little like doing so-to anyone who had a perplexing problem to be solved. Any desire of praise for his work was totally foreign to his personality. What he did was done without thought of recompense. As William Ernest Henly, a well-known British man of letters, once said, . . . I thank whatever gods may be for my un- conquerable soul . . .

' S0665 - Of 54 The prophecy you are about to read is false. Only the handwriting has been changed to protect the author. It was Tuesday. 1 was working the noon watch of Eastern State. My partner's name is Sam. My name's Monday flost weekend, you understandii 12:01 I got a call on the 419, Teddy Baker had been caught impersonating Jerry Lewis. Glen Sherrod was in on the deal, thinks he's Dean Martin. Brought 'em to headquarters fComer'sj for questioning. After a grueling 5 minutes they began singing. It was a sad tale- Betty Beeler, Marvelyn Buckner, and Jewel Suffridge had been pulling hair over who was to be Marilyn Monroe,s successor. I booked them on the 304- and turned them over to the chief, Simple Toole, known for his ability to dig, dig, dig. 12:02 The chief sent me and Sam over to the world-famous Wolf Bakeries, caterers to all the elite and Bert Gronseth. Someone had been stealing Brownies We nabbed the thief, Johnny Mc Dade. His getaway car was driven by the notorious Rainwater twins, and his gunmoll, Faye Stanford, was perched in the rumble seat, swigging a fifth of Three Snoots Distilled Sparkling Water. Got a call on the 3-way ankle television from the chief. The facts, just the facts, pointed to Jim Brassnucks Pryor. We booked 'em on the 303 and started to grab a gooey sandwich and a muddy cup of coffee at Seagraves' Shack when a 4-alarm call from our spy and all-round stoolie, Jerry Yearwood, sent us over to P. U. fPodunk University.J 12:03 Elmo Harb, world-renowned olympic star, famed in the walking race and discus throw, had been caught trying to stage a tee-shirt raid on the Uga Uga Uga fraternity house. Her accomplices were Yvonne Bridges, Pat Elmore, Glenna Force, Ann Thorpe, and Barbara Sherrod. The president of the college, Wayne Vineyard, gave us a list of the victims. He stated that these huge girls were picking on the smallest boys in the fraternity- Married Man Evars, Cuz Harrington, Sam Peake, Dumb-Head Massengil, and Flirt Haskew. When suddenly a chick began moving my way - kept mumbling something about I must keep in step. I must keep in step . . Y' Heard someone mention her name - Loretta Wilson - and her occupation -trying to keep up with Shortie Hong. 12:04 Saw a suspicious-looking character. Followed it into a dive. Just happened to be my favorite bar, Beelers', run by Hoiman. The bartender, George Groseclose, said to look in the back room. 36
