WINFRED DON PATTON-Industrial Arts Course. Voted the handsomest boy in the Senior Class. Lyle McDaniel gives us one of his charming smiles. My Two Years In Durance Vile By Jack Neeley I was committed to the institution of higher learning, Gridley Union High, as a sophomore, October, 1948. During that, my first year of residence, I am happy to say. I was never held in “solitary con- finement,” although, at times, I thought that I would be. It was also at that time that Alan “Gashouse” McGie broke his arm while practic- ing pole vaulting for an escape over the “wall.” Thus another attempt was foiled by fate. I finally escaped to Oregon in the fall of ’49, only to be kicked out and returned to Gridley. Upon my return to the institution, I immedi- ately fell into bad company. The two villains were that notorious murderer, Wallace “Lady- killer” Guilford and his equally villainous part- ner, “Gashouse” McGie. We were captured and returned to the Gridley “prison” in early October, 1950, in order to finish serving our terms. However, we found that great changes had taken place in the battered and scarred institution. It even seemed that the bars were bigger, the walls higher, and the “guards meaner. “Gashouse” McGie and an accomplice, Ray- mond “Casanova” Rogers, attempted an escape on Senior Skip Day, a holiday of some sort, but returned and gave themselves up. fearing, as some stated, that they might be crippled for life. It was at first believed by the “guards” that Dale “The Haircut” Beck was carrying a shot gun in his pants’ leg, but it was later dis- covered that he had injured his leg in his escape attempt. And now I wish to reveal a great secret plot. Under the guise of practicing for a play of some sort—I think it’s called “It’s a Date”— some of the “trusties” are planning the over- throw of the “prison” and a daring prison break sometime in June. It is all being led and planned by those two villainous characters. Maxine “Killer” Morris and Lillian “The Cutthroat” Wickman. For telling this I demand an immediate parole for turning state’s evidence.
