I saw a poster that said Russell Boyer was pitching for the Cardinals. He must be doing fine. When I got to Ellsinore, I stopped in at Joe' and Bonnie’s Cafe’. Guess who waited on me. Betty Chilton! Yes, she is married, but who did she marry? Donnie or Joe? T gathered information about all my other classmates. Sarah Boyer is a movie star. She isn’t married, but is engaged to Webb Pierce. Wanda Morgan is a housewife, and has a daughter the age of nine. William I.undry married Opal LeGrand. It must have been love at first sight. Paul Kester is a singer at “Ellsinore Nite Club.’’ He is very broken- hearted over Wanda Morgan. Mary Leach is a stenographer for Mr. Tooley Sisson. Clifton LeGrand is a bronc buster in Texas. Wilma Coleman is a singer for the “Grand Ole Opry. Freda Boxx is a writer for “True Confessions.” Well the last time anyone saw Bud Gosnell, he was walking down California Street with Billy Green. Elmond Peek is wanting to be single so his pockets will jingle. Dick Shoat is still in Ellsinore making goo-goo, eyes at the girls. Pat Lowe is giving dancing lessons at Van Buren. Charles Miller is the president of his bank. Yes, he married Gwen Gaines. They have four sets of twins. Betty Yates didn’t get Bill Bunyard, she fell in love with another man. Lilly Carter hasn’t succeeded in getting Donald Alcorn yet, she’ll succeed some day. Ronald Berry is a hula-hula dancer now. Eugene Wingo is a model. He is making wonderful pictures in Ellsinore. Virginia Eudaley is a housewife and lives in the Bluff with Don her husband. 18 Carnival Coronation BRENDA WESTBROOKS Grade Queen yes -brown Hair-dark brown Height-4' Weight-56 Escort--Francis Roam JEAN DAVIS Carnival Queen Eyes-blue Hair-light brown Height-5' 4 1 2 Weight-1J 1 Escort--Kenny Million OPAL LeGRAND Freshman Maid BETTY CHILTON Senior Maid WANHA STUCKER Sophomore Maid 19 Who’s Who at Ellsinore High Best Athlete Dick Shoat Best Dressed Eugene Wingo Most Conceited Charles Miller Friendliest Jim Gooch Biggest Breeze Pat Lowe Best All-Round Paul Kester Grouchiest Elmon Peek I.overs William Lundry Silliest Ronald Berry Best Looking Paul Kester Wittiest Ronald Berry Best Physique Jim Gooch Quietest Russell Boyer Lilly Carter Noisiest Bob Adams Hazel Bradley Laziest David Fann Georgia Morgan Cutest Albert Morlen Bud Gosnell Teachers’ Headaches Ronald Berry Bob Adams Teachers’ Pets Dick Shoat Gwen Gaine s Most Talented Paul Kester Emogene Boyer Most Intelligent Paul Kester Wanda Stucker Most Likely to Succeed Paul Kester David Ray Bennie Donaldson Emogene Boyer Wanda Stucker SEATED: C.
