OUR FUTURE WORLD What is this world going to be like in the future? That is the big question of today. Every person has his free opinion. I believe that the world will not last too much longer With all the new machines and the ATOM BOMB, something has to happen sooner or later. If another world war ever breaks out, I believe that mankind will destroy itself. If countries start throwing atomic bombs back and forth the world cannot survive very long. People are getting too involved for their own good or for the good of the next generation. Look at the things around us--things which the people of yesterday never gave a thought! Can you imagine the things that will be here on earth in twenty more years? I don't think anyone could sit down and think of all the new things and still be- lieve that they could really come to pass. I often wonder-how scientists and inventors ever gave a thought to all the things we have today. It is easy after you once hear of them, but to gaze into the future and imagine new cars, trains, planes, trucks, and all the other equipment that we have today, is a different story altogether. Sit down some day and try to think of our changing world, How does it look to your Are your great- grand-children going to be as happy as you? Only if scientists would put new things into a land of peace where they belong! Gary Williams '55 THANKSGIVIN G DAY' The moon is so white In the late of the year. The leaves have fallen And the snow is here. It is late in November And the people are out, To give thanks for Thanksgiving To cheer and shout. The old folks are happy And the young folks are gay, It all means the same But in a different way. All over the States It's a holiday With thanks to those Who paved a way. Alden Dore '55 'THE JANITOR Out of school the day is done But for the Janitor it's just begun. Down each hall he sweeps away The dirt and grime of each long day. He mends this. he mends that Sanding down each initial scratch. He has a job that must be done Even though it is no fun. To all of us each school day 's a treat But to him it's just the same old beat. Neil Lemieax '55 Q: Would you propose to a man? Freshman coed: Absolutely not-- under no circumstances! Sophomore coed: Well. . .maybe. Junior coed: YeS! Senior coed: Where is he?

Aunt Jessie, the tyrant who rules with an iron hand, won't let Pop run for mayor even though it is a cinch for him to win. His children and their friends, decide to let the town hermit kidnap her until after election. It starts out to be a mystery but it turns out to be just plain romance . We, the Seniors, wish to especially thank Mrs. Pratt, and Mr. Hinkley, who were our directors and everyone else who helped to make the play a success.
