This ere Jane Huntly, Mildred Huntly, Mack Parrish, and Olen Thomas came in our class. Novmver, 1935 Dear Diary I am learning to spel better now. We have fun playing on the bars. Everyone is braking there arms. Grammer school is very big and exiting. This year the new pupils are Montell Atkinson, Pauline Hester, Helen Loos, and Bettye Moyers. Januery, 193 6 Dear Diary, A great dissapointmant came to me this year. I found out there wasn't no Santa Claus. All the girls are falling in love with the boys now. Our home room Mother broght us ice cream and cookies. Our new friends this year are Beth Avant, Peggy Bradfield, Betty Lyles, Bonnie Lyles, Gloria Parnelle, Walter Perkins, Howard Bronson, Winston Cochran, Mina Enzian, Louise Johnson, and Randolph Norcross.

Lamar sits in English class and pokes Peggy with his compass. October, 1939 Dear Diary: Now the girls are picking high school boys. And so am I. All the boys are scared of King Cole's little green ruler and everyone gives Miss Carlisle their undivided attention. New students joining us are Mark Camp, Rudolph Carpenter, Barney Muldrow, Frances Raney, Lunette Tootle, and L. A. Weekly. P. S.: We enjoyed our picnic at Juniper Springs very much and are eagerly looking forward to high school. May, 1941 Dear Diary, Entering High School with us this year were Joanne Carris, Treva Grubbs, Clare Jolly, Edward Manning, J. W. Neisler, John Anderson, Nan Futch, Marie Holden, San Jernigan, Ray Musleh, Jean Smith, Marion Thomas, and Pat Williams. We spent those first two months looking for our classes, although the boys couldn't sit down when they did find them. On the whole, we found High School very confusing. Frankie has had a crush as usual but this time Charles is the victim. Miss Rush and her Algebra have had us scared to death all year. We all discarded our dignity and had a swell time in short skirts and short pants at the Kid Party. May, 1942 Dear Diary, We began this year by ratting the freshman. We haven't done anything drastic except drive Miss Hutcherson to tears with our witty remarks. The main event of the year was our Splash Party at Silver Springs. The following were added this year: Aaron Gadd, Donald Gale, Voncile Hudson, Frances Jackson, Dalphin Thomas, and Daryl West. May, 1943 Dear Diary, Not only have we gained Neil Ferguson, Floyd Freer, Edith Goodwin, Lillian Hicks, Juanita MacDonald, Louis Smith, Ed- ward Todd, Norma Fay Vause, Alice Ruth Whitley, and De Lysle Winn, but we have also lost Melton Griggs, Reuel Shealy, Lorimer Howes, L. D. Walker, Lamar Ryals, Fred Landt, Donald Camp, Harl Atherton, and Ted Lancaster to Uncle Sam. As a result of Mr. Eff's untiring efforts our carnival was a great success. Relative to the rationing conditions, we gave the Seniors a prom instead of a banquet. Everyone has enjoyed the Our Times tests given by Mrs. Davis at unexpected intervals. March, 1944 Dear Diary, My mind is a constant whirl, My brain is beginning to curl. The Annual is driving me nuts, And my lessons aren't helping me much. ' For twelve solid years I have waited To be a senior rated, And now that I'm here I'd rather be there Than sitting here tearing my hair. May, 1944 Dear Diary, Two racing Juniors, Georgene Davis and Jimmy Fokes, :finally caught up with us this year. The other scholars who joined us were Bobby Brown, Irma Collins, Donald Cobb, Irvin Delk, Clara Mae Harrell, Jacqueline Harns, Asa Lou Oxner, Bernice Randolph, Leo Sajor, Eleanor Staton, and Dick Stewart. Four more of our members, Bobby Brown, Walter Perkins, Edward Todd, Clifton Richarde, left for guess where? The road has been bumpy and hard at times, but now that we have reached this grand finish we feel that we have indeed gained and that by our constant struggle we are now better prepared to face the trials and problems of our even greater adventure, LIFE, that we might be of more and better service to ourselves and to our fellow men.

PRUPIIEUY 0F THE SE Illli CLASS The other day I had occasion to look into that new inven- tion called the Future Detector. As I looked into it, I saw all of my graduating class of '44 ten years from now. Many interesting and pleasing things passed in review before me. Here is where we find them in 1954. Montell Adkinson is a coach of an all-girl professional foot- ball team. His assistant coach is none other than J. W. Neisler. Some of their star players are Mary Elizabeth Till- man, Ernestine Lane, Joanne Carris, and Edith Goodwin. Pat Williams is the new bookkeeping teacher over at good old O. H. S. Some of his outstanding pupils who took it at one time under Mr. Harrison but are now taking it again are Voncile Hudson, Frances Jackson, Helen Loos, and Mildred Huntley. You know, they just adore bookkeeping! Mina Enzian has opened up a new beauty parlor on the corner of Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood, California. Her assistant is Bettye Moyers, the well-known beauty expert. Lunette Tootle and Patsy Schneider are now assisting Arthur Murray in his ballroom dancing classes. The new glamour boy of Hollywood is none other than Billy Barnes. His new leading lady is the sensational new singing star, Annie Laurie Meadows. Raymond Musleh is still the sports editor of the Ocala-Siar Bunmfr. Some of the now happily married couples are Margaret Oliver and Reuben Guinn, Jean Smith and Orester Liles, Glen Smith and Janet Hanley, and Evelyn Odom and Reuel Shealy. Betty Ruth Lyles is the new Hedda Hopper of Hollywood. Betty is now sticking her nose in other people's business. Aaron Goldman has just been awarded the congressional medal of honor for writing the twenty-first verse of Mairsy- dotes. Nan Futch, after her fifth divorce, has written a new book which is the best seller for this month. The title of this book is Permanent Love. L. A. Weekley has one of the largest farms in Florida. He specializes in raising cows. Louise Johnson is in Chicago trying to get her latest book of poetry published. If she succeeds, this will be her fifth book of poetry. Red Skelton's new business manager, chawffuer, valet, and dish washer is no one but the talented and unscrupulous joke writer, Bobby Johnson. Mack Parrish has organized the Florida Symphony Orchestra. Some of his leading soloists are Harry Michels, piccolo, Jim Jernigan, flute, Peggy Bradfield, bass horn, and Beth Avant, violin. Marion Thomas, world famous pianist, has reached the high- est achievement ever to be attained in the field of music. John Anderson was elected vice-president of the United States under Roosevelt, of course. Those in his cabinet are: Secre- tary of War, Rudolph Carpenterg Secretary of State, Roland Douglasg Secretary of the Interior, C. T. Enzian, Secretary of the Navy, Barney Muldrowg and Secretary of Agriculture, Winston Cockrane. In the field of medicine I found Dr. Frances Meggs, M.D., and Dr. San Jernigan, D.O.G., who also runs a funeral home on the side. Mark Camp is the new swoon-crooner who is taking the place of Frank Sinatra on the Hit Parade. Neil Ferguson, Jr., is the new photographer for M. G. M. in Hollywood. Floyd Freer, who has been in the service of the government as Senator from Florida, has just broken the record of fili- bustering in Washington for three hundred and sixty-five days. Sh-h-h! Marie Holden has replaced Miss Phillips as librarian in the O. H. S. library. William Rawls has just won the Push-Brush prize in art for painting a portrait of that famous actor, Jimmie Foltes. Stewart Meadows has opened up a new garage. His motto is We fix anything but a broken-down car. De Lysle Winn, famous inventor of tooth powder and what- have-you, has just patented his new throat gargle called Hepso- dent. The first bottle was sold to Leo Padgett. From Nurse Frances Raney we hear that Leo is improving rapidly in the hospital. Alice Ruth Whitley, who has just returned from Reno after divorcing her ninth husband, is touring the country in search of a tenth. Volunteers are accepted. Irvin Delk, Jr., is the head projector at the Ritz Theater. Georgene Davis, who once said that she would never replace her mother as history teacher, is now a prominent member of the faculty of O. H. S. A national teachers' meeting is being held in Chicago. Among those attending from Ocala are Asa Lou Oxner of Wesleyan, Bertha Lee Tyler of Vasser, and Norma Vause of Duke Uni- versity. Eleanor Staton is modeling for Macy's in New York. Bernice Randolph has returned from China, where she has been serving as a missionary for the past three years. Walter Perkins, who has attained the position of commander in the Navy, has his own ship, which is named the Sea- hound. Randolph Norcross is the district manager of the Woolworth chain stores in Florida. Vivian Goodyear and Valera Hodges are the new hostesses for the Greenville Aviation Cadet Club. Honorary hgstesses are Dalphin Thomas, O'Bera Loften, Doris Hill, Treva Grubbs, Juanita MacDonald, and Dorothy Cook. Clare Jolly and Joe Katiba have just invented a new sub- stitute for synthetic rubber. A group of U. S. O. girls have gone to entertain some of the boys at Camp Blanding. These include Sarah Love, Mildred Mann, Pauline Hester, and Lillian Hicks. O. G. Cafe, under the new management of Daryl West, is still as popular as ever. Jacqueline Harns is one of the most outstanding lawyers in New York City. A new airline has been established by some of the boys around Ocala. They include Howard Bronson, Bill Hunt, Clifton Richarde, Jimmie Williams, and Harold Williams. A hog calling contest was staged out West and those com- peting in the contest were H. A. Ross, Donald Cobb, Olen Thomas, Louis Smith, and Fred Young. Bobby Wooten is the new Deputy Sheriff of Ocala. Irma Collins is one of the most successful comedians to hit Broadway in quite a few years. Aaron Gadd is the new principal of ,O. H. S., and his assistant is Donald Gale. The secretary in the office is Bonnie Lyles. Edward Manning is taking up his father's business of trading horses, with Leo Sajor as his assistant. Edward Todd is the new assistant manager of Sears 85 Roe- buck. Clara Mae Harrell and Jane Huntley are running a penguin farm in Alaska. Bobby Brown is a Colonel in the Army. Upon much deliberation, Dick Stewart has given up his com- mission in the Navy to become a Professional Beach Comberf' The review has passed and my time is up. Here's wishing each one continued happiness and success. By Gtoam PARNELLE.
