We break some speed rules and arrive at the hospital, where we find MARJORIE BARKER, in a white uniform taking care of Viola. While talking to Marjorie we learn that Viola had spent the day shopping and wss on her way home. It seems as though she was in too big a hurry. , Speeding down the road we hear a siren.

Wilma Lowry won second place in the county typing con test. Bill Huber agreed to substitute for a member of the senior play cast the day of its presentation. He did a swell job, too. Grover Lowe won second place in the Dis- trict Latin Contest and went to the State Contest. We took the senior class to Louisville for the Junior Senior Prom. Everyone enjoyed the trip. Our passports to the dining room were very funny, but some of the pictures taken of us in grade school were quite embarrassing. Our class play, nBig Brothern, was a great success.
