K 'A NW mm Dear 0 ,x xx D WWW Students and Readers: One of the brightest features of Natures Great is that we have cherished memories to which to Plan hold. May the smile, the chuckle,--or perhaps the tear that comes to your face--or in your heart as you reminisce through these pages give you satisfaction and joy. As we stand on the brink of a possible World War Three, let us realize that, while we may have to fight 't 'll be education-- with destructive weapons now, 1 wi education for understanding, tolerance and cooperation-- that will eventually set us free.

She is an artist and doin g very well indeed. She is so successful the she has someone to hand her art supplies so she won't have to move, Peggy Phillips, Moffett---Who surprised everyone by be c o m in g a b r i de before she gr a d uate d , extends a warm welcome to her house at anytime--especially if you like babies, fShe has plenty for everyone to play with,j Glenn Noles---Influenced by the speech class, is now broadcasting football games for N. B. C, , pausing fre q uentl y to tell of his little gold football he won in the '50 season. Wanda Moffett---After se ve ral attempts at pro, basketball gave up the idea and turned he r mind to matrimony, After much discouragement from her sister Zelma she finally settled on a job of announcing over the radio, She really likes the job because she can talk all she wants to and no one can tell her to shut up. Mary Mae Gantt---ls back from Reno after her fifth consecutive divorce and wait- ing for a call from Roughcreek. She is dreaming of m ak i ng that certain someone the sixth and final one, Fehrlin Tutt---Has been back from A, and M, quite awhile, He is doing soil con- servation work along with his poultry business, raising white turkeys, which he s pe nds on his trips to the SOUTH. ' A ---Working as a typist has finally gotten the voice and the courage to say yes to t at rich and handsome boss. QAll Seniors of '51 are invited to the wed- ding.J f ' Elmer Mijares---Is employed as a farmer and doing well, Elmer with his wife and children are becoming rich. He is as happy and friendly as ever, Joyce South---With her warm smile and friendly ways, after breaking many hearts and having that successful career she wanted, found that one guy that c o uld make her be true, fWonder if he is from Hobbszy Curley Neves---Back from serving in the Atom War is now busy with his farm what time he isn't at Ruby's. He has popped that fatal question and is patiently waiting for the answer to his dreams, Wilton Hayes---Has settled down in Rotan. It s aves gas and wearing out the car, Still all out for football he is training his two sons to be football heroes, Kennith Hardin---Has finally overcome those bashful ways, Altho ugh still a bachelor is alone but never lone 1 y , Could be he has pleasant thoughts about that cer- tain beautiful blonde. Mrs. Noles---Finally got s o feeble that the school board decided to let her go and save the expense of an elevator to carry her up and down the stairs, After much discussion and good times the Juniors decided to say goodbye until the following year. They all wish the Seniors of 1951 much success and happiness through- out the rest of their lives, Remember when ----- you walked in Mr, Wilburn's speech class and he SMILED. Mr, Taylor went into his office and no one was in there, Bill Etheredge had long hair, Willie wasn't talking to a girl, Mary Beth didn't knock on the door in Ag, building, Fehrlin worked on the annual until 1:30. Peggy was interested in aeronautics. Joyce played off again, on again with a certain ring, Ivin won the Rotan Boxing Championship, Curley was interested in teen age girls instead of babies, Bill and Willie didn't rush all the new girls, Pud went with Vivian. Wanda could make up her mind about which Bavousett she really wanted the Seniors borrowed Mrs, Noles' car to sell ads, Wgtgghad a date without going to Rotan, Johnny Bob could wear a No, 6 shoe, Donald Wray took Ida Lee to Roscoe, Chester Roy or Bobby didn't get a telephone call, Mary Mae was speechless in speech class, Coach left the lights on coming back from a basketball game, you went into the hall and Mrs. Noles told you not to get out, Mr, Taylor wasn't gripping about the H, E, building being dirty, Nona Lee went to Roby and didn't get to play basketball, ..5.,,, X I .,.,' Q!
