Standing: Nevada Walker, Loretta Jesch. Laura Lue Johnson, Jackie Ferguson, Victoria Achurra. Sitting: Ray Swindlehurst. Billy Marsh. ANNUAL STAFF What with Red Cross and USO and a dozen and one other charities to support, we felt Fallon merchants couldn't aEord ads in the annual this year, so we students are footing all the bills. Bill Marsh has figured out a way for us to come out on top, too. The student body has backed us to the man by signing up for a total of three hundred copies of our book. We've tried to put into our abbreviated war-time book those pictures and write-ups that will mean most to you ten years from now. Mrs. Foster has given us her time and many of her limited supply of films. From Nevada Engravers Mr. Lane has sent us excellent cuts. Without Claude Smith at The Standard oflice We know We'd never get over the first dummy. And while we're handing out citations we thank Tom Weaver and Bill Longwill for the sports copy they've turned in. We hope you like the book.

Q0 we try to be reasonable and overlook and forgive them for being cranky. Right in there pitching with the faculty is the school board. Frank Scholz, Don Chapman and Waldo Davis are as interested in the athletic deficit as they are in the new roof scheduled for the high school. Board members and fac- ulty alike turn out one hundred per cent for our football games and school functions. They come, we know not from a sense of duty, but because they're interested in the school. That's why they're doing such a good job, we think.

We now have to take life with all its seriousness we can spare. Besides driving the majority of the faculty almost crazy '.'.'ith our childish pranks, and ditching away some of our val- uable school hours, we did get down to business and accom- plish some worth-while things. We've had some experience we can look back upon and exclaim, Those were the good old days, and wonder if a certain teacher has found out yet who it was who really did roll the marbles down the study hall. Of course there's always been a senior cut day - one day when we can forget our many worries and eat and be merry in some scheduled spot far from school. Towards the end of the school year comes the big dinner and dance held just for us. This year's was special, and we all had a wonderful time. ' We're going to be a proud bunch graduation night. For the first time, we're giving our graduation exercises without an outside speaker. We rushed around to get the program organized so we can march up on the stage in our caps and gowns. On slightly wobbly knees we'll go one by one to get our diplomas. We'll miss our classmates who have already Joined the armed forces and send them our congratulations.
