CLASS ALPHABET Cont'd. Here we write of Marshall, who is everybody's pal She's liked by all her classmates and ls an all around good gal. McCoy has many girl friends, kept ln a far away town. We don't see how he snags 'em, but he sure does get around. McDonald drives a shiny Dodge, in which he takes great pride. He says there is no certain girl to ride in it by his side. M also gives us a Senior fellow who likes to be real mean. It's Mester we're writing of, he's a certain Jun1or's dream. Of N's this class can boast of one, and this is Donald Nobbs. Everyone wonders if he has any heart throbs. O'Dell comes next in this alphabet of ours: If given a chance he has great mental powers. Paxton's no 'lone wolfu as we all can plainly see. When Vernell's around she is as busy as a bee. Instead of schoolwork he always comes first, Without him poor Lou's heart would probably burst. We mustn't forget Penney who tells many wild tales You can't find many that aren't about males. Porter and Potter whose names are often confusedg We know of many times when they were misused. Q is for Quality, no better can be found Our class is the best, and for higher places bound R for Render who used to skip school But having been caught, he now obeys this rule Then St John who is loved by a guy called Bob We wonder if housekeeping will be her steady Job Truthful for T which we've alw ys tried to be It has been a great help in reaching this destiny In writing of Ullom, we won't take long But without him ln our midst, we might have gone wrong An essential on the team, is Urbaniak we all agree Will they win games without him? We'll have to walt and see An now here is Vought What shall we say? h, we know He was the hero of our Senior Play An up comes W of which we have four We surely are grateful we haven't any more We'll start off with Warner who has had many a love affair She goes from one to another and doesn't seem to care Her opposite is Watson who doesn't date so much, She'd rather do more profitable things like studying and such We have a pretty and witty girl who goes by the name of Joyce We wonder who will change her name from Winn to their own choice Winter ls a quiet guy and better known as Dale, We know in all the things he does, he will never fail XY and Z will end our alphabet These letters we are going to use, all in a set 2 for Xcellent, Z for Zest, Y for Youth which we all loved the best We have written of each person within our class Here's hoping we've left out neither laddle nor lass bfi.-gil! d . o ---- . d . 4 uv. 1 6 li' 'I' e eg. wx' :EJ 1 . ,XXV

Senior Prophecy Whlle ln Arabia, the last round-the-world trlp that we took, a very wlse gypsy presented us with a crystal ball. Oh yes! Now it is cloudlng up. We are wondering about the class of 1949, but everything ls still cloudy. Oh, we1l,the class was always ln a mist anyway. But walt, I think it will work. Yes! There ls a bright spot in the ball--in the form of He's really, in the carnival buslness now,rlght ln the cage of the top performers, those cute little beasts called monkeys. We knew lt would happen sooner or later. We can 't seem to move away from the carnival scene. Wonder why? Oh there's the answer. Qgggy ,Alllsgn's shyness must have disappeared because he's the huckster for the Chorus Cuties. Nlce work, lf you can get it. Now we seem to be circulating around a bit. This is really an odd scene. It looks like an operating room. Isn't that ' drawing pretty pictures for a handsome doctor? We knew she would be successful in art of some sort. But who is the patient? Why lt's Amy,Lgl1gg!l Are you finally 1 E f 51 ,. X . R1- 5-. w in -w :-I ,WZ 5 . 5:5 6 ' 6 ri ,. .1 2, getting y that head taken care of? Rather suspected you'd be in a straight Jacket by now. Pl We knew Keller would pick a handsome doctor. 2 Now the mist is appearing again. we are in a large city. Someone is doing QQ some modeling. It's Life must have gotten 'tedious' on the fsrm.iQ There is a name on the window of this modeling agency that appears to be -Dick ii ,!gQQy, He must have taken his 'corn' to the city, no demand for it in Coleman. ,A Now we are going out on Maine Street. It looks like 's small V town experience with selling fruit has helped him ln a big way. He is now head if of the U. S. Fruit Exchange, and by the way, the biggest supporter of the Night ,f Clubs here. As we gaze into the mist, a figure appears before us. Alas!! it is if R the multi-millionalress who made her fortune by her ideas on 3 stretching things to a world wide rubber band company. L Qon obbs seems to have done alright too. His name appears on the largest if of the Wall Street banks. The head cashier is none other than,Qh3gk-Hggjgg, tHe ?1 always did belong behind barsl. g 5 Now we are going in a larger section of town. An opera house comes into SQ view. The star of the nights performance ls none other than our own -Bgghggg- K -Wgjggg, As we go inside fat our own riskl we are shown to our seats by a pretty Qi strawberry blond who says her name used to be Her husband owns N' the opera house and she ls working part time as an usherette. As the time nears 1 for the opera to begin, out steps the thin, meek, little gentleman, Drlgghggg Q 233193, carrying supplies to the orchestra players. Among these we recognize if E.us9.s.9..39.naaz:. tenor ears L bass viol and piano-They 3' always did like to make a mess out of music. This scene fades from v1ew,but soon ,J another appears. We find ourselves on the green campus of Sweet Brlor College. Kd To our surprise we see as Professor of Chemistry. He informs us 55 that ls the president of a near-by reform school. Wonder if his ,t face still gets red everytime one looks at him? We also find out that J. Lggr ls the Dean of Women at Sweet Brlor. She must have changed quite a bit 5' through the years. Dgn-QLDg11,1s the publisher of the 'Wild Wooley West Pocket We Edition' books ln this same town. He did get something out of those westerns QQ after all. gi We seem to be peering into the country slde of life now. Farm life--that's I the thing. Well, there's upholding the song, 'Old McDonald had a f' Farm'. ere comes someone down the lane on a horse. did you fin- L ally take the hint and get rid of that Ford? Farther down the line someone fy seems to be working around chickens. The former I We wonder- gf ed why you saw 'The Egg and I' so many times. Someone strolling very slowly ,J around in the woods near by turns out to be . If she was an accl FQ dent going someplace to happen, there sure wouldn t be many accidents. Life on Eg the farm ls pretty popular among our old classmates is running a is turkey farm. Say El, do you have to shoot turkeys when they fall and break a Q1 leg? That means 'Turkey Every Sunday!. is in the scene too, as per WW usual, working mathematlc problems. he is counting all the turkey legs and dl- if viding by two to see how many turkeys there are. Leave lt up to him to flndthe Qi hardest way around a problem. ye Down the road and into another city we whirl. A hospital comes into view. 5. Head nurse is J We somehow thought she'd get into a eanitarium ,g but not as a nurse. n this same hospital is head of the E Cooking Department. KAnd they expect the patient to get better, too.7 gf Now we see three images appearing. One is strumming a guitar and all threegf are singing. Why 1t's the Three C's and their Hillbilly Hit- arade. - 1 JN L and The master of Ceremonies is and E sponsoring the program ls CThat sure must be some program . ,' We see a sign telling of the coming appearance of the basketball players, Ei , ,. .
