Succeeding volumes will be blending Manhood's strife with memories old. Through the years and changing weather Ties have bound us all in mindg Things we've said and done together Are written down by Father Time. Now the day has come for partingg Soon we'll tread life's winding road. Pain and pleasures we'll be carting, Reaping seeds that we have sowed. For time waits not for a tomorrowg Now we don the cap and gown. 'Tis farewell to all with sorrow As we lay our studies down. -Brawley Marze +l9+ SENIOR CHAIEVEIVIENT RECORDS JEAN ALLEN Chorus, 1, 2, 3, 4: Student Council, 1: Traflic Committee, 1: Homeroom Treasurer, 1: Home Economics Club, 2, 3.

The desperate cry, Man overboard! pierced my ears, and I rushed to the scene, just in time to see JOHNNY HAMER, the world champion diver, heroically plunge into the deep! At that moment, I overheard CAPTAIN CHARLES PHILLIPS explaining to his cabin boy, BARENT KOONTZ, that a MR. ROBERT STANSILL, in desperation, had leaped overboard trying to recover his new set of Brandi False Teeth, fitted by the famous woman dentist, ANN KELLY, Bob, with a grin that almost reached his ears, was coming in my direction, waving his recovered treasure over his head. I greeted him enthusiastically, overjoyed at the prospect of talking over old times. Why, Bob, how wonderful! You're the last person I expected to see in the middle of the Pacific! What have you been doing all these years, and what made you decide to sail? Let me pull up a chair, Ann! It seems that we will have plenty of time while my brand new Poole'J Tailored suit is drying. It's guaranteed not to shrink. It all began one peaceful day when I decided to go to Clarh'r Theatre and take in a movie. I had just finished passing the time of day with Mayor JACK MORGAN when I slipped on a piece of Deaver Stick-Tight Gum and all but ruined the shine on my new pair of Rorie Fit-All Shoer. I quickly ran into the theatre, buying my ticket from Count-em-Out DAWKINS on the way in. GEORGE CRUMP tried to persuade me to buy some popcorn but when I noticed the machine was manufactured by DEAL and DEANE, who are incidentally married, I was afraid to take the risk. I did finally give in to a MARZE candy bar. Groping around in the dark, I secured a seat beside LOUISE BISHOP, who was engrossed in the dramatic love scene between ANN STEADMAN and GEORGE MCDONALD, two talented players of the year. Two majestic voices then sounded, shaking the theatre with their volume! ELIZABETH STOREY and CHARLES GARRETT, the greatest opera singing team of the day, were in the spotlight. I ran out quickly for fear the building might fall, but I slowed my paceewhen I noticed a sign saying the theatre was constructed by the CAULDER and DUTTON Construction Company. I went in LEVlNE'S Cafe to have lunch and noticed it was being inspected for cleanliness by FRED BULLARD. RALPH CAMPBELL was cashier, but he also played his trumpet on the sly. When I discovered the two head cooks were DEAN MARTIN and JOE HUTCHINSON, who, they say, are extremely good at pancake Slinging, I eased out of the cafe. I jumped into my PHILLIPS Plartic Plymouth QGrayson is quite a successlj, and started through town, when suddenly I heard a strange, knocking sound coming from the motor. At first, I thought surely it must need another SAUNDERS' Atom Pill, but I found it only needed a little water. I pulled Over to FOWLKES' Gay Station, which had all girls as employees. JEAN ALLEN smilingly shined my windows, and MARGIE YATES grinned as she repaired my brakes. REBECCA KIKER came out, slinging a wrench, but all I needed was a little water, so for fear they would start on me next, I decided to walk. I later found that their slogan is Service with a Smile. A postman was coming down the street and I immediately recognized him as my old friend, LEWIS NICHOLS. Remembering the letter I had written to my Congresswoman FRANCES RUSSELL, frantically begging her to establish a suitable eating place somewhere, I gave it to him to mail and was again on my way. I was utterly and completely starved, SO again I looked for a place to eat. There was a sign ahead advertising the MASKE and MASKE Soda Shop, but recognizing the names, I decided not to enter. I had to have food, so, in desperation, I called DYSON'S Taxi Company. In a few minutes EDITH HENDRIX, the best taxi driver in town, pulled up to the curb. I begged her to take me to a place where I could get a decent meal at a reasonable price. She said that AMANDA COVINGTON and MURIEL BRAY ran a steak shop on the other side of town. Over this I collapsed! The next thing I remember is seeing JEANNE MCQUEEN and HERBERT YATES, who were studying medicine, standing beside me. DR. CONNIE MATTOX came in and explained that I had been rushed to the hospital. I called my lawyer, MR. WILLIAM HORD, to come get me out of there, but he said it was the best place for me. I was put on a diet of PIERCEJS Pineapple juice, but every day or so I was allowed an ANDERSON Vitamin Pill. While being taken into the operating room, I found that MELBA Cox and MARY DELL THOMAS were also in GORE'S Hospital. One of their chemistry experiments failed to work out the way they expected. It took all of my strength, but I turned my head and read on the tag that the stretcher was made by the WALL Stretcher Company. In the operating room, the doctor doubtfully looked at me and picked up a scalpel. I screamed in terror when I found it was made by the KANIPE Knirfing Company, It was then -I-24+ decided that a long sea voyage would be the best thing to help me regain my health. But how about you, Ann? Where are you headed? You know mel I've always loved excitement, so I got a job in New York as reporter for the COCKMAN Daily. My first assignment was to collect a list of famous people to be in Who's What. After much pondering on the subject, I decided the one and only way to gather material was to meet the people. As I hurried down Fifth Avenue, anxious to get started, I barely escaped being trampled by a crowd of enthusiastic, hero-worshiping autographing collectors chasing the world renowned football coach of Notre Dame, whom I recognized as my former classmate, DWIGHT MAPLESl Dwight, however, had slyly given them the -slip and was casually trotting along behind them, minus his necktie and several locks of his red hair. The cries of the crowd changed to whistles as two glamorous models, LOYCE DABBS and BETTIE YATES stepped off the street car. Trucks were whizzing past me, and I was much surprised to see that two of them were being driven by REBA FRAZIER and MILDRED SMITH! I waved in happy recognition, jotted down some names, and hurried on my way. I I bumped into JOYCE BENOIST just around the corner and she seemed to be terribly excited over her new hat, an exclusive MARGARET RORIE creation. Joyce was a little afraid that her husband, S. F. COVINGTON, might 'not like the price, but I told her that the moment he saw that glamorous hat, he would completely forget the cost. As I needed a few more people for Who's What, I hastened on, only to come to an abrupt stop. Wasn't that ADA CADDELL I heard yelling, Extra! Extra! MCKENZIE sentenced to life im- prisonment in PARKER'S Pen? I borrowed a paper from JOHN MCPHERSON, a famous photographer who was standing nearby, and read that Benton had stolen a pipe from the WATERS and LEAKE Plumbing Company. A peculiar sight greeted my eyes next. BILLY POE, a successful business executive, was walking down the street dictating to his secretary, MARIE MCKAY, who was trying her best to catch up with him. Bill is a firm believer in outdoor life. BOBBIE GREER and LUCY MOORE, upon hearing I was a reporter, stopped to give me the latest gossip. Bobbie said that DON PHILLIPS had added two more days to -February so his job with COLEMAN'S Furnace Company would hold out. Lucy told me of the SHANNONHOUSE Dancing Srbool recital and persuaded me to buy a ticket to see the 'Twirling Top! in action. At an ice cream stand, I purchased a luscious banana cone from JEWELL THOMAS. Since she was collecting the new COBLE nickels, she dropped the money into her pocket and put another nickel in its place. MARY WATKINS and DORIS WARNER strutted by dressed in the height of fashion. Jewell told me that they had both snagged wealthy husbands. Remembering my ticket to a Radio City broadcast, I rushed in just in time to hear A. J. CHILDRESS advertising CLAYTON,S Wolf Pack Perfume on the ONLY WATTS program. HELEN GAR- RISS and INEX CUMEER then sang a tricky commercial, which reminded me of the soap I had to buy at MOSS' Department Store. I got there only two minutes before closing tirne. SINCLAIR ALLEN, the house detective, was suspiciously watching JULIA MEACI-IAM count the money in the cash register. BETTY MCLEAN helped me select the best box of DOROTHY REYNOLDS Soap, while ANNIE RUTH SMITH, who sold sweaters upstairs, was patiently waiting for the store to close. MARY CATHERINE MCDONALD began rushing the customers out because she was to take her husband to hear the REVEREND THOMAS MCLEAN at the seven o'clock prayer meeting. ANNIE RUTH RAWI.S, who must have remembered something she had lost, was tearing madly out of the place only to catch her scarf on a HOOKS' New Fangled Firlaing Hook. After setting her free, I completed my list and took it to the editor, THOMAS SNEAD. After glancing over it, Tom decided I needed a long, long, rest, so here I am vacationing in the Pacific and having the time of my life! Breaking the silence, we heard a strangely familiar voice crying, Land ho! Glancing skyward, we saw MRS. GARRETT on the ship's sight with MISS CROSLAND at her side, both extremely excited over their fabulous discovery.
