He's wearing nice, sensible brown loafers. just the thing for his job as TV technician. There are Norene Lang and Norene Blake in very comfy slippers. They wear them while they are cleaning their houses. Edie has on very pretty high heels. She'd get anyone's vote for the best-dressed teacher of the year. Gee, will you look at the shoes John Crown has on! I guess he has been pretty suc- cessful as an actor. Ann looks comfortable in her flats. Nearly all of the girls in the office where she is a secretary wear them. Susie always wears these oxfords when she does her house work. She says they are so comfortable. Here is Donna. She is wearing white shoes for she is an X-ray technician, you know. Richard Nelson is attired in high rubber boots. They are very important in farm work.

As I told you in the beginning, I am with the F.B.I., Footprints Being In- vestigated. But just now I feel like a heel investigating and telling you all about the private and professional lives of the senior class of 1956. So if you'll excuse me, now, Iyll be making tracks away from here.

MAKING TRACKS Prophet: I am a member of the F.B.I. Do you know what that means? So you don't know? Well, it means Footprints Being Investigated? Here on these sands in 1966 are deep impressions of footprints. The seniors have passed this way. They have been making tracks in the past ten years. Their impressions are traced on the sands and cannot be erased. They show that the seniors walked here with an upward look and a iirm tread-going places. They are unwavering and true. They point toward progress and achievement. They lead to the right places, the true goals of accomplishment in all fields of activities. You know, I can tell something about each senior by the tracks he makes. Each expresses the individual and his achieve- ment and what he is doing today. I see this in their footprints. They are all suc- cessful, making tracks-Our class president went this way. Here he goes! Mac. Look at those beat-up sneakers. Looks like Mac has been hard at work coaching that team of his. 14

FOOTNOTES We are now introducing to you Hot Foot and Time Piece. They are going to give us some Footnotes on our high school times. Many important things happened to us, and we kept a record of them. I might add that they are alphabetical in form. These notes are filed all the way from A to Z. Ladies and gentlemen, Hot Foot and Time Piece. Yeah, we have been taking down these footnotes ever since we started learning our ABC's. I never have got them straight-always mixing up notes with foot. I know them backwards and forward. Try me. Well, start with A. What do you know about A? A's for alarm-alarm clock. They made it. Thanks to the clock. I would say that the alarm clock is responsible for much of the learning we got in high school. We pay tribute to you, Alarm Clock. What about B? B? Let me see. B means bachelors. You for instance. High school bachelors like us. C? C stands for cash. The stuff I ain't got. Who has cash after paying all our class dues? What about D? D? D stands for de-feet. just take a look at de-feet. We had success in defeating Sacred Heart in the Play-Off. Well, we are down to E. Time's passing. What about E? E is for examinations-what, I hope, we never see again. Ditto. Let's pass on that. A-B-C-D-E-F-What about F? F's for footnotes, OF FOOT NOTES AND TIME, the theme of our play. That makes me think of a lot of things, Class Night, program committee, parties, cash- And Commencement time. Wonderful time in our lives. Let's pass on to G. G's for girls-senior girls, with the latest hairdos and styles. Girls, girls-all pretty girls! l H is the next. H is for homework. Forget it. Forget homework-can't. The imprint is deep in my memory. Time's immortalsl Where are we now? That sight made me forget. Remember? ? I-I do. Intelligence-what we seniors have. How about J? Why, J stands for jokes. Here are the two seniors who are always telling jokes. A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-K? What do We know about K? K is for kick. But I'd rather not explain further. Aw, come on-turn around. How did you get that foot print there? I wouldn't ask you that. Somebody sure was footy. How about L? ? L is for luck. The senior's luck, especially me-to pass. That reminds me. Time's passing. How about M? M means mascot. Here's our little mascot. You said it! l How about N? N stands for newsy. Our school paper. O is next. I guess O stands for opportunity. Oportunity knocks but once -Guess I wasn't home that day. What about P? P is for principal, of course. Q is next, and I think it stands for quiz. No, Q is for question-what teachers were always asking us. You know, I never could understand why teachers were always asking so many questions. Mr. Powell was the worst of all! Well, that was their way of learning things-asking us questions. How about R? I think R stands for the race. What race? I never heard about any race. The human race, of course. We are ready for S now. 16
