Mr. Aston again served as our class advisor and helped us plan our many activities. What fun we had watching the sophomores trying to outdo each other in the prize waltz! Who of us will ever forget Catherine Wilusz as the hit of the min- strel show! Janet and Clifford gave fine performances in the minstrel and Christ- mas Concert. Our senior play, The Swamp House, kept everyone on edge. Bar- bara I-lart was outstanding in her leading role and had the able assistance of Adrian Cheney as leading man. When we recall our final year, we Shall always think of our star football players, especially Captain Bill Johansen and Pete Bouchard, and our outstanding basketball players Captain Edward Dobrynski and star shooter, Bob Foley. Shall we ever forget our dances, class supper, parties, and football rallies that made our time at school so happy? Above all we shall remember all our teachers and the lessons they tried to teach us along with the splendid spirit of guidance, friendliness, loyalty, and cooperation they so admirably showed. Finally we shall treasure our class book, The Farmington Student, for the fond memories it will ever hold for us of the dearest school in the land, dear old Farmington High School.

We often noted a merry twinkle in his eye which indicated that he was merely having a good time. If you continue to caper as you have cavorted at F.

, :Duv- iferafure THREE STRANGERS My gas is getting pretty low. I guess I'd better stop at that gas station ahead, thought Martin Scott, as he drove along the dreary , rain soaked roads of Massachusetts. Pulling into the all-night gas station he waited patiently for the attendant to come out to him. Hi, Mister, rotten night, isn't it? Sure is. I'll be glad to get home. Got much farther to go? 'Bout thirty miles. I'm headed for Jewelsvillef' You are? There's a young girl in the diner next door getting a cup of coffee who's headin' in that direction. How about givin' her a lift? She seems like a nice kid. Okay. I'l1 go in and ask her if she wants a ride. While I'm in there, will you check the water, oil and tires, please? Martin Scott walked quickly across the parking lot, dodging the puddles, into the all-night diner. He instantly spied the beautiful brunette seated at the end of the counter. Walking up to her he said politely, Pardon me, Miss. The gas attendant told me that you wanted a ride. I'm going as far as .Tewelsville. Oh, that would be wonderful. Pm going to Watertown, five miles this side of Jewelsvillef' Martin sat down on the stool beside her. Since we're going to be traveling together, we might as well get acquainted. I'm Martin Scott, a nylon salesman. We sell everything from parachutes to stockings. Well, I'm Sue Evans. Pm just a plain hoofer, singer, dancer, cigarette girl--I guess I've done about everything. Right now I'm on my way to Watertown where I've got a job waiting for me. I'll be singing at Jimmy's Place for awhile. Just then the door flew open and the gas station attendant shouted, Your car's ready, Mister. ' While Sue and Martin were turning up their coat collars and were preparing to leave, a short, dark complexioned man who had been sitting unnoticed in one of the booths, came towards them. . Say, Mister, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. I'm headed for Water- town, too. Would you have room to give me a lift? He spoke slowly in a low, rather gruff voice. His hat was dirty and water-spotted, and pulled down over his glassy, shifting eyes. Well, Martin hesitated and gave a questioning look at Sue, who nodded her head in approva . It's such a horrid night to be stuck here, Sue exclaimed. 'fl know how it is, Well,if you don't mind, I guess we have room for one more. The three moved silently to the car and started on the road to Watertovm, Sue sitting in front next to Martin and the stranger , in back. Say, Buddy, you didn't tell us your name. You didn't tell me yours either, the stranger retorted. Qh, we didn't, did we? I'm Martin Scott, a salesman and this is Miss Evans, a singer. ' Pm Bob, the stranger answered simply. What do you do for a living ? Sue inquired politely. Anything, he replied shortly. The ride continued in silence. The rain splashed against the windshield unceasingly. Its noise and the endless flip flop of the windshield wipers were the only audible sounds, except for the sound of the engine. This quiet is getting on my nerves, snapped Sue. Let's get some music or news on the radio. No, if you don't mind, I'd rather not have it on, answered Martin quickly . I can't concentrate on my driving with that thing going, and with this war news it's worse then ever. There's a turn up here a little way that I'm watching for anyway. Shortly Sue made out a group of large direction signs ahead of them. I think this is the turn you were looking for. Martin pulled over to the side of the road and the head- lights flashed their beams on the signs. It says, 'Watertown left' and also 'straight ahead, ' Sue stated. If we go straight, it takes us through the mountains. I don't know if I want to go that way tonight. It's a lot shorter, Mister. You'd better go straight. This was the first time that Bob had spoken since stating his name. I don't care if it is shorter, Martin answered quickly. On a night like this I don't want to go through the mountains. 'fl tell ya, Mister, you'll get there quicker if you go that way. It's a good road and I know a short cut that will cut off about five miles.
