Moopy, Jr., whose friendly euidance and leadership have meant much to the School of Champions. IN MEMORIAM In memory of JoAN Hrnricus, whose death last winter was such a great loss to our class—Joan, an honor student, editor-in- chief of the Saca, and a recognized leader in all activities, will be remembered always by every boy and girl in the class as one who would have gone far in this world had she lived. ( : : p ; Druid Hills High School, May 138, 1949. Dear Fellow-Students: Well, here it is, your 1949 Saga. We hope you’ll like it and be proud of it—so proud that when you get old and grey you will show it to your grandchildren and say “That’s the way we did things back in 749.” Your high school days are the happiest you’ll ever know; that’s why we’ve tried to preserve some of the happier moments in your annual. We don’t want you to ever forget blue jean day, or those football games at Tucker, or the clubs you belonged to. We want you to remember these things always and keep them close to your heart along with Druid Hills High School. Your friends, The Saca Staff. acl Mr. ArTHUR ARMSTRONG Miss Patricia Boyce Mrs. Mary Batpwin Mrs. SELMA CaTE Physical Education Arts and Crafts English Glee Club Coach Boys’ and Guls’ Biology Journalism Band Baske tball, Track Coach Girls’ Baske thall Mr. Haypen C.

The Druid Hills track team of 1947-48 fur- nished the first state championship team for any sport in the school’s history. The Devils sent several men to the State meet in Macon. However, only three men, one competing in two events, got through the qualifying rounds. These three men took three firsts and a tie for first, 27 out of a possible 28 points, in the finals. They were: Barney Barret, pole vault and low hurdles; Frank Albertson, mile; and Bill Fee, tie for first in the high jump. Albertson is back, as are several other prom- ising men; so we hope to send some contestants to Macon again this year. SWIMMING Swimming at Druid Hills has maintained its prominence entirely through the efforts of a tall, blond junior girl, Mary Link. Mary, who is only 15 follows in the footsteps of Dent Richards, who went to the American Olympic finals last year while only 16. Dent graduated from Druid Hills in May of 1948. Mary may well surpass Dent’s records for she already holds five National A.A.U. Junior titles. ATHLETIC COUNCIL First row, left to right: Sam Frank, Charlotte Moran, Bob Efurd, David Burke.

FOOTBALL After dropping a tough opener to Chamblee and an even tougher one to Lithonia in the second contest, the Devil Six breezed through six straight opponents without a scare. The boys in blue from Chamblee had just a little too much passing attack and just a lit- tle too much backfield (namely Seamon). The score at the end of a good game was Chamblee 26, Druid Hills 13. In the closest contest of the year, we lost a heart-breaker to Lithonia, 24 to 19. Lithonia, oft beaten during the season, simply had a good night at the expense of Druid Hills. The Conyers game was played in the after- noon and saw the Devils score at will in a 54-26 triumph. Due to an injury to Gosney, Coach Muse moved Captain Wylie Gaulden from end to the backfield. The shift paid off as the Hillers won all of their remaining games. Tucker held us to only a 16-point victory, 46-30. Clarkston, who was supposed to have the number two team in the league, was held scoreless and was finally defeated, 25 to 0. Our boys ran over, around and through Avondale, 50 to 18..A week later the Red and Black pounded Southwest DeKalb to a tune of 59 to 12, a mere 47 points difference in the scores. The near-perfect season came to a close with a clubbing handed to Stone Mountain, 54 to 20.

Right: GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The girls’ ’48-’49 basketball team enjoyed a season which was perhaps the most success- ful at Druid Hills since ’43-’44. Under the direction of Coach Armstrong, the girls started practice early in the year and even when the first games were played, they showed promise of a good season, The loss of the last year’s first strmg was quite a blow to the team, but nevertheless the remaining girls maintained a high average of winning games. From the ’48-’49 varsity of eighteen girls only four are to graduate, and only one of these is first string. This advantage should leave the team in excellent condition, and th e Fifth District next year. Christensen, manager. Shatteen Taylor, manager. Center: Mr. A. M.

BOYS’ VARSITY BASKETBALL The ’48-’49 boys’ basketball season was a mediocre one. A seasonal record of 6 wins and 12 losses, is, to say the least, unimpressive, and when you add in the tournament record of two defeats In as Many games it becomes even worse. However, the season had some bright spots. The brightest of these came in the form of some 73 points pushed through the nets by the Devil five one night against College Park. This set an N.G.I.C. record for the most points scored by a team while playing another N.G. [.C. quintet. College Park furnished no second- rate opposition that night; in fact, two weeks later the same team knocked Druid Hills out of the Fifth District tournament in the first round. In the N.G.I.C. tournament which was held on the home court the Red and Black almost pulled the upset of the year. They battled seeded Ma rietta on more than even terms for most of the game and had a juicy seven-point lead at the end of the half. But during the third and fourth quarters, Mr. Charles Hip- sher, All-N.G.I.C. for four years running, sank shots never taken before. Marietta squeezed by the Devils 48-44 and went on to win the tournament. However, for the second straight season, the Druid Hills boys’ varsity averaged better than 40 points per game; this year a new school ree- ord was set—40.4 points per game. In the words of Coach Armstrong, “This is the best basketball team I have ever coached to win so few games.” Ss a PP SP BASKETBALL TEAM First row, left to right: Jack Burkart, Eddie Sams, Gary Huey, Larry Spielburger, Charles Murray, Mr. Langley.

Most Popular Marcarrer Fornara and JACK JACKSON Most Friendly Most Athletic FRANK ALBERTSON and Marcaret ForNaARA SARAH STANLEY and WiLEY GAULDEN REMINISCING We were assembled in the auditorium of old Druid Hills High School, this time for final practice of the graduation program. At a signal from Mrs. Cate, voices blended in the melody of our class song—the class of “49. Memories of high school days mingled with the song, and once again we were a band of noisy little freshmen. September 10, 1945, was the eventful day. We were met by an enormous swarm of upperclassmen, who plastered our faces with horrible red goo and an- noyed us constantly throughout our first week. Try- ing our best to escape, we were rescued by our home- room teachers, Mrs. E. T. O’Bell, Mrs. Lucille Me- Gehee, and Mrs. Alice Bohannon. Then it was not long until everyone calmed down and we became ac- customed to changing classes six times a day. To lead our class that year we enthusiastically chose Margaret Fornara as president, with Jack Jack- son, Lucille Richardson, and Wiley Gaulden as our other officers. When the THe SpotnticHt “Who’s Who” was pub- lished, it was learned that Margaret Fornara had been voted “Miss Freshman,” and Jack Jackson most representative boy of the class. During our first year our most important school activities were the Teen-Age Canteens and several dances, one of which was the Junior-Senior, with Mardi Gras as the decorative motif. In the spring we took part in the campaign for election of student body officers, and after a vigorous campaign Bob Soergel was elected president. After three months of vacation, when we returned to school as mighty Sophomores, we found two new advisors, Miss Thelma Kelley and Mrs. Annie Red- fearn. That fall our understanding class decided not to initiate the incoming freshmen, since we knew the torture which they would have to bear. Frank Albertson, who was chosen class president, was alded by Wiley Gaulden, Edgar Boling, and Lu- cille Richardson in the capacities of vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. We began the year with a big bang by attending a Cabin Party given by the P.-T.A. However, this yas only one of a number of delightful social events; as the months passed, more and more of our class- mates won recognition In various activities. Two of our girls, Joan Dolly and Margaret Fornara, were chosen as substitute cheerleaders. Some of our boys went out for such sports as basketball, football, and track; and several of the most athletic made the varsity squads. For the first time in a number of years, Mr. C. B. Moody organ- ized the most talented “Pinks and Jells” into a spec- tacular “Revue” which included gymnastics and rhymatics. Coveted title of “Miss Sophomore” in “Who’s Who” was captured by Julie Withers, and again Jack Jackson was elected our most representative boy. In the late spring, the gymnasium was converted into a beautiful oriental garden where the Junior- Senior dance provided another unforgettable evening of fun. Then came summer vacation, but time seemed to sprout wings, for almost before we knew it the sec- ond half of our high school career had begun and we were at it again—this time with chemistry, geometry, and Spanish. No doubt about it, the old “Alma Mater” had plans for us! Serving us well as class officers were Wiley Gaulden, president; Frank Albertson, vice president; Julie Withers, secretary, and Margaret Fornara, treasurer. As Juniors we were entitled to become members of three school-sponsored organizations, Hi-Y, Tri-Hi-Y, and National Honor Society. All clubs had a won- derful year: Tri-Hi-Y won the plaque for the best legislative bill introduced into the Youth Assembly. Among the highhghts of 1947-1948 were two pro- grams presented by the music department under the direction of Mrs. Selma Cate. The Christmas can- tata and the operetta, “Pickles or In Old Vienna,” were widely acclaimed. The N.G.LC. tournament was held at Druid Hills, and at the close of the basketball season a trophy awarded to the most sportsmanlike school was added to our trophy cabinet. In May our track team won the Fifth District and State Class B track titles. Frank Albertson was State mile titleholder. A Student Aid Committee was organized to help the students and the Monitor System. Two of our Junior classmates, Jane Brown and Wiley Gaulden, helped to organize and promote this committee. The thrill of the Junior-Senior formal will always remain in our memories. Weeks of hard work on the decorations culminated in the wonderful realization of that long anticipated event. It was “just perfect.” On May 11, 1948, after a spirited campaign char- acterized by meetings, posters, printed matter, bubble gum and candy, Jack Jackson was elected president of the student body with Sarah Alice Griffin as his assistant. Shortly after this Edgar Boling was. se- lected as treasurer and Margaret Fornara as S.A.F. director. The Seniors were gone before we knew it, leaving the halls a httle empty and the lunch line a little shorter; then we realized what it would be like in the fall. Everyone loved that feeling of superiority which came from being a Senior, but, of course, we missed the class above us. Thus, when September 7, 1948, came, we greeted the day we had awaited so long and began the most cherished year in our high school life. Mrs. Redfearn, Miss Kelley, Mrs. Baldwin, and Mr. Glenn served as our advisors for the Senior year. As editors of our publications, Joan Hinrichs and Margaret Mew were chosen to head the Saca, while Diane Piassick and Lucille Fortuna headed the SPOTLIGHT staff. Class officers for this eventful year were Floyd Sief- ferman, president; Frank Albertson, vice-president ; Lucille Richardson, treasurer; and Wiley Gaulden, secretary. Throughout the term we were greatly imspired by the work of the devotional committee headed by Nancy Jane Trice, and other assemblies which were under the direction of Julie Withers. Under the leadership of Coach George Muse, the football team had a very successful season on the Tucker field, where only two games were lost. After weeks of preparation and rehearsals, the homerooms of each class promoted an amateur night, which proved to be fun to the participants and _ hila- rious entertainment to the audience. During the fall, the P.-T. A. sponsored a barn dance, where we had professional callers from the Promenade Club. Both young and old thronged to th is family night fiesta, and the rafters of the gymnasium resounded with the merriment it provided. Margaret Fornara topped the “Who’s Who” poll with the title of “Miss Senior’ and Edgar Boling seized the title of most representative boy. As the girls’ basketball team, under the direction of Coach Arthur Armstrong, got under way, Sarah Stan- ley and Lucille Richardson were elected captain and co-captain of the team. Again this year our gym- nasium was selected as the setting for the N.G.LC. tournament. On December 16 ,1948, the music department, un- der the direction of Mrs. Cate, presented a beautiful Christmas cantata, dedicated to the memory of our classmate, Joan Hinrichs. On the following night, after the Alumni basketball game, the gym was the setting for an Alumni dance, where we talked over many old times with former graduates. As the curtain opened on the night of March 4, 1949, the Druid Hills stage was a bit of old Spain as the cast of the operetta, “Belle of Barcelona,” de- hghted the audience and again paid tribute to Mrs. Cate and the music department. On the second Friday night of March, Emory sta- tion was agog with the chatter of nearly fifty Seniors leaving on a tour to poimts of interest beween At- lanta and Washington, D. C. Enthusiasm and hilarity were rampant as the group set forth on the trip, which had as one of many thrilling features and over- night boat trip up the Chesapeake Bay. After much practice and preparation by the tum- blers and rhythm groups, Mr. Moody presented the third Druid Hills Revue on March 24, 1949. Every year they grow “bigger and better.” “The Skeleton Walks,” spooky title of our Senior mystery-comedy, was announced late in March. The play was pre- sented under the direction of Mrs. W. E. Wight on April 22, 1949, the leading roles being played by Nancy Lou Ivins, Hayden Bryant, and Edgar Boling. Numerous others also had them fling on the stage that night. The Senior banquet and the Junior-Senior dance marked the climax ot all high school festivities. The scene of our iast dance together was that of an under-water jaimyland where music and song reigned supreme. And now 1s almost graduation day. Yards and yards of organdy are being stitched with a fine seam. Dozens and dozens of flowers have been ordered. Tomorrow—and after tomorrow—we will be scat- tered; but once in a while, even as now, we'll be reminiscin’, for the charm of these golden, carefree days can never be forgotten. Class Historians: JANE Brown, Nancy JANE TRICE. Neen ee 4 | | LOUUBING FORWARD Setting: Alumni Alley Year: 1959 It was a rainy day in Alumni Alley. The streets were covered with slime and goo. “Ai ya, Slime!” “Hello, Goo!” “Who’s that odd-looking joker coming down the alley with that big sign?” : “Took! It says, ‘Capital Punishment Is Correct Punishment.’ He’s muttering something that sounds like ‘Ixill ’em all!’ That must be—” “Yes, it is—” “Hdear Boling!” “Maybe he can answer our question of the week.” “Which is—?” “What fate befell the Senior Class of 1949?” We found that Edgar could do more than tell us things; he could show us through the intricate turns of the alley—and for the price of a short beer he con- sented to conduct a tour. However, this eccentric pastime was only a hobby for Edgar, who had at- tained international fame as a brain specialist. The first thing that greeted our eyes was Ernest Harper’s newly decorated “Home for Worn and Woe- ful Wandering Wolves.” Feeling very much at home, Johnny Bounded up the steps and eagerly looked for Ernest, who came hobbling out of the kitchen, drying his dishpan hands on his red toupee. He told us of the untimely ceath of Teddy Johnson. Poor Teddy starved to death be- cause it took him 13 weeks to tell his wife, Wynne Christensen, that all he wanted for dinner was to- mato soup. He couldn’t think of the chemical for- mula and refused to say it In any other way. Bidding farewell to Ernest, still wipmg his hands on his red toupee, we noticed, across the street, a parking lot with a sign, “Craige’s Quaint Corner for Courtin’ Couples.” We asked James why he ever decided to go into that sort of business, and he re- marked that it would have been stupid not to take advantage of all the experience gained in parking during spare time at Druid Hills. As we passed a familiar-looking Crosley converti- ble, we noticed a shadowy form crouching on the floor, and, peering over the top of the car, we dis- covered LuLu. It developed that she was hiding from Coach Armstrong’s spies, Stella Burke and Jane Brown, who had been promised a position on the Varsity basketball team if they could discover what LuLu got for Christmas! As we left the sparking lot, Edgar began to tell about other classmates. Imagine how shocked we were on learning that Kitty Hardin and Joan Dolly were running an all-day nursery and teaching Sun- day School. Suddenly a figure whizzed by, and Johnny recog- nized it as Frank Albertson. Whereupon Edgar ex- plained that since Charlotte Moran lived at one end of the Alley and Margaret Ann Guion at the other, Frank keeps in shape for track by running back and forth. Hearing the strains of haunting music nearby, we were lured into an establishment called the “Last Chance Cafe,’ run by Charles Johnson. Just as we stepped into the smoke-filled room, we recognized Terrell Jordan and Nancy Jane Trice at the piano. The lights dimmed and a SPOTLIGHT—managed by Diane Piassick, flashed to the center of the stage, where Frances “Bubbles” Boswell was doing a strip- tease while Brenda “Call Me Hilegarde” Katz was singing “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm.” There seemed to be a party In progress in a corner near the bar and there we recognized Herbert Britt, George Ratchford, Charles Stroup, Richard Weimer, and Joe Vandergriff. Edgar told us that they were at the college where our old friend Larry Harris was president. At Johnny’s startled “Wait a minute, isn’t that Pat Payne sitting with them?” Edgar calmly rephed that Pat had been coach for the past nine years, taking the place of her former husband, Lee Allen, who had died from under-exhaustion. About this time, we decided to continue our search for the whereabouts of some of our old school bud- dies. So saying good-bye to Charlie, we left the “Last Chance Cafe.” Farther down Alumni Alley we saw Mitzi Green, wearing the elaborate medal she had won for being on time to school March 2, 1949. With her was David Burke, who Edgar told us was now a highly successful “Cover Boy.” He had become famous while posing for a hair tonie ad. Suddenly we saw a figure clad in gym shorts trip- ping lightly out of a gymnasium. It was John Goree, who was crusading in behalf of Compulsory Phys Ed. Above the doorway of the building from which he had come there was a sign which proclaimed “Sopkin Supphes Supple Sinews.” Further inquiry revealed that the establishment was owned by our old friend Charles “Atlas” Sopkin. Presently Johnny let out a low moan, which indi- cated to me that he had spotted food. However, my fond hope of being fed was of short duration because when we discovered that the girl behind the counter was Nancy Lou Ivins, the scheme was off. Nancy had become a farmer of plutocratic wealth, enriching her vast acres with the dirt she had collected from the SporticHT at dear old D. H. While we were reminiscing with Nasty Lou, we heard two pathetic voices. Turning around, we be- held Julie Withers and Dotty Cogswell beating their heads together as they mumbled, “We’ve got a dead- line to meet; get those Saga ads—puhlease.” Turning away from this heart-breaking sight, we noticed a vacant booth nearby and were informed that it had once been the site of a thriving little business owned by the Hall twins, renowned glass- blowers, who had gained their skill in this field from chewing bubble gum at Druid Hills. However, when Joanne James, with her cute Southern drawl, began touring the Alley im her red convertible, she lured the masculine customers away. Joanne was the de- spair of the feminine contingent of the Alley because when she cooed, “You lil’ ol Sugar Chile—you,” strong men swooned or trailed away after the car. Speaking of red convertibles made us think of Gene Oberdorfer. What ever happened to him? Edgar lowered his voice and sadly recounted that Gene had enlisted in the Foreign Legion a few weeks after eraduation. He had been so depressed when he learned that he could not meet the entrance require- ments at Georgia that he had boarded the next boat out of the country. Making our way farther down the alley, we heard a familiar voice yelling “Extra! Extwa! Wead all about it.” Without turning, we knew it was Larry Isaacson. Taking pity on his vagabond appearance, we decided to buy a paper from him. (Alas! We later learned that the joke was on us, for Larry had amassed a fortune. That old turned-up hat he had worn around D.H. was as well known as Dagwood’s club sandwich.) As we glanced at the headlines we read that Karl Hall had just been elected Governor of Georgia, hav- ing nosed out Talmadge in a hard fought campaign. Although the odds had been 69 to 1 against Karl, he had emerged victorious because Carol Katzenstein was such a clever champaign—we mean—campaign manager. Looking up, we saw two impressive buildings on either side of the street. Edgar said that the one on the left was the finishing school for boys, owned by Joanne Rutledge and Dianne Shell. Athletics con- stituted the main feature of activity in the Rutledge- Shell curriculum. Every year thousands of Americans traveled there to see the great “Nut Bowl” game. The building on the right housed the equally famous Bryant Finishing School for Girls. Hayden’s wife, the former Pat Green (now a retired ballerina), instructed the cultured chentele in the graceful twirls of the dance, while our old pal Jack Jackson served as chef of the institution. Of course, his specialty was still “Jelly-Roll.” Hearing a commotion down the way, we rounded the corner just in time to see Margaret “Spew” Mew, bouncer at Marilyn Hiscock’s Milkbar, tossing her 11th husband, Warren Gilbert, out the door. Warren, who couldn’t hold his milk, started making passes at Boo Boo Marlowe, an exterminator, who, as usual, couldn’t catch them (the passes, that is!). Inside, Marilyn was frantically hanging onto a chandelier while Bob Efurd leaped over a table with Don Gosney in hot pursuit. Marilyn told us, between screams, that Bob had sold Don a good-luck charm that didn’t work for Don. Bob dived under a rug velling, “I can’t understand it—it worked for me!” In the midst of all the confusion, Dick Peters, famous traveling salesman, was standing on a revolv- ing stool trying to sell his “Genuine pearls found while wandering through the wilds of Peachtree Creek one day.” Sitting in one corner was Bill Gibson, still wearing his black wig from the Senior Play. He explained that on the night of the play some overanxious make- up expert (?) had used cement instead of glue to secure it in place. Suddenly, Edgar, who had been standing at the win- dow all this time, rushed toward us and hustled us out of the door, and into a dark, dank basement across the street. A screaming blond-haired girl dashed out of a laboratory and flung her arms about Johnny’s neck, shouting “I’ve discovered it, do you hear? The secret formula to make my eyes turn blue!!!” As she danced wildly about the room with her peroxided hair flopping in her face, she sang “The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.” In a moment we realized that she was Margaret Fornara, who had finally succeeded in achieving her greatest ambition after having been haunted for years by the phrase “the blue of her eyes and the gold of her hair.” Leaving Maku with her happiness, we went up- stairs and dropped in on Bill Snedeker and Billy Jim Clemence, famous authors of the best-seller “There’s An Art to Mooching.” They told us of the recent marriage of Gary Singleton to Susie Griffin. It seems that Gary just goes from one extreme to another. We decided it was about time to go, and as we left we noticed a sign over the entrance which read “Boarders wanted—preferably males.” It was signed by Pat McCabe and Nancy Davis. I succeeded in keeping Johnny from going back by steering him into a second-hand clothing store owned by Pat Kendrick. There we heard that Sara Stanley and Wylie Gaulden had just become the proud parents of a bouncing, baby basketball team. Pat also told us of the rivalry between the famous dress designers, Boone (Be Chic Today the Bowen Way) Bowen and Jimmy (A Dress by Drew Is Right For You) Drew. Each wanted Ann Wilder to be his model, but she decided to marry Floyd Braswell. He had become rich on a pension paid by Doc Horton for his earnest endeavors in the field of pin-ball machines. As we left Pat’s second-hand clothing store, we heard her talking to Frank Bullock, famous manufac- turer of Taylor Tots, sometimes called Kitty Cars. Frank Pat were lamenting the sad condition of Judy Hirsch—she had had an attack of laryngitis, couldn’t talk for a week, and was, as a result, tem- porarily unbalanced. Hearing music again, we continued down the Alley and stopped in front of a big tent. Curiously we peered inside and saw Alton Harvey seated at a bat- tered piano playing “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire.” Nearby, speakers of the evening, Jean Mil- ler and Anabel Holladay, thumbed through the notes of their lecture on “Marist Should Be Abolished.’ Jo caught a glimpse of our ancient acquaintance, Ray Wages, so we hurried out to see him. Ray, now a famous pitcher for the Boston Cowards, explained his success; he had become very adept at pitching things while in Mrs. Purdom’s class at D.H. Ray told us he had just come from the jail, where he had been trying to arrange bail for his secret love, Shat- teen Taylor, famous woman wrestler, who was on trial for manslaughter. It seems she got a fatal crush on motor scooter cop Jack Pulley (in the ring, nat- urally). Ray had just finished talking to Shatteen’s counsel, Mildred Russell, famous criminal lawyer, who said it looked bad for Shatteen. Suddenly a group of tough-looking thugs swept by us. Edgar fearfully exclaimed, “Maxey’s Gang!” and disappeared into an open manhole. Seeing nothing to justify such alarm, we followed the gang to the back entrance of the jail, where they stopped. We ran up to the leader and greeted our old friend Jimmy. He introduced us to the rest of the gang—Bill Wallace, Clarke Richardson, Floyd Siefferman, and Lee Allen —and explained that they weer about to spring their molls from jail. The molls, Jean Sells and Bertie Em- merich, had been imprisoned for refusing to observe the rules and laws of Alumni Alley. It seems that the influence of the D.H. Monitor system just hung on and on. Leaving Jimmy and his gang to their evil plot, we entered the Jail and were greeted by a pale-looking Dick Hammel. We inquired as to the cause of his apparent illness, and he told us his tragic tale—his fiancee, Louise Medlock, had forsaken him com- pletely for Man O’War. He said he would probably have had a complete mental breakdown but for his hobby, which he offered to show us. He led us through a winding, twisting maze of halls to an iron door. As we entered we saw two chairs in the center of an otherwise bare room. We were told to sit down; so we did, and Dick began to strap us securely into the chairs. A loud speaker began to blare, and we recognized the voice of Jimmy Stott. He was Judge Jimmy Stott lecturing Jackie Benn and Helene Rob- ertson on the evils of “U” turns. Suddenly Dick gave a fiendish cackle and, muttering “You'll get a large charge out of this,’ pulled a switch on the wall. There was a blinding light, then— “Johnny—” “Yestu “Tt sure is warm.” “T know, but we might as well get back to work. Give me the shovel. That pile of coal can’t go on forever—or can it?” JOHNNY Lewis. Jo Back, Many thanks to Maku Fornara. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1949, on taking leave of dear old Druid Hills High School, hereby declare this to be our last will and testament, all others being null and void.
