CLASS OF ’59 ABOUT TO GRADUATE! Tiic race is on! As soon as Mr. Cleveland excuses the seniors after lunch, eight boys begin the sprint towards the senior room. They all arc aiming for the same objective: the “card table,” but not with the same purpose. You see, half of them want to play Whist and the other four want to play bridge. This particular day, Gess, the track star, has led his teammates, Carrot-top Rank, Knob, and Slough-foot Stu, the bridge players, on to victory. The Whist players, Seed-boy, Amooka Rieke, Rog, and Nellie, arc not disgruntled, however. Instead they begin to play in front of the book lockers, where Altman and Andrus are arguing over the Russian education system. Zorro is rather confused today, though, because he’s lost his notes. Black Bart Faegre, Ulf and Holtic are sitting on the coach. Bart is in ecstasy because the radio is playing his favorite song, “Canadian Sunset. Ulf and Bobbie are pleading with Bart to change the radio to KRSI. They arc two of the few rock and roll haters. But before a real argument can begin, Steve Lewis runs in to announce that the mail has arrived. Charlie Lane is the first senior to answer the “mail call,” for his one and only is on vacation. Gessner leaves the bridge game to practice a little of his hot piano in the music room. Ridg is invited to play but declines because he can’t find his history notes. Seniors participate in favorite extra-curricular activity. Young love. The bridge game is kept going, however, because Newy comes back from the bio lab. His mind isn’t on the cards, though, because he’s too busy complaining about the bio quiz. He only got a 90. H. B. McCarthy is restraining his fellow seniors Lin DcardorfT and Pete Thomas from breaking the already shoddy senior room furniture. Mike, besides being Head-Boy, is Hcad-Furniturc-Saver. In the far corner Pete Ratner and his two swimming cohorts, Jack Shronts and Hun Schocl, are discussing the tactics for the swimming meet. Jack suggests swim fins so the team will be sure to win. And now we leave the senior room anti go to the trophy room. Here we see Toto Templeton lecturing on chemistry to a group of juniors, while Tom Ensign and Larry Dawes listen in awe. A small argument is brewing between Hedge and Frankcmcr. Hedge insists the Call-O-Pan is coming along on schedule. However, Frank is going down to the printers to make sure. In another corner Graf Crabb is helping Max straighten out the wrestling s forc-book. All seniors arc now accounted for except Knut who could only be one place — studying in the geometry room, and Bob Wilkie and Rick Hcnscl, who arc down in the parking lot. Wilk is showing Rick his new “Bonnie” and asking him how big an impression the car would make out in California. 25
