often a brunette child develops a complex about her hair that may cause permanent injury to her attitude toward life. She is saying that everyone knows that Gentlemen prefer blonds, and it is a disadvantage to a small child to make her face life as a brunette. We remember Joan always wanted to be a blond, but we hoped she'd get over it. Apparently she hasn't. By now we are used to changing radio stations, and so we push buttons right and left until we see something that looks interesting. A big office looms into view, and we see it is the office of the Business Manager for a famous interior decorator. The Business Manager walks into the office, and we are agree- ably surprised to see Delmar Cross. He crosses to a desk that seems to be snowed under with papers. Delmar looks at drawings, and we shift dials until we are peering over his shoulder at the drawings also. These drawings are sketches of fashions, and they look very interesting to us. Delmar scratches his head, throws his hands up in disgust and yells, Lois! In trots his smiling blond secretary. We stare at the screen for a moment wondering what Lois Jorgenson is doing here. She takes in the messy desk and be- wildered Delmar all in one glance. Then she calmly walks around to the wastepaper basket and says, All right, make up your mind which picture we publish, or I'll throw them all away. ” As Delmar decides on a picture, we glance over at Lois again. (Several of us haven't glanced away yet.) She smiles at Delmar and says, Sometimes I wonder why I ever took this job. It's awfully hard to manage you, my husband and family and still not be a nervous wreck. As Lois didn't look as if she were heading for a nervous breakdown, we left her in search of our other classmates. We weren't in a mood for music anyhow, because we’d stumbled on-the opening night performance of Eighteenth Winter. This play had been touring the east for 18 months and now was opening on Broadway. The matinee idol, Jim Key, who is Rudolph Valentino, John Barrymore and Ronald Coleman rolled into one heads another all-star cast. His press notices said he got his start in Seventeenth Summer when he was a senior at Roundup High School. Jim's first entrance draws a standing ovation which seems to last indefinitely. All the clapping bothered our pilot, so we changed to a very quiet, orderly hospital room where Norma Nesheim, a nurse, is adjusting the window shades for the patient, John Fisco. John is in the hospital trying to regain his strength after a trip around the world. He is a well known man about the universe and is convalescing after his strenuous trip. Norma is head nurse in this hospital, and she seems to be enjoying her work. As we have only two other classmates left to wonder about, we know they'll show up sooner or later. We aren't disappointed, for we tune into an exciting basketball game at Madison Square Garden featuring Don's Universal Stars and the Harlem Globetrotters. Pacing the floor and pulling his crew-cut for all he's worth is Don Nelson. Don is coaching his basketball team, and they are trying for their third universal championship. We know Don's Stars will win; it's getting late, and we are ready for some soothing music. We are lucky, and we find ourselves in theCopa Cobana watching Nan Rom walk out onto the stage ana prepare to sing. She is the featured torch singer here and is very popular with the Copa's patrons. We listen and soon our feet are tapping to the beat of the music, and we're leaning back in our chairs and relaxing. This night club scene gradually fades away, and our spaceship surges onward into the night carrying with it our thoughts of another graduating senior class.

Vespers Senior Vesper Service was held, May 24, at 5:00 in the high school auditorium. A short prelude to worship was played by Sharon O'Neill after which followed the processional march by the high school band and the entrance of the seniors. The call to worship was given by Larry Bickle followed by the scripture and prayer by Joan Werner. The seniors were led in the Senior Ritual by Pattie Jo Lind. Lois Jorgenson intro- duced the speaker for the afternoon, Jim Key, who gave the Vesper address Flaming Faith. The presentation of the light was given by Jerry Pratt, senior class president, and the response by Claudia Flecther, junior class president. Nan Rom then closed the service by leading the benediction. The girls’ chorus and mixed chorus provided two very appropriate numbers, Veni Jesu and The Lord Bless You and Keep You.
