aaa alhdfor As Class 51 rushes down the walk followed by the pests, Mr. Study and Mr. Examina- tion, he bumps into Mr, Hudnut his psychiatrist at the corner, In a few minutes Mr. Study and Mr. Examination catch up with him and loudly accuse him of not attempting to study and fail- ing to pass Mr, Examination, Mr, Hudnut says, Calm down, calm downl We will settle this in my office, Class 51, you may begin now. Well, Doc, it all began back in 1947 when I became a Freshman, I felt shy and bashful and wished to be more like my classmates -- Eva Denason, President, Betty Dubenin, Vice President, Shirley Lackey, Secretary, Beverly Boyle, Treasurer. Mr. Study and Examination chimed in together and said, It was the only year you did work, Doc Hudnut said, Please don't interrupt and let the man continue, Through my diligent study, I became a Sophomore, My pals -- Norman Barrow, President, Ronnie Fisher, Vice President, Lucy Jones, Secretary, Eunice Chew, Treasurer, and I sponsored a dance by which we became more impudent, I became popular throughout the school for my performance of the Ituiior Play titled Atomic Blonde , Under the capable leadership of Ronnie Fisher, President, Norman Barrow, Vice President, Betty Dubenin, Secretary, and Bob Pardonnet, Treasurer, we sponsored the Junior and Senior Prom, Mr, Study and Examination at this point leaped to their feet and disgustedly pronounced that that was all Class 51 did was to sponsor a dance and not study, Class 51 indignantly jumped to his feet and protested by saying, I passed, didn't I , Mr. Hudnut screams, Please, Mr, 51, don't excite yourself, You may go on nowf' As my first days as a Senior I was very excited and much thrilled, It was through me that Norman Barrow, President, Duane Valenti, Vice President, Betty Dubenin, Secretary, and Bob Pardonnet, Treasurer became leaders for the class. But it's only because of Miss Stewart and Mr, Moon, your sponsors, that you finally made the grade , exclaimed Mr, Study and Mr, Examination, Doctor Hudnut announces that Class 51 has a guilty complex because he has not studied as hard as he could, but that he will have great expectations for him in the future, Mr, Study and Examination nod their heads in agreement and say they shall not bother him in the future if he shall promise to do his best. This Class 51 promises as he departs from the psycho's office, Carole Chevalier Glen Ingram 29
