And lo J as I look closer I see a trim street lined with white bungalows. It seems as if a few of the class of 47 are leading happy married lives. Among them are Betty and Earl B., Shirley and Vernoy, and Agatha and Pedro. The scene shifts: A capable career woman (Nancy Tate) is addres- sing a large crowd on the subject of Business Administration. There seems to have been an engineer’s convention, and we know 3 of the del- egates: Bobby Gene, Brent, and Bruce. The crystal dims, then brightens and I see a poor professor, Wil- lard Haney, being besieged by a group of housewives who want better grades for their offspring. It seems that Sonia and Roy are on the faculty and that they give everybody D on deportment. Dorothy Hawkins is head of the attacking army, and is ably assisted by Edna, Dorothy Beverly, Wilma, Leeota and Bobby Lee. The lights flicker and then brighten and I see a large establish- ment with the name Elite Clothes for the Elite . A crowd of customers are entering and you can be sure that those secretaries, Eleanor, Mabel, Joyce and Mildred will always know what to wear and when to wear it if they take Jeanette ' s advice. Again the scene changes, and I see Claude Large sending a telegram to Kenneth Profitt, a prominent chemist and Ben Spradlin, a forestry expert. And we all know the telegraph operator; it ' s Jean Dean. As we peep over Claude ' s shoulder we read: Come at once, potato bugs are ta- king over the farm. What can I do until you get here? Once more the lights flicker and dim and I see a hospital room. We know two of the patients, Earl D. and Lester, and I wonder, if they try to hold Mary Jo ' s hand even when they ' re asleep? I always heard that nursing was an interesting profession, Mary Jo. When I look at the crystal again I see two giant liners leaving port. Waving good-bye are Jean and Rose, each heading in different di- rections--© for England, the other for China. But we ' re sure they ' ll meet again someday a3 will all the class of ' 47. The crystal is comp- letly blank and so we say So-Long, Wise Hi J I, Dorothy Beverley, leave my chemistry brains to anyone who takes chemis try. I, Mary Jo Rule, will any bad habits I have acquired in High School to Byron Elliot. I, Earl D. Bolling, will my positions on the Arrow and Arrowhead staffs to Hubert Berry.

Salyers, will my ability to make C on deportment to Burns Roberson. I, Shirley Skeen, will my job of working in the office to anyone who wants it. I, Billy Rose Roberts will my history book to my brother. Bob Harks, because I want to keep it and my precious memories of it in the family. I, Nancy Tate, will Byron Elliot my freedom oi speech. (Goodness knows, Miss Wolfe will need adhesive tape now. To Betty Fugate my ability to be a floating Senior. I, Jean Rains, will my position as captain of the basketball team to Amarylis Dotson. I, Dorothy Hawkins, leave to Rita Rivers my job as score keeper. (And be careful. Coach doesn ' t like it if you make errors.) I, Earl B.

I, Willard Haney, loave my gentlemanly manners to Burns Roberson. I, Kenneth Irofflt, will my quiet v.ays to Jerry Mullins. I, Brent Kennedy, leave my ability to annoy teachers to Owen Carter. (Not that He needs itJ) I, Jean Dean, will all my joys and sorrows of being a Senior to all the Juniors. I, Mildred Nickels, will my position as cheer leader to the Junior with the biggest mouth. My ability to get 60 words a minute in typing to Jerry Mullins. (He heeds it.) Ana last but not least my opportunity to get out of classes to Betty Fannon who will take my position on the s taff .
