The fall of 54 brings 30 real gone squares to Mrs. Campbell’s room. In checking roll we discover, that Lois McGee, Gale Marshall, and Wayne Ward have jumped bond. To account for these three losses we have admitted Sarah Kirkwood, Pat Hill, and Charles Gard. Pat and Charles are with us only a short time though before being transferred. Upon further inspection we dis- cover that Arietta McDaniels has been paroled by marriage. The gang leaders appointed are: Eddie Tucker.............................President Diane Shonk.........................Vice-President Judy Lumsden.............................Secretary Phylis Barnes............................Treasurer Jackie Sims...............................Reporter Faye Pritts and Ron Garrett .... Student Council Guard of the gang this year is Coach Jostes. Jackie Sims is beginning a three year term as cheerleader and Mary Kay Twenty is still serving as majorette. The junior gang called for a meeting to elect new brains of the outfit. Those promoted were: Diane Shonk..............................President Eddie Tucker........................Vice-President Phylis Barnes............................Secretary Violet Miller............................Treasurer Judy Lumsden..............................Reporter Sandra Barnes, Faye Pritts, and Ronnie Garrett. . .

They were: Ronnie Robbins, Larry Farris, Gene Marshall, Carroll Hall, Bradley Herendeen, Dave Cain, Mary Kay Twenty, Diana Herendeen, and Jeanette Armor. Two of our former pals, Wayne Ward and Mary Kay Twenty, flew back, bringing with them Roy Book and Bruce Stroyeck, who became new mem- bers of the gang.

Glancing upward we saw Shirley Heckler with a load of wash and groceries trudging up the steep grade. Upon inquiry we found that she was on her way to clean the house of the tribe’s bachelor, Howard Brown. “How that man does mess things up!’’ she simpered as she waved good bye. The building to come into view next was the repair shop of Ronald Crane’s. He repairs wrecked dinosaurs. His best customer, Bruce Stroyeck, was there getting the blocks lowered and a new set of duals put on his favorite hopped up dinosaur, Farfel. “Don’t! Stop! A-h-h-h-h!’’ These bloodcurling screams split our ears as we rounded a corner to find Faye Prius dragging Skip into her cave by his long beard. Just like old times! As memory returned to us we remembered the last news broadcast we had heard. We had been informed that the waters of the world were slowly advancing and that over a period of about ten years they should cover the earth. When we heard the loud steady roar we both knew it was THE END. GOOD LUCK SENIORS Compliments of POOLE'S DRUG STORE PHIL'S DRIVE INN MART Bethany, Illinois Bethany, Illinois F. H.

BROTHER GOOSE appeared on the scene December 2, and was a real gone play. For our departing inmates, the seniors, we threw a real keen prom at the Decatur Club on May 12.

Law Men, (Student Council) Miss Brown, Mr. Jarand.......................Guards One of our cats, David Windell, was released on bail and another, Jon Walen, was picked up. During Christmas one real gone kitten, Anita Lillico, jumped parole and was married, however, she came back to finish her term. THE FORM DIVINE, our senior play, was a real smooth job and came off without a hitch on April 5. On May 18 the junior bunch threw a real hep Prom for all us departing cool cats. We really flew the coup when we marched up to the warden to receive our permanent paroles on May 24, 1957. The break was final when we took time off on good behavior to fly to the Ozarks.
