CLASS HISTORY Four years ago there were sixteen of us on a pirate ship. They were Curtis Hughes, Crew Captain; Darrell Bradshaw, First Mate; John Buchanan, Third Mate; and Phyllis Mulkey, Ambassador. The remainder of the crew consisted of Alpha Weaver, Rose Duwe, Loretta Clawson, Mickey McGuire, Denny Mc- Call, Buddy Ahlin, Clyde Holland, Leo Jones, Jimmy Tutweiler, and George Hollibaugh. To test our stamina and ability as good pirates we were made to walk the plank and drink a strange tasting pirate made concoction. We found nothing of great value except a small bit of knowledge in the jewel chest this year. When we began our voyage, the next September three of our old crew, Clyde, Alpha, and Curtis, had been lost at sea. To compensate this loss Jerry Crossman, Joyce Lawless, and Clara Kingery were shanghaied. We added more knowledge to our stock of valuables. The third year of our cruise was very eventful. Toward the end pirate life became dull and we planned a shindig. (Junior Prom) and a pig roast (Junior, Senior Banquet). Leo Jones fell overboard and was swallowed up by that whale called Uncle Sam. The last we saw of Darrell, he was standing on the island of Love with an arrow in his heart. Joyce, Mickey and John gave up piracy and went treasure hunting on their own. George and Clare joined other pirate ships and Phyllis got tied to the stake of matrimony It is surprising but another small bit of learning was added to our treasures. On the fourth and final year of our cruise we had just six members. Our first celebration was the Senior Ball. In the spring of our last year as pirates we were honored by a banquet and formal dance given by our Junior friends. Our pirate career was ended in May 1951 when we had acquired enough valu- able treasure (knowledge) to receive our diplomas.

 244 'PwfiAecy As I was traveling on my way to the Moon, I approached the Boom Town, Drum- mond, which grew from 500 to 5, 000 in two years. I switched on the radio in my 1960 streamlined jet Cadillac and what should I hear but station D. H. S, coming to me from Drummond, Montana. Much to my surprise, who should I hear as announcer on this program but Mr. Foss, who is using as his commercial a relief for chapped hands, his own invention, atomic-chemic-cure? remembered Mr. Foss as Senior Advisor and also as the chemistry, physics, and biology teacher. This is D. N. B. C. at Hall, Montana bringing you the annual Angus sale conducted by Arthur Allen Bowls, Jr. who owns the biggest ranch in the world. His ranch covers most of Eastern Montana. Arthur spends most of his time on Wall Street in New York City operating several big businesses. We will now hear from G. N. B. C. home of the largest college in the western United States. Who do we hear broadcasting but Dean of Men, Gerald Roy Crossman, Esquire. After he graduated from D. H. S. he went to Harvard, then to Yale where he spent ten years in research work and finally discovered the thing! After hearing from Professor Crossman, we will hear from Washington D. C. and Loretta Clawson who is the first lady president of the United Nations. After many years of hard work she finally succeeded in revising the Foreign Policy and we hope she will keep it working perfectly. Since my car was running out of gas, I decided to stop at ultra-modern gas station in Drummond. As I had my car serviced I found out that Dennis Willard McCall, better known as Tick owned a chain of filling stations, and that this was one of them. Tick, in a perfectly tailored suit, white shirt, and highly polished oxfords was checking on the cash receipts for the month. The five-figure profit column for the month pleased him immensely. He told me to go across the street to see two other old pals.
