Valedictorian NANCY COLLETTE Nancy, who has majored in French and com- mercial subjects, is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Collette. During her four years in high school she has maintained an 88.43 average. In addition to her scholastic ability, she possesses an en- viable record in the realm of extra-curric- ular activities. She has, at one time or another, served her class in an executive position; headed the National Honor Society; been a member of the chorus, the cheerleading squad, the French Club, the Wintersports Club, the Photography Club, and, in this her Senior year, very ably directed the literary staff of this publication. We feel confident that these high school years are but a preview of a fruitful and produc- tive life. Good luck, Nancyl Senior Class Honors SHIRLEY CLARKE Shirley, like Nancy, has majored in French and commercial subjects. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Clarke, Sr., she maintained an 87.32 average during her four years at Harrisville Central. Although not the tallest girl in her class, she nevertheless proved herself head and shoulders above many a more capable student. Hers was a determined and conscientious effort to succeed. She too has been a devoted servant of her class and her school. A four-year member of both band and chorus; active as a cheerleader and a thespian; an asset to the French, Wintersports and Photography Clubs; and, one of the most efficient Class Editor the PIRATES LOG has ever known. We shall no doubt hear of and witness many of her future achievements. To her also go our best wishes of success. Salutatorian

Senior Class Prophecy YOU ARE ALMOST THERE JUNE 25, 1971 LAFITTE AND KIDD RETURN TO HARRISTON June 25, 1971. What kind of a day will it be? A day like all days, filled with those events which alter and illuminate our time. Everything is as it will be then, except, YOU ARE ALMOST THERE. June 25, 1971. Sometime during the night the indestructible H.C.S. PIRATES dropped anchor a few miles south of Harriston. Two well-known pirates, Lafitte Coulet and Kidd Alavancha, were spotted swimming up the Oshegotus Canal early this morning. Why are they returning? What is the purpose of this un- expected visit? That, ladies and gentlemen, is a matter of conjecture. It may be a friendly visit, and again, it may have been inspired by the same spirit of adventure which, fifteen years ago, led them to the edge of a cake-filled stage and almost cost them their reputation. We are told that, with the first news of their arrival already spreading through Northern New Cork, the citizens of the near-by towns of Clipon-Time, Oshegotus, and Tedwards, have locked their doors, barred their windows and turned on their air-conditioning units. It seems that... ladies and gentlemen, it is reported that Lafitte and Kidd have just touched shore north of the bridge in the heart of Harriston. We switch you now to Ned Crooks in Harriston. Come in, Ned Crooks This is Ned Crooks. At this moment we are standing on the east shore of the Oshegotus. Lafitte and Kidd have indeed just touched shore. We will do our utmost to obtain an interview with the pair but, remembering their custom- ary non-committal attitude, we can promise nothing. Pardon me, gentlemen, but could you tell us what brings you here? Out of m’way, I ain’t got no time to convert with ya’. This is Ned Crooks once again. As you have just seen. Messieurs Lafitte and Kidd had no comment to make. We switch you back to Walter Kronbite at our main studio. This is Walter Kronbite once again. Air conditioning units have been turned off in the neighboring localities. It seems that...an important develop- ment seems about to take shape at the western end of Harriston. We switch you, therefore, to Sod Hunter. This is Sod Hunter. Pardon me, sir, what are you saying? A Bopemian family in town? Yes sir, we understand. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we are informed that a Bopemian family moved into the vacant Food’s Garage sometime during the night. We were about to report, before being interrupted, that both pirates are reported to be headed this way. Bopemian family, pirates: coincidence? Perhaps. We will soon know for Lafitte and Kidd are less than a hundred feet away. Yes, yes, ladies and gentlemen, they are entering Food’s Garage. Let’s go inside. Lafitte and Kidd are addressing what appears to be a fortune teller. What’s ever become of our ’quaintances? The woman has now seated herself in front of a giant puffball. We would assume that this will serve as her crystal ball. She is looking intently into the puffball but appears to have difficulty seeing anything. Now she is whispering to Kidd. He hands her several oversize silver coins. Now, I see very well. It is a tall girl.••sitting at a desK in the of- fice of the Elevator Shoe Company......her name... is...Shirley Clarke. Now (cough) another girl....a cigarette girl at Ciro’s....it looks like Jane Walrath. And now a boy....oh no! not that woman again! Say, Lafitte, what would you do with a talk- ing puffball? That blooming Olympic debater Janet Powers, is at it again. Always she clouds my puffball! It seems there is a question as to whether or not Donna McCarn is a society matron in Boston or Dogpatch and whether Betty Lou Wicks is still the undefeated hog-caller of Pigville. A little silver, gentlemen, might rid us of her. Thank you. Now the picture is moving, moving quite fast. Yes, it is Captain Jack Ford of the Mitcairn Highway Patrol on the trail of Clyde Frank. You know, of course, that he is wanted in three states for illegal deer. Now... I see another stormy picture: Stuart Valentine, newly elected president of Vermont Maple Sugar Co., is betting his last dollar that no syrup is better than Vermont syrup and Mr. LeBlanc says New York syrup is the only syrup. More silver, if you please. Thank you. Now I can see Tex Montana’s star singer, Ernie Shaw. And now I see Elaine LaPlatney directing a class in poise at the Conover Charm School. It was there, Mr. Kidd, and this is free, that Stewart Parow acquired the funda- mentals which earned him a leading role as one of the Dead End Kids.
