WW-mf. , ' nf LEXICO 1951 am 'FW Published by .THE SENIOR CLASS of LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Lexington, North Carolina JOAN KEARNS, Editor CORKY KING, Business Manager We have taken pictures and more picturesg we have written articles and rewritten articles in an endeavor to make this volume of the LEXICON the very best ever, and to help you relive the year 1950-1951. This year has held memories both happy and sad, of sports, of friends, and of teachers. In this annual for 1951, we have struggled to preserve for you these memories and to help you in future years to remember this year at your Alma lVlater.7' The staff would like to extend its deepest appreciation to lVlr. Wike, who was so co- operative and helpful when pictures were being made. We also thank lVlr. H. Lee Waters who did the photography and helped in a great way to make this annual possible. This annual will recall memories to the LEXICON staff of mad scrambles to meet our deadlines, worry about securing advertisements, and trying to fill the snap pages. So after nine months of hard work, we present to you the 1951 LEXICON in the hope that it will afford you and others a few brief glimpses of life as it is lived in our beloved school. 2 Dedication Faculty . .

We all look back to days of yore, To a school we hold most dear. Not long ago we were hurrying timeg We were eager to depart. But now, when the time is near at hand, We look back with a heavy heart. Soon we'll leave these familiar halls, This life we'll leave behindg But we'll go forth into a life of our own With a clear and open mind. ln years to come as we reminisce, And we think again of today, Let's lift our hearts and give thanks to God For leading us this way. LAURA KEPLEY l w 25 'C SENIOR CLASS llISTORY ln September, 1946, the present Senior Class entered Lexington High School for the first time. We were a group of excited, eager students on that first day at high school. There was a feeling of timidity, and some of us were even scared. This was an entirely new experience for all of us, and we did not know exactly what to expect. First of all, there were six periods a day, ringing bells, changing classes, and men teachers. During this first year, we came to feel a part of the high school although we were not actually considered high school students. The thrill of our first pep meeting and football game will long live in our memories. Also, there was the eighth grade basketball tournament and dance. As school came to a close, we were looking forward to the next year when we would be freshmen and real high school students. Feeling proud of the fact that we were now qualified high school students, we began our freshman year at Lexington High School. As our first class officers we chose Janet Brown, president, Carlton Everhart, vice-presi- dent, Nookie McCrary, secretary, and Jessie Church, treasurer. Right away many of our boys and girls began to take part in the activities of the school. Some of them joined the F.H.A., Latin Club, Band,.and Clee Clubg others played football and basketball. Feeling that we had completed a very successful year, we bade our friends and school good-by for vacation time. The summer months flew by quickly, and once again We came back to high school. ,We really felt important now that we were sophomores. As our very capable officers we elected Carlton Everhart, presidentg Henrietta Bruton, vice-president, Pat Jenkins, secretaryg and Lois Ann Marley, treasurer. Again our class was outstanding in ath- letics, and some of them became members of the varsity teams. Many of the girls were honored by being asked to serve at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Three of our girls became cheerleaders. The members of our class in the Latin Club gave the first Roman Banquet which proved to be quite a success. Looking forward with high hopes and ambitions for our junior year, we left Lexington High School for the summer of 194-9. As juniors and upperclassmen we felt an even greater responsibility and part of the school. Realizing that we needed the very best officers, we again elected Carlton Everhart, president, along with Burke Giles, vice-president, Lois Ann Marley, secretaryg and Corky King, treasurer. Many found their hopes and ambitions turned into reality when they became members of the honorary clubs and journalistic staffs. The football and basketball teams were made up largely of members of our class who proved their worth by helping to win many victories. The selection of our class rings was a long awaited event, and We felt important when we displayed them. To make money for the Junior-Senior Banquet, we had charge of the concession stand at the football games and also sold Christmas cards and wrapping paper. Under the guidance and direction of our sponsors, Mr. Theodore Leonard and Mrs. Fred B. Lewis, we presented the Junior Class play, HA Young Man's Fancy, which proved to be quite a success. On May 5, 1950, we gave the Senior Class the best Junior-Senior Banquet ever given a class at Lexington High School. fOf course, this is our own opinion.J We felt proud of the two boys and seven girls who served as marshals at the Commencement exercises and also of those chosen as delegates to Boys' and Girls, State. When school closed on May 31, 1950, we felt that our junior year had been well spent. The summer passed very pleasantly and quickly with various students enjoying various vacations. The long dreamed of NY had become a reality, and while in the city, students frequented it daily and almost hourly. Before we could realize it, September 6, 1950, had rolled around on the calendar, and we entered Lexington High School for our last year. We had long awaited the time when we would be classified as 'fDignified Seniorsv and enjoy senior privilegesf, However, we did not feel too differently from the other classes. Our .Senior Class officers were Corky King, presidentg Burke Giles, vice-president, Barbara Young, secretaryg and Maxine Yarborough, treasurer. We Were proud of the victories of the football team and their winning the 1950 Dairy Bowl. More and more of our class became members of the various clubs of the school. We can truthfully say that there was never a dull moment during our senior year. There were initiations, ball games, dances, class meetings, trig, themes, lab, French, and many other activities which kept us busy most of our spare time. Perhaps the most memorable occasion of all was the wonderful Junior-Senior Banquet given us by the juniors of 1951, and to them we are deeply indebted for a memory we shall treasure always. We are grateful to Mrs. Ottis Hedrick, our adviser, and our other teachers for their patience and understanding during our senior year as well as all other years of our school career. And now We realize that our high school days are almost finished, and soon we shall leave Lexington High School for the last time. Our joys and sorrows, victories and defeats have come and goneg and because of them, our lives have been closely woven together. But as in Omar Khayyam's The Rubaiyat, The Moving Finger writesg and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. So forgetting regrets and remembering the joys, we, still with a feeling of unity, will go our individual ways to face the future. RUTH Cox, Class Historian. 26 SENIIIR CLASS PRIIPHECY Oh, these modern conveniences! How did we ever get along without space ships and vacations to Mars Back in 1951? What was I doing at that early age? Oh, yes, now I remember. l was a senior at Lexington High School. We really had some good times at dear ole' L.H.S. There's never been a class to equal the class of 1951. I cer- tainly would like to go back and see what's happened to all my classmates. l think I'll ask Don Purdee if he'd like to go with me. He owns this swanky Martian hotel where l'm spending my vacation. He really mopped up when they built the inter-planetary highway from Earth to Mars. He has a franchise on all the hotels on this planet. 6'Freak, how would you like to visit some of the people in our graduating class? You say you don't re- member ever graduating from anything? Freak, how could you forget dear ole' L.H.S. so quickly? You do remember and you want to go? l though you would. Well, l'il un, climb into your anti-gravity suit and we'll be off. My space ship is in the garage being serviced, but l'm sure it'1l he ready in time for our trip. They have better mechanics on Mars than anywhere else in the universe. 'SFreak,', look over there. lsn't that Alan Bailey? lwonder what he can be doing on Mars. You say he owns the largest space ship garage in the universe? The same one that fixed my ship? Well, live and learn! He started out as an airplane mechanic and worked his way up. He's such a good mechanic that people come from all over the universe to have him fix their 'Treakf' don't you just love What does that sign by the side Engineer. Did you know that he ships. But time's a'wastin'. Let's go. traveling by space ship, especially when the roads are as good as this one? of the road say? This Road Surveyed by Johnny Griffith, Worldls Foremost Civil received the Nobel prize for the work that he did on this road? lt's just one of the many seemingly impossible feats that Johnny has accomplished. People told him he was crazy for even thinking of building such a road, but John stuck to his motto, Where there's a will, there's a way. He cer- tainly showed them that nothing is impossible. Goodness, I didn't realize that we were home. l don't believe l'1l ever get used to the speed of space travel. too old to do the job efficiently, so Norma was appointed be- Tl'1ere's Washington, D. C., Freak You've been away so long l suppose you don't even know who the President of the United States is, do you? Well, it's Don Jones, a former classmate of ours. l can't think of anyone more suited to the job than he is. He received the largest majority of votes of any president since George Washington. Every- one in the country voted for him except ten people. lt's rumored that the people who didn't vote for him are mem- bers of the now almost extinct Communist Party. Doesn't Washington look wonderful with its new buildings? Herbert Sink was the architect who drew up the plans. He is considered the best architect in the universe, and his style of architecutre has replaced the old, out- moded colonial and modern type. Herbert has been commissioned to draw up the plans for all the major buildings and houses, not only on Earth, but also on the other planets. A house or a building nowadays isn't anything unless it can boast that it was designed by Herbert Sink. Over there's the new F.B.l. Building that Sink designed. By the way, did you know that Norma Kepley is now the head of the F.B.I.? John Edgar Hoover was getting cause of the success she had in tracking down men in lingers. Look, Freak, there's Senator Don Hege entering wonderful changes have taken place in the government. life better for millions of people. He is so beloved by for president, though it is doubtful whether or not he high school. So far, not a man has slipped through her the Capitol Building. Since Hege was elected to the Senate, He has instituted major reforms in this country and has made the people that there has been talk of asking him to run would run, for he does not wish advancement for himself, but only wants what is best for the people of this country. As we travel onward, I see the law firm of Leonard and Dixon. Johnny Dixon is president of this firm and Webb Leonard is vice-president. They handle all the court cases in which the government is involved. Webb has become known as the most eloquent speaker in the law profession, while Johnny has been known to charm female members of the jury with his cuteness. Their two very capable secretaries are none other than Johnnie Mae Wallace and Carolyn Myers. These girls have instituted a new filing system which they are thinking of patenting. We've heard that this system will make all other filing systems obsolete. As we move into the suburbs of Washington, Freak calls my attention to a cute little white house with a picket fence around it. This is the home of Cootie White, the first football coach to be paid a million dollars. There's his wife, the former Jeanie Greene, helping him to perfect a new play. Oh, oh, she waved to us and missed the ball. Will Cootie be mad? We'd better get away from here, Freak. Anyway, the game between the Washington Redskins fCootie's teaml and the New York Yankees is about to begin. We certainly don't want to miss that game because Nookie McCrary is the Redskin's star player. He has caught nine hundred and ninety-nine touchdown passes out of a thousand this year. After football season is over, he will renew his contract to play professional basketball with the Milwaukee Lakers. Richard Skin Smith is now manager of this team since his retirement from the football world several years ago. Skin made all American the last two years that he played for Carolina. During the summer Nookie travels with Fred Mr, Baseball? Lohr, of the Boston Red Sox. but merely as a spectator. Freddie, incidentally, has broken all baseball records since he turned pro- 27 fessional. He has doubled Babe Ruth's home-run record, and has set new records which will probably never be equalled. No wonder they call him 6'Mr. Baseball! What's that, 'gFreak ? So you want to go to New York! Well, no sooner said than done. Here we are! Who would you like to visit first? Why, yes, l'd like to see Tommy Lopp, too. He owns the New York Times now, doesn't he? Well, here we are in Tommy's office. Let's ask his secretary, Lois Ann Marley, if he's in. He isn't? Well, that's too bad, but I'm glad we had a chance to see you, Lois Ann. What's that? You're engaged to a man who owns a chain of drive-in's across the country? My goodness, some girls have all the luck! Well, Freak, we really should leave, but while we're in New York, let's just' look around. Maybe we'll see someone else we know. A Doesn't Dr. Victor Kirkman have his ofiice on Fifth Avenue? He's a psychiatrist, isn't he? I've heard that he and his nurse, Betty Carole Bailey, are doing wonderful work bringing distraught mothers back their sanity. Just the other day Mrs. Vanderbilt, the former Betsy Stoner, went to him and he cured her almost instantly. She said those twins of her were enough to drive anyone to distraction. l certainly would like to buy a new dress while l'm in New York. Nancy Clark has some lovely new creations that have been advertised throughout the universe. l don't think women's clothes would interest you too much, '5Freak, so just make yourself comfortable here and I'll be out in a jiffy. Well, that didn't take long, did it? Nancy knew that l was coming fshe studies mental telepathyj so she had out just the dress that she knew l'd like to see. Her quick service and foresight have helped to make her the success that she is today. Since I bought a dress, I think it's only fair that we let you buy a pair of Levi's, Freak. Let's go ask Glenn Smith if he makes overalls that large. He does? Why, how silly of me to forget. He made his first million making Levi's for midgets and giants, didn't he? Of course, some of the credit must go to his secretary, Norma Butter- cup Smith. lt was her idea, and Glenn furnished the capital. Together they have built up a unique industry. Freak, we have to go. Hurry and put on your Levi's. Ready at last? Good. Glenn told me that Bobby Koonts, Blease Scott, Archie Hames, and Billy Key have started an eye, ear, nose, and throat hospital. Bobby is in charge of all the eye patients, Blease, the ear patients, Archie, the nose patients, and Billy, the throat patients. This hos- pital has become very famous. People come from all over the universe to be treated by these famous doctors. Four of their very capable nurses are Evelyn Blackburn, Anne Meachum, Sue Thomason and Evelyn g'Punkin Leonard. Evelyn specializes in treating injured football players, and Anne caters to sailors. Sue and Punkin aren't par- ticularg they just like to treat sick people. l've heard that Willis Phillips owns and operates a grocery store that's just around the corner from here. Let's go talk to him and perhaps he can tell us something about some of our former classmates. Why, there's Willis now, talking to Mrs. Maxine Russell Yates. It seems that he can't keep enough baby food in stock to feed her quintuplets, so she wants to know where to go to buy some more. Willis tells her to go to Ketner's Super Market of which Thomas Trogden is the owner. Thomas has a playground in his store where mothers may let their children play while they shop. This feature particularly appeals to Maxine since she has five rambunctious boys. tConfidentially, l think Willis has just lost a customer by telling Maxine about the playground! !J - Freak, who's that standing beside the frozen food counter? Why, it's Teeny Redwine. Teen, why are you buying all that frozen food? What's that? You're giving a dinner party tonight for Nancy Hinge Swing and her husband who've just come up from New Orleans? They just returned from Europe last month, didn't they? Honestly, it seems as if they'1'e always going somewhere! l understand the purpose of their trip was to furnish their new country estate. ls there no limit to her husbandis money? Cl'd settle for just a husbandll By the way, how are your three boys and Tim? Oh, four boys now? fl've been away too long!J l've heard that you've introduced a new way to translate French that makes it as easy to learn as English. You should have introduced it when we needed it most! Namely, back at dear ole' L..H.S. How are Amelia and Charles getting along? They have the football team they always wanted, don't they? Eleven boys! l imagine she really has her hands full. Chazz is quite a successful doctor now, isn't he? Hasn't he been invited to be the principal speaker at the World Conference of Doctors to be held in Vienna? What did you say, Freak ? You think that we should go somewhere you want to go instead of where I want to go? All right, you name it. You want it to be a surprise? Well, have it your own way! What are those girls in bathing suits doing walking around on that platform? Oh, now l get it! Freak,', you ole casanova! We're at Atlantic City watching the Miss America contest! We're just in time to see Larry Morris, the noted motion pic- ture producer, crown Mary ,lane Shirley, Miss America. Marry ,lane has starred in quite a few of Larry's pictures, but the one that really made her a star was How Bloodshot Were My Eyes the Morning After the Night Before. Larry had a small part in this production. He carried Bromois to Mary all during the picture! Here are Tommy Gregg, Burke Giles, and Joe Bafford who seem to be enjoying the contest. All three of them are in the Navy, but they're doing different types of work. Tommy is the Navy's chief test pilot. Just the other day he tested the new W X Y Z-3 plane which made the trip from Earth to Mars in just two hours. Burke is supreme Naval Commander in the Pacific and has been instrumental in bringing back the Hula dance to the Hawaiian Islands. Joe is the commandant of Annapolis and under his guidance the academy turns out the best trained Naval ofiicers in the world. Freak, who is that suspicious looking character leaning against the side of that building, shrouded in a black cloak and hat? Why, it's Corky King. He says that he's been in the Cloak and Dagger Service for so long that he's beginning to slink around corners even when he's not on duty. He came to the contest to rest, relax, and look at figures that are non-mathematical! Corky tells us that Ruth Young is in charge of training all space ship 28 hostesses for Trans Universal Spacelines. Before space ships were invented, she was an airline hostess and held the world's record for the number of flights made by a hostess. Max Church and Benny Yarbrough own this space- line which is the world's largest. Max married a wealthy debutante and decided to build a spaceline. He took Benny into partnership with him, and they were fortunate enough to secure Albert Varner to survey the land upon which they were thinking of building their spaceline. Albert had a very heavy schedule, for he was surveying the land where the new United Nations buildings will be built, but since Benny and Max were old classmates he dropped his other work in order to survey their land for them. After the land was duly surveyed, they employed ,lim Hurdle, the famous architect who specializes in drawing up plans for air and spacelines, to design the most modern space- line building in the universe. The result was the biggest and the best spaceline that has yet been built. Max and Benny have so much correspondence that they have two secretaries each. Max's secretaries are Frances Kim- brell, who takes care of all outgoing mail, and Mary He'en Morgan, who takes care of all incoming mail. Benny's secretaries are Maxine Yarbrough, who is his receptionist, and Norma Potts, who types all permanent records of the spaceline. Doris Mills is the switchboard operator, but she is kept so busy that Max says they are hiring three more girls next week. What's that, uFreak ? Yes, we do need some entertainment. Let's hop in the spaceship and Hy back to New York. I've been told that the food and the Hoor show at Leon and Eddyis is wonderful!! I wish you could go, Corky, but I understand about your having to stay on the job. Well, here we are. This is the correct address, but this sign says Henry and Don's instead of Leon and Eddy's. I wonder whatis going on around here? Thereis Don Yatesg maybe he can tell me! You mean to say, Don, that you and Henry Rogers bought this night club and renamed it? My goodnessg I just can't keep up with this changing pace! Don, whereis Henry? That big tall man over there sorta resembles him, but I know it can't be Henry for he's just a little fellow. What? Don, that just can't be Henry Rogers! You say you gave him Yate's Yellow Yitamins for Yittle Yerks, and he became that big almost overnight'?? Honestly, I just can't believe it. Let's sit down before I faint! Oh good, the floor show is just beginning. Do my eyes deceive me or do I see Becky Thomason, Marian Rowe, Billie Fritts, Peggy Bailey, and Marie Everhart in the kick-line? Don says that all of them are stenographers during the day, but at night they work at Henry and Donis, not because they need the money fall of them have large inheritancesl, but just as a pleasant diversion. Marian also does solo singing numbers. They live in the penthouse atop the Waldorf-Astoriag that is, all of them but Marie. She's married to a little country boy. Charles Swicegood is head basketball coach at C.C.N.Y., isn't he? He's turned out a winning team every year that he's been there. Of course, the fact that he has All-American Wayne Crowell helps quite a bit, for Wayne is the most outstanding player in the nation. Nevertheless, Charles can be depended upon to produce a winning team. I believe that a girls' basketball team has been started at C.C.N.Y. of which Ruth Russell is the coach. She, too, can be counted on to produce a winning team. Her teams work so well together that it is impossible to tell which player is the best. Consequently, the girls' All-American team consisted of the varsity players of Ruth's team. You'll have to hand it to Ruth and Charles. Both of them are good coaches. Henry, and Don, I've certainly enjoyed talking with you and l'd like to stay to see your next attraction, but Freak has a hankerin' for some country air, so goodbye Don and Henry, and .... Hello, ,lean Hall. Since you are one of the world's best artists, Freak wants to know if you'll draw a pin-up- girl for him. You want to call your model? Well, I'm sure that will suit Freak just fine! Here she comes now. Why, it's none other than Rachel Fritts. Rachel, I knew that you were one of the top photographers' models in the country, but I didn't know that you posed for artists as well. .lean's lucky to get as cute a model as you are, and there's certainly no one who could paint a better picture of you than Jean. She's tops! You're doing what you always wanted to do, aren't you, Jean? You always wanted to live in the country and raise registered collies and race horses, and now you're doing just that. Isn't Frank Koonts a private doctor to your horses and dogs? I don't blame you for getting him for the jobg he's the best veterinarian in this hemisphere. Also, your animals are so valuable that they need a private doctor. With all your many activities you must have tons of mail to answer. How do you find time to do all that you do? What's that? Barbara Young is your secretary, and she handles all your correspondence? That must lighten your burden considerably. Aren't your nearest neighbors Mr. and Mrs. ,lack Burkhart fthe former Rachel Kepleyl and their twin boys? Their little boys are the image of Rachel except for their red hair. Barbara McCoy built one of her country estates about a mile from your home, didn't she? You say it's a thirty room house, and she has a servant for every room? That silver mine in which she has some stock must be one of the richest that has yet been discovered. Well, Jean, we must be going. I don't know how I'll ever tear '4Freak away from this picture of Rachelg he seems to be in a trance .... '4Freak,', snap out of it!! We're back in New York and in front of Patsy Leonard's Beauty Salon. She caters to only the elite society, you know, and her styling is reknowned throughout the universe. She personally chose her three beauticians from among seven hundred applicants because working in Patsy's salon is the goal of every beau- tician. The three beauticians that she chose to help her are Peggy Summey, Barbara Harper, and Frances Everhart. You can usually hear lots of gossip in a beauty shop, so let's go in and see if anyone knows anything about any of our former classmates. Peggy Summey is giving Patsy Wooten a manicure. It seems as if they're saying something about Betty Lou Whitt discovering the ruins of an ancient Egyptian city in the Sahara Desert. Betty Lou is an archaeologist, you know, and right now she's on an expedition for the Museum of Ancient History. Betty Lou is one of the foremost translators of hieroglyphics and she is also an authority on ancient Egyptian customs. Barbara Harper is cutting Doris Everhart's hair and she's telling Doris how Ruth Cox and Bessie Lea Surratt 29 got married. It seems that both of them were secretaries for rich, good looking men, and both of their bosses realized that they couldn't do without Ruth or Bessie Lea so they married them. fMaybe I'd better look into this secretary business.J Frances Everhart is giving Jackie Snyder a permanent and she also seems to be giving Jackie the lowdown about Henrietta Bruton. Henry has been happily married for a number of years, but it seems as if she believes in children being cheaper by the two dozen than by the dozen. Yes, she has twenty-four children-twelve boys and twelve girls. She really has her hands full, but she loves it. 'fFreak, let's travel over to Carnegie Hall. Joan Kearns is giving a concert there today. Aside from being one of the greatest living concert pianists. Joan is married and lives in the country with her doctor husband. People are beginning to arrive. Look, Freak, there's Laura Kepley, Donree Johnson, and Louise Darr, the publishers of that new beauty magazine, Face and Figure. Here comes Nancy Streetman and Evelyn Moore, the owners of the chain of Street Moore Restaurants. Sitting over there are Evelyn Swicegood, president of all the Ray- lass Department Stores and her confidential secretary Evelyn Snyder. There's Lee Conrad, president of all the A 81 P stores and a fabulously wealthy man. They say he's trying to become another Diamond J im Brady, complete with gold tooth-picks. His secretary used to be Peggy Dorsett, but he paid her such a high salary that she saved a million dollars, retired, and is now living in the country. Freak,'f look who's come to write up the concert. Janet Brown, the music critic from the New York Times. She is one of the worldfs leading journalists and her columns are widely read everywhere. Janet was married a few years ago and she has devoted a large part of her time to educating her husband in the ways of music. There's Doctor Carlton Everhart and his nurse, Barbara Trexler. Carlton is such a successful doctor and he is always so pressed for time that I don't see how he can leave his oflice for even a few hours. Carlton's pleasing disposition and vivacious personality have made him beloved by all his patients. His nurse, Barbara, is quite an asset, too. She makes a trip to the doctor's office a pleasure instead of an ordeal. Why, there's none other than Peggy Edwards and her husband, and Martha Leonard and her husband. Theyive just come back from their second honeymoon. This time they toured Europe, and they really had a marvelous time. Freak, it's about time for us to travel onward. Jump aboard the spaceship and we'll be off .... We're just assing over Yankee Stadium where the Yanks are playin the Dodgers. Brasco Beck is the manager and also p 1 . 1 . g outfielder of the Yankees. His batting average this year IS around .500. I-Ie's one of the leagues better players. Just in case someone should get seriously hurt, the Yanks keep nurses Betsy Myers, Athleen Williams, and Doris Brig- man on hand to treat the injured. Betsy treats the pitchers, Athleen, the outfielders, and Doris, the umpires. fCon- fidentially, Doris works more than anyone, for umpires seem to have a knack for getting hurtli As we fly along, we see the Ford Motor Company now owned by Grant Biesecker, the multi-millionaire. His cars are designed by Tony Solomon, who is noted for putting lavish interiors in the cars he designs. Crant's chief mechanic is John Sink, who irons out the kinks in all new Ford cars. A little further along we see a small, brick house in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. This is the home of Suzanne Myers Taylor, the worldis foremost Home Economics teacher. Suzanne has taught in schools and colleges through- out the world and is very sought after, but she prefers the peace and quiet of her own little community. She has now retired in order to spend more time with her family. Also, in this little community is the main office of the chain of Richardson and Burkhart department stores. Don Richardson is president of these stores, and he specializes in selling quality merchandise at low cost. Don i famous for his integrity and good salesmanship as well as for his big feet. . . . Hey, Freak, what's the name of that dam below us? That's the Yarbrough Dam, built by Horace Yarbrough, you say? I don't see how he could have done it, but Horace is noted for his mastery over seemingly impossible odds. . . . What a beautiful grove of orange trees. It goes in all four directions as far as the eye can see. Who owns this orange grove, 'fFreak ? Kent McGuire? Why, of courseg I should have known that. McGuire oranges are famous throughout the universe as the tastiest, juiciest, freshest oranges sold anywhere. McGuire oranges are a special type of orange which took ten years to perfect. It was well worth Kent's time, however. He is now one of the richest men alive and is becoming still richer. What did you say, Freak ? You wish you knew how to breed a better orange and make a million dollars? So do I .... There's the Robertson Wig Company below us. Raymond Robertson owns this company and Tommy Hutchins is chief wig tester. It is Tommy's job to see that all wigs are neatly brushed and combed before they leave the factory. Josephine Morgan is their very capable secretary, and she sometimes doubles as a wig model. Freak,,' isn't the fight between Hoyle Justice and Gates Brinkle being televised tonight? Hoyle is defending his bantamweight crown again for the third time this year, but Cates is favored to win .... Look over there at that fire! Everything seems to be under control, however, because fire chief Hoyle Potts is on the job. He's never completely lost a building yet. All this traveling has worn me out. How about you, Freak ? You say you're about ready to return to the peace and quiet of Mars? Well, I don't blame you. We've really had a lot of fun, but traveling is awfully tiring. I think I'll go home for a long rest and then go back to Mars. Take my spaceship back to Mars with you, and when I get ready to come back, you can come get me. I'll see you in a few weeks after I tell everyone about our wonderful adventures!
