Since he's a big wheel he lqnows everybody. ln fact, l bor- rowed his little blacli address book and found scads of information. Vlforlaing as his Vllashington sec- retary is his wife Lois Bartlett Lee. Assisting Lois in Wfashington are fo Ann Reid and Linda Par- ham, clerli-typists. The booli stated that Donald Miller is an acrobat for the Steele-Reichard Circus. Lo and behold, Mary Ann Nlatthews is in charge of concessions. Sheis always seen with money bags. Often she gets rid of some of the loot at Mary Karl Millers Fashion Shoppe. Here the chief models are Rainey Moose, Xflartha Patterson, and Alona Stewart. Often shopping here is the movie g 3CllC1', now called Rridgit Hardman. Scanning carefully, l found Neal Sigmon acting sofofo trapped! Ring cle bell before I moicler cle lmnzf as Nehruls understudy. His old pal, Dean Helms, produces musicals and the leads in 'Uff-Beat Charlotte are none other than Ronnie Ioyce, the popular dancer, and crazy galf, Rosie VVilson. Paul Reel fd' gets to see many of his former friencs at his grill, The New Yorker Acorn. Its the hangout for photographer VVinfred Seitz and news reporter Frank Rohleder. The head waiter here is Bill Saxon. Checking carefully I found from the booli that johnny Butler manufactures deluxe high-speed windshield wipers. He stays so busy that he cant enjoy his own car. Of course, he never drives. His old friend, Jerry Rollins, is his chauffeur. John- ny's publicity agent is VVayne Anderson. Gerald Gibson, I learned, is a successful archi- tect. Vvorliing with him as draftsmen are Douglas Smith, -Iimmy Drye, and Larry hflartin.

On looking back it's hard to 'cite pare ticular days and deeds. The classes, teachers, friends, and games together filled our needs. Among these needs were knowledge, inspiration, kindness, truth, All of these were generously offered in our youth. The school makes the difference: the guidaneefas we all know- Can be the block or stepping stone, determining where we'll go. VVho can measure what we've gained? VVho can count the cost? VVe only east regretful eyes on opporf tunities lost. HOW swiftly have these years passed by, filled with Inemories dear, Now we've reached the parting time we've thought of all the year. Yes, we've finish our high school years: Graduation Day is nigh, But we'd gratefully do it o'er again for our beloved Harding High. Raise your heads proudly, Seniors: strive hard in what you try. You have a mighty name behind you. Alma Mater, Harding High. PAT JONES, Class Poet 'FP va' ara :W
