Key Hole Spy Hello! May I push out the key to this door and creep in with some of the latest gossip. You won’t be able to see me because I’m the “Keyhole Spy.” I see all, know all, and as you read, you will find I tell all.—What Junior girl is the center of attraction foi one of our Senior “Romeos”? It couldn t be a red head could it? . . . What certain fresh- man girl can’t seem to make up her mind? Contact B. B. . . . Who knows whom Joan B’s heart beats for? It could be hard to guess . . . The hospitals have certainly done good business this winter. Seems appendi- citis, as well as measles, is catching . . . Which one of our brave faculty members was requested to carry extra life insurance because of driver education this year? It wouldn’t be the same one that finds the Rus- sell hospital a very interesting place, would it? . . . Why does one of our peppy little cheerleaders make an extra trip on one of the buses every night? It couldn’t be that the driver attracts her attention, could it? . . . Kenny W. is the only boy who can keep his current heart throb to himself . . . What certain senior boy is the only male in a class of nine girls? Only a small hint on this one. He is as bashful as ever. His initials couldn’t be M. K., could they? . . . What seems to be the center of attraction at Snow’s Corner for a certain junior boy? . . . Could it be a blonde? . . . Why does a certain blue Ply- mouth arrive at the school building just be- fore the dismissal bell rings? It couldn’t be that a certain red head in the senior class is the cause of this, could it? Be careful J. H.!!!! What seems to be the reason for a few' senior girls receiving diamonds lately? Contact G. S.. J. H., and M. P. . . . What senior girl is brooding over the loss of her boy friend who has been inducted into the service? Could it be the editor-in-chief of this book? . . . What is so exciting about a certain dance hall in Bangor that attracts the attention of a certain sophomore girl every Friday night? Just a little hint—ner classmates call her “Nat.” What romance has seemed to hit a new spark since the days of junior high between one of our popular junior boys and a certain freshman girl. . .. Which one of our popular and cheerful teachers is expected to become a principal since he has moved into the principal’s for- mer residence? All good things Must come to an end, So good-by for now— Your nosy friend, “Key Hole Spy’’ Senior Low Down Class Athlete (boys)---------Wayne Bishop Class Athlete (girls)-----Marilyn Brown Class Romeo Eugene Byers Class Juliet ----------------Janice Hatch Class Actor---------------- Melvyn Kitchen Class Actress ....-.......
