Behold! They are the seniors of 1950. A frivolous young lady steps forth. Why, she is the gay divorcee, Margie Mayo, now eloped with Mr. Shovan of Shovelhandle 8z Shovelhandle, Inc. Now, the vision grows dim. Ah, there it is. This time there is a lonely cabin among the Rocky Mountains. In the doorway there sits Arlon Duck, now a failure in the shoe polish business. Now the scene changes. Is it-yes, it is- an island bathed in moonlight with slender palm trees swaying in the breeze of the summer night. Who is this couple walking along the beach in stepl to the music of the rippling waves? Well, who would have dreamed this would appen? For all their fighting in school, Mac Lampert and little Tootsie seem to be doing all right on their honeymoon. Say! What's this I see? A stately old lady is having her hair dressed in the famous salon of Monsieur Louis, formerly Louis Strain of the small town of Quitman. Now, in Paris, his ability to cope with waves, seems to have led him into the profitable business of dealing with wealthy old ladies. As a door into the back of the salon opens, we see a man carrying his broom and dustpan. Now who could that be? He reminds me of one of the seniors of the year 1950. Why, that's exactly who it is. Stanley Adcock, the one who loves to discuss automobiles. Well, it looks as if his path to the car business is rather steep, doesn't it? Wonder if he'll make it? What's this? The scene is growing dimmer and dimmer. Why, now it brightens, and what do we have but the summer home of the famous actress, Isa- bel Warburton? Goodness! The kitchen is suddenly thrust into my vision. There appears to be a cook and a butler arguing about who is to do what. Seems as though Boots and Glen are as lazy as ever. There is a saying that opposites attract, but there's also exceptions to all rules. Since they're here together, could there be a hint of a budding romance? As I continue to gaze into my crystal ball, I see a drugstore in a little hick town. There are kids crowding around the juke box, some singing, others yelling. In the midst of this we see a very tired soda jerker, worn out from a long day's work. Let me look closer. Why yes, that's who it is, Robert Willett. How sad, to go to college six years trying to learn to become a geologist and then end up jerking sodas as of old. Oh, well, those things are to be expected. Next, a lonely hermit carrying a pail of berries comes walking into view. As he sets the pail down, he picks up a basketball with Q. H. S. writen on it and begins to shoot at an old rusty bucket nailed to the limb of a pine sapling. Oh, no! not Joe Woods! But that's exactly who it is, although you'd hardly recognize him after living a hermit's life for nine years. You see, he flunked his first year at college and he just couldn't take it. So, what else for him but the life of a hermit. Strangely enough this scene is very similiar to the last. Although this time you see a solitary convent in the place of a hermit's cave. Sitting under a tree reading a book of love poems is Inell Hughes. Yes, her name is still Hughes. You see, as a girl she was jilted at the altar after being engaged for two years. There seemed to be no one that could fill Dale's place, so she has devoted the rest of her life to being a nun. Ah! What is this tall building that has appeared? Up, up, up until the tenth story comes into view. It seems to be a lawyer's office. However this isn't a lawyer at present but a scrub man, scrubbing floors. As the prespiration drips from his face, he looks up, and who else but Sonny Harvey. He must be having a difficult time working his way up in the world. In the corridor of this same building there is Kenneth Vail, now a razor blade salesman. He looks frightened. Perhaps he's lost his way in this large building. Oh, well, he'll get out. He always did manage to get out of jams fairly well. The picture changes, and I see a lovely quiet seashore. The artist that is con- templating so very hard is Archie Zabud Hinton. Who would have thought ten years ago that he would have studied art. On the other hand, who could blame him after looking at those models, From the peace and quiet of the Seashore, the scene flashes to a circus, with the noise and bustle. Who is that yelling, Cotton Candy-for the old as well as the kiddies? Yes, it's still that same big mouth attached to Lolita Worrell. What have we here? Jungles and undergrowth of all descriptions. Appears to be Africa. Wait, here's a clearing. - In it there's a hut around which four small children, three boys and one girl, are playing. Oh yes, coming down the steps is a lady with blonde hair. Accompanying her is Rev. Staggs, a missionary in the wilds of Africa. His dream of that blonde, three boys, and one girl went with him too. When I look deeper into the crystal, I see a small white cottage with green shutters. Playing in and around the flower beds are five boys. Sitting on the porch steps are Lavella and Claude McMillan. Finally they tied the knot and now, although they can't keep the numbers popping on the score board, they have a basketball team of their own to follow in their footsteps. And with that the crystal ball becomes a blank. Junior Pla The inauguration of the 12 year school system eliminated the senior class for 19493 therefore, the juniors took over the duty of presenting a play during the spring semester. Soon work was begun on the selected play, Oh, Aunt Jerusha , which included a cast of ll boys and six girls. Miss Jerusha Jebb, portrayed by Marjorie McNeill, and Uncle Billie Baxter, played by Joe Woods had been sworn enemies ever since 'way back in the umpty-steen when, upon the eve of marriage, they quarrreled and parted at the altar. So bitterly does their fued rage that it threatens to blight the love affair of Miss Jerusha's niece, played by Marie Stewart, with Uncle Billie's nephew, Junior Staggs. A political campaign and the antics of an impish little girl, Boots Anderson, and a fat colored mammy, Lavella Powers, soon turn the action into a grand free-for-all in which cupid gets badly mauled. Then a miracle happens and the merry farce ends to the tune of wedding bells. In the second act, the characters of the play hold a political rally at which they stage a baby contest and a chorus girl's act. The chorus girls, in frill cos- tumes were portrayed by the junior boys with Claude McMillan taking a leading part. All the proceeds went to the general school fund. 4 A x x N3 1 x V: 1. ,K .glyn b jf w g .fF.f'wZ.emQgff J, K 5 'sfgw wwqwfc K. ,ALL MF, Ima 4 5 4' ,AWN ' r ......s . ........v-w 5 l I E .1 M11 I.

On Ocfober I I, I949, fhe officers, accompanied b Mrs. Mary Waldrip, journey- ed fo Alexandria fo affend fhe Sfafe Fufure Homemaklers Convenfion which is held af Bolfon High School annually. November 5, fhe members of fhe Quifman Chapfer affended fhe Parish meefing held in Jonesboro-Hodge High School. We plan fo affend fhe Disfricf meefing fo be held Qusfon, March ll. A very successful Parenf-Daughfe. quef was given on May 5 of lasf year by fhe Home Economics Girls. The Parei T ooperafed nicely and every one seemed fo have a grand fime. To add fo our living room, we have purchased end fables and fable lamps. Vene- fian blinds for all fhe windows in fhe living room and serving room have made our deparfmenf more home-like and, much fo our delighf, a dining room suife has been boughf. The beaufiful sef of china which we sfarfed lasf year has been com lefed, and a sef of crysfal, fhe name of which is Colony, has been sfarfed. A beaufial paf- fern of silver, Spring Garden, has also been boughf. A new gas sfove, fwo hof plafes, and fwo fables have been purchased fo add much fo fhe beaufy and con- venience of our kifchen. We won many congrafulafions on our boofh displa ed af fhe Jackson Parish Fair, despife fhe facf fhaf we placed fhird. The fheme of fhe boofh was, The Old Lady Who Lived in fhe Shoe, Lef Home Economics Teach Her Girls Whaf fo Do. The boofh feafured canned foods, crochef work, drawn work, personal and infanf clofhing, and books of good reading, all of which was prepared by fhe girls. An old cusfom of fhe F. H. A. fo inifiafe fhe Freshmen Homemakers on Hallo- ween was carried ouf again fhis year. Whaf a sighf fo see when fhe freshmen began fo appear fhaf day! To make fhe lovely group even funnier looking 'lo fhe ioy of fhe upper-classmen, fhe sophomore and iunior girls were allowed fo fix fhe poor fresh- men's hair and face in any manner fhey saw fif, or fo puf if more clearly, any way fhe freshmen didn'f like if. They lived fhrough fhe perils of fhe day, much fo fheir surprise, fo be confronfed wifh a much more harrowing experience fhaf nighf. Any- one who is doubfful as fo whefher fhe empfy rooms and halls of fhe old schoolhouse along wifh fhe sheef-clad figures flifing abouf in fhe darkness are frighfening, iusf ask any of fhe freshmen girls. Each freshman girl was required fo carry an egg, which fhey dared nof break, in a fablespoon all day. Unluckily, some unforfunafe ones did break fheir eggs and punishmenf was duely served. Affer appropriafe games were played, fhe freshmen were perked up wifh fasfy refreshmenfs of hof dogs and cokes. Some of fhe new inifiafes are sfill wondering how fhey survived: however, fhey all agree fhey had a wonderful fime. As parf of fhe annual enferfainmenf of fhe Quifman Halloween Carnival fhe F. H. A. Girls sfaged a sfyle review of sfyles fhrough fhe years. The sfyle show ended wifh an appropriafely dressed wifch, depicfing fhe sfyle of fhe very momenf. A number of fhe girls, fogefher wifh Mrs. Mary Waldrip, have organized whaf fhey call The Blue Bird Club. The girls held a meefing and each girl drew a name. Then all fhe girls work faifhfully 'all monfh fo finish a piece of handwork such as crochef, faffing, kni'H'ing, embrodiery, and sewing. When fhey meef again fhey ex- change giffs and draw names again. Then if's fo do all over again. The giffs are always nice and fhe girls have lofs of fun doing if. When girls work fogefher wifh one dominanf aim in mind, fhaf of learning fhe arf of beffer homemaking, fhey are gaining knowledge and skills which will bene- fif fhem in years fo come as well as in fhe presenf. Mrs. Waldrip works in perfecf harmony wifh 'I'he girls and is insfalling ideas in our minds which will definifely help fo build a more culfural and happy group of homemakers in fhe fufure.
