Class flish iy I was relaxing in my favorite chair beside the fireplace last night in a reminiscing mood. I began thinking of the beginning of the educational period of my life. Way back in 1940, my mother washed my face, dressed me neatly, combed my hair and led me to my first day in Central Ward School. The first six years are a little hazy because time passed swiftly and friends came and went. I do remember, however, little things such as knocking my best boy and girl friend down to show htetn I liked to friend down to show them I liked them, standing in line for a drink at the fountain, picking paper off the floor around my desk, pulling my friend's hair affectionately, standing in the corner for punishment, and trips to the office. During these formative periods in my life I had good leaders. As I remember, Mrs. Shell ushered me through the first, Mrs. Holley the second. Mrs. Main the third. Mrs. Zeverley led me through the fourth, Mrs. Burton the fifth, and Mr. Christian the sixth. Then a great change took place in my life- -I changed from the Central Ward School to the High School. Goodness! but the building seemed large and the halls seemed to swallow me. I braved all this through the seventh with Mrs. Henderson and Mrs. Thorn as sponsors. The eighth was a little better because I was getting used to the customs. Mrs. Harris was the sponsor who helped us through the gate into high school. The Green Freshman period of my life was marked with new friendships being formed. Kenneth Gober, Donald Peters, Jimmy Sublett, Clinton Palmer. La verne Palmer, and Betty Rose Jones joined our band this year. Our sponsor was Miss Pittsenbargar. The tenth was my hesitant year. It was at this time that James McCraw joined our group while others dropped out. Some of the girls served at the Junior - Senior banquet. Our sponsor was Mr. Forrest. The Junior year was the big one. I was suddenly in the midst of working at the Junior stand during foot- ball and basketball games, being in the Junior play and helping with the Junior - Senior banquet. All of these activities kept me, as well as the others in the class, quite busy. Our play, Look Me In The Eye.” was real work for our sponsors, Mr. Rhoades and Mrs. Snell, but the result of a good play was worth the effort put forth by everyone. The banquet theme was Heavenly Bodies and was indeed very beautiful. Charles Wheat, Johnita Barnes, Jimmy Sublett and Marian Franklin made speeches. The Senior year was one of doing things- -selecting class rings and announcements, having pictures made, renting caps and gowns, planning the Senior play and trip, and looking forward to graduation. I, as well as the others, began thinking of what would take place after graduation in May. Some of the students planned to go to college, some to business school while others were going to work. Mr. Martin and Mr. Rhoades were the sponsors. Some have come and some have gone, but seven of us traveled through the twelve years of educational life together in the Maud Public Schools. These are Warren Earl Bodkin, Janette Acree. Billy Jim Collins , Sandra Eidson, Chumley Waldrop, Johnita Barnes, and Franklin Gregory. A 1952 SENIOR

As I glanced at the shelves In the city library, my eye was attracted by a thin red volume. Taking itdown, I saw the title was Who's Who and Why in Maud. Eagerly I turned the pages and read the pre- face. I'll omit the dates of birth and names of the relatives to save space. WILBUR GLASGOW, a famous inventor, has really blessed humanity with his Restwell Mattress for oysters and exercises for reducing one's income taxes. KENNETH GOBERhas his own taxi service and it's the most famous one known. He has only lady taxi drivers. FRANKLIN GREGORY, better known as Bashtul Babe, is now giving courses in love making in his own studio. LILLY FERN HEFFLEY is running a home for Old Maids and some of her star boarders are Seniors of '52. CURLEY HOLT, who was once a famous hunter, is now gun shy and spends most of his time figuring out new designs for marbles. JUNE PRICE is the owner of a Weekly Lonely Hearts Club. She guarantees results—a lonely heart. SHERRY LACEY is now an instructor in an auctioneering school. She talks all day. CHUMLEY WALDROP is teaching ballet to football boys. He says it helps them to fall gracefully. MARIAN FRANKLIN is married to a sailor and they have their own houseboat on the South Canadian River. Drop out to see them.

His loving wife, MARY JANE, pushes him on the platform to make his speeches. SANDRA EIDSON owns her own little public library. The only trouble is she would rather get ac- quainted with boys than books. JOHNNY ELWELL has been governor of the state and leader of a progressive party. His motto is All for one and that one is me. LA WANDA FINNEGAN is happy at last. She is now divorcing her fourth husband in order to marry the fifth one. BETTY JONES, who was always interested in basketball, has her own team now. She is the mother of six girls. JAMES McCRAW now owns his own used car lot. This is a step up because he was selling bicycles this time last year. CLINTON and LA VERNE PALMER have a brother - sister act in a carnival.

He says business is booming and to prove his point be is opening a green cheese factory on the Moon this month.
