NANCY JIM CARROLL CARL DAVID NORENE MARY ANNE CLARA MAY REBECCA BETH ' HELEN CAROLYN G. JAN cARoL WARD RON Senior Class Prophecy One day in December, 19 76, two dis tinguished-looking men sat talking over their school churns, the class of '56. One, Dr. Carl Weinreich, is listening to bum, Francis Talken, relate an experience that happened several years previously. And I quote: I was just going under the anesthetic for an operation, and all of a sudden everything got misty. A little figure appeared and beckoned me to follow him, We went through several doors and rooms and finally entered a huge hall, There I discovered what had become of our class of '56, Professor James E, Edwards, A.B.-, M.A., Ph,D,, D,D.S., M.D., and B,M.O.C. fBig Man On Campusl, led the class. I then discovered that Inez Ashworth had become a dancer in the moviesg Diane Thompson was a trampoline exhibitionistg Carroll Taresh had been named All-American: and Beth Mcl-Iann is now employed by oil tycoon, Mike Nystrom, as a private secretary, After viewing these prize examples of achievement, I learned that Ronald Logan works with Ward Jewell as a tea-taster, a far cry from their ambitions, but it is a paying proposition Carolyn Goss showed up in her chef's cap and apron, for she had become a chief chef producing all sorts of good things such as Chief Chef Carolyn's Chunks of Charred Cucumbers. Thoma Kaye Dwyer is vocalist for the very popular Janyce White, world famous pianist. The two travel all over the world giving concerts. Helen Kendall keeps books for the previously mentioned millionaire, Mike Nystrom, who made some of his dough in bakeries. Myrna Lewis followed all these with a copy of Myrna's Merry Matters for Master- Minded, Money-Mad Misers of which she is the reporter, typist, proofreader, editor, pub- lisher, and circulation manager, Ben DuBose assists her by oiling the presses. Carol Baker and Robert Smith are now rearing their thirteen children, and they also run a gambling casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Darlene Beers is a test operator for Norene Walker's light globe factory, Darlene gets lit every night. David Skillin whizzed by driving his 1976 Chevrolet Convertible equipped with a cute little brunette, Carolyn Brandt. Jane Crist was absent from the crowd as she had just gotten married the day before and was honeymooning at Niagra Falls. June Allspaugh and Clara May Morris are known as the Two Tamales and sing for David Xavier Birdseye's south-of-the-border music orchestra. Mary Ann Hoffman models the new permanent peroxide called 'White Baldy. Becky Arnold teaches tumbling and is in strict training so that she may someday oe as good as Diane Thompson. Nancy Taresh has finished raising her small brood and spends her time making quilts which she exhibits at fairs. Stanley George Henderson is a 5-star general in command over Lloyd Baker, a 4-star general, At this point the figure pulled on my arm and we traveled back to the operating table where I awoke to find that the operation was a success and that I would be able to leave the hospital in two or three years, 10 NANCY TARESH Band 1,2,3Q Bones l,Z,33 Pep Band l,Z,33 Yell Lead- er Z,33 Hi-Y Z,3,43 Treas- urer 43 CSF l,Z,3,43 Vice- President 33 A.S.B.O.

White, John Jugum, F, Talken, Mrs. Dorsey, The first semester of this year the dramatics club consisted of five members, four girls and one boy. This unusual enrollment made it a little difficult to find plays to fit the class, but they did very well and were very busy. The first play was presented October 28. It was a Halloween comedy entitled At the Stroke of Twelve. The cast included Liza, June Allspaughg the old maid aunt, Beth McHann3 George, Eileen's boy friend, Francis Talkeng Eileen, the young niece, Diane Thompson: and Miss Simpson, a gossipy neighbor, Janyce White.

The three children were at home aloneg and when they found an axe, they thought their boarder was plotting to kill them instead of the turkey. The audience experienced many shivers and laughs as the plot of this play unfolded. The class rehearsed the Christmas play, Aunt Carrie's Christmas Carroll, and planned to present it December 22. However, due to flood conditions, school did not reconvene until Janu- ary 3g so the play was not presented. The dramatics class was joined by eleven more students during the second semester.

Mrs, Maxwell is troubled because she thinks her husband has forgotten their twentieth Wedding anniversary. The confusion that results when the children think their mother is dating another man, and their attempts to set things right result in many hilarious situations. The play was greatly enjoyed by a large audience. On April 20, the students in band and dramatics had their annual party. They played games, ate, and afterwards danced. Later in the spring, the class did several one-act plays, thus con- 24cluding a very active year, under the direction of Mrs. Joyce Dorsey, instructor. Bones FIRST ROW: R. Bjerke, J. Boles, M.

Due to a poor turnout and lack of interest on the part of some of the players, the Trojan team was withdrawn from the league but did play five practice games. The team was very ably coached by Mr. Herbert Jergentz, who was assisted by Mr, Everett Lindsay, a graduate of Chico State who was student teaching at Durham. After weeks of practice the Trojans met Wheatland on the home turf only to go scoreless against Wheatland's 14 points. The second game was played against- the Oroville boys on their stamping grounds, but the trip was all for nothing as the Trojans were clobbered, 47 to 6. In the next game, played with Los Molinos, the Trojans did somewhat better, being beaten by a score of Z1 to 7, The Durham team got better as it progressed. Princeton was played next and was beaten by a contested score of 12 to 7. This game was played on a muddy field which seemed to be a good luck charm for the Trojans. ln the last game, which was played with Hamilton City, the Trojans were defeated by a score of 19 to 7. It is hoped that next year's team will profit by the mistakes made by this year's players and that Durham High will produce a team of which the students can be proud. 38 B A1., 6. , A, I VV X, V V VV 1 8' 5 .., 59 i 2 , T: 5, X gi , A.
