..e, the Senior Class of 1953, wish to dedicate this book as a reans of our appreciation, to a principal ho has taught us for the past seven years in school. Mr.' Harvey has done any things to help Svans School, 3uch as advocatin' a new Lunch doom and a gym-auditorium of which we will be the third class to grad- uate in. Under his jurisdiction we have received a co plete mov- ing projector, better equipment for our F!.i Sept, and better furnis . L :s for our FHA Dept. He is always willing to help for school i-nprove ient, whenever there is a chance. 1 ..................ii — •mm ■ • i Our Cooks XMSv7wyvvkm vwvMVMVM« wvr WWW iiiimiMmuiMiuuw TTttTT , rvil Harvey P.

Our resident, Dalton Stevison, is the only one 1 get out of school. Thi3 is so he can have more time u broken arms; especially those around the Gill’s home. ■ears with d to niend nuttiest -;irl of the class, Judith is intellectual. Flease do not tell her difierently. e are -'onderii what will happen to Norma Lea Jarrell, s out oi school, if she does not ;et her nose out of the air. George r.iller, who is a senior again this year, hopes to et out of school by ’raduatir with us. That tall and handsome Johnny Brister, vows never to marry a red-head, but sometimes we wonder if this is right. ..e despise ourselves for gossipir so much, but v.t wonder if -velyn Blackmon ..ill ever marry that soldier guy. Neil Nash can hardly get along with another of our class members, Bill Stephens, because he visits bill's neighbor so much. • 'e wonder what can be holding Aliei t Jones' attention to- ward the rcat state oi California. Someone says it is a sailor’ Is this right? The senior class is wondering about Howard Midkiff who likes G.I. haircuts, fonder if he will ever le.= rn how o :o to Wenier roasts? Elois Eaves, the short, red-headed -irl of our class is patiently waiting for graduation. Lets all join in keeping her hopes high. Gtnaneil nddison who is a timid guy is wondering how he is -oin--’ to act the day he has to regist. r. ft hope he makes it. Good-Lucki Ne are wondering if Sybil Perkins will ever make it to Fort forth, Texas. If you can't get carried nowhere else, just go to Fort forth, Texas. The whole Senior Class is wonderin ; who John Dae Chaddick is going to bring to the banquet, but there is only one guess, that little Freshman Wanda Kennedy. He anj his friend Neil are having a little troubl with their -iris. Now, last but not least, co-.es oill Stephens ..ho fumbles around and loses his neighbors aocross the road to other beys. ................. _ 9 Highlights of Juniors After we, The Junior Class, presented our :lay, Juper- stitious Sadie , I, the reporter, have returned tc'all classes, but can’t seem to settle my mind, because tht followir. is constantly before me. I believe our smart Dorothy could find interest in Kerry- ville, instead of Evans. Looks as if nrthurite’s future lies somewhere around La. College, fonder if she will ever find it. Does anyone know why Betty likes California and Abtie Virginia? Seems as though they have taken a suduen interest. Seems to me Claud is just goin to have to settle down in Evans. Just wondering if Ruby is still coon-hunting. ’..'hat’s up for Opal in the Tenth Grade? I see nothing (almost) for Donald but a certain store. Looks like Donice is really going to be a Texas housewife after all. Sounds like Alice has found something at or near Camp Polk, fonder what it is? ill J. f. ever live up to his na.ue, Speedy? I’ll just sit back and let ndith tell me all, the gossip. Oh, how did Henry ever come out with his basket ball bet? How will Nelta make out with her new Heart-throb? Did Libert ever figure out what V.I.P. means? As for Nancy : nd Rosie—figure that out for yourself: I can’t. And last the Junior Class is wondering how long it will be before Daisy Jarrell picks up that Northern accent.

Our basket-ball team of last season was fairly successful. The team won as many games as they lost. Although the team lost three lettermen from last season, there are good prospects for a winning team this time. The same coach that coached the team last season is back again this year. 28 32 • 1 i-i' 36 WTWTTTflT SNAPSHOTS Bending Happy Bunch Whats the hurry Siting English Memories Three Kuskeeters' A M« MOTHrni , .
