So gather around friend or foe, and listen as The Voice of Time tells tales of success and woe. The Voice of Time speaks on the evening of May 23, 1958, Parker, Arizona. George Washington Campbell Jr., president of the Senior Class of 48 won his place in the hearts of all Arizona when he was elected governor. Good luck, Georgie; we are proud to have been one of your classmates and you can count on our votes in future elections. Donna Erwin Scott: After winning several beauty trophies and pro- claimed State Copper ueen, retired from the limelight to the role of Mrs. Scott becoming the number one housewife of the year. Donna is now compiling a book of' household hints and time-saving devices. Charles Martin Jr.: Is perhaps better known internationally as Dorian Grey, screen actor and social play bov who achieved fame and an academy award for his magnificent performance in The Sheik . The greatest lover since Valentino who has been linked with several screen beauties and debutantes, is as yet unmarriea. Marguerite Dupree: The French beauty who useu to sharpen her eraser and answer the door when her typewriter bell rang finally became Dean of women at Vassar and is planning marriage to an up and coming young lawyer. Congratulations, MickeyI Neil Smith: Formerly a sensational ballet dancer who was sen- tenced to Florence for the crime of bigamy, escaped last night to attend the class reunion. Before Neil had time to tell of his experiences in the state can, a group of. state officers came and took him away. He kept his promises to his classmates if not his wives. Teddy Maxcy: after completing his course at Tempe with flying colors became affectionately known as Ted Max, sports commentator of K.T.A.R. Listening to Ted is a weekly highlight for us. The ever-popular Ted took the vows of Matrimony for the fifth time recently. It appears Tommy Mansville has a little competition. Joan Bailey: The girl voted most likely to succeed served as a nurse in European war-torn countries, returning to Arizona last fall before her marriage to the Prime Minister of England. lieil White: Is residing in Parker after receiving an honorary degree in Civil Engineering from the U of A. Already an executive, the former Casanova of NYCBHS now spends his time building bridges and winning the affections of wealthy old spinsters. His most recent work is the new Parker subway. Charles Wilson: Charlev has taught English in NYCUBS and is currently coaching the Broncs to win all games played. His wife and nine children reside in Parker. Two sets are twins.'I After the speeches were finished and the gala reunion drew to a close, the graduates of 48 regretfully said their adieus and parted once again, each going his respective way. They all agreed that nothing is really more fun than your high school days with its frolics, ditch days, tacky days, and dances ana many others which we often recalled with fond memories. P.S. Any similarity of the above places, persons, or things living or dead is purely co-incidental, and is an unfor iveable error and for this reason should not be taken too seriously by anyone con- cerned. The school. SENIOR CLASS lilbTORY Senior Class of '48 looks back on its In September 1836 nine children told their saddened mothers good-by and started off to school for their first day in many parts of the U. S. and eventually got together at Parker elementary dis- trict Ho. 27 or at dear old N.Y.C.U.H.S. in the following years. First to be tutored in Parker of the graduating class was Charles Martin Jr. golden haired lad from Los Angeles who came to Parker in his second grade. As Charles recalls during the third ana fourth grade the children had a terrible time making up their minds on which side of the room and in which chair to sit. In the fifth grade Mr. Blake had to put up with his sharp tongue and ingenious pranks. Then came the sixth grade under the firm rule of Mr. Nick- olson, and freckled Neil rthite was welcomed to the class and shared a good many swats with Charles and the bend over method soon got them dcwn to wor . They kept track of swats by notches with a knife indention their desks and at the end of the year there were numerous marks to affirm their not-to-good obedience. The seventh grade taught by Mrs. Roberts, brought Teddy Maxcy to our roll call. Mr. iV. D. N'allace appeared on the scene in the eighth grade, and the three boys were soldiers in the operettas dawn Boy and The Forest Prince. V:.? Now at last high school days were here. Fifteen freshman walk- ed majestically into the uoors of N.Y.C.U.H.S. But after the ef- fects of the initiation they soon found their places. Parker high claimed Joan Bailey for her freshman year, during the year the freshmen gave two assemblies and the New year's -dance. The sophomore year gave the students a chance to look down on the lowly freshmen. George Campbell Jr., Neil Smith, and donna Scott entered and the class gave two assemblies and two dances dur- ing the year. Finally, they were upperclassmen The juniors under the super- vision of Mr. Fred Beemon gave two assemblies, two dances, and the Junior Banquet, honoring roll call. the seniors.

JUNIOR CLaoS HISTORY The juniors opened the year by choosing Miss Zeda Lines as advisor and by electing their class officers from 17 members as follcws: president-Fedro Leon, vice-president-Lsrl Langendorf, and secretary-treaaurer-Pat c hane. Morning assemblies were given by the juniors on October 10, December 12, February 27, and April 25. These assemblies consisted of skits and musical numbers. A Hallowe'en dance and Valentine dance was given by the juniors. Eoth were very successful. The high light of tne junior calendar was the junicr-senior banquet given on April 50. This annual banquet was a greet success with a nice theme, good food, end large crowd. The juniors have been wearing their class rings for several months and are looking forward to next year when they «vili be seniors.

In addition, the class has given two scheduled assemolies and two dances. The first assembly was iven October 24, consisting of play entitled, Seeing the Llephant, ana a skit, Mary Had a Little Lamb. The second assembly given March ly was a Truth or Consequences show. The sophomores took great pride in their dances. ihe dances sponsored by the sophomore class were the Christmas dance, held December ly, and the co-ed dance, held March 8. Their chief interest was to please the public and do their best to see that everyone had a good time. They are proud to say that from all reports afterwards, everyone seemed to ho.e enjoyed themselves. .
