LARRY TUCKER Larry Known for his good spirits. F.F.A. 1,3,4. ELIZABETH VALE Liz Her HOWDY will go down in history. G.A.A. 1,2,3,4; POW WOW 4. through the speech course I took at Brimfield High School as a '68 student, I was able to learn how to project. I believe this was the single most important factor in my becoming a karate expert. The graduates of 68 had high hopes for Robert Smith and his future, but for some reason his mathematical genius just never took full blossom. He is now custodial engineer at the new Nuclear Physics Building here in Brimfield. There are rumors that he runs the entire plant himself on the night-shift, but that may be just idle gossip. What have we here! Larry Tucker, that International Playboy, has just arrived with several carloads of admirers. There has been a book written about him entitled, Who's Afraid of Larry the Wolf. Oh, well. . . on to the next arrival. Liz Vale--meter maid for the Brimfield's new downtown district—came on a unique jet-propelled minibike which she uses for making collections. Elizabeth, would you like to say anything to the listeners at home? Howdy! Thank you. Vicki Ward looks very trim and proper as director of the Salvation Army Band, (when not directing she plays the bass drum). Miss Ward is one of the many graduates of '68 who has kept her high ideals and standards. Brimfield can be proud tonight. It looks like there is only one more member of the Class of '68, John West. John, as the organizer of the new Southern Confederates, actually risks his like coming here tonight. Yes, one can say that West is the South's greatest leader, and the South is West's cause. This is Micky Bitsko saying--remember that wonderful year nineteen hundred sixty-eight. Little did the youth of that year realize how powerful they would become and what heavy responsibilities they would have to carry----------- Youth of today, take heed! VICKI WARD Vicki Her face is never glum. She is always ready for fun. G.A.A. 1,2,3,4, Treasurer 1; POW WOW 1,2,3,4, Asst. Production Manager 4; Chorus 1,2; Cheerleading Mascot 3. JOHN WEST Johnny The South shall rise again. Track 1,2.
