He is very popular with all the members of the student body and the faculty as he is very likable and easy to work with. This year Mr. Hunsaker has done a praiseworthy job of upholding the office of City Superintendent. Although new here, he has won the respect of every one who knows him. We hope to see more of him in future years. ERNEST R. JAMES THORA WATSON English PAUL A. SNIDER Industrial Arts ENOCH JUNGLING Basketball Coast General Science MADELINE R. MORGAN Girls’ P. E.

H. BILLINGS Representative Chapter I The Class of ’48, a crew of 95, set out on the Coquille High Raft of Learning, September 3, 1944. with Edna Montgomery at the helm. The object of their voyage was to secure, in four years’ time, the sixteen pearls required by Cntractor E. R. James. The officers chosen to guide the raft for the first year were President, Neil Haga; Vice-President, Preston Willis; Secretary, Dorothy Williams; Representative, Clinton Peart; and Inter-Class Rivalry Chairman, Betty Preussler. The poor mariners struggled hard to keep their heads above the troubled waters of the Coquille River. For a few weeks the crew was terrorized by Junior Sharks and Senior Whales. It was not long, however, before the timid seafarers began to show the old “Coquille Fight.” September 25, the Sophomore crew of the C. H. S. Steamer gave them a shuffle on board the raft. In mid-winter they experienced their first tornado in the form of exams; some became weary and seasick and returned to land, while others became indolent and were retai led in the flunker’s section where they were required to perform such menial tasks as scrubbing logs and rechanging the polished oyster shells. Neither quantity nor quality was lacking in this valiant crew. The mariners had proved their courage in more than one gale and had won first place in interclass rivalry ahead of the sharks and whales. Chapter II In the fall of 1945 the mariners were transferred from the raft to the Coquille Boat of Knowledge. The original number was already much smaller; in fact, 25 of the crew left the ship thinking the great reward too far beyond their reach. Realizing that the journey ahead of them would be long and hard, they chose seafaring Jacob Moomaw as their pilot, Clifford Billings as Captain, George Domenighini as first mate, Betty Preussler as second mate, and Jim Bellmore as galley boy. On September 21 the tars gave a fling for the Freshmen Minnows. This was their only diversion on the entire trip as the seas were wild and rough. Each time they rose to some gallant occasion they were buffeted on all sides like chaff in the wind. They were, indeed, glad when they again sailed into the harbor and put down anchor. Chapter III With more connfidence than during the last two voyages, the crew picked up anchor once more on the “Brig of More Knowledge” for another adventure with Idyle Godard, this time, at the helm. The captain for this voyage was Preston Willis; with Neil Haga, first mate; Joanne Savage, second mate; Richard Parrish, steward; and Dorothy Williams, galley girl. The seas were calm and serene; the mariners found time to play as well as to work. On November 21, a delightful comedy, “The Sunshine Twins,” was presented and proved to be a big success. On December 13, the Junior Brig sighted “Candy Land,” a place of make-believe where story-book characters and ice cream mountains, cotton candy and gum drop trees were a beautiful sight to behold. Anchor was dropped once more, and, needless to say, the Freshmen Minnows, the Sophomore Flounders, and the Senior Whales all swam to this gala occasion to participate in one of the season’s most delightful affairs. On May the eighth, the Junior Sharks went overboard with a high banquet in the Senior Whales’ honor. Later, the brig was turned into a showboat for the Junior Class assembly. The audience was greatly impressed by the versatile performers. The Brig sailed into Lakeside on May 15 for their annual picnic which terminated the events of the year for the Junior Sharks. Chapter IV The mariners again set sail in the fall of 1947. This time they had a double purpose—to gain the largest and best pearls for their collection, and attempt to set a high standard for the ones to follow in their footsteps. The officers chosen for the “All Wise” schooner were Thora Watson, pilot; Chuck Hanna, captain; Don Pierce, first mate; Neil Haga, second mate; Betty Preussler, stewardess; and Cliff Billings, galley boy. The Senior Whales also chose as their motto “What we are to be we are becoming.” They chose the rose as their class flower and melon and brown as their class colors. They were the “Senior Whales” at last; they felt safe in introducing themselves as high and mighty personages. Their goal was in sight and could be reached. More of the crew had attained recognition. Officers chosen for the student body from the Senior Class were Preston Willis, President; Richard Parrish, Vice-President; Carol Gray, Secretary; Sally Bonney, Treasurer; and Bob Kuenzli, Business Manager. The “Hi Times” editor for the year was Carol Gray; “Laurel editor, Sally Bonney; and Girls’ League President, Joanne Savage. The D. A. R. Award was granted to Betty Preussler and the Pepsi Cola candidates were Joanne Savage, Betty Preussler, Julius Jepson, and Chuck Hanna. The Band Major for the year was Rose Marie Peart, while Janice Lafferty was President of the Camera Club. In the world of sports, the following names are prominent: in football—Don Pierce, Richard Parrish, Shirley Laird, Sam Miller, and Jay Clayton, and in basketball— Jim Bellmore, Don Pierce, and Bob Sell. On November 21 the Seniors entertained Contractor and builders and other ship crews with a play entitled “Junior Miss.” This was a great success. On December 16 they gave a ball, “Ocean Fantasy,” the first of its kind and one of the highlights of the year. For this ball the Senior Whales enlisted the aid of all sea life to make their decorations more beautiful than any before. Having secured the required number of pearls during their four years of hard labor, the Seniors took leave of the Contractor and builders and again put to sea. Home looked good to the weary voyagers, and it was with regret, as well as hope, that 64 of the mariners received diplomas from the C. H. S. Naval Academy and boarded the phantom “Ship of Life” for their last and longest voyage. 9 SENIOR CLASS Of 194§ PHILIP BARRETTE Special Athletics, Tennis -I, School Maintenance 4.

Suddenly there is a puttering sound and she finds herself gliding down to a little cleared space, high in the Tibetian Mountains. Climbing out she is greeted by a strange looking man dressed in a long flowing robe with sandals on his feet and a gay colored turban perched on his head. His flowing beard nearly reaches the ground. Greetings,” Mrs. Watson,” he says. “Come, I’ve been expecting you.” Surprised she asks how he knew that she was coming. He replied, “This is the country without a name and I am Tozobonny. I know that you are interested in knowing what has happened to your class of 1943.” She smiles now and says, “Yes, I always did wonder what would happen to that class.” “I will be glad to tell you,” he offers. “Please sit down and share my fire. My servants will attend to your plane.” With these gentle words he begins— Byron Cotter is living the life of Riley as he is Hollywood’s newest romantic discovery. Even Clark Gable has taken a back seat. His leading lady turned out to be none other than Phyllis George who is appearing under the name of “Allura Ball.” 16 Carol Gray has become the world’s champion bubble gum chewer. At present she is on an international lecturing tour, lecturing on “The How and Why of Bubble Blowing.” I always knew Carol would be a success. Darrell Crossler is now retired and is living in a huge mansion on Parke Avenue. His source of income is from his best seller novel, “The Romantic Moments in My Life.” Dorothy Williams, who has always loved horses, is a trick bare-back rider of a big traveling rodeo. She has broken her other arm, two of her legs, and her collar bone, but she is so good her boss won’t let her quit. Cliff Billings has just entered the Portland Hot Rod Club with his hopped up Ford—well, well, he just came in first. Ed Corkwell just inherited his father’s old dilapidated, broken down, tiny 1948 Buick. He’s been wanting it for years. Jay Clayton, football star of his Senior days, is now playing professional football at Madison Square Gardens ior “Spike.” Melvin Borgard’s ambitions have been fulfilled—his paintings of “Coquille During The Floods,” are hanging in the British Art Museums. He is the toast of London for his prize-winning masterpieces. Vernon Brockmann is now sole owner of a high class dude ranch in Texas. It is advertised as the only place in the country where the horses guarantee to buck you oif on sandy places. Sally Bonney was playing at Earl Carroll’s in Hollywood, featuring her famous “Bubble Boogie Dance.” She had to quit because somebody was always bursting her bubbles. Jim Bellmore is the Physical Education teacher in the Girls’ Reformatory of Coquille, Oregon. This has been Jim’s ambition since he was a little boy. Chuck Hanna, who always was the executive type, is taking over as Mayor of Norway. He had a glorious campaign, kissing all the babies (any female between 10 and 60) and promising a new airplane to every family. Roger Williamson has given up his job as a street cleaner on the complaint that someone was throwing bubble gum wrappers behind him and ruining his beautiful clean streets. Doris Willard, now Mrs. Jack Giffen, is famous for winning the circus contest for throwing a rolling pin further than has yet been known. Jack is touring the country as the 100-yard dash champion. Lue Lindsay, modeling strapless evening gowns for a living, is constantly sick with pneumonia. Will she never learn? Bonnie Zwicker still can’t make up her mind who she wants. Jim, Bob, or someone from Myrtle Point. She’d better hurry and make up her mind, before she gets too old. Dorothy Wersh’s ambition to marry a millionaire has been fulfilled. All she has to do is push a button and a different set of maids appear. Quite an ambition. Careen Molthu has become a big-time career girl with a penthouse and everything. Careen’s success came from her perfume manufacturing plant of the Myrtlewood odor. She guarantees that her Myrtlewood Magic perfume will subdue any man in 24 hours. Betty Preussler is still taking scholarship tests. So far, she has Ph. D., B. A., D. D., and D. U. Z. degrees, but she still can’t pass high school algebra. Tiny Pressley is over in Australia charming the Aus-sies with her cute li’l ole’ southern accent. She started to get married once but decided it was more fun to charm all the men. Vernon Epps, senator from Missouri, has just introduced a new bill to congress asking permission to move the Mississippi River, as it overflows every year on his plantation. Alene Hunt, the great teacher, is lobbying in Congress again. This time she wants Congress to appropriate a fund for care of teachers who have broken under the strain. Grace Taylor is working in a Physics Lab. (On the atom bomb?) Well, that’s close. She is developing a new bomb milkshake for Brandon’s. One of the most famous of the members of the class is Leatha Troudt, the second Lana Turner. She has just finished her last picture, “The Milkman Never Rings Thrice.” Up in Washington, D. C., is a very important little lady, Betty Sell. She is head of the R.F.U.C.U.S., Relief for Underprivileged Cats of the United States. Jim Oden, professor of mathematics at the New Coquille College, has finally mathematically worked out a way in which he can beat Mrs. Beyers at making jokes. Alice Parry has finally received the job she has been working for so many years------secretary to the President of the United States, Richard Parrish. Coralee Miller is the Dean of Women at Coquille University, where her favorite student is Pat Malone, still working for her teacher’s diploma. Cecil Miller studied to be a missionary and now is trying to convert the natives of Coquille. Marion Moore was awarded the “Woman of the Year” plague from the W.D.A.R.G., which means “Women Drivers are Really Good.” This was for running down the most pedestrians. Bob Kuenzli, who is teaching ABC’s to the Japanese, seems to have a headache. Slick-Chick Johnson, in other words, Janet Johnson, is perched on his knee and tries to smooth it away. Lenore Wornstaff is having a big time in Panama where she moved with her parents right after she graduated from school. She is helping the officials operate the Panama Canal.

Yes, of course, - - -the Junior Prom! That was a hard working time and, incidentally, a lot of fun for the decoration committee. The theme was “Merrie Yuletide,” featuring a huge painted window in one end of the auditorium, through which one could look upon a winter scene, showing a carriage and horses entering an old English village. It was truly a masterpiece by our class artists. Under the able supervision of the class adviser, Mrs. Godard, it proved to be a huge success. Cur class officers were President, Bob Geaney; Vice-President, Joe Sayre; Secretary, Beverly Davis; Representative, Jim Clark. Throughout the entire year we were well represented in the sports field. Our top athletic stars were Claire Howell, Art Richardson, Ray Gilkey, Bud Buckles, Bob Geaney, Tom Mullin, Jm Clark, Dean Wolgamott, Bill Owen and Keith Johnson. Another way our class shone in sports was in having two of the three cheer leaders juniors. They were Judy Slack and Jcyce Taylor. This spring the juniors presented their class play, “There’ll Come A Day.” Miss Plummer ably directed the talented group and a very creditable play was presented. The Junicr-Senior Banquet was another outstanding event of the year. It was held May 6, 1948, at the Junior Auditorium and was followed by a formal dance. 20 SI Ml I Kathleen Drockmunn Anderson .Merle Anderson Eldon Chowning Chuck Hillings Faye Borgard Winifred Dodge Beverly Davis s Farmer Virgin la Corrie Ella Danielson Crissa Gwillim Mary Gauntlett Bob Geaney June Jensen Keith Warren Johnson Eneille llaga Mary Helm 21 Randall Johnson Irene Kilpatrick Lavetta I� nberg: Karleen Mattson Mary Miller JoAnn Mlntonye Elsie Preussler Nancy Price Elza Randolph Wilbert Reed Lorraine Relninger Art K chardson Roscoe Riddle I.illiebelle Robinson Dean Russell Joe Sayre I’at Shaw Walter Shutt Judy Slack ('.eorxene Smith Jeanette Stone Clara Stonecypher Joyce Taylor Lotus Thompson Wayne Timmons Bryce Tracy Bob Weeks Dean Wolgamott 22 SCPUCMCCE CLASS LISTCLy The sophomore class, having struggled through the freshman year with the minimum amount of wear and tear on the teachers, is now in its second year of school at Coquille High. Last year, as freshmen, they had many members in football, basketball, band, chorus, Camera Club, and Hi-Times staff. The boys on the football team were Jim Kay, Buzzy Oerding, Gene Schrag, Wayne Morgan, John Eilertson, Ben McKay and Donald Mulkey. Those cn the B squad basketball team were Donald Cochran, Jim Kay, Bill Melton, Jack Sisk, Joe Berg, Buzzy Oerding, Gene Shrag, Max Clausen, Donald Molthu, Jim Jenkins, and John Eilertson. Now as they look back and remember how they decorated for baccalaureate and to the many activities in which they performed, they realize that as freshmen, they had a busy year. This year, as sophomores, they started the year by election of officers who were as follows: President - Donald Cochran Vice-President - Bill Melton The boys winning their letters were Jim Kay and Buzzy Oerding. Every year it falls upon the shoulders of the sophomores to give a dance and initiation to the freshmen. This year the sophomores started to initiate the freshmen two days before the dance and then had the big ordeal that night, at the dance. Everyone had a good time, including the freshmen. Secretary Representative Patsy Neely Max Clausen This class has started off with flying colors and we hope it will continue to go through high school with high honors. 23 fCESHMAN CLASS LISTCCr The freshman class, under the guidance of Mr. Pearson, has shown much enthusiasm in the way of class activities and school spirit. The class chose as their leaders as follows: President ------ Gay Cedarquist Vice-President ----- Bobby Pingleton Secretary ------ Carolann Creager Freshman Representative - Dian Buell The class was represented in football by Jim Mullen, Keith Parry, Larry Wilson, Charles Davis, Bob Abell, Rodney Noah, Ronald Armstrong, Jim Brewster, Myles Bonnel and Gerard Jeub.

The class was represented in band by the following students: Saxophones: Sandra McCurdy, Joree Libby and Donna Mast. Baritones: Stanley Stewart and Bobby Pingleton. Clarinet: Lulubelle Seidel. Coronet: Charles Davis. The freshmen took part in a dance which was given for their benefit by the sophomores. They had a very good time. The class had a number of students on the honor roll. The freshmen are looking forward with interest to three more years at Coquille High now that they have completed their first year. 24 FOOTBALLSCOAO On the third day of September, 1947, school started in a peaceful little valley called Coquille. With the starting of school, football got under way, and with football we now travel to the locker room to get the details of our gridiron finish. First off, as we look back over the past season, we see that we started with a very green team; but as the season progressed, they developed into a very hard-driving eleven. Those who worked onto the eleven were as follows: Left End - Ray Gilkey Left Tackle - Clair Howell Left Guard - - - Don Emrick Center ... - Bill Owen Right Guard ... Tom Mullin Right Tackle ... Sam Miller Right End - - - “Buzz” Oerding Quarterback ... Bob Geaney Right Half - Ron Morgan Left Half ... Rich Parrish Fullback - Don Pierce The team chalked up a great deal of yardage on the ground and in the air and looked very good defensively.

Three of these men—Parrish, Farmer and Bellmore—went to the district track meet last year. Up to this date of publication we have had two meets. The first was with all four county schools—Marshfield, North Bend, Myrtle Point, and Coquille—in which Coquille came in second. The second meet was a dual with North Ben i in which we took first place. Those who won first places for Coquille were Don Pierce, Jim Bellmore, Rich Parrish, Dallas Farmer, Mel Borgard, Bill Melton, Jim Mullin, Art Richardson, Bill Martindale. 28 INTCA-MIPALSPCETS In both volleyball and in basketball the seniors came out on top again this year. As freshmen, sophomores, and juniors this class of “48” has had one of the best all around teams with many first places. The players were Darrell Crossler, Preston Willis, Cliff Billings, Rich Parrish, Don Pierce, and Roger Williamson. The juniors had a very tough time in basketball this year, but packed punch in the volleyball games coming out with third place. They were closely matched to the seniors and should have good teams next year. The sophomores had a tough team in volleyball, but lacked pep in the basketball games, coming out third in basketball. There was a lot of fight in their team, but they couldn’t come through with the winning score. The poor little freshmen hardly knew what it was all about due to inexperience and a lot of kidding from the side lines, but look out next year, you upper classmen! They’ve caught on how it’s done—-how to win, that is. ,Yo ,t-'3 -« Wh t the Flnod doesn't in raETr +i. o ie.4i.ve. of 30 Organiza tions I 1 !

Belonging to the Order of the C is looked forward to by all boys of Coquille High. They can belong only by earning their letter in football, basketball, or track. The Order of the C schedules a dance and several parties for their program each year. Under the able leadership of their president, Richard Parrish, and the guidance of the adviser, Mr. Enoch Jungling, the members have done a swell job in promoting good sportsmanship among the students.

Only seniors whose record in both scholarship and citizenship is satisfactory are eligible to be Pepsters; if they meet these requirements, they must win by popular vote of the student body. Those elected for the 1947-48 term were Darleen Crossler, Barbara Barton, Sally Bonney, Marion Moore, Carol Gray, Leatha Troudt and Dorothy Williams. During the football season the girls were attractive in white, pleated all-around skirts, red and white warm-up jackets, and red and white saddle shoes. Basketball time saw them gay in white pleated skirts with pull-over V-neck sweaters, each girl with her own name in script on the front and 'P E P” on the back. Any student in satisfactory standing may try out for yell leader; they also are elected by popular vote of the student body. This year’s winners were Joyce Taylor, Judy Slack, and Darleen Crossler. The girls wore red coulattes with white pull-over sweaters, and Darrell wore white trousers with a red sweater. They did a fine job not only revising old yells but also presenting several new ones. Both Pepsters and yell leaders spent a great deal of time after school practicing to perfect steps, and routines and yells. All of the home games and most of the out-to-town games found this colorful, peppy group present to cheer the team on. Miss Madeline Morgan, the adviser, accompanied the group on all trips and contributed much in the way of suggestion and inspiration. 32 GIRLS’ LEAGLE The Girls’ League this year, under the guidance of the adviser, Mrs. Harvey Slade, has been very successful with their project in connection with the C.A.R.E., Co-operative for American Remittances to Europe. They have helped the school children in Europe by sending four $10 packages overseas. This group, consisting of all high school girls, has raised money by selling hot dogs and cokes at basketball games. The Mother’s Day Tea, sponsored by the Girls’ League each year, was exceptionally outstanding. The officers, which were chosen by popular vote, for the first and second term are as follows: President -Vice President -Secretary -Treasurer -Program Chairman Asst.

They started the year with nine members and since then eighteen new members have joined. The outstanding member, as chosen by the officers, was Bonnie Swicker. Bonnie has done some very exceptional work this year. The Camera Club has been very fortunate in obtaining additional equipment for their dark room. They have bought a new drier, three large ferrotype plates, a printer, a print washer, and two flood lights. The officers are President - - Janice Lafferty Vice-President Karlene Mattson Sec.-Treas. - Clara Stonecypher m -y The Coquille Hi-Y Club under the direction of Don Pearson has been one of the most progressive clubs of the school. The purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and expand, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. The club was organized at the first of this year and has 15 n embers. Among the activities that Hi-Y has taken part in for the year have been helping with the parking problems at athletic contests, entertaining visiting players and coaches, serving refreshments at games, and participating in the Hi-Y Youth and Government Program at at Salem. Hi-tf looks forward to next year as a year of opportunity iOr serving the student body and the school in a great capacity than has yet been realized. 34 GENERAL MECHANICS The general mechanics class, under the supervision of Mr. Snider, consists of senior boys who have had pre-requisite courses in mechanical drawing and woodworking. In the first semester of their second year they are organized into production groups to take care of urgent and necessary jobs around the school. This group also does the stage-craft work for the junior and senior plays, and this year has built a complete new set of flats. Some of the job completed this year were as follows: Field benches for the football players A tackling dummy standard New cabinet and drawers for the typing room A new storage cabinet for the science lab Two portable cabinets for movie projectors A new mail box compartment for the office Music stands for the Washington School Bulletin boards and blackboards Miscellaneous jobs for the improvement of the school These boys merit the gratitude of the entire student body and faculty for their tireless efforts in behalf of the school. They had the drive and the “know how” and they did it. Good work boys! ! ! 35 CCOIJII LE HIGH SCHOOL BANE) Coquille High School Band, under the leadership of Mr. Carroll Nickels, has been a decided asset this year. There are forty members in the band and they have faithfully taken part in playing for football and basketball games, pep assemblies and other programs. The band, led by its drum major, Rose Marie Peart, and two majorettes, Joan Peart and Carolann Creager, prepared several difficult marches for football games but were rained out each time. The band journeyed to Coos Bay, April 9 and 10, to take part in the Southwestern Oregon Music Competition Festival. They accompanied the chorus in several of their numbers at the Christmas program and presented their annual spring concert which was enjoyed by all. An oboe and two French horns were added to the band this year. M UCCETTEI Major Rose Marie Peart 36 Majorettes Carolann Creager and Joan Peart TEE GLEE GLEE The Girls’ Glee Club this year was under the capable direction of Miss Vivian Plummer. Sixty-three, an exceptionally large membership, enrolled this year. One of their most unusual performances was the Christmas program and in several selections they joined with the band. One of the outstanding numbers was “ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Other places in which they appeared were the Spring Concert and the Baccalaureate Service. They took part in the annual Music Festival which was held at Coos Bay, April 9 and 10. 37 CLARINETS SAXCLLCNES Three new ensemble units were organized during the year, formed of personnel selected from the regular band members. These units were a clarinet quartet, saxophone quartet, and brass sextette. Members were JoAnn Mintonye, Lois Duncan. Clara Stonecypher, and Bob Ward in the clarinet quartet; Patty Shaw, Sandra McCurdy, Donna Mast and Eldon Chown-ing in the saxophone quartet; Chuck Hanna, Clint Peart, Bill Vogt, Colleen Chowning, John Knight, and Bob Pingleton in the brass sextette.

The plot revolved around Judy Graves and her bosom friend, Fuffy Adams. These innocent little trouble makers had a knack for messing up everyone’s lives to the distress of Judy’s parents, Harry and Grace Graves. Judy, believing her father to be in love with the boss’s daughter, Ellen Curtis, plots the romance between Grace’s brother, Willis, and Ellen. When the couple do fall in love, the boss, Mr. Curtis, is very unhappy and fires Harry. As in most plays the ending was a happy one in spite of Judy’s slanderous remarks about Lois’s many, many boy friends. Harry Graves Joe - Grace Graves Hilda Lois Graves Judy Graves Fuffy Adams J. B.

The Keltons live in an upstairs apartment, which is not up to city sanitation requirements, resulting in trouble with the inspectors.

Some of her most famous oddities are “LuLayla,” the dancing girl from India. Closed observation reveals that she is none other than Rose Marie Peart. Jean Boots and Neil Haga are living very simply and contentedly on their turnip farm in the Ozzarks. Once a month they go on a big rampage and tear into town on their hroses, shooting and yelling like mad. Everyone hurries to get out of the street and they have the whole town to themselves for a day. Daisy Hill Mallory is now the mayor of Bandon. She seems to enjoy the social life. Why shouldn’t she? After, her council is made up of Roy and Daisy Jrs. Julius Jepson is broadcasting over the great Mutual Broadcasting system of KOOS. He is trying to find out what happened to John’s other wife. Who should be his engineer, that seems to be enjoying it so much, but Janice Lafferty. Professor George Domenighini, trying to quench his thirst for history, is now taking Mr. Moomaw’s place teaching American History and Social Economics in good old Coquille High School. George was always Mr. Moomaw’s favorite student. Darleen Crossler, Fashion model, is bringing the “Old Look” back into style. The Old Look is skirt six inches above the knees. Yeah, that’s Darleen! Bob Sell is running around with his little toy hammer and his little toy saw. He is the head of a big carpenter outfit, building newer, better, and smaller doll houses. Susan Wasson is singing coommercials for KOOS, a big radio network. In her spare time she is still trying to catch up with the Big Green Buick. We still don’t know whether it’s the driver or the car she’s interested in. “Cracker” Shirley Laird owns a fleet of fishing boats off the coast of Alcatraz. He’s in the shrimp fishing business. The biggest shrimp he caught turned out to be George Litzenberger. George must have been trying to escape from prison. Tozobonny’s quiet voice stopped as the last person of the class is told about. It is early morning and Mrs. Watson gazes transfixed into the fire, which has burned very low. She murmurs very softly, so soft, in fact, that we can hardly hear her. “I’ve wondered about that class so many times. It’s nice to know that each one is making a success of his undertakings.” She smiled again remembering, and then a thought seems to strike her suddenly. “But what happened to Preston Willis—I can’t recall your saying anything about him. Where is he?” A sly smile steals over Tozobonny’s face. Why, Mrs. Watson, do you mean to say you haven’t recognized who I am yet?” She replies, “No, I can’t say that I have.” Tozobonny says, “I am Preston Willis. I found this spot years ago and it seemed so peaceful here that my wife and I decided to live here forever. I learned the secret of telling the past and foretelling the future from some of the priests wrho live here. We’re very happy, and you are the first person I’ve seen from the civilized world since we came.” Mrs. Watson says, “I see, but you said you and your wife! I didn’t know you had married!” “Oh yes, I’ll call her. Barbara! Barbara! Come out here, will you?” Mrs. Watson exclaims, “Barbara, Barbara Barton, Well, I should have guessed!” Then as she glances at her watch she says, “Goodness, I must be on my way. I see my plane is repaired. My visit with you has been very, very pleasant!” She climbs into her plane and zooms off into the sky —but we hear her exclaim as she flies out of sight, “Good luck to you all and remember—Consult Webster!!” A A 50
