While walking to her hotel room, Barbara passed by a novelty shop which caught her eye. It was a Stretch Shop for making short people taller. And who should Miss Thayer see, but the owner, Mary Simonds. Mary had grown four inches with her own treatments. Her co-partner Qas alwaysj was Marian Tanksley. While conversing, the girls spied a large crowd gathered across the street. Of course, being Adna girls, they couldn 't go away without finding out what was going on. Upon their arrival at the scene of the crowd, they sighted a middle-aged woman in bobby sox -- bopping! As they looked closer, they discovered that it was one of their classmates from the more quiet set-Ellen Toporke. Although the girls couldn't get close enough to talk to her, and no one, but no one could stop her, the girls heard someone ask her why she was continuing such a conspicuous scene by doing a popular dance from 10 years ago. She announced abrupt- ly , It took me nine years to learn this dance step and I'm not stopping now! With that, the girls returned to the Stretch Shop with exclamations concerning Ellen. Why, she's bopped her way from Adna, across the U. S. A. to New York. Well, maybe she'll be exhausted by the time she bops her way back to Adna and will return to the quiet type of life she led for so many years before. With many good-byes, the girls parted company and Miss Thayer was on her way to her hotel room. At the hotel, Miss Thayer bumped into another of her old friends, Walt Geiszler. Walt, chosen Dairyman of the Year 119571 from Lewis County, was attending a meeting of Dairyman in New York. Walt informed Barbara of the whereabouts of his cousin, Edith Geiszler. Edith was working on a rodeo to be performed on her Bar G Horse Ranch, one of the largest in Texas, enclosing three counties. It seemed as though Edith was the same ambitious horse lover that she was in high school. A While on her journey home, she heard over the news telecast that Don Haase, another former classmate, had just won a.n annual auto race at Santa Anita. He is the only contes- tant ever to win the finals for the loudest horn, of which Don's was perfection. When Barbara reehed home, she felt she had been very fortunate in meeting and hearing about her former AHS classmates. 20

CLASS POEM: COURAGE This is courage: to remain Brave and patient under paing Cool and calm and firm to stay In the presence of dismayg Not to flinch when foes attack, Even though you're beaten backg Still to cling to what is right, When the wrong possesses might. This is courage: to be true To the best men see in youg To remember, tempest-tossed, Not to whimper, All is lost! But to battle to the end While you still have strength to s Not to cry that hope is gone While you've life to carry on. This is courage: to endure Hurt and loss you cannot cureg Patiently and undismayed, Facing life still unafraidg Glad to live and glad to take Bravely for your children's sake Burdens they would have to bear If you fled and ceased to care. CLASS MOTTO: Not at the topg but climbing. CLASS COLORS: Blue and White CLASS FLOWER: Red Rose 22 pend 9
