Good times should be made to last. Haste, that notorious enemy of memories, turns awareness into forgetful ness. And, momentous experiences are over almost before they’ve begun. Fun times, unique times become lost times... Darn hair! Gettin’ so I need a coach cut ! Let Us Not Look Back in Anger, Nor Forward in Fear, But Around in Awareness. KENNETH ORVILLE GW EVE He stoops to nothing, but the door. JOHN DELL BOLICK Once I was caught studying and I’ve never lived it down. BONNIABELLE KAY GRIEVE Dynamite comes in small packages. IRENE ANN GEHRKE I've already made up my mind, so don't confuse me with the facts. 8 RUDOLPH JOSEPH HABERMAN Right dry. CHRISTINE WILLA HALL She is loved for her quiet friendliness. ROBERT WAYNE JUNGERT Not whether he won or lost; but how he played the game. CRAIG ARNOLD JOHNSON He can because he believes he can. MARILYN ANN MILLER Big eyes, brown hair, happy heart, and little care. MONTY BURTON RICH No use worrying about life; you'll never get out of it alive. JEFFREY L.
