The team consists of: Dick Faust, star cen- ter; Max Swaim hearthrob of the feminine fans; Don Vauters, known for his lightning plays: Jim Noblitt, the world's slowest player-the reason-trying to get his size twelve feet into size nine shoes; and Dick Spaw, who has achieved the height of seven foot two. or the various happily married couples are: tall, dark, and handsome Dick Faust and his wife, the former Betty Rae Beatty, who has devised a dye for red hair; Drummer McMillin and his wife, Marilyn; and David Skelton, who is noted for his intelligence, and his wife, Betty. Phyllis Martin is baby-sitting with their sixteen children; therefore she is absent.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY A great deal of time has passed since we entered the first grade. Our early school experiences are so far in the past that we remember very little about the first years, except that they were the war years. The eighth grade was our big year. Fortunately for us the tarade school was so crowded that we had to go to high school a year early. I don't think the teachers would appreciate the mention of crawfish and frogs which were brought to class so I will say that we were known as the meanest class in school-a title which most of us sought and deserved. That was the first year we got a taste of basketball. In the grade school tourney we won the County Championship by one point. Few of us will ever for- get that game. The next year, when we entered high school, we had to relinquish our title as the meanest class to the class of '53. The teachers had by now decided it was a stage through which all students passed. The next four years were filled with hard work for sone of us and a lot more fun for others. There were basketball and football games to go to, the Youth Center and shows to attend, and parties that were cooked up at a moment's notice or when some one's parents happened to leave home for the evening. These and many other activities filled our spare time. Our freshman vear was quite a shock to all concerned. The freshmen who went out for football were like so many teacups in a china shop with a mad bull. We grew used to the high school attitude and lapsed on into our sopho- more year. This year was comparatively uneventful, but we looked with envy upon the juniors. In the junior year we were busy working to make money for the Prom and senior class trip. It was a great deal of work but much fun. Compliments of: Parkview Restaurant Family Drive-In Theatre
