Meandering past the jail we looked in the bars only to see Lynn Hunt. Going in to see him he told us about his robbing a 22 caret diamond from a Maupin jeweler. The F.B.I. still hadn't found out where he hid the diamond, but the .Alcatraz authorities were getting very suspicious about his continuous stomach aches so they sent him here for observation. Lynn told us where Frankie Mahaffey worked so we went to see her. Frankie always wanted to be a psychologist so she could work with people. She didn't exactly get what she wanted. . . she now is taking care of the animals at the zoo and trying to find out their problems. Georgia Gray was at the zoo, too. She was printing a paper for the people to read while passing through the monkey land. While looking at the animals in their cages we would see a hand reach in and then disappear. Walking to the other side we saw Fred Iverson and Darrell Ashley. Not recognizing us because of their long hair hanging over their eyes, they begged us for 1 0£ for a cup of coffee. It was their hands that were stealing the animals food. Ruth pushed back their hair and was starting to scold them when they recognized us and started running. We later found out that they had taken up the occupations of being bums. Ruth and I vowed this time that no matter who we saw we weren't going to stop and talk with them because we would miss our crippled man. A septic tank truck stopped beside us and a red headed girl asked us if we wanted our septic tank cleaned. It was Don Niswender and Dorothy Hansen, or I should say ased to be Hansen. They said they were prospering in the business but sometimes got tired of it. They soon were going to retire and let their 12 boys take over. [ couldn't help but gasp when she said twelve, so she explained that they were Cheaper by the dozen. Earl Aulman was their hired man but they couldn't trust lim to drive since he was always running into posts along the road. Earl still lad the desire to build antiques. Standing by the hole in the ground waiting for our mysterious man Reba Goss valked past. We always knew that Reba was fast but we never realized how fast. 3She studied to be a dentist before she had to quit because of people constantly siting her fingers. After she quit she married Don and now has three boys. Reba's latest job is being a test driver for airplanes. She's had her arms broken i couple of times by the pressure but she said it was worth it because of the good say check each week. After Reba walked away our mystery man came up. His clothes were dirty ind wrinkled. After we asked him why he stayed under there so long and he had inswered us, we discoverd by the voice that it was Lloyd Holliday. He said he vorked for the sewer gang. He explained that he didn't come up to eat his lunch Jecause he stayed down there and played dice games with the other boys. We alked with Lloyd for awhile, then returned to our satellite. Stepping in and starting off we heard a muffled sound. Was it going to crash we wondered? investigating around we found our class advisor Mr. Monroe locked in a room tot able to move. Some college kid had robbed him and then left him in our Satellite gagged at the mouth. He insisted on staying with us so he could fly over lussia and see for himself if the behavior of their school students were better han those in the class of '56 at Maupin Hi. r We'll be seeing you, Good-bye. 17 .B Ruth and Susan

CUSS PROPHECY The year. . . 1966. Just 8 years after the first satellite was shot up into the sky by the United States. Ruth and I were trying to catch a flea mongrol in our dog catching business when a scrap of paper flew into Ruth's face. Fanning through it we saw an ad for two volunteers to be the first people to liveon the satellite. Letting the dog i off we got to thinking of being up there and never again having to chase dogs. On the satellite while looking around through our telescope we saw a crippled, hunch-back man. He'd go under the ground and not come out until late in the evening. Our curiosity got the best of us ! We soon were landed and started investigation when we saw our school friend Jack Hawkins. We noticed the bandages and bruises but asked about the crippled man instead. He said that he didn't know anything about him so we asked him about his injuries. We got our answer, None of your business. After pumping him for over an hour he reluctantly told us that Juanita sometimes gets hot tempered and starts laying it on him. Her main weapon was the rolling pin. Walking along the street we saw a woman chasing a man which reminded us of our dog catching days. . .fun all day only to get nothing. Feeling sorry for the poor woman and deciding to help her we started running and caught up with her. Ruth gasped, LaVelle. She told us she was getting pretty desperate and now had to run after the men but she didn't know how long her heart would hold up since it was in pretty bad condition. We also noticed a few gray hairs. We went back to the place where we saw the crippled man. Soon he came up but since he was a stranger we felt funny about asking him why he stayed under the ground all day. We were standing there with blank faces when I felt something crash into me. It was Ron Paulson and I found out it was a baby bugg)’ that had almost pushed me over. It was easy to understand the incident when I ‘ saw him trying to push two carriages with each arm. Ron said Two sets of twins are sure hard to raise. He also told us that Paul Peck was working at the museum so we started on our way to see him. On our way to see Paul we heard a soprano voice from up above. Recognizing the voice of Dolores Sanders we went up to see her. During her spare time she ! is now singing in the local town opera. She hopes to sing in the Metropolitan Opera. Leaving Dolores we soon found Paul. He was sitting on the museum lawn trying to fix a mouse trap. We soon found out why he had aged so. He's still trying to find out what green cheese is made out of. Paul also borrowed $5. 00 from us and blushing said, Those moon lots I am buying are quite expensive. . On the other side of the museum was a college. Paul told us that Charlene Lease was there studying to be a bugologist. Charlene's still trying not to get kicked out over twice a week. She said I'm doing real good. I've only been kicked out once this week. The day we saw her was on a Tuesday. While walking over to the place where we saw the crippled man we met Mary Lou. She very proudly told us about her four boys and how they think they will make good basketball players. She said that Roy insisted they won't have trouble untangling their legs and picking up their feet like he has. We saw the tallest man ahead of us. Wondering who could ever be that tall we rushed up to see. It turned out that the man was a woman named Pat Salsber Patti said, in her low voice. That she was wearing Uncle Sam's suit to attract attention. Someday she hoped that a talent scout would spy her and give her a screen test. When we asked her how she grew so tall she shyly lifted up her pan leg to show a blond pair of stilts.

HISTORY In the fall of 1952 twenty-six nervous Freshmen walked into the halls of Maupin High School. They were the largest class in school at that time. Soon the newness was worn very thin by a hearty initiation from the upper class-men. The class members were: Darrel Ashley, Nancy Barber, Ann Beebe, Mary Lou Beebe, Lois Douglas, James Ely, Reba Goss, Georgia Gray, Dorothy Hansen, Marian Johnson, Frankie Mahaffey, Paul Peck Jr., Albert Pierson, Susan Prash Walters, LaVelle Webb, Earnest Whitecotton, Nancy Blodgett, Lowell Bloom, Lorna Davis, Jack Hawkins, Lloyd Holliday, Lynn Hunt, Fred Iverson, Charlene Lease, Ronald Paulson, Dolores Sanders, and Ruth Whites ell. With Miss Bonney as advisor the class elected Paul Peck Jr. , President; Frankie Mahaffey, Vice President; and Dorothy Hansen, Secretary; as the class officers. At the beginning of the Sophomore year these students had dropped out; Nancy Barber, Lois Douglas, Ernest Whitecotton, and Marian Johnson. Nev members in the class were: Gay Meyers, Ann Archer Morrow, Ronald Parker, Joe Dillon, Shelby Wood, and Don Niswender. Under the advisorship of Mr. Jeffers the Sophomore class elected their officers as follows: Reba Goss, President; Lynn Hunt, Vice President; and Frankie Mahaffey, Secretary. The class sponsored several dances and othe class activities, (Plus the taking care of some white rats and snakes in Biology. ) At the first of the Junior year Ann Beebe, Gay Meyers, Alberta Pierson, Nancy Blodgett, Lowell Bloom, Lorna Davis, Joe Dillon, Shelby Wood, and Ann Archer Morrow had all left Maupin High. Betty Shaublin was the only new Junior, however she dropped before the end of the year. Mr. Chamberlin the class advisor conducted a meeting the first week of school where the class elected Ron Paulson, President; Dorothy Hansen, Vice President; and Frankie Mahaffey, Secretary as class officers. The juniors started the year out being very busy. They sponsored dances, a blanket raffle, and many other school activities. In the spring of 1955 they put on their first class play Panic on a Pullman. Following on the heels of the play came the Junior Senior Prom and the Junior Senior Banquet. The Senior class which entered Maupin High School in the fall of 1955 hat lost James Ely and added Earl Aulman. Patti Salsbery later joined them. This made a total of 2 0 Seniors, most of them originals but a few of them ha been added gradually through the four years of high school life. The class elected Mr. Monroe as their advisor; Ron Paulson, President Jack Hawkins, Vice President; and Susan Walters, Secretary. The Senior Ball was the first big thing the class sponsored. It was followed with a couple of school dances. Then there was an all out effort when they put on their class play Mums The Word in the early spring. The rest of the year the Seniors were quite busy preparing for their graduation, kip day and the other activities necessary to finish their Senior year.
