J We miss you, Jeanie, and Wish you were here To make this annual the best, But we fear that you are far away At a place where you may rest. With wings and harp you Went away And left us your part to play, But wait for us, dear Jeanie, For We'l1 meet you there someday. But until that day, We'll remember you With the things We say and do, And We take this time and place to say Jeanie, We miss you. -Wanda Hardway. ILLUIE SWIQIE ' It LEADERS OFT THE 49,ERS '23 First, I Want to introduce, The leader of this crew, He advanced from top to bottom floor, Can't understand it, can you? He's Superintendent of District-3 And he's got a job to do, It may be small, it may be large, But he will see us thru! His name is R. C. Duncan- And it fills my heart with bliss, To think of all the times he said, What if everyone did this? Now, Thelma is his office girl. She types and types and types, She does the jobs around the school - And never, never gripes. She answers phones, she sorts the files, She runs some errands, too, If she were ill for one whole week- What would our master do? Next, comes Mr. Trueblood, So honest and so fine, He's led our daring Senior Class Through the year of '49, So, speaking for the Senior Class, He's the Dean for Martinsville High, He listens and he understands- For Trueblood's a mighty swell guy! Next, is our Custodian- Who sweeps and mops the floors, He cleans and dusts and straightens rooms, And oils up the doors. He keeps this place in order, And he keeps it spic and span, ,For he is Mr. Patchett, The school's cleaning man. Across the page, I'm sure you'll see Six men of driving wit, They drive the buses everywhere- Although the roads aren't fit. What would we do without them? Where would our school be? If these drivers didn't come and get, Poor country kids like me!

Four years are gone, four years of joy, To the most it has been so, But We must leave you now, dear School And to other places go. In all of your activities We've tried to do our best, And We believe We've helped you some Along with all the rest. As we go out into our life And trod in new found ways, Our memories Will oft return To the joys of High School days. So dear high school, and all our friends, We now bid you adieug And to the classes following us, , We wish good luck to you. 429 CQENUQLRES L f 1 E' af f ..-gg,-f '.

C, H. S. and chose as their officers, Beth Medsker, President, Ada Napier, Vice-President, Stanley Arney, Secretary-Treasurer, and Mid Carper, Reporter. Lelan Shade and Wanda Hardway were candidates for Carnival King and! Queen. As sophomores they knew their way around better and elected Dick Janney, President, Lelan Shade, Vice-President, Bill Hutchings, Secretary-Treasurer, and Pat Zachary, Reporter. Candidates for King and Queen were Mid 'Carper and Howard Davis. As juniors, they worked hard to make the Carnival, Class Play, and Junior-Senior Banquet successes. Officers of this ambitious class were Juanita Watson, President, Bob Short, Vice-President, Howard Davis, Secretary-Treasurer, and Beth Medsker, Reporter. The Junior King candidate, Howard Davis, was crowned King of the Carnival. The Queen candidate was Marj Smith. As seniors, the Class Play and Annual were successful. They felt as if they were now important and chose Howard Davis, Presidentg Wanda Hardway, Vice-President, Mid Carper, Secretary-Treasurerg and Beth Medsker, Reporter, The Senior Queen candidate, Beth Medsker, was Queen of the Carnival. Howard Davis was the King candidate. H97 lLl!E SWRIE ' 49 CLASS OF '49 'ii HOWARD DAVIS, lately deceased, paused while climbin' up the Golden Stair, wiped the sweat from his brow, and rubbed his aching back. Oh, what I'd give for my jet-propelled job, or even that beat-up Chevy I used to have. Resuming his ascent with an abrupt turn, he nearly stumbled against the Pearly Gates. Who art thou? inquired a voice which the climber took to be that of Saint Peter. It's Howard Davis. I'm wonderin' if you have a pair of wings here for me. Hast thou lived a good life? ' W-e-1-1, er, I was a heart' specialist and the only patient IA ever lost was JEANNINE EIRHART, an old classmate of mine. It was a hopeless case of heart fracture, though, her heart just couldn't take it when she lost her fifth husband. Unlatching the gate, Saint Peter decreed that he might enter on a ten-day trial. As he passed through the wondrous portals, the familiar voice of Mrs. Buckley greeted him, Welcome, Howard! She gestured toward an ebony blackboard on which the names of her students were written in gold. Eliminating his name with an ivory chalk, she explained briskly, I've been waiting for you, Howard. You are the seventeenth member of the class of '49 to arrive. Just last week BILL HUTCHINGS and I were speaking of you. Bill, poor fellow, choked on an auto- matic toothpick he had invented. He'd been embalmed by GLEN LEE and a fine looking angel he is. But I know you must be anxious to see the othersg you'll find some old friends on Cloud Number Nine. Just step into the taxi-cloud, the driver will float you there in a jiffy. Cautiously stepping into the cruising cloud, he sank back against the luxurious fluffiness of the seats. 4 Where to? asked the driver. Why, MDLDRED ELLINGTOIN, I haven't seen you since you were selling pop at Yankee Stadium. After a lengthy discussion on the merits of Pepsi and Coke, Mildred deposited him at Cloud Nine. Pushing through walls as soft as cotton candy, he found ADA NAPIER, peering through her earth-o-scope to see how Fashion Magazine, which she had edited, was getting along without her. Looking over her shoulder was MARGARET GRUBB, munching on a moonbean and waiting to check on her successor as sampler in the culinary department of Fashion. Drawing Margaretaway from her moonbean, he learned that BOB STIUTESMAN was now president of Cloud Bank and that DICK JANNEY, who on Earth had been very successful at raising purebred goats, was Chief Shepherd of Heaven's little lambs. He was even more surprised to learn that HAROLD CLAYPOOL, Esq., former wealthy financier, had been able to win his wings despite the handicap of riches. Howard took leave of the two inseparables and was wandering on in search of more old acquaintances when a lilting voice in his ear halted him, Just dropped by to say howdy-Howdy! Ma-am? Alighting on a convenient star, BETH MEDSKER, owner of said voice, brought him up to date concerning several old classmates. She herself had been a promising young artist, designing feed bags for the SHIRLEY COOK Feed Mill. NINA BENNETT role of guardian angel to her thirty-five grandchildren still on Earth kept her busy, except when she served honey-dew and ambrosia to the angels at Stardust Cafe. As campaign manager, FERN PARKER had been very valuable to her employer, ROSALIE CRAIG, who was Republican candidate for President in 1980. On the eve of election day, she was assassinated. G-Man, BOB SHORT, and his bloodhounds won fame by capturing the perpetrator of this dastardly deed. fContinuedJ CT' 3 X V' ly KJ X , , 9 ,, T?

ILUJE SSTIQIEA ' ' WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF- '23 Mr. Buckley heard Bob Inboden call Mrs. Buckley 'iHoney . Bob Stutesman ever gave a right answer in class. The seventh hour typing classtyped all period. Mr. Trueblood and Lelan didn't have a daily chat on the green carpet. Mr. Hayton didn't have his history book in front of him during U. S. History class. All the classrooms were warm on a cold morning. The annual staff agreed on everything. Slusser went on a diet. Mark Ennis found a new kind of hair oil to keep his hair down.

W J U97 ILLUIE SSTIQIE ' 49 SWING BAND '22 The swing band was organized five years ago, and has had its ups and downs as any organization of its kinds might expect. It has been able to give a good account of itself, usually in the way of furnishing music for Lodge dinners, Club dinners, American Legion dances, and for the school class plays. lt is to be noted that work in the swing bank usually results in improved performance in the concert by those members working in both. This is due in large part to the exacting demands of the rhythm structure of modern swing music. This year the swing band has made only one appearance, but we hope you will see more of it in the future. First Row, left to right-Doris Benner, Marilyn Brosman, Nancy Stricklett, Lisbeth Clark. Second Row-Mid Carper, Mark Ennis, Mr, Linn, Katie Hampton. MAJ ORETTES This season we were honored by having two outstanding girls, Sharon Fasig and Margaret Doles, to lead our band in parades and to twirl at our basketball games. Although they haven't performed too much at the games, we are sure that they will in the future. Good luck, girls, and keep up the good work. Left to ,Right-Sharon Fasig, Margaret Doles. BAND In September the band was organized under an entirely new set up. The band now includes students of the high school and the seventh and eighth grades. Mr. Elza Linn has forty members under his direction in the organization. The main purpose of the band is to promote interest in music and to provide an opportunity for development for those whose major interest it may be. Among our many activities of the year is to provide music for football and basketball games and for other community events. One of our appearances out of town was at the Newton football game. The Spring Festival at Casey is perhaps the most important event participated in by the band each year. Here an outstanding director is employed and an intense effort expanded on a program of worthwhile music which the public has an oppor- tunity to enjoy.

Now she's teaching them how to play be-bop. You'll find her at Starlight Square. Drifting up Moonlight Bay, he found KATHRYN HAMPTON sitting on a golden footstool and reading her own best seller- Three Hundred Ways to Reduce. Hi, Howard, chimed in that golden-haired angel, MARJ SMITH. Have you seen Jerry? He's looking for youg we heard you had come. JERRY BROSMAN? Here? Will miracles never cease? How'd that happen? He got hit on the head by the World's Heavyweight Champ, STANLEY DAVIS, in his last fight. Well, when you get hungry, why don't you drop in at my air castle? STANLEY ARNEY is my cook-uses all those fancy recipes he made so popular at the Waldorf-Astoria. , Oh, wait-wait a minute. Had you heard any- thing of ELIZABETH MORGAN or JACKIE ELLINGTON before you left? Well, I reckon! I saw in a Los Angeles paper that Elizabeth was a prominent society matron. She had had a big announcement party to announce the engage- ment of her daughter Jackie to the son of an oil tycoon and former model. He seized a shooting star, he was whisked away. He thought about the life he had left-his wash woman, SHIRLEY MISNER, whom he used to tease saying, O, is it any wonder with Don on your mind, That your heart is all a flutter like the washing on the line. A sudden gust of wind ended his reverie and he awoke to the fact that he was not alone for the wind had materialized into the form of MID CARPER. Rushing on to the edge of the cloud, she explained that it was midnight on Earth, the hour during which she was permitted to return and haunt .LELAN SHADE, the talkative floor walker in ladies wear who had peeked While she was trying on--a-hem-a dress. She disappeared. As he gazed downward, he recognized an old friend. Hurrying to a convenient earth-o-scope, he trained its miraculous lens to the spot. JUANITA WATSON was digging some potatoes from her farm garden. Looking down the road he saw NORA WATSON with the newest litter of pigs which had won the blue ribbon at the fair. Swinging the earth-o-scope, another familiar figure appeared. It was RITA RUTH BLUNK, the owner of a small country store. In one corner of the store sat BOB HUTCHINGS and HAROLD DURNALL listening to the radio. It was time for the Lucky Strike Hour with the new tobacco auctioneer PAT ZAACHARY. Two of the customers in the store, MARY JO EWBANK and CLARA CORNWELL pulled up a bench and listened. Saint Peter came along and asked, Well, my boy, art thou pleased with Heaven? Pete, old man, you see its this way. I've looked all over but I can't find WANDA HARDWAY and it just isn't Heaven without her so I think I'll go and look elsewhere. if 2 D Q if A K XKX C, Wu M W 'Q 'f f 11gA O 'W UIJW1' , V W vw., , E Nb s Q 4 f 9 v sql- - A .
