No, it can't be! I must return to earth to investigate the dope ring that is operating in the vicinity of Frey's Service Station which is now owned and operated by our old classmate, Bobbie. Upon arriving at the world's-largest airport at Granite Falls, I immediately begin to wonder what happened to all my old classmates. Not far down the street I see a flashy truck and soon find out that it is owned by Buster Abbott, the famous cedar cutter of the Munn Abbott Co. I see Buster sitting in a cute little soda shop, Sunde's Sundae and Soda Sweet Shop, which is operated by my old friend, Marlene Sunde. I sit and chat with them about old times, and learn that Cheryl Motter was whiskey-tester for the Old Crow Co, , but had lost her job because she became an alcoholic. She ended up marrying the owner of the Nash Motor Co. Marlene tells me that Phillip Turner is now raising and selling turtles. Jerry Acton is employed as head turtle trainer and is Dora Melton's agent. Dora is work- ing for the Beetle Bailey Circus as the world's fat lady, Dora Dimples. I also learn that Bud Curtis has finally fulfilled his lifetime ambition by becoming a mattress tester; he can now sleep on the job without worrying about being fired. Wandering on down the boulevard, I see a sign, Come in and let Ralph and Ernie take you. I immediately recognize the slogan as that of Ralph Steinke and Ernie Bond. I decide that this is no place for me, so I wander on. On the other side of the street I spot the new saloon and dance hall, The Pink Garter, owned by Janyce Scofield. Lois Legs Rawlins and her dancing girls are featured every night. This exquisite place is located in the ritzier section of town. Nora Murphy is selling newspapers and making the fabulous sum of $15 a week. I invest in one of these papers and see Sylvia Wolfe's name plastered all over the sports page. She has finally won the world champion wrestling title. I also read that Janice Barstow has been promoted to a general during the war with China; keep going Jan, you may someday be president. I decide to return to Lochsloy to check up on my assignment—the dope ring. I can't seem to find anything, so I decide to return to the earth again in 2000. 14 JLa5t Will and Testament I, Marlene Sunde, bequeath my ability to get along in typing class to Sharon W. and Janice W. I, Phillip Turner, bequeath my Brownie Points to Sharon D. to keep her lonely Campfire Beads company. I, Janyce Scofield, bequeath my job of getting left with the dirty work to anyone who wants it. I, Ralph Steinke, bequeath my ability to do English for Miss Easton to anybody who needs it. I, Janice Barstow, bequeath my ability to drive to Carol Sundquist. I, Lois Rawlins, bequeath my fondness for goodies to V. G. I, Russell Abbott, bequeath my ability to lead the toilet collecting gang on Halloween to Bill Bounder Davisson. I, Dora Melton, bequeath my job in the library to anyone who wants it. I, Ernest Bond, bequeath my ability to get along with Miss Jack to Margaret. I, Nora Murphy, bequeath my job in the lunchroom to anyone who gets as hungry as I do. I, Roberta Frey, bequeath Lewis Winje to anyone who needs his help as much as I don't. I, Clark Curtis, bequeath my job as annual editor to Jerry Larsen in hopes that it will take his mind off the girls. We, Sylvia Wolfe and Cheryl Motter, bequeath our ability to get stuck for all charitable things to anyone who is fool enough to get caught. I, Jerry Acton, bequeath all my wisecracks to Siegfried Schwendtke. To the juniors we leave Miss Easton, We hope that her can learn they as much as her has learned we'uns. To the sophomores we leave our ability to get things done, one way or another. To the freshmen we leave ourselves as an example of what may be attained through years of hard work. To Miss Easton we leave the hope that someday she may have the honor of having another class like the class of '56. 15 J? e niot 4jiitotu Of the graduating seniors of 1956 there are nine who started in the first grade together.

We, the annual staff of the Grrnite Falls High School, wish to dedicate this space to thank Robinson's Studio and Mr. Frank Robinson, personally, for all the help they gave us in the printing of the pictures in this year's 1956 Pilchuck. As you know, Mr. Robinson came up to the school twice this year and took pictures for the annual. He developed them and made them exactly the size we ordered. All of this was done with absolutely no charge. We extend our greatest ' Thank You'' to Mr. Robin- son and his stafff. CHESTER BEARD SHOES The best shoes you can buy—anywhere!
