THE CHARGE Please do not confuse this with Jim Tuttle’s Charge. If this resembles in anyway anything written in the past it Is purely coincidental. Gretchen Hieronymus your class president shouldn't worry so much about other's defeats. Bruce Young you should discard your quiet ways, as in bookkeeping, before you become a Senior, Jean don't let it get you down because your classmates call you Mousey. Bob Mayberry don't you know that Seniors are supposed to be dignified? Looks liko your going to be busy this summer practicing what Emily Post preaches. Do you know a tall, dark, handsome follow in your class whose theme song is, Lady if I Seem Over Amorous? Dick Gilbert have you finally gotten that heater fixed? With or without Aileen's help? Betty Karrick, say, have you decided between B. D. and R. A? Dick Schmidt do you always jump up on desk's and cheer your teachers when you come in class? Frank Lauor some of your classmates might do well to follow your example, and stay in class a little more. Matilda Bishop by the way what is in Decatur that is so attractive? Wayne Policy or should wo say Stooge, who are you going to transfer your affections to next year? Did you ringa da bell Helen, or was it someone else? Bill Purcoll do flea sandwiches always make you sick? We're curious, Jean Hout, just how things are between you and Dick, or are they? Ailoen where did you get that cute little giggle? Don't you think you better discard it for a laugh of a sophisticated Senior? Wilma I don't blame you for taking Home Ec, P. E. is too boring or something. Well, have you found out who the Second Swoon King is? YesJ you guessed it Corky. We leave with you this advice, and lots of Good Luck for next year.
