As a modern housing project, Linda Vista laclced nothing in facilities. Teenage clubs, basketball, dancing, and pool toolc over the community recreation buildings. Eriday nights tound more than one couple eating popcorn and completely absorbed in the current thriller at the local theatre, enjoying the tail end ot a colce at the corner drugstore, or parked in the drive-in waiting tor those malts. 'All these things are virtually on our doorstep at Kearny and practically considered part ot our campus. 010' ,MO F 4' L 4' Q 0 yr, I S It ,- L . W 'v ll I ,f , Q . is o , 1' fm uf f I J , rf , Jil?

The Pertume Parlor in the upstairs 200 hall invariably lived up to its name whether it be pleasant or otherwise. The 300 shop building had a steady clangor ot drills and hammers.

The realization that perhaps in our future lies the answer to the present strife in the world staggers us with its immense significance. ' Because tomorrow's hope lies in the youth of today, we, the staff, are dedicating the KOIVIET to the graduating class of I947. In this small way we can say to each and every Senior, The past has been glorious fun, we will recall the tears, essentially we will remember its smiles and happiness. But the past is past and you must look ahead, for only in the future can you progress. You must loolc at yourself and Icnow that the trust placed in you is justified, for to you does the future belong. Yes. Seniors of I947, the Future is yours to shape as you wi I.

Since September I94l, the class has grown from two students the first day, Colleen Williamson and Janis King, to the present one hundred and thirty. As sophomores the class became organized, starting off with a gala beach party sponsored by the Ko-Eds, a club for Sophomore girls. The Junior year lent excitement with new class rings: play- ing ball, and eating hot dogs at our picnic at Presidio Park: and then-the prom, Tl-lE event of the year-after weeks of hectic preparation, Jo Ann l-lunt, prom chairman, produced a prom which will be especially remembered because of Van Johnson's attendance. ' September '46 finally camel The social life of the class began with the l-lalloween Party. Pine Valley was the scene of Ditch Day . . . lots of food, baseball, horseback riding, hiking, dancing. Tired but happy the groups would drift into the lodge and as they rested exhaust the julce box's rep- ertoire of songs. ' These ambitious seniors were lcept in a turmoil ordering sweaters, emblems, announcements and cards, paying dues, measuring heads for cap sizes, and finding the correct length of gowns. The two months preced.ng graduation were spent in a concerted and serious effort to get everything- grades, credits, announcements, caps and gowns, arrangements for Baccalaureate -ready so that the graduation exercises would give every one concerned the right to feel proud.

'gal' fi l'Ci ro viii fwft , We Zaugliinglq Flash . . . June IS, I967 . . . this has certainly been a year of outstand- ing, memorable events. Mars and Pluto have just been voted into the U.P.O, lUnited Planets Organizationj .... Bubble gum has at last re- placed rubber . . . and, And . . . the biggest event of the year-Kearny High School's Class of '47 held its colossal reunion at the old Alma Mater. Details of these happenings will follow .... U Flash . . . Be- cause of the lack of time on this program, we'll dwell on the last and most important of these events. Since this was a matter of international interest, your reporter was fortunate to be selected to cover it. 0 When I boarded the plane for Linda Vista the first person I saw was Peggy Irvine, the hostess. She told me that Rita Bransford was our pilot. When we made a stop in Washington, D. C., who should climb aboard and sit by me but Jean Lothspeich, who owns the New York Times, and who has married five times in an attempt to become first lady of our land - too bad she always picked the wrong candidate. Never- theless, Jean had lots to say, and she gave me the lowdown on some of her old classmates. 9 Mrs, Dorothy Hamiel Moneybag Doughmore, wife of the late Thaddeus Q. Doughmore, had another of her famous lawn parties in honor of that famous mystery writer, Donald Mussen, and another rising young author Louise Weirich, who wrote a Tree Grows in Cucamungaf' Guests included that millionaire playboy, Paul Van- der Meulen, and his 9th fiancee this season, Patsy Walker: also pres- ent were Mrs. Martha Evans Van Upsnoot president of women's club, Norma Hansen and Gene Langford of Metropolitan Opera, and Rob- ert Harris, head of the city Sanitation Department. Darwin Stokes, dentist, arrived late with his assistant, Helen Gentle. It seems they had trouble getting rid of all his women patients. 0 They were entertained by the M.E.U.G.C. lMorticians, Embalmers, and Undertakers Glee Clubj led by Boyce Brown, Henry Johnson, Tom Hart, ancl Ed Lewey, accompained at the piano by Keva Atkins, 0 By the time Jean had told me all this, our plane was over Linda Vista, We alighted and de- cided to walk to Our Alma Mater. The first thing we saw was a sign, Greasy Spoon, Joe Alford, Prop. We entered to be rnet by Joe and his head waitress, Jo Ann Hunt. Also employed there were Alice Smith, bartender, and Colleen Williamson, dishwasher. After much chatter we continued on our way. 0 We entered dear old Kearny to be met by the Attendance secretary, Colleen Biggs. After repeated salu- tations she showed us into the principal's office. Whom do you think we found filling that distinguished position but C. C. Leicht, no less. In conference with C, C, were Claudine Tillery and Emmett Smith now filling Miss Markey's and Mr. Barber's places. Also there was Merry Cummins, truant officer, who was trying to talk the other three into expelling Peggy Lee, who after all these years still hasn't learned she must not ditch except on Senior Ditch Day. 0 We strayed across the hall to the office where we found Tom Morris, head librarian. Tom told us that Bill Orth, head custodian, keeps trying to date Patsy Blount, and for why? So he can get his lunch free, because Pat runs the cafe- teria. Her head chef is Bob Johnson. lone Meyers is teaching auto shop, and Shirley Wheeler is running the movie projector in room 306. 0 We hurried out to the projection room to see the new movie, Early to Weed, starring Bill Roush and his double Bob. The picture is under the direction of Harold Bentley, former dramatic coach at MKO. Also W fr 90 e eel .BWV .gdb y l ,Jw in the movies are that famous baritone the ido of the bobby-soxers, John Ellis, and that handsome new scr en hero, Virgil Clark. 0 In the sports review saw some of the year's tstandpg football plays, de- signed by Georgia Tech's brilliant coach, o Marshall. Voted All- American this year is Gerald Doc Partain. Charlene Dellis is All- American Cheer Leader of I967. 9 We stopped for a few minutes to talk to Helen. She told us that Sue Hargis is designing clothes for men and Don Baker, tailor, is making them. They are modeled by George Rowley, who also models a new three-way stretch . . . neck- tie. By the way, George has his hair done by that famed hairdresser, Jack Bellmyer, who works in cooperation with Ed Martin, barber. He is made up by the famous make-up expert, Don Davidson. 0 lt seems that several of our fellow classmates are in show business. Dave South- wick bought a new club . . . the Club ZZ. Head cigarette girl is Helene Hattabough. The floor show features the dancing of La Vaun Taylor, who turned down several screen offers to take the position at Dave's. The orchestra appearing nightly is Betty Sturm's all male band. Carol Boehm is currently appearing at the Hollywood theater, along with Stella Pentis and Farina Belle Pittman, bubble gum dancers. Bar- bara Monteith is seen nightly at the Orpheum: she's the head usher- ette. 9 Radio also boasts of members of the class of '47. Taking over Gracie AIlen's show is Louise Mun er, with Allyn Wilson as her gag writer. Dale Nodine is r ing t e vacancy left by Mr. Anthony. Joanne Jungers has her own show- Cook Book of the Air. One of her most faithful listeners is Jack Jonte, who spends all his time composing ardent letters asking for her special recipes. Commercials are sung by The lcycles, or Three Drops and a Drip, consisting of Eleanor Repaci, Joanne Hedwall, Jo Barrios, and Robert Arnold. 0 Hearing a loud buzz we hurried out to see what was coming off . . . it was only G. G. Arm- strong in her hopped-up rocket coming to the reunion. Marge Tucker, her mechanic, was right there to see that no atoms got out of place. Wilma Gardner, assistant mechanic, was feeding uranium into the en- gine. Sammy Adcox, G. G.'s navigator, came along mostly for the ride because, as she put it, did you every try to navigate G. G.? ' lNo, thank goodnessll 0 Suddenly we were interrupted by Don Dreyer, West- ern Union boy, who handed Jean a telegram. lt was from Bea Thing saying that she would be a little late, as the oldest of her three had the measles. 0 After the commotion died down, we the campus and found Wayne Spurling setting out roses school by Richard Estevane's Greenhouse. 0 Next we ran Crabb, eye, ear, nose. and toespecialist, and her two Bitting and Dorothy Hicks. Further on we met Dr. associate, Charles Schmuckle, undertaker. 0 Seeing a and ahing women we decided to investigate. It was singing to high heaven the praises of her candidate Bill Hawks, while Christina Alvarado calmly We finally managed to get Bill away few minutes. He told us that Shirley maids and Faye Chambers is teaching Roberta Behlman still hasn't given up hope. find her ideal man. However, Shirley and reserved for her just in case. 0 We authority on beauty-Richard Baielif, who owns amnodelx I 2,01 la Some of his famous cover girls are Miriam Men- chaca, Betty Cassen, Dalia Estevane, Maysie Glover, Betty Jo Rush, Elaine Spence, Dot Sny- der, and Don Gwathm'ey. We found Don just ambling along the street and stopped to ask him a few questions, which he, in such low spirits, could hardly answer. It seems that Nickie Mid- dleton, his present flame, is working in a gas sta- tion days and attending a school for mechanics at night . . . and his true love Dixie Green has deserted him and has taken to the road. A FE- woes, we called at the office of Bates an Helms. They are running a home for decrepi felines lcats, to youl. We nearly tell over the receptionist, Carol Oberle, who was entertaining the star boarder with a ball of yarn. Carol told us that she is going steady with John Barn- ard, superintendent of city schools. They met through Johnny Hays' Lonely Hearts Club and have been going steady ever since. She's a re- porter for the Daily Moon and was on her way to cover a meeting of the Big Four -Jack Foreman, District Attorney, Carlos Hinojosa, At- torney General, Gordon Bradley, Commissioner of the Vice Squad, and his assistant, Lee Ander- son. lt seems that they are meeting to discuss the problem of Jean Mahoney Claghorn's re- tirement from politics. Jean, by the way, gave up a better career when she went into politics. She was a salesgirl in the May Company base- ment, where Chuck Mannering was elevator boy 0 Joyce told us further that Jack Moore, Am- bassador to Venus, has just been asked to re- place Coleman Litten as Ambassador to Baia, California. Coleman wants to retire and man- age wrestlers. He has two of the greatest wrestlers already under his guidance. They are Willie Mangler Keating, and Donna Choker Dreyer. Joanne Miller sells tickets for the matches at a five percent commission. ' Ken- neth Eldred is head dance master at Betty Ralph's School of the Ballet. Morgan Boeckel is said to be his most talented student. 0 There is only one classmate who wasn't able to attend the reunion. Mrs. Carol lGrowl Sutton is in a sanitarium for the mentally unbalanced. lt seems that she suffered a nervous breakdown caused by missing an episode of that thrilling soap box opera, HPORTIA FACES JOHN'S OTHER MOTHER-lN-LAW, starring that famous young Star of stage, screen and television, Judith Crush. Carol is under the care of Dr. James Carroll, eminent psychiatrist. There is some hope for her recovery. We speak of Evonne Berry in hushed tones. She's running a Speakeasy on the other side of the tracks. Some of her most frequent customers are Bob Press, bookie, who is always looking for a sucker who'll bet on one of his hot tips, Ronnie Light-fingers Mikkel- son, and Public Enemy Number IV2, Buddy Killer Douglas, his moll, Janis King, and his right hand, man Ezra Slugger Schaffer. ' Just as Jean and l were ready to leave for the air- port we saw a sign, HMARRIAGES PERFORMED DAY OR NIGHT . . . BILLIE MARQUIS, JUS- MALE hobo, no less. Leaving Don with h l TICE or THE PEACE. We stepped inside to find Justice Marquis in the midst of a wed- ding ceremony, while in the corner, playing the organ and wearing a sympathetic smile on his face was Dean Stolte. 0 This last being too much for us, we boarded our plane, leaving behind Kearny High School and the Great Class of I947. 0 That's all for tonight, folks. Listen again tomorrow night for more news. This is your 0 D.D.T. reported, Fleetwood Caltenborn Lewis.
