And then in the year of -49 , We were planning to leave this school behind. Then we have TORGERSON who governs us most As most of you know, he's our basketball coach. He's always good for a laugh or two, But if you cross him it's heck to undo. Now we have a person who's in her prime, Even though she's over thirty-nine. She's one of the teachers of C. H, S., MRS. BUETTNER is the one if you can't guess. Out football coach was MR. REID, We called him Baldy , yes indeed. And if you were to mess up a play, OH! What terrible words he'd say. Our English teacher is JACK MELROSE, He thinks we're stupid, we wonder how he knows. He's the band director in our school, To most of us, He's no man's fool. Then in this year of 1950 , We studied hard and were very thrifty. If you didn't study, now it's too late, For this is the year we graduate. Simon and Clem want to mention their names, Maybe someday it will bring them fame. Not as President of the United States, But perhaps someday at the Pearly Gates. Now teachers, we will apologize here, For the things we've done throughout this year. Not only this year but all of them, From the Senior Class, including Clem. Here's where we change from silly to sad, We all have our faults, but we aren't all bad. Now we would like to say Good-by, To all the students of Cottonwood High. In hopes that you will take our places. Not in costumes all covered with laces, But in football suits and basketball too, We'll be on the side lines watching you. Delbert Nuxoll and Don Simon

SENIOR CLASS PROP!-IECY Good Morning! This is Bob Duclos speaking to you from Station F-I-F-T-Y. The correct time in 30 seconds will be 9:45 A.M. We present jack Melrose's jazz jamberineu, brought to you through the courtesy of the new streamlined Reid cars, new because they run a lifetime on one gas capsule. Persons living in this modern age of 1965 are lucky people because of Professor Herald Reid's famous discovery of the gas capsule. We now open out program with the old favorite of 1950 Mule Train featuring a bass solo by the one and only Miss Norma jungert who has risen to great fame under the direction of Mr. Melrose, who was her high school instructor. ------- We interrupt this program to bring you a special announcement concerning an ex- plosion of the Magnesium Experimental Laboratory in the southern part of Cottonwood whose population has greatly increased due to road construction of the new Grave- creek road from Whitebird. According to Professor Frederick Seubert the explosion was caused by faulty goods delivered earlier this morning by traveling salesman Dawn Huntley. Mr. Hunt- ley has been traveling on the Torgerson jet Air Lines and delivering goods for the past eight years. Mr. Torgerson retired from his job as Superintendent of Cottonwood High School after his purchase of the Cottonwood Air Port. Among those on the casualty list are Delbert Nuxoll, fish and game warden for the State of Idaho. He seems to be recovering as he remarked to his emergency nurse Donna jean Tacke, I surely hope those explosions don't scare my fish and animals away too far! Donna offered to give up her duties as head nurse of the Cottonwood Hospital to assist in this emergency. just to show how great the explosion was Mr. Don Spencer stated that some of the remains of the explosion flew as far as his farm one mile south of Cottonwood. Don donated the land where the laboratory formerly stood to his old friend and class- mate, Fred Seubert. Miss Mary O'Neil is suffering from shock. Miss O'Neil is secretary to head scientist at the plant. Professor Fred Seubert. Mary ran from the building just as the walls of her office collapsed behind her due to the second explosion. C-artOOI1iSt, DOH Simon is resting comfortably since the bone in his leg has been set. Don suffered from a compound fracture when a rafter flew from the brilliantly lighted area, pinning him to the ground. CDon draws for the Newsweek Magazine and
