At the beginning of the second semester we lost one member--Mary Sullivan, and gained one-Don Hart. Our senior play, 'Mystery in the Library , was'-presented on April 14. It was chuck full of thrills and chillsmwith Johnny Bohrnsen on the side for laughs. Early in February Lois Ledbetter was chosen by the faculty and senior class as 'Good Citizen for 1950. Fred Owsley, Bob Ninninghoff, Bob Munis, Bill aight, Don Hart, Gordon Owsley, Keith McLeod, and Paul Beretta were members of the Prospector and Granitonian staff. They were assisted during the second semester by one Gold Digger'---Pat Purtle. It fell to our lot and our superb strnegth to change two numerals this year instead of one. It was tough but we were not too tired to enjoy a picnic afterwards at Fred Burr. Many of the seniors acted as leaders of the various student organizations throughout the year. Marv Anne Crncevich and Lois Ledbetter were cheerleaders. Fred Owsley was .the president of the 'G' Club and Dewaine Forgette was the vice-president. Pat Purtle served as the pres- ident of the newly organized Pep Club and Shirley Bellm was ith- secretary- treasurer. The student council was also headed by members of the soldier class. Now we have come to the end of our long journey thru the four years of high school, and we are looking ahead to the years to come. To us our graduation is only the beginning of another phase of our lives. For it we have the courage to enter the doors of the unknown, where we hope to make history and win more recognition and fame for ourselves and the Class of 1950.

Yeah, it is boring, isn't it? I hsven't seen the graduating C hee of 1950 since we left in 1960, and it is 1963 now. Why don't we look thlm1up2 Good ideag it will be something to de. There is the Might ranch below us and there are Trilbe and Bill getting into their care Yes, and there .re their five kids getting into the back of the Cfre Say, it looks to me as though they h.ve had three more children since we last saw them. Yes, they had only two when we were on earth three years ago. There is the Ledbetter ranch, I mean the Metcalf ranch. Lois has done very well since we graduated. She supports Nic and their three children and runs the ranch besides. I see a new Cedallic there by the house. I guess that is hers too, It must be. Look, there is Philipsburg, That new building must be the one the GrahamfBurnett Construction Co. has just built. Yes, leo really expand d the business after he married Janice and formed a partnership with Jim. The e is Paul putting ixrides on the railroad track behind Sparkies. I felt kind of sorry for Paul, getting a scholarship to the Univer- sity and flanking out the first quarter.
