Dick Cottrell, Johnny Hudson and Cliston Coverdale, agricultural Specialists who graduated from Cow College, are here drinking more than their share of the Soft drinks. They have designed an ingen- ious plan for irrigating the Sahara Desert and raising peanuts, yams, zooseberries and other citrus fruits. Four great fashion experts, Rosemary Teschmacher, Sharon Stutler, Dorothy Dickerson, and Marilyn Neet are now enlightening their former classmates of the latest hair styles. They advocate burr hair cuts for women because it is much healthier for the scalr. It would be much easier to control the swarms of little insects like fleas, lice, and other little animals which inhabit most women's heads. Mrs. Jim Seip, the former Jane Thomas had left Jim at home with the kids and their thousand acre farm near Rockville. Jane has a na- tional reputation as a connoissuer on fine cattle. Robert Lee, who has just returned from Tick Ridge in Tanganyike where he lectured the natives on The Mistreatment 0f Mosquitoes, is giving his opinion on why birds fly forward instead of backward. Mr. Lee is also famous for his novel, The Weekend Drag. Florence Thomas is now starring in the movie, To the Moon and Back in Three Years, which was awarded the Oscar in 1972. This Fa- mous movie was directed by the great movie producer, Hubert Hall. Flo- rence Thomas has taken the place vacated by Marilyn Monroe, who re- tired because of rheumatism. Jerry Neidlinger reduced to 95 pounds and is now a jockey racing horses. He won the Tennessee Derby, which has replaced the Kentucky Derby. This track is owned by Tennessee Tom, the Opera singer and lover of Tennessee. Doris Cooper and Barbara Martin are the only members of this fame ed class who aren't present. They were hostesses on the T.W.T.A.tthey went that awayl Airlines. On one of the flights over Mexico, the plane had a blow out, and the pilot told them to get out and repalr it. Miss Martin and Miss Cooper haven't been seen since. Virginia Flaurr, Ruth Ann Hartman, Mary Bryan and Lois Purcell run a very enterprising 01d Maid Home on Sunset Boulevard. All divorcees and love sick women who have been unvisited by Cupid are welcome. As the hours slowly dragged by, the party slowly reached its zenith and some of the things they were doing were bordering on in- sanity. Tenn. Tom was trying his best to pour beer through a funnel, while Sharon Stutler was making mud pies out of plaster-of-paris and French Vermouth. Four others had formed a quartet and were slowly taking Mule Train apart, stanza by stanza and note by note, while Todd exasperated the piano quite a lot with quotations from the operas and helped produce a harmonic sort of discord. With them all in a stupor of semi-madness, I quietly made my exo- dus and started to my room. For some reason, I mistook an elevator shaft for my apartment and woke up days later in a hospital. It was an excellent party and I see by the headlines that everyone survived and has returned to their occupation. Compliments of : Kut and Kurl Beauty Salon Hall Agency -23...

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September 1941, twenty-eight little boys and girls tremulously entered the new school building on West Elm brimming over with a thirst for knowledge but a little scared too. There we met our first teacher, Miss Charlotte Albert, who soon dispelled all our fears and gave us a good start to the road of knowledge. The next seven years passed very swift- ly and suddenly we found ourselves in the eighth zrade--which was in the high school-- practically grown up or so we thought. That vear was filled with many activities. Our parents were just beginning to comprehend the transportation problem. Following the foot-steps of the preceeding class, our basketball team won the county championship. The year, 1949, saw this same little group start out on another venture in learn- ing--High School. The Green Year passed swiftly and successfully despite the pessi- mistic predictions from upperclassmen. Mr. Anthis and Mr. Lawrence were our patient sponsors and Tommy McMurtry I was elected as our president. Several members of the class, both boys and girls, attended the State Latin, algebra, and musical contests. In our sophomore year, Mr. Williams was our sponsor and Doris Cooper was our class president. Several in the class made fine showings in the State Latin, geometry, and musical contests. Our B team made the fans sit up and take notice. FRES HMAN Compliments of: n: W arden Insurance John Alden
