lT'S Tl-IE OLD TIMERS quet with its smorgasbord table was unlike any before and called tops by everyone presentf . After an active year as luniors the 49ers began to realize we Were spending our last days at dear old Lindsay High. Even though .we were the old timers, it didn't hold us down. We still found time to show the 'town- folk We were full of pep by selling lots of stu- dent body -cards, having the most members on C. S. F, and the honor roll, and p1'es:nting a swell senior play. The fellows hadn't lost any of their athletic ability in old agej Wes Leach, captain of the football teccm, was chosen all-county and lack Verfurth was most valuable man. The girls also retained their charm and beautyg La Rea Wells was chosen football queen, and Beverly Phillips was Olive Bowl queen. Class officers for the 49ers were Alfred Anderson, presidentg lack Verfurth, vice-presi- dentg Mary-Ann Canada, secretary, and Stan Harth, treasurer. As the last days of the old timers fled by, they took a last look backward to their happy days in the old Minin' Town. They recalled the days spent protecting their senior bench, an unforgettable senior ditch day, those nice front assembly seats, and outstanding senior play, and all the other privileges or an upper classmcm. This is the time to don cap and gown and walk ,up the aisle bidding a fond farewell to dear old Lindsay High.

TAKE OFF YER HAT, BGY These here Old Timers have just about seen their last days in this ol' minin' town, but the stories of the good times we've had dur- ing our years here will be 'passed down through generations to our great-great grand- children. When we were just youngins, we started makin' a place for ourselves in the town. Bill Nesbit as leader had' Stan l-larth, Sue De-pew and Ollie Adams helpin' him out. The annual Sophomore Amateur Hour brought praise from all the townfolk, and the youngins showed the whole town up with their carnival queen contest by having one oi their prize beauties, Regina McGrane, chosen to be queen. When we outgrew our short pants and pigtails and became teen-agers, we chose as our leaders, Sue Depew, lack Verturth, Clarice Wood, and Stan I-larth. The thespians of the gang brought practi- cally the entire town out to our junior play. As teen-agers we were mighty proud of some oi the gang. Stan Harth won the zone Lions' speaking contest, Al Anderson won the San Ioaquin Valley doubles in tennis and El- don Smith and Delmar Wentworth took lots of places in track. Our class was also well rep- resented on the football and basketball co- champion squads. We showed the old timers how to give a bang-up farewell socialg our junior-senior ban-- Left corner: Jean, Betsy 'n' Nadean laugh jest 'cause they git to sit on- the senior bench.
