Give And Take -Continued from page 33- When this portion was over, Dudley found he still had quite a number of un- claimed prizes. Elaine Hursa's continuous giggle was given to anyone who will enjoy it as much as she did. With a glance at Mrs. Sparrow, Dudley announced that Eric J ohnson's ability to disrupt the whole bookkeeping class was available to anyone who would keep up the custom. Jerry Lair's position of only man on the jury went to the victim of next year's government class. Any boy who thinks he can excell Winford Legate in playing Romeo with any leading lady was asked to step up and take Winford's ability. Another prize offered that no one chose was Marilyn Lundeen's nickname of Lucy which was given to anyone fortunate enough to have the name of Lucille. Irvin Ray's title of Derby was offered to anyone who wanted it. Next year's senior girls won Marilyn Reynold's mischievous antics in home ec. Dean Staley's interest in Moline went to anyone who thinks he can get it. To anyone who can afford to buy the gas, Stanley Tyrrell will gladly give his job of chauffeuring the sophomore girls. Dave Waight's temper will be awarded to anyone who thinks he can control it. Then came the time for the teachers to come forward. In this section of the pro- gram the questions were, of course, more difficult. The teachers didn't choose their prizes. The seniors decided on them. To Mr. Staggs we gave our frequent trips to the office after we have left class. Mr. Clark was given our sincere thanks for being such a helpful friend and class sponsor. We awarded Mrs. Yeager our white gym suits and good sportsmanship. Mrs. Hussey won all of our vocabulary books, since we have the words clearly imprinted on our minds. Miss Boley smilingly accepted our dear suits and our messes in the kitchen in girls' and boys' home ec. To Mr. Zimmerman we gave our noise in first . period study hall. Maybe it will be quieter next year without us. Mr. Manley smiled as we gave him our undiscovered musical talents and our thirty minutes a day practice. Mr. Sturm accepted our athletic abilities to strengthen next year's team. Our tamperings with the office equipment went to Mary Jean Mrs. Sparrow was given our commercial understandings and a few chicken scratches from the large shorthand class. To Mr. Bair and Mr. McLean we gave our thanks for helping us so much especially after games. ' To dear old ACHS we gave our love. -41- L v 'f5 E Q gt bl 1,51 IA T
