And there is Farmer Leroy Bowles, He does his work so fastg What I want to know is Which he's growing, cotton or grass. Deep in the heart of Texas, Tommy Cooper, I'm sure you'1l find. Not doing hard work, tis true But flirtin' with girls of every kind. Here's an efficient secretary, Frances Davisg She's a regular shorthand shark , It's fun she agrees in her spare time To stroll with her good-looking boss in the park Joyce Stewart's the great one over there, From now on she'1l never speak. She was from a small town, But now she's at Ho1lywood's peak. Don Hall is now a professional football player, Of this he has made a racket. Although he has a Buick and a chauffeur, He still wears his ragged Grandview jacket. Now take our farmer friend, Jean Davis, Whose cows all take a prize, But alas! he has no wife And in this his wealth lies. Look at Sterling Ellis, School work for him was a treat, But when it comes to a family, He can't make both ends meet. James Baker is now on the screen, He's as good as one of the Dodgersg In every picture he makes a hit, He's even buddy-pals with Roy Rogers. Fame has come to Imogene Tackett, Who always was quite smart. While nursing the sick, she comes Very close to their heart.

I9 O pfzoplzecies as geen ?'zom The e'zow's 'nesf Now look at our Friend, Ola Mae Henderson, Of college she got her fill. So she's going to make a movie star And you can bet your boots she will. With tools Charles Cain is a genius, So from school he fled, Worked at the garage and The boss' daughter he did wed. Down in the land of Mexico Jean Williams has made many friends, She's selling tortillas by the dozen-- Just think of the money she spends. Neil Kiker is a happy yokel, The same old lazy lug . He puffs his pipe like an old steam engine, And drinks from his little brown jug. Now look at our chum, Carol Moore, Looks like she's doing fine. She travels from Canada to Mexico Collecting money from her gold mines. Heard the lastest about our old school chum? Janie Basham's all decked in minksg Riding down the avenue in her Cadillac, She catches all the boy's winks. A Hampshire farm on a hillside green, That's E. J. Barnes idea of a dream come true, But beware, all girls, this is a fact, He'11 think more of his pigs than you. From absentee slips she has now graduated Into an office all her own, It's our efficient Maggie Sue, who now can pay Someone else to answer the phone. A very ambitious girl is Dorothy Bogard, She always wants her way And soon, I predict she will visit The unemployment agency each day.

fast and 7-esfamenf of the Glass IQSO Gt qftg Know all men by these presents: to wit and half wit: The class of 1950 being of sound mind, with a few notable exceptions, does hereby dispose of its numerous and noteworthy possessions and talents as follows: Frances Davis wills her ability to get a three day vacation from school to Norma Bitnerl. fFormula: xione walk to town- 2x:no explanation to teacher x-pelledl. Reluctantly Sterling Ellis wills to Bob Hale his eighth grade courtship. No sarcasm, Bob, remember you were once in grammar school. With great caution Carol Moore leaves her junk collection to Voncille Byars. You'll find these precious treasures pinned on the walls of her roomg don't destroy a one, Voncille, for each preserves a happy memory. Charles Cain bestows upon Gilbert Gatlin his innocent appearance. Maybe Mr. Stanley won't catch you so often now, Gilbert. Ola Mae Henderson leaves her quiet, studious nature for Mary Elizabeth Bennett. May you have a straight A card, Mary Elizabeth and overcome all the B's that buzz your way. Jean Williams bequeaths her ability to sling paint, be it whitewash or kem- tone, to Dorothy Siratt. In the former instance she suggests you learn to spell Itasca correctly, Dorothy. With much malice and no forethought Maggie Sue Kiker leaves her technique of walking out of bookkeeping class without an explanation to the teacher. Use it freely, Mary Helen, for it will work almost any day. Leroy Bowles leaves his book, How to Drive in Six Easy Lessons to Jo Lynn Holloway. She needs it! E. J. Barnes, being of unsound mind, cannot be held responsible for any- thing he says or doesg therefore he just leaves--isn't that enough? Don Hall leaves his ability of always having somebody chase after him to Thelma Jo Lanfear. It ought to bring you as much luck as a four leaf clover, Thelma. Joyce Stewart wills her knowledge of how to play the game cock-eye QSlap- ping cheeks or sticking fingers in eyesj to any Junior girl dumb enough to use this system. After much surveying, James Baker leaves to Floy Hinson a map showing the new route to Jean Williams' house. With all those difficult roads to fol- low, you'll need it, Bedford. Janie Basham begrudgingly wills her unforgettable title, One of the White- wash Kids to Barbara Chapman. We know you're slick , Barbara, but get your story straight before the superintendent talks to you.
