YESTERDAY'S BABIES....TODAY'S SENIORS I I LEE BRITTENHAM 9-4-35 Se titit 'rtyiaienef. We discover, to our amazement, that we are really seniors and have sight of our goal now that seemed so distant 4 years ago. As freshmen we survived initiation none the worse for wear. Lenore Pursley left that year and Jeanie Crowley and Elsie Gall came. As sophomores we initiated the freshmen and were minus Dorothy Reizenstein. Milestones of our junior year were the play, Me and My Shadow , receiving our class rings, and the Prom and Banquet on the theme Moonlight . We had two sponsors- Mr. Kramer and Mrs. Fernandes. .Among the missing the junior year were Jim Hite, Dorothy Hood, and Elsie Gall. In taking count as seniors we are only two left--of those who began together 12 years ago--having lost Jeanie Crowley, Marveen Lambert, Mary Lou Kramer, and Rex Walker. Then Lee Brittenham joined us. We chose for our motto, Quality, not Quantity ; class colors --black and gold; flower--the orchid; and sponsor--Mr. Christian. Our play, Good Gracious, Grandma! was given April 9 and was successful. We thank Mr. Christian for helping make our senior year an enjoyable one. We also thank the Juniors for a lovely Prom and Banquet. Most of all, our most sincere thanks to those who have helped us the most, OUR PARENTS. S U l It is the year 1964 and I have just arrived on a super Jet-propelled rocket at the airport and since it is a nice day, I have decided to go to the ball game in the new Dodger Stadium. The game proved to be very exciting, with the Dodgers winning over the runner-up New York Giants by a narrow margin, 40-2. As I went past the Dodger Dugout I saw Lee Brittenham, the Dodger Manager. We stoppped to talk a- while and Lee told me that after the Dodgers beat the Yankees seven straight series, the Yankees dropped to the Minor league, and that after the Dodgers decided to move their stadium to Fort Laramie, the little town had grown until it now has a large air- port, a college, is capital of Wyoming, and is the Hollywood of the nation. Since the Metro-Golden-Mayer Building is -he largest in Fort Laramie, I decided to go there next. As I entered the building, I heard someone yelling, Out, Out! I saw Barbara Bay, the director. And since it was just time for lunch she suggested we all have lunch together. As we ate, Alberta Heller joined us and she and Barbara talked about the new picture which they are making; Barbara directs the pictrues and Alberta writes the scripts. They also act in some pictures and are married to famous movie actors. As we were about to leave, Mr. Kezele, assistant director, and Mrs. Kezele came in. He told us that after directing the senior play back in 1954, he liked it so much that he decided to take up movie directing. After lunch, we decided to take a tour of the huge college campus and were met by Mr. Christian, who is now Dean of the Poineer College. He showed us the new ultra-modern class rooms and we had an enjoyable afternoon. That evening, as I board a rocket, 1 realize how lucky I was to have seen all of the class of 1954. BARBARA BAY 9-22-36
