ALL EYES ARE FOCUSED ON a brand new epic just re-
leased this year, but one which we feel sure will be re-
produced in the theater of education for a long time to
come. We charge no admission, for anyone who takes part
in the entire show comes out owning that which is worth
more than anyone could give, a liberal education. It is
entitled NThe Lowpoint-Washburn High School,Wand the co-
operation and encouragement of its many spectators will
insure its success in the future years.

PROPHUCY
One brlsk, W1UtPT ornlng 1n the y ar 1975, I sprang llghtly out
of bed nd pulled a plastlc suit over my electr1cally heated long
underwe r I swallowed three vltamwn ollls for breakfast CI always
have an enormous apoetlte 1U the WOFHlDg7, and Jumped 1nto my sports
cop or It 1 s the day for my weekly v1s1t to my old classmate, Verna
Je n Inhoff, the great lnventor, so I headed for her laboratory The
o thlng she has lnvented as f t 1S an electrlc eye that flts on the
doors of school bulldlngs nd de+ects gtm ln the mouths of the puplls
an never a pupll 15 caught golng through the door chewlng gum, two
steel hands, controlled br the electrlc eye, grab the student, reach
lnto h1s mouth, and remove the gum The only fault 1U the nachlne is
that about half the tlme the puplls tongue 1S removed along w1th the
gum
Verna Jean was very glad to see me, but I thought I notlced a
gleam 1U her eye She told me she had lnvented somethlng new, a ma
chlne whlch travels 1U the hthdl1FUSlOH and can take a person anywhere
1U the orld 1U less than a second
WThe only thlng wrong lS that I need someone to test lt for m ,
she SW119d, and moved closer I started for the door
'Oh, no you don't I've got to be golng, now I wouldn't r1de 1n
that thlng for all then She moved closer
'P1ease, Johnnlev
No!!
Please
'No, absolutely not'N She plcmed up a p1pe wrench from a benc
Pleaseo
I Jumped 1nto her 1nvent1on
HI'll be glad to test thls thlng for you How does lt wor OH
She showed me by S12mW1UP the door of the machlne ln my face and
throwlng a swltch on the fall Wverythlng started SD1UH1Ug and I was
s r that awe to, I would be dead
However, lt so happened that I never lost consc1ousness 1D the
f1rst place The SU1UU1Hg stopped abruptly and I clambered out to look
around I could see lmmedlately that I was 1U the m1ddle of Hollywood
In f ct, I was 1U the m1ddle of Gene Cordes' SW1mmlHg pool After an
ho1r's FlTl0US SW1WWlU9, I reached the edge and clambered out to talk
w1th Gene, whom I hadn't seen slnce we graduated from hlgh school I
told hlm he needed a halrcut, but he sald he was lettlng h1s halr grow
o1t been se h1s S+Ld1O was PO1Hg to brlng back the old movle 'Quo
Vadmsn, and he was POIHF to play the part of Ursus, the glant Gene
sa d he w s PO1UP to demand that they get h1m a stunt man to play h1s
part when he flghts the bull, because the I1TSt tlme he trled lt hlm
self, th btll stuck one of h1s horns clean through Gene, Just below
the heart I asked hlm 1f lt hurt ver ch t the t e, and Gene sald
only when he glgsled
I sald goodbye to Gene and declded to stroll through Hollywood
before I left I was QOIHH around a corner when I almost ran over Mar
lene Bond le were glad to see each other, and she told me she owned
a parrot farm now w1th l0,000 talklng parrots I asked her lf she
d1dn't thlnk havlng l0,000 parrots around the house wasn't a straln on
the nerfes, but she gust cocked her head, whlstled between her teeth

the sign outslde an opera house whlch sa1d that they were honored lH
havlng Miss Patrlca Logan 1n person ton1ght Good old Pat I knew all
the talking she had done 1n hlgh school would strengthen her vocal
muscles, and now, here she was, an opera star I went lHS1d6 to talk
to her and she asked me 1f I would l1ke to hear her Slhg her newest
song h1t of the opera I sa1d I would, so she began,
'0h, you remember Grandma's lve soap
I'm sure Pat w1ll forg1ve me for leavlng her so qu1ckly, but I remem
bered that I'd better f1nd the other members of our class of NSBW
I wandered over to some tennls courts, and dlscovered that two of
the people playlng were good frlends of mlne, namely, Rosle Splcer and
John Trump I talked to John and he 1nformed me that he was still go
1ng to hlgh school When I asked hlm why, he blushed and sald,
W ell, shucks, those hlgh school girls are sure a lot of fun
He told me that Ros1e was operat1ng a stammerlng school for people who
have trouble speaking I turned to Rosie and asked her how she llked
helplng people stop stam erlng
WOh, I I I l l llke lt f f f1ne,u Sald Rosle

Fred was s1tt1ng readlng a story to h1s 2 year old quadruplets
when I walked 1n He told me that he was happily marrled and has been
worklng for the last 15 years 1U a factory, manufacturlng phonograph
needles I asked him 1f he ever got bored dolng nothlng but manufact
uring phonograph needles He looked surprlsed and sald,
'Why no' It's lots of fun lots of fun lots of fun lots of fun
I closed the door softlr and ran a half mlle down the street I
declded that after that I deserved a llttle enterta1nment, so I went
1nto a huge bu1ld1ng wh1ch 3dVBTt1S8d WT9St11Hg for that nlght The
flrst bout had already started when I sat down It was between a b1g
fellow and a llttle fellow, so I started rootlng for the llttle one,
who looked like someone I should know I d1dn't recognlze h1m untll
the b1g mug plcked h1m up and threw hlm on top of me Then, as I tr1ed
to crawl out from underneath h1m, I notlced that lt wasn't a Nh1m', it

she was gettlng along She growled at me and asked me to wa1t and
watch her nmolder d1s bumn Then she clambered back 1nto the rlng, and
I leaped for the nearest BX1t It certa1nly looked as lf Sandy was do
1ng all T1Uht I found my machlne and set the d1als for Chlcago When
I arrlved, about a second later, I stepped out and d1scovered I was on
the grassy lawn of a huge, spaclous mansion I wandered 1n the froni
door and looked around Then, to my lmmense surprlse, who should come
to greet me but my old classmate, John Robbins
He lnformed me that he was operatlng th1s rest haven for deranged
hot rodders It 1S called the NCute Cottage for Crazy Car K1llers W
I wasn't surprlsed when John told me that many of our schoolmates were
patlents of h1s He added that there was always a supply of old tlres
and lots of matches for whenever a pat1ent w1shes to 'burn onen

President Duane Puiram
Vice President Ronnie Hahn
Secretary W1 anor Boon
Treasurer George Adaml
Reporter Anne Fitch
Student Council Bob Fmery
Evelyn Melsmer

Mr Martin Stephenson
During the year they had the Nmisfortune' of losing one
of their classmates, Russell Gray, who walked off the set and
sivned a contract with a rival studio, Mid County
To boost the morale of their treasury they sold Wcoke
at the high school and soft dr1nks at all Uhome' basketball
games They also staged a chili supper, the outcome of which
was debatable
Now they are looking forward to next fall when they will
beginthelr last year at LowPo1nt Washburn High and the thrill
