A shoe store she won with the name of Kinney Her manager in charge, BOBBY FINNEY. m DONNA DUGGINS at Sun Valley looking rosey, When along comes an old pal, LARRY POSEY. Gladly he offered a new sun lotion called Fisu Invented and sold by our own PAT SCISM. In a new brick house, mopping the floor, We find busy and tired BARBARA MOORE. A salesman at the door BILLY RAY SCHOLAR, Selling kitchen gadgets for only one dollar. And who do we see as commander of the Marine Corps None other than Mineral Springs' own JERRY MOORE. Then to my astonishment who do I spy EDDIE WOOTEN flying a jet way up in the sky. Several race cars I see driven by thrillers JANICE BURCHETTE, MYRA COLLINS, and PHYLLIS MILLER. Around the track, MYRA in the lead She wins with a smile this'difficult deed. There in that swimming pool I see Famous swimmer, MADELEINE CHANDLER, waving to me. Sitting by the pool, AVALENE DALTON, laughing with glee, MADELEINE is sewing something stronger than tea-Pepsi. PAULINE HAMM is famous as everyone knows, She works at Hanes making nylon hose.

A ticket he hands to PENNY PLEMMONS Who was caught for speeding through Clemmons. When in Las Vagas we find LINDA WILLIAMS A, winner at roulette, she has made millions. Then in comes MARIE HONEYCUTT in a red gown, A singing sensation, she is the talk of the town. Now we see in a Beatnik Coffee House NANCY and LINDA REEVES quiet as a mouse. Standing by patiently CAROLYN STAFFORD, a real eye catcher Waiting for artist, GALE WAAS to sketch her. Two well known criminals, J.

I find myself at Mineral Springs alone Visualizing a future that's still unknown. BETTY HALL Prophete ss 63

SMITH and ROYALL Lawyers Witnesses: Bulldog Voodoo Doll Road Rtmner This class has died as it must in order for the younger class to take its place. Thus, the never ending cycle to the top continues as the older class must pass away. Al- though she is dead, her memory is buried forever in the minds and hearts of those who so dearly loved her.
