Dear Miss Long, You will be surprised to receive a letter from us. But we have had such a thrilling experience that we felt you would like to hear about it. In case you haven't heard, we are taking a tour together through Egypt and the Sahara Desert. Our life’s ambition to travel is finally being realized and we find ourselves overcome by the mystic spell of the desert. It is impossible to put into words the beauty and fascination of the East. One evening at dusk our caravan stopped at a small town after a half day’s journey. At nightfall, the cool desert breezes, min- -led with distant beating of drums, awakened our adventurous spirits and led us out into the streets to see the town by night. At first, the feeling of being alone in this land of mystery among strange people frightened us, but we were determined to go on. We had only walked a block or more when vve were suddenly accosted by a gruesome- looking figure crouched in the sand, crying .in broken English, he begged us to stop and listen; but we shrank back in terror. With long boney fingers. He began to make strange markings in the sand and we fell under his spell. Me sand on the ground beside him and to our astonishment he began to mumble out familiar names-names of our classmates of 1957. He told us about each one, and we will try to tell you briefly what he foretold. Frances Cullen—Tombourine shaker for the Salvation Army, fiarvid Ritchey—Cigarette girl at a Nightclub in Harlem.

OPTIMIST Havinc spent my high school hays in the Saxton Liberty High School, I don't believe that there is a better school in the community. Our Senior Class is far from being slow as we have accomplished more than all the proceeding classes, ’Ye sponsored a play--the first for several years-- Here Comes Charlie. It was a grand success, ’Ye are glad to see that the Juniors are following our example by putting on a play under the direction of Miss McCahan. '.Ye will surely miss Miss Long's English class for without her to correct our sure's and surely's we wouldn't be a ble to even begin to write this. hr6 want to express our appreciation to those who were very willing to help in all the programs sponsored by the school. The hard-working boys of the Ag. class under Mr. Timmons have certainl;' beautified our surroundings by taking care of the lawn. They have planted shrubbery and are going to keep the lawn in order. The Senior Class wish to give Mr. and Mrs. Sharpe their best v ishes and we hope they may live happily ever after. The monitors are to be congratulated upon the fine way in which they kept the students changing in a neat and orderly manner. Ye hope that the next group of monitors will continue in the same way. ” e believe that the Freshmen will be trained very well because their started in the school under the supervision of Miss Dick and Mr. Timmons. '.Ye wish to congratulate Mr. Graham on the fine tea.ms he has produced in the past, and hope for many more in the future. The School Carnival this year was a great success due to the great help from the extra curricular activities and student body as well. '.Ye have done our best to set a good exa.mple for the under classmen and hope that they have benefited through our work. — Vernon Dixon — Donald Moffatt - 28 -
