no . :F 11 3 Y it I 7 x.'. N .2 I LORD-REID-and-GATES, Inc. , staff of capable fyes, capable of kill- ing your petsj veternarians of Florida, are now open for business. Get rid of your pets today! I. . . David Padgett is now an up and coming fruit inspector for the Citrus Commission. . . As I pass the bus terminal I see Barbara Woolf boarding a bus, but after a moment's hesitation she gets off. After she had done this several times I resorted to ask- ing the reason for her peculiar actions. She replied, I just can't make up my mind about going to Korea! When I left she was still puzzled over the question. Has anyone seen her around lately? While visiting with a psychologist friend one day in his office I happened to see two of my classmates in his office, Gracie Padgett and Vera Connell. I knew that I had come to give him the regards of my family, but I began to wonder why they were there. They had sound minds in high school fl thoughtj, but it is VERY POSSIBLE that that they could have gone batty since their graduation. They kept rushing around the room and I thought that they were really in serious condition. My fear was fina11yRELIEVEDwhen my doctor friend in- troduced them as his nurses. I was so happy that my assumptions were wrong, but from that day on I have never had any hope for my doctor friend, as would be my opinion of anyone who would hire those two! I UP! UP! and AWAY. . . no, not Superman, but Ioan Richey and Faith Driggers, airline hostesses for the National Airways. . . and can you guess who is piloting this plane that carries two of our dearly-loved classmates into the Wild Blue Yonder??

Cattleman, Eugene Hamilton, has just bought a ranch in South Texas and intends to settle down and become a real cowboy. . . I. C. Myles is now a crackerjack machinist and has a shop of his own somewhere in the north. Well, I'll be leaving you now with the pleasant memories of your dear classmates of 1952 and of your good ole' school days. X. x 14 4 aa f .yi x QM 9 Vg

CLASS HISTORY 1 As we go to face a new world tomorrow, we take with us the memories of the wonderful times that we have experienced during our school days. The greatest day was way back in '40 when we walked tirnidly, almost in tears, up the steps of the grammar school building to be greeted by Mrs. Parker. Little Pinkie Reid had a pocket full of brother's and sister's report cards. . . for he contended that without them he couldn't enter school. The second grade challenged our ability to spell. . . twenty-five words a week! In the fourth grade, we wanted to sing Don't Fence Me ln every fifteen minutes of the day. . . that song expressed our sentiments perfectly. We became more serious- minded in the fifth grade, we elected class officers for the first time. Our class roll was enlarged when the seventh graders from Center Hill joined us. At last. . . our first year in high school! What a hilarious time we had when the girls wore their hair in pigtails and the boys donned knee-length trousers for the Kid Party given in honor of the Seniors by the Freshmen. Mrs. Davidson, our sponsor, was a darling in her red and white stripped pinafore. Our Sophomore year, guided by Mr. Witt, found us enjoying many parties. . . the most memorable was the beach party as Sanlando Springs. A most delightful evening was enjoyed by the girls who served at the Ir. -Sr. Banquet. Our Junior Year. . . Need we say anymore! I I Class rings, play, Goodbye, Hollywood directed by Mrs. Gainesg a special column in 'The Gatorzette' written by Gail Minton: Educational Guidance programs by Mr. Boardg and last but not least, our Ir. -Sr. Banquet, 'Hawaiian Paradise.
