JUNIOR RESPONSE TO THE SENIOR WILL We, the Jolly Juniors, would like to give you, the dearly beloved, sophisticated, and, may I add, soon-to-be-forgotten. Seniors, a quick witted response to your dear and thoughtful bequests. Here is a worth-while suggestion for each Senior as he leaves dear old A.C.H.S. Lynd Wertheim, We suggest that you bag your Stag . (Hartsburg Stag, that is.) Jack Warrick, We suggest that you continue starting new fashions for men and become the Atlanta equivalent of Christain Dior. Noble Usherwood, We suggest that you'd be a good Physics teacher on Mars. Sue Short, We suggest that you form your own basketball team and call them the Short Trotters . Jack Shay, We suggest that you curb your ambition before it tempts you into becoming a Dr Jeckle-Mr. Hyde. Thressia Parks, We suggest that you continue to be seen at the side of a Lin-colnite. Patsy Nichols, We suggest that you incorporate your popcorn business to make the folding money instead of just small change. Jackie McKown, We suggest that you become a model and model wedding gowns for designer Warrick. Roger Leesman, We suggest that you make a contract with the local bakery for regular deliveries of assorted cookies each week so that you won't miss the supply from the Home Ec. room. Jerry Lessman, We suggest that you be the first to install push-button farming in Logan County. Duane Kindred, We suggest that you become a foot doctor, because you've had enough experience. JillHughes, We suggest that you pick a man who drives a Chevrolet as your husband . Frank Harwood, We suggest that you change your singing style so that you won't give Nat King Cole too much competition. Maxine Harris, We suggest that you become a librarian since you're so quiet. Jane Cary, We suggest that you give voice and violin lessons to Jack Benny. Wilma Bruner, We predict that you'll give Billy Oldacker competition as an auctioneer because you talk so fast and loud. Davy Amberg, We suggest that you avoid making the headlines as a stockpile (oops) stockcar driver. Jim Adams, We sugge st that that you'll never be in a car accident, if you always stop for stop signs. Dixie Baker, We suggest that you become an English teacher so you can teach Liberace how to say, Thank You, Ladies and Gentlemen. 24
