A cute little sophomore arrived from Allison the. form of RUTH LOPEZ. Old Brick has never been peaceful since, for Ruth is restless and full of pep. Ruth' plans to go to San Diegoy and continue school, but we believe that a certain junior will change her mind and cause her to settle in Cuba, New Mexico. V From sheepherder's paradise, Alamosa, Colorado, came a tall, intelligent-looking boy named LEROY Miner FERNANDEZ. The name Miner is not too appropriate for him, since he's interested more in agriculture. As we read his palm we find LeRoy owning a large estate in the San Luis Valley. Good luck, Miner. One autumn day Miss Moody, while doing her work in the office, glanced out of the window and saw ALFREDO PADILLA coming through the arch. She never dreamed that she was see- ing the future movie star of our class. Alfredo came to us from the town of Truchas, New Mexico. His only ambition is to become a minister. The latest of the contributions to our class arrived this year. We find TITA ROYBAL a very quiet and sweet girl whose future is uncertain, but we know she will become a success in whatever she undertakes. In 1951 ISAAC Syco GALLEGOS arrived here from his mountain home in Antonito, Colorado. He came as a shy, small guy, and one who was very handsome. He soon got into things and became quite popular with the gals! Isaac wants to go to college and in 1980 we see Isaac as a leading business man in Truchas. We wonder why Truchas, Isaac? A handsome young boy came in 1951 to Menaul as a wide-eyed sophomore. TOM WHEATON likes to play basketball and is quite talented. In the future we see Tom as a jet pilot in the Navy. Happy flying, Tom. In '52 a young girl came looking for a place she called Manuel School. This young girl was LOU FERNANDEZ from Alamosa, Colorado. Her good humor and personality make her a likeable girl. In the future we see Lou as a history professor at Adams State. NELSON Ergo GONZALES came to join us in '53. He is from the metropolis of Taos, New Mexico. Ergo is always seen around Old Brick checking up on the girls. That seems to be his favorite pastime. As we gaze into Nelson's future we see him as a teacher in the Duke City. It was the year 1951 when a young, quiet girl came to Menaul trying to find her big brother. Yes, that was ELSA RENDON from Denver. Elsa is a shy girl but when you get to know her she's lots of fun. As the years roll by we find Elsa as an R.N. at Denver General Hospital. The beauty of our class came to us in 1951 from Dixon, New Mexico. CONCHA GRIEGO is noted for her sense of humor and also for her interesting personality. With Concha there's never a dull moment, and if you want a jolly conversation, call on her. Concha has decided to follow her friend's footsteps and study nursing in Ohio. , PHILLIP Dimples MEDINA comes from colorful Colorado. He has been immediately liked by everyone. Phillip is a quiet, smiling fellow whose ambition is to join the navy. We see Phil swabbing the decks on the U.S.S. Colorado. Last but not least comes one of our fun-loving girls from Dixon, New Mexico, in the person of Christina Vialpando. Chris, who enjoys youngsters, tells us that her ambition is to become an elementary teacher. Patience, Chris! With these words we, the class of 1954, conclude our days at Menaul and look forward to the future. Page Seventeen

One bright and sunny day, from the hills of Ortiz, Colorado, a young, peppy boy named WALTER ATENCIO came to join our family. Coach, noticing his athletic possibilities, gave him the eye. Yes, Coach was right. He turned out to be a good player. We predict that Walter will stick around Albuquerque until a certain junior girl graduates. By 1960 his ambi- tion of coaching will be attained. The second of the McBride family came to Menaul in 1951. We find BUDDY MCBRIDE a quiet but cheerful kind of fellow who is seen in Old Brick visiting a certain junior cheerleader. In the crystal ball we see Buddy a successful doctor in Albuquerque, and by this time this certain junior will become his nurse. .Nice combination! What have we here! Oh! yes, Shakespeare, the second! JOYCE ARELLANO, the poet of our class. Joyce came to us in l951 from the metropolis of Chamisal, New Mexico. She has not as yet decided what her plans for the future are, but we are sure she will be a success in what- ever she undertakes. Better known as professor, MARCIAL CERRATO came to us from the deep, dark jun- gles of Honduras, Central America, in 1952. M arcial is considered one of the brains of our class. He has mastered English very well. As we gaze into our crystal ball we see him engineer- ing a government project in Honduras. One sunny day in the fall of 1951 a little fawn came to Menaul in the form of GENOVEVA ROMERO, better known as Bambi Bambi is an all-around girl noted especially for her athletic ability. After she takes her nurses' training, we see her as a registered nurse in Santa Fe. Who's there, Bambi P E The most talkative and also the jolliest member of our class is FLORILA MONTOYA. She is a very friendly person with high idealsg she is a little package of joy sent to us from Truchas, New Mexico. Our crystal ball says that Flo will become head nurse in the big city of Belen, New Mexico. The dancer of our class, YMELDA MONTANO, hails from Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Ymelda is a talented girl, and she is very poetic. fAll her poems seem to be about lovelj In the future we see Prieta as a leading journalist for the Mexico City Daily. Good luck! From the enchanting little town of Cuba, New Mexico, a young boy came demanding a place at Menaul. LEROY MARTINEZ then decided it was a good place to stay, and remained for three years. He is a sensible, cheerful boy whose ambition is to acquire a higher education. LeRoy has won a scholarship to the College of Emporia, Emporia, Kansas. The all-around guy of our class came to Menaul in '5l. ELI ROMERO came as a shy sophomore and a quiet fellow. He is not so shy now, for he seems to make certain girls swoon. You know who! As time goes on we see Eli as a leading business man in the city of Mora. When PAULINE MADRID Hrst came to join us we thought her to be a bashful girl, but after seeing her for three years we have changed our minds. We see Pauline now as a cheerful and active girl. Pauline plans to be a physical education teacher. There is a bright future wait- ing for Pauline in Ranchos de Taos. GLORIA MARTINEZ is the singer of our class, and is a quiet, thoughtful girl. fBut you ought to see her at the dormlj Gloria comes to us from Ranchos de Taos. She has great sing- ing ability, but her mind is set on becoming a dental assistant in the navy. We wonder why? Crying and calling for her Mommy, SUSIE RIVERA arrived at Menaul. Susie is a native of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico, but she moved to Albuquerque when quite young. As we see her future, Susie acquires a higher education at the University of New Mexico. Page Sixteen
