Ccont.! 'Dr. Carol Luft, Psychiatrist take the stand.' 'Now judge, just relax and answer these fav questions and we shall get to the bottom of this er1me.' 1. If your right eye is looking north, can your left eye look south? It can't? 2. Can you pat your stomach and rub your head at the same time? You can't? 'Hy questioning has proven that you are guilty. Since you can do none of these things, you have been killing time. le charge you, judge, with MURDER.' v CLASS HISTORY One bright and sunny morning in September of 1946 ten lime- green freshmen entered through the pass gate of Green Valley Community High Reformatory. About a month or so later one member made a break and was thus sent to a bigger reformatory. Marilyn Christie may be found at Pekin High, now. Things passed on rather smoothly until our sophomore year. I guess things must have been terribly dull because three in-mates left us for no good reason at all. Now you may find Jim Skaggs around, JoAnn Runyon may be found on her father's farm east of Green Valley, and Mary lou Hartwig is now Mrs. Joseph Berchtold. Our junior year passed rather uneventfully. le put on our first play 'Bsckwoods Romeo' on April Fool'a Day of 1949. I do believe we had more fun during play practices than ever during our high school days. lhen we were put on parole last summer we all worked hard and behaved like sweet angels. lell, we did! And now as we approach our final release from the dearly beloved school we see that our senior year was one of many good natured arguments and fights. we gave 'Brides to Burn' as our Senior play, made big plans for our skip day in Chicago, and had a lot of fun in reminiscing about the days gone by. 16
