proves to slightly warmer. Here we see a long column of red-coated mounties led by none other than General George Allen. Our magic fuel almost exhausted, we turn again to the U. S. A. As we come in view of the Statue of Liberty, we see the familiar face of Rita Petri busily polishing the torch of this famed statue while studying her play part for the South Atlantic . Suddenly a silver streak whizzes by; and, as we look into the cockpit, we see none other than Professor Doris Potter taking her second trip to the moon. From this point of view it seems that the old class of 1956 has been successful in gaining fame and fortune for themselves throughout the world. Everyone is looking forward to a reunion in the near future. Without further adieu, we hereby declare the Class of 1956 officially exiled from the Meredosia-Chambersburg High School until the year of 2000 , when they will again be reunited for a formal dinner to be sponsored by John D.

largest circus in the world which specializes in the performance of fleas, under the direction of Jo Ellen Steinberg. As dusk falls, we find ourselves in China where we are greeted by the tantalizing smell of Chop Suey from Fonda Petri's Night Club in the Aristocratic section of Singapore. We cannot leave Europe without stopping in Gay Pari. Here we see Betty Lou Allen Dior, designing faboulous clothes for the Cor- onation of the Queen of France. Flying on to Italy, we see a beautiful house on the Mediterranean. To our surprise, Vera Kay Fricke lounges on the veranda, and she waves to us as we pass over. Onward we soar on the fulttering folds of our magic carpet toward the vast jungles of Africa. Whom do we see? Tarzan? No! It is none other than Du Wayne Rausch and his trusty guide. Tucker Ruyle. We find them enjoying a hearty meal of bananas and coconut juice. Thinking it isn't safe to hang around, we meander over to Arabia; and, as we look groundward, whom do we see but Warren Dickman being entertained by his beautiful harem. Once more upon our merry way, we travel for a short period and soon arrive in Australia. We see a hopping herd of kangaroos being rapidly pursued by Norma Workman, The Kangaroo Heiress , driving the herd to a nearby water hole. While still in the hopping mood, we jump right over to South America and stop to see the annual Fiesta and the ensuing Bull Fights. Charles Allen takes top honors as the Brancho of Bull Patch ? Embarking once more upon our journey, we glide leisurely around Cape Horn and direct our magic carpet toward Alaska, the Land of the Northern Lights. Here we find Darold VanHyning and Ed Scheer employed at the largest artificial icycle plant in the world. Shouting mush , we quickly depart from this land of snow and ice into Canada which 18

C LASS W I L L We, the Seniors of M. C. H. S. being of half sound mind and body do declare on this twenty-fifth day of May, nineteen hundred and fifty-six, that the following is a true and correct copy of our last will and testimony. We, the Seniors, will to the faculty our regular habits, punct- uality, and the excuses we are so good about bringing from home. To the Juniors, we will our ability to hold quiet class meetings and all our Senior dignity. To the Sophomores, we will our ability to hold long arguements that never get us anywhere, and our extreme quietness in the halls. To the Freshmen, we will our fondness for cokes and candy bars, and our skill for hitting the waste basket with our chewing gum. I, Betty Lou Allen, leave my volleyball ability to Bonnie Edlen. I, Charles Allen, leave my hot-rod ability to Ronnie Potter. I, George Allen, leave my ability to sleep in classes and get by with it to Ronnie Potter. I, Warren Dickman, leave my basketball technique to Ronnie Ellett. I, Vera Kay Fricke, will all the sour notes in chorus to Mary Jean Steinberg. 1, Marcella Gregory, will my ability to argue to Rebecca VanDeventer. I, Judy Hobson, will all the gum wrappers from Democracy class to Mark Unland and Mr. Major. I, Sandra Little, leave all the cob webs in the corners to Spider (Mary) Gregory. I, Curtiss Muntman, leave my membership card in the alcoholic anonymous club to Jim Rausch. I, Mardell McDaniel, will nothing. I need everything I have.
