We've loved our dear old Alma Mater And have been loyal to our school, We've learned a heartfelt self-respect By obeying every good old rule. The teachers have been grand to us And shared our troubles day by day, They've taught us all we know In a spirit kind and gay. We've found friendships in each other That will last throughout the years, And we'll reminnence these memories Through laughter and through tears. Then when we've gone our separate ways With these memories in our mind, We'll know that the grandest class of Milan High Is the Senior Class of l9h9. 9 29

lass roplzecy In the year 1960 as I was strolling down a busy street in a-strange city I heard a girl singing, I looked in the window and there was my old school mate Cary Rice practicing for an audition. Of course Billy Smith was there too trying out for the leading role in an opera. I got in my car and started driving. I just kept going on going straight un- til I saw a policeman raise both hands motioning for me to stop. Who could this be but R. T. Mangrum. It so happened that R. T, was just getting off duty so he got in the car with me, He directed me to a big mansion on a huge farm, Sitting on the porch reared back in a rocking chair with a big cigar in his mouth, was John McNail, William Miller, and Ken Carruth. Three confirmed bachelors. They invited us for dinner and said they would phone a few friends to come over. AS they were showing us through the house I noticed two of their hostesses were Betty Bolerjack and Julia Dodson. Through conversation I learned that Ken, John and William had saved their money by swearing off of women, of course, some more boys started off with them but Robert Holt and Robert Appleton just couldn't stay away from Jane Cantrell and Joan Tate. They were both share-croppers on the farm. They 'b0t1'1 had large families. As the guests begun to arrive I realized that it was like a class reunion. Jackie Bramley and Johnnie Ruth Holder both were housewives and tied down with their families. You could see this plainly as their kids were squalling when they came in the door. The phone rang and it was Dymanite Tharpe calling and saying that he would be unable to come because he had to referee a wrestling match. Joyue Browning and Joyce Ann Cantrell were there for a few minutes as they had to rush back to the hospital. They are both registered nurses. Joyce Ann had an important patient with a bad knee. He was some professional basketball player named Atkins. Melvin Bruce and James Watson and Jake Doyle came in all dirty and greasy after a hard day's work at their garage. Of course they were still single men. R. C. Clarke happened to be operating a big dry cleaning shop and was unable to come since he had so much work. Beth Coleman and Joyce Rauchle came in very much elated about the new antique music box, and old flame of Beth's had sent to her. Mqry Nell Coleman and Maxine Kernodle were successful musicians in a famous symphony orchestra. Pollyanna Young at this time owned a theater. She invited us down after our dinner. You'll never guess who her business manager was and that's right - Billy Couch. James Dedmon, Jimmy Penn and Steve Stephens were suqeessful coaches dt a large university. They had an important ball game and were unable to attend. Wayne Estes and Bobby Hazlewood arrived in full fashion in their lim- ousines, They had entered the medical profession. Lanell Owen was their secretary. They said that she was a confirmedold maid. Nelson Dickey and Bobby Manner were working in a large chemistry plant. They have just discovered a new element. Looks like Mr. Odle taught them something after all. Hink Williams and Gerold Goodwin had gone in partnership. Gerold raised vegetables on his farm and Hink sold them in his ultra-modern grocery store. They tell me all of Gerolds kids look like ants picking strawberries in his big field. Alone as usual, Bobbie Frazier came in out of breath. She had to slipaway from here two little boys and Billy Ray. You see, they wanted to come along with her, but she said this was no place for the Navy. 30
