SOPHCMORE YEAR As we came back to our second year of high school, we started out with a bang by giving the Freshmen their annual initiation. Because of so many other activities in the gym, we held only a couple of dances, one of course being the Sophomore Ball.

Our Senior Play was highly successful and after the Prom at Culberston Hills Country Club, our school days in Edinboro High School were nearly over, but we feel they weren't too unsuccessful.

v In CLASS PROPHECY The 49-ers The Class of '49 looks forward to a brilliant future. With the glorious past which we have had, how can we help but have a promising future! As we happen only once in hundreed years, with your kind permission, we shall endeavor to take you back to 1849 to see what the class of 1949 was doing at that time. 1849, as you will recall, was the year of the California Gold Rush, which led to the settlement of the West. Back in those days, my bosom buddy, Shirlee Perrine, and I were employed by the United States Census Bureau. We were to make a survey on the increasing population of California. We traveled by train to St. Louis, and from there started our journey to the Gold Coast by horseback. We had traveled just a few miles out of St. Louis when a feminine rider, Joyce Maynard, of the Hicks and Mack Pony Express Co., brought us the news that Davey Crockett Carrier and his husky young partner, Herbie Schilling, were bravely holding the Alamo against the Mexicans by every scheming trick which they knew. We overtook a wagon party headed by the famed trailblazer, Virgil Leslie. By the campfire, we recognized the gracious frontier woman, Evelyn Decker, carefully tending the gaping wounds of Rattle- snake Al Novotny-wounds which he had received during his latest skirmish with the redskins. That well-known pioneer woman, La Verne Yunic, greeted us and cordially invited us to spend the night in her humble but safe group. Miss Yunic was known all over the west for founding those small one- horse towns with a population of twelve or fifteen. Since we were growing hungry and tired, we accepted her invitation. The delicious aroma from the kettle told us that for supper we were having Hungarian Goulash and that good old western dish, roast coyote spareribs, prepared by those wonder- ful cooks, Dolores Harned and Dorothy Harris. Early the next morning, we continued our journey to the Gold Coast. In the distance we could see Boom Town. Before arriving in Boom Town, we met a stagecoach of Cap's Coach Lines. It stopped and we recognized the driver as Cactus Clair. He introduced us to the shotgun guard, Texas Troyer and the two occupants of the coach, Beata Hawkins and Ed Dundon, the Eastern executives who had success- fully convinced Big Chief Larry Sitting Bull that the new Reservation Act had granted him enough land on which to sit. We decided to have our horses reshod at Boom Town and to take in its spectacular sights in the meantime. We went to the blacksmith's shop and there was Frank Mukina diligently shoeing the horse of Clamity Jean Van Luven. Calamity jean, we learned, was at that moment turning loose her feminine charms on wealthy Jerry Loughran, proprietor of the Buzzard Nest Hotel. She considered her feudin' with Wild Bill Hiccups too trying and had decided to settle down. Of course, she had many rivals, especially Mademoiselle Olga Harayda, the Russian bombshell from Gay Paree. The whole town consisted of eight main buildings. One-half of the town was composed of a chain of four saloonsg the other half consisted of a trading post, the blacksmith shop, the hotel, and an Under- taker's Parlor. The trading post was run by those oldtimers, the Zulovich sisters, Ella and Mary, who had survived many an Indian war. The Undertaker's Parlor was operated by the famed Doctor Jekyll Chamberlain, who was known for his modern method of burying people in pine boxes. While we were saddling our horses and readying our departure from Boom Town, we saw, riding toward us, two of the West's few law-making citizens. As they came closer, we saw the never-to-be- forgotten sheriff, Pat O'Brien Garrett, and her one trusted deputy, Cynthia Bring 'Em Back Dead or Alive Alcorn. They were on the trail of Billy the Kid, the notorious outlaw. We informed them that we had not seen any sign of the Kid on our journey. While passing through Buffalo Country, we saw Buffalo Bill Colvin riding over the plain. Sudden- ly a buffalo came charging toward him. He drew his trusty Hogley, but before he could fire, a shot rang out and the buffalo fell dead, shot square between the eyes by Annie Marie Clawson Oakley. W' e were badly in need of water, and in our search for it, we came across Alkali Adams, snoozing under a Coukamonga tree on the bank of Gizmo River. Lying on the sand beside him were his prospect- ing utensils. Behind him, we saw his ambitious partner, Gold-Digger Dodds, faithfully panning the
