JUNl0R - lil0R DAY On May 9, 1955, the Juniors and Seniors of Peterstown High School, journeyed to Lakeside for the annual J unior-Senior Day, The chartered buses were loaded with students, bubbling over with joy, and teachers, filled with anticipation. The trip dovm was fun, except for the fact that Carlton Reese gave one of the buses the ap- pearance of being on fire, by smoking so many ten cent cigars. Roy Campbell and Wanda McCormick sat in the corner of one of the buses, and gazed peacefully at one another. They must have had happy thoughts of their own. Upon arriving at Lakeside, the students immediately headed for the Mountain Speedway, and the teachers stood by and held their breaths. Sam Wickline was especially attracted by one of the machines in the Penny Arcade. Strange to say the sign on the machine read Beautiful Girls. Although the weather wasn't quite warm enough, Libby Weiss and Barbara Robinson in- sisted on going swimming. The poor girls sneezed all the way home. On our return trip we stopped at the lovely Collier House for our supper. The ladies and gentlemen who came in wearing dinner clothes, looked at our jeans and bobbie socks with in- quiring gazes. When we again entered the buses, the crowd seemed rather dreamy and quiet -- especially the seniors, who realized that this was their last J unior-Senior day. At last we arrived back in Peterstown. The students were sorry that this happy day had ended,'but did I note some looks of relief on the faces of the teachers? Seriously, everyone had a fine time on our 1955 Junior-Senior Day. JOKE When Mr. Tom Ballard first drove his Cadillac, he placed a large sign on the rear of it stat- ing: Beware of Sudden stops -- Teaching Wife to Drive. The very next day Mr. Price replied with a sign reading: Hit someone your own size. If Mr, Dowdy can remember so many jokes, With all the details that mold them. Why can't he recall with equal skill, How many times he's told them? Can you read the third line? an oculist asked Mary ,To Weatherford. Sure can, answered Mary Jo. HCWDKIPJPT. I'm no good at pronouncing it but l think he was left tackle for Notre Dame last year. One hot morning Peggy Ferguson stood talking to a total stranger. Imagine, Misterl She exclaimed, fanning herself vigorously. Ninety-two alreadyl ulndeedll' returned the gentleman. Congratulations, Madam, and many happy returns of the dayl 75
