p R D P H E C Y Ruth Shipley, telephone operator, and Gilbert Baker, telephone lineman, represented the Everett station at a telephone convention held in Chicago. Among the out of town visitors were: Gareth Turgeon, chief forest ranger of the Great Smoky Mountains; William Valentine, world famous traveler, who now makes his home in Paris; Nancy Swartzwelder, navy nurse, is spending a thirty day vacation in the town of Chaneysville; Kenneth Foor is home on furlough from the Armed Forces. On the last page of the paper was an announcement that Dr. Spencer Ward is opening an office in Everett. His assistants will be Charlotte Rohm and Geraldine Shaffer, registered nurses. While I was walking down the street, I met Derry Miller, nationally known manufacturer of sports' equipment. He said that he was moving his offices into the Everett skyscraper and had hired Helen Brallier to do the decorating of the offices that his secretaries—Sarah Hann, Esther Ritchey, Clara Mills, Shirley Miller, Barbara Sponsler, Shirley Smith, Marjorie Clark, and Doris Dishong—will occupy. When I entered the Post Office, I was greeted by Kenneth Williams, recently appointed postmaster. After chatting for some time I mailed some post cards and started on my journey to the schoolhouse. Walking down the street, I saw an auto accident. Blair Clark was on hand with his new Cadillac ambulance to move the victims to the Bedford County Memorial Hospital where Dr. Rodney Sponsler and his fine staff of nurses—Donna Morgart, Helena Burke, Ethel Bollman, Beverly Diehl, Joanne R. Clark, Myrna Calhoun, Betty Hann, and Shirley Boore—gave them the necessary treatment. Carl Deremer soon arrived at the scene with his wrecker to remove the damaged autos. After all the excitement I proceeded to the school house. Joe Senft was quite thrilled with his new appointment as principal of the high school. Two of his faculty members were Mildred Verbal, Home Economic teacher, and Velma Marshall, Commercial teacher. Sally Ann Howsare and Nancy Johnson are teachers in the grade school. When I arrived back in town, I saw a group of frustrated housewives having quite a time in front of the grocery store. After I had investigated further, I found them to be no other than Lois Brockey, Lois Mallow, and Shirley Shipley. You see they are on a food committee for a banquet that the Clearville Housewives of America are holding in honor of the Everett Homemakers Club. Hans Brodton, psychologist, and Leslie Waddill, president of the First National Bank of New York City, are to be speakers for the evening. Among those expected to attend the affair are Joanne Jackson, Norma Calhoun, Betty Lee Foor, and Shirley Calhoun from Everett; Gussie Peck and Mildred Bollman from Breezewood; Marietta Clapper from Bedford. The Everett women had Mary Colledge, local beautician, swamped with work all day. Back at the bus station in Everett were Willard Clark, Robert Winck, Larry Stabnau, Henry Mellott, and Roger Barney. The Brigade of district farmers were journeying to Washington to protest against a bill which Congress had on the floor. After returning to the present, 1954, the future didn't look as bleak as I had anticipated. Parting at graduation is just one of the many milestones in our life we will encounter and accomplish.

(MminidJJiaiDAA Supervising Principal of Everett Southern loint Schools MILLER C. HOOD. B. S., M, Ed. Indiana State Teachers College University of Pittsburgh Education for citizenship is training for life association with others, particular reference being made to the sharing of interests, possessions, privileges and duties. Such education involves sufficient general training to permit one to inform himself on matters of common concern which will promote understanding and tolerance of others. Effective citizenship includes the ability to assist in resolving issues between a group to which an individual belongs and one or more other groups in which he may not hold membership. The practice of good citizenship should be a world-wide drama. What part will you play? Will you be on the stage, even though in a humble part, or merely present in the audience? May the Class of 1954 practice good citizenship in the future as well as you have in the past. Experience has taught that our opportunities to advance as individuals and as a nation have often been found in tiny clues, hidden amid simple surroundings. The steam engine was born in a tea kettle; the airplane came out of a bicycle shop; the automobile first sputtered and moved in a small carriage factory; and broadcasting started from an amateur station in a private garage. The big things in life, as well as great industries, often are bom in humble fashion. They are cultivated and advanced by someone's faith, vision, courage, and hard work. As Americans, blessed with liberty, you have a superb chance to contribute to man's eternal quest for peace and plenty, freedom and happiness. May your capacity for leadership be fortified by faith, courage and vision. I wish the Class of 1954 every success. High School Principal D. RAYMOND MACK, B. S„ M. Ed.
