SALLY BARBEE Getting this interview was quite a job. It's rather hard to find Sally unless you find her asleep, and then it's just too hard to wake her up. In spite of all this I finally caught up with her one day in typing class, and sounding her out on a few important questions, I found that, just as I had suspected, sleeping was her favorite pastime. As for her bad habits, I didn't have to ask about them because I knew for certain what her worst one isg making blind dates. Why, I remember the time when she had a blind date with a boy from Rey- nolds, and-well, anyway, let's get on with the interview. She has an odd ambition for such a happy- go-lucky person as she is-she wants to be a school teacher. I certainly envy the kids that get her. I know they'll be happy because her pet peeve is ole naggin' teachers. She says the only real regret she has in leaving could be wrong. She's accomplished many things from this that she doesn't do any work up here, but Old Town High' is having to start to work. I gather without apparent effort-president of this, secretary of that, here one minute, there the next, and always on the honor roll. I guess it's all just part of her amazing personality. When I asked her about food, she gave a rapturous sigh, as if to say here was something she really enjoyed talking about. Fried chicken, she breathed, with a dreamy look. If there's anything I like better than fried chicken, it's more fried chicken. Sally collected her papers and prepared to rush off again, so I gathered that the interview was over. I caught her as she left and asked if she didn't have at least one secret ambition that I could print. We-e-ll, she said, rather doubtfully, I know Mrs. Newman wouldn't approve, or think it proper, but I want to elope when I get married and keep it a secret for a while. After that contribution, she left me to ponder on what Old Town High would be like next year with- out Sally. I know she'll be missed, and I doubt if the place will ever be the same without her silly gig- gles, her crazy ways, her warm, sparkling personality, her versatility, and her ability to get things done in record time.

ANN AUSBAND Gulping my lunch down hurriedly, I rushed out to snag Ann Ausband before she became one of the cogs of a softball game out on the athletic field, or before she drew some committee around her in exuberent conference. You see, it was Ann who was to receive my interrogations today. Answering my questions in her quiet, reserved manner, with an occasional smile, Ann told me of her plans to go to college next fall to study art. It's a career of commercial art or designing that she's set her cap for. We all know how much we have depended on Ann for the original ideas and for such art work as has been necessary for our class projects during these four years at O. T. H. S. Drawing and painting aren't Ann's only activities. She's president of the Glee Club, and member of the student council. During the winter quarter, we saw her, too, during the basketball games, never giving up hope of victory, but showing excellent school spirit in defeat. Although she's 3 wonderful example of a dainty lady, Ann's our nature girl. She loves nothing bet- ter than to wander through the woods in a lackadaisical manner. These adventures are climaxed by her finding perchance a petite, brightly colored flower peeping through the dark, crusty earth, or a fascinating insect, or a feather from the wing of some unfamiliar, migratory bird. Spring is her season and garbed in a faded pair of blue jeans, she spends her free time in the fields around Bethania. Then while our interview progressed, Ann's eyes became wistful, and she vowed that she'd never forget Old Town High. Mr. Brown's class will always be a cherished memory because she could get along with him so well. And then, her future life will, regardless of how full and well-rounded it may be, never take the place of all those late parties at supposed Staley's when she and the other staff members were working on the UCIRIERD. Our co-editor of the CR1ER,,' then walked away, with a sigh of regret that high school days were so nearly over. She's very keen in spirit, and has an unusual sensitiveness in her nature. Our Ann's full of cheerfulness, and her kindness is well-known. It isn't hard for us to see Ann in years hence as a well- known designer, looking over decorating schemes that reflect her own exquisite taste and temperament. SALLY BARBEE. JUNE CARTER But we positively have to go to that dance tonight! These words greeted me as I went to learn some of the odds and ends of the life of this frivolous minded lass. I trailed her to her bedroom, with pencil in hand, hoping to get a few moments of her valuable time. The walls immediately drew my attention for they were covered with gorgeous girls-pinups. I suppose June noticed my surprise because she laughingly explained, Oh, those, in case you are won- dering, I like to draw, so I copy these in my spare time. As I looked at some of her drawings I found that she was, in my opinion, very talented. She went on to tell me that to be a designer used to be her greatest dream, but that drawing is only a hobby and would never be more because she knew that in that held she wasn't good enough to be the best, so lid rather just leave it alone, she said. With this she began going through her closet to find something to wear. I watched her frown on several dresses and at last choose one. You knowf, she said, sometimes I think my greatest ambition is to have all the clothes I want. They're my weakness. She talked on as she busied herself with the details of becoming more beautiful, and I discovered that she adores deviled egg sandwiches for lunch and likes to read while she eats. As for reading matter she likes all types, from magazines to classics. As I turned to leave, thinking that I'd already used more of her time than she was willing to part with, I noticed a plaque hanging on the wall. I investigated and found that it was for taking first place in the county recitation contest. Goodness, I thought, does the senior class bird brain have achievements? This I'd better look into. Don't get me started on that, she said, I'll talk all night. I guess that was one of the biggest thrills of my life and definitely the high spot of my junior year. I also learned that June had been gossip editor for the school paper during her sophomore and junior years, but is now, during her senior year, devoting all her time to the yearbook of which she is feature edi- tor. This busy girl has also been a cheerleader for the past two years. Good-bye June. We have called you bird-brain all the year, but never, never have we meant it to be anything but a term of affection. We have been proud of your talents and your accomplish- ments. May all your dearest dreams come true! SUE YARBROUGH.
