Jackson is a missionary serving overseas in Red China. Every Sunday morning he wakes up to Steve Bright's organ music. Kenny let us off up town near the show. We fell over when we saw a poster advertising the show playing. One of the producers was our old sponsor, Mr. Heironomus. The name of the show was I've Got Troubles. It really gave us a thrill to find out the class of 67 is so successful. Pat Pankey Denny Long Co-editors 28

Kenny Frye was the elementary school principal. He says he loves little kids. Kenny has three secretaries. They are Patty Ledgerwood, Brenda Walton, and Shirley Brock. Rick Anderson is the caretaker of the grounds. We could see him working on the ball diamond. We had been on the run all day so we decided on a little recreation. That night, we headed out towards the bowling alley only to discover Calument II stood where it once did. It was supervised by Jim Medina and Donna Parsons. Janet Felton and Rita Strick- land were at the door and Jokay Harkness ran the purple light. Inside we met Norma Craig, who is now a prominent member of the Moose Lodge, and Major Gary Byrd who was just back from Viet Nam. Gary was the best pilot the Viet Cong had and he shot down more American aircraft than any other American pilot. John Lagle and Susie Perkins were waltzing on Calument ll's dance floor. They seemed to be getting along quite well. Ken- ny (Lyle) Olsen is the Calument's bouncer. While we were there, Ronnie Richardson and Patsy Gregory told us about their lumber company. About nine o'clock, we left and went back to the pool hall. Tommy (Cow) Davis, the new owner of the Marathon gas station, was there playing nine ball with the King. Boy, some of those things Jerry said! It seemed Tom was just a little bit sloppy. That night we stayed at the Abner, run by Sandy Holman. Her staff of personnel in- cluded Rod Cochran, Theresa Vollmer, and Alan Nonte. Next morning we called a cab. One picked us up after we waited about an hour. The driver of this old green taxi was Kenny Parsons. He told us Alma Hanger was an accom- plished foot doctor (Podiatrist?), and Neal Williams was a sound expert for CBS. Neal 27

e a »4 clliAtory If early in our freshman year we had selected a class photographer, by now he would have a choice selection in his album. As frehsmen, the snaps would show little, scared students wandering aimlessly around the halls. For our class officers that year, we elected Steve Bough as president, Pat Pankey as vice-president, Jenny Hedrick as secretary and Brenda Walton as treasurer. During that year we found the courage to sponsor a sock-hop and have a class party. Sophomore snaps would include our class officers proudly lined up. President, Steve Bright; vice-president, Ann Hall; secretary, Brenda Walton; and treasurer, Patty Ledger- wood. More good pictures could have been taken by snapping the group of boys that took part in sports during our sophomore year. We could also have taken a picture of our two varsity cheerleaders, Diann Inman and Carla Reinhart. Again that year, we sponsored a sock-hop. Our junior portion of the album would really have been crammed. More class officers: President, Ronnie Richardson; vice-president, Kenny Frye; secretary, Patty Ledgerwood; and treasurer, Norma Craig. We had finally realized the hard work we had ahead of us. We might have taken a few snaps of people carefully carrying fruit cakes all over Loogoo- tee. It was our year to manage the concessions at ball games and we made the best of it by bringing in a lot of money. Finally, splurging all our money, we were host and hostess- es at a Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. Our book would really groan over all the beautiful pictures that could have been taken that gala evening Under the Magnolias. Senior pictures would include the annual staff slaving away to meet the final deadline, senior class meetings trying to decide which cover to have for the yearbook, and the an- ticipation of the sectional. Class officers for our final year were: Rod Cochran, president; 29
