personal secretary of the electronic brain which controls our weather. Sharon no longer changes her clothes to fit the season, but changes the season to match her clothes. ELAINE FREDENBURG has had an exciting and rewarding career as an attorney-at- law. She has handled over 300 cases and lost none. Telstar has decided to replace, the out-dated Perry Mason with a modem account of Elaine's experiences. GEORGE GAUMOND, with his vast knowledge of history and his great oratorical abilities, has toured the world and its neighboring planets, giving lectures on good government and history's effect on the future. He has devised a brilliant scheme for peaceful co-existence which meets with the approval of all nations. ARLENE LYNCH went on to higher mathematics. She is now the most prominent specialist on computers and IBM machines. However, the other day Arlene got a little confused and fed the wrong information to one of the computers. As a result, our country is not in the red. DONNA MATTHEWS, who is the life of our party, is the proud proprietor of a supermarket and is her own best customer. She also is the owner of a fashion center which sets the solar styles in hair dressing, as well as in wearing apparel. No modern woman is complete unless she has a Matthews original. Donna says that she intends to design nine gowns, one named after each planet. SHIRLEY TORREY is excitedly anticipating the opening of this year's winter Olym- pic games, over which she will reign as queen. Shirley was awarded this honor when she broke three world's records in figure, speed, and pair skating during last year's competition. PHILLIP WALKER, taking the advice given to him back at ole L. C.S. to become a School Guidance Counselor, went on to success. He now runs his own L.C.S. (Lunar Comet Schools). Under his fine guidance for the past 30 years, not one pupil has missed a day of school. His secret is that he has changed the school day to three hours. The rest of the time is devoted to sports. After completing Bible School, CHARITY WARNER married Rev. Robert Donavan, a well-known missionary. She barely missed death at the hands of a wild elephant which was going to the Republican National Convention. Charity has devoted herself to her husband's work and has told us about many other exciting experiences. DONALD WILLIAMS is unable to be with us, as he is competing in the last race of his career. His goal is first place in the Grand Prize on Venus, and he is driving The Vitz, the fastest jet engine car known. Donald has already won the title of World Champion Racer, which only proves that Donnie's driving ability at L.C.S. gave him a good background for his career. t 20

I, PHILLIP WALKER, leave the Hertz-Rent-a-Car and clock radio which Jimmy re- ceived last year and I borrowed this year to Tom Madill for next year. Maybe he will have better luck being on time to school than Jim and I did. I, CHARITY WARNER, leave my good luck not to be susceptible to pneumonia after riding in a convertible (with the top down) during the winter, to anyone crazy enough to do it. I, DONALD WILLIAMS, leave my abject fear of the opposite sex to Terry Bourcy - more power to you! Lastly we hereby appoint the Beatles executors of this, our last will and testament, with full power and authority, hereby revoking all former wills by us previously made. In witness whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal the 29th day of February in the year one thousand nine hundred and sixty-four. witness Advice to the Seniors We advise GERLINDA BEDETTE to join the Navy Nurse Corps, where she can give in- jections to 6 ft. G.I.s, that is if they will lend her a stepladder. We advise JAMES BEVENS to become a news commentator because of his gift to gab. We advise RODJER BOURN to open a space-age gas station for flying saucers because he's way out. We advise LESLIE BROWN to become an optician so he will always have some spare contacts.
