CiaU Pnofdtec4f Television Announcer (Andy Uuran): Attention, folks. As today is the tenth anniversary of the '49ers, Television Station IGNACIO will give a special program showing what each and every one of the members of the class of '49 is doing. This program will feature each in action in his or her own profession. First we switch to Cleveland. Jack Schalles is dressed in a baseball suit, les, he's playing ball for the Cleveland Indians. We see him in the batter's box as he prepares to bat with bases loaded. He hits the first pitched ball. It goes up, up, up and over the centerfield stands. Jack trots around the bases as the photographers take his picture. lie just made his 61st home run to break the record of 60. He just broke babe Huth’s record. Let us switch to a local scene. We see Gordon Pope working on his bookkeeping. He doesn’t want to hire a bookkeeper, and he has trouble keeping his records straight. Gordon is the owner of the biggest dude ranch in Colorado. While we’re in this area, let's go visit a farm. There’s a group of children playing in the yard, while Clarice Mackey is washing clothes. We now turn to the Ignacio High School at Ignacio, Colorado. We see Eloise Hallsted and Marybell Neil are school teachers. Marybell is teaching trigonometry and Eloise is teaching English. Let's switch to the Ignacio city limits. We hear two fellows quarrelling. Dick Scales and Dale Higgin are quarrelling over whose turn it is to wash dishes. They are bachelors and are living together. What’s this we see now? Ah, we see that Carl Phelps is visiting. Whom? Hetty Pope. She is living on a big cattle ranch in New Mexico with her husband. Let’s switch to the Pacific ocean. Look at that sailor. It's Paul Payne, and he’s scrubbing the deck of a battleship. We warned him about the sailor’s life but he wouldn’t believe us. Live and learn, Paul. Let’s go back to baseball in New York. Look at that fellow in the batter's box. Doesn’t he remind you of Delphine ’Casey' Herrera? It's Delphine, and he’s playing ball for the Yankees. You just saw the mighty Casey strike out. While we’re in New York, we'll see a circus. There are elephants and other things in the ring, including Cordy Martinez. Look, Cordy is featured as ‘The World’s Smallest Giant.’ What’s this going on in Greeley? Mamie Mackey, the brilliant woman politician, is campaigning for the first woman senatorship of Colorado. In Durango, Ramona Herrera, the girl whose pet peeve in high school was sad songs is now a radio star---singing 'A Hatful of Tears’ over K I D P. What’s that pilot doing at Peterson lield? He must be trying to kill himself. No, it’s Mary Enriquez. She’s a test pilot for the Hoeing Company, and she’s flying the world’s first atomic powered plane. And last we switch to Chicago to see what R. II. Scott is doing. Why! He’s the ace photographer for Esquire magazine. He’s taking pictures of all those pretty girls at the Studio. That was the last Senior. Now Station I G.N A C 1,0 takes you back to your regular television programs. Ihank you. This is Andy Duran signing off. by Andy Duran

Like the forty-niners who traveled ’cross the land, We started twelve long years ago, our future still unplanned. Twelve long years that were not long; yet from them each derives The things we find essential to live our future lives. Their fortitude, derived from God, helped them when distressed. We met that fortitude in school, with which our land is blessed. We’ve learned to work for happiness. We make that work complete Whenever we spread happiness to everyone we meet. We’ve learned to work and go ahead; to make our lives worthwhile. And all the bumps along the way are softened with a smile. They had courage. They had strength. And we are proud to say That we’ve acquired strength and courage in our travel on the way. t. L L We find that money’s not the thing which we should strive to get; Eut friends--and the best in all we do--will make us better yet. Each sets a goal--success; the top--with education first. Knowledge fills up emptiness; knowledge conquers thirst. We give our thanks to teachers who supplied the helping hand; So we could match the forty-niners who would not give up their stand. We give our thanks to parents, for their kindness, thoughtfulness. As we go into the world this year pioneering for success. Name-’ 49ers Colors-Blue and White Flowers-Sweetpeas and Carnations Motto-Education is the food of success. On a basis of four year scholarship, the Seniors rank as follows: Clarice Mackey, 1st; Eloise Hallsted, 2nd; R. II. Scott, 3rd; Dale Riggin, 4th. At Commencement on May 20, Eloise Hallsted will deliver the Valedictorian address; R. H. Scott, the Salutatorian address, and Clarice Mackey, as class poet, will read the class poem. I
