BRHS keeps a steady pace in Time’s parade as each passing day brings a fresh new group of expectant seniors a step nearer their goal — Graduation! THANKSGIVING DAY — Someone in this world is thankful every day of the year, but the whole world sets hearts and minds atune to an air of “thanksgiving” on Thanksgiving Day. We at BRHS are ever thankful for freedom, for love, for our school, and above all, for life. EASTER — The world is alive with freshness and beauty and newness at Easter time. As spring spreads her loveliness over the earth, the Echo keeps in tune with the season as it features its class beauties, club sweethearts, and Senior Who’s Who. FOURTH OF JULY — As the American people display their pride and loyalty on the Fourth of July for their great nation, so BRHS displays her pride by her support and loyalty to her patriotic programs and to her sports activities and by her unquenchable school spirit. CHRISTMAS DAY — The crisp days of winter are filled with the heart-warming spirit of doing for others during the Christmas season. Clubs at BRHS carry out the Christmas theme the year ’round in their programs for helping the school and the community as well as individuals.

Five Six The Benjamin Russell High School: A City’s Pride I HE Benjamin Russell High School is more than a building; it is a visible reminder of what a town can accomplish when all its citizens unite for a worthy cause. The high school is unusual in that when it was constructed in 1950, not one penny of federal or state money was used in its construction. It was financed completely by donations from local citizens and industry. Built at a cost of $645,000, the school is now valued at one and one-half million dollars. As early as 1942 plans were being made to erect a school which would be equipped and staffed to meet the needs of all the young people of Alexander City, those who would attend college and those who would enter local industry upon completion of high school. During the war years and for a few years thereafter, local civic leaders contacted citizens for pledges to the proposed high school. These pledges, in varying amounts, were paid over a three-year period. The Benjamin and Roberta Russell Foundation contributed generously in setting up the fund, as did Avondale Mills. The problem of a site for the new school was solved when stockholders in the East Alabama Fair Association, a corporation, donated a 31-acre plot of land to the local board of education. It was on this site that the Benjamin Russell High School, visible evidence of Alexander City’s concern for and interest in its young people, became a reality. To complete the school plant, in October of 1963 a new auditorium was finished at a cost of $323,000. Of this amount $138,000 came from state funds; local funds used in its construction amounted to $185,000. Opening its doors for the first time on Sept. 4, 1950, the Benjamin Russell High School began its work with a student enrollment of 479 students in grades nine through twelve, with a staff of 24 teachers. The enrollment reached 868 for the current term, and the faculty numbers 36. Named for the late Benjamin Russell, the high school contains approximately 75,000 square feet of space. It has 34 classrooms, of which 19 are air conditioned. Plans are to have the building completely air conditioned in two years. Also included in the facilities are two shops, two auditoriums, a library, a lunchroom with a seating capacity of 250, offices for the principal, counselor, librarian, lunchroom manager, and Eight coaches, numerous lounges for faculty and students, and a central lobby. The gymnasium, with its hardwood floor, has a seating capacity of 1,250. Of particular pride to students is the Spanish lab, which has 30 individual booths, each with a tape recorder and a set of headphones. The master control also has a tape recorder and switches which allow the teacher to listen to a student as he practices pronunciation. There are also switches that allow one student to listen to another practice. The math lab is also a new addition to BRHS. This air conditioned room contains 30 individual desks, each imprinted with a graph on an adjustable top, which may be raised or lowered, depending on the preference of the student. A special chalk board, with a graph on one side, is moveable, enabling the teacher to work a problem and then move the board to allow each student to see the solution. A special projector with a transparent plastic surface allows teachers to show different steps in the solution of a math problem or, without the plastic sheet, special slides may be shown. In the modern chemistry lab an instructor’s table with sink allows the teacher to demonstrate experiments which are not safe for the students to perform. Special charts and other equipment give science students a chance to study subjects properly. Eight tables with sinks are included in the chemistry lab, providing an adequate environment for experimentation. The commercial program provides a two-year secretarial course. The rooms are equipped with numerous posters instructing students on correct procedures. The typing room is equipped with 41 manual and 2 electric machines. In the home economics program, 268 girls are enrolled during the school day. The foods lab contains six complete kitchen units. The clothing lab is equipped with 18 sewing machines, cutting tables, and a fitting room. In the words of the Cinder, in reference to the new auditorium, “$323,000 worth of beauty was officially finished in October.” The rich “Alabama red” of the master curtain is the same shade as the seat cushions. The grand drape is of gold and cream brocade. A complete switchboard type lighting system is included in the stage facilities which is large enough to seat a 120-piece orchestra. The auditorium has a permanent seating capacity of 1,048, with space for an additional 250 chairs. — Cooper Askew. Nine MATH DEPARTMENT—(sealed) A. J.

Fourteen IIe pause to pay tribute to a dedicated teacher MISS NELLIE BONNER As the record of the school year 1963-64 unfolds in the Echo, we pause to pay tribute to a teacher whose life exemplifies the wonderful qualities we celebrate on our holidays — a teacher whose deep patriotic spirit has inspired thousands of students who have attended her Veterans’ Day programs annually; a teacher who, each year, directs a program at Thanksgiving to help students understand the true meaning of being grateful; a teacher who finds joy in giving of herself, without thought of personal recognition, to her God, to her country, and to her students. It is with respect and admiration that we pay tribute to this dedicated teacher, Miss Nellie Bonner. vi: aki: iiiwki i i 1 HANKSGIVING is and always has been a time of thankfulness. Students at BRHS are thankful for the many opportunities they have in this free nation. WE ARE THANKFUL—for the freedom to seek knowledge for our future occupations. The curriculum at our school is varied and prepares the individual for his chosen field. Courses are offered in college preparatory, commercial, general, and vocational fields. We at BRHS are fortunate in having able men and women to teach and to guide us. WE ARE THANKFUL—for our modern building and its numerous facilities. BRHS has well-equipped Spanish and chemistry labs and a good library. The rooms used for summer school are air-conditioned for the benefit of teachers and students. WE ARE THANKFUL—especially, for our gym, in which pep rallies and sports events are held, and for our recently completed auditorium which is used for general assemblies and special programs by the school and for various purposes by the community. WE ARE THANKFUL—for the privilege of being Americans with parents who love us enough to insure our future by providing an education for us.

On June 16 and November 4, 1963, terrible accidents claimed the lives of two senior boys, Darryl Nelson and Robert Akin respectively. These fine boys had looked forward to the night when they would walk across the stage into a whole new life. Now, the empty places they left can be filled only with memories. Thirty-three Holidays through the Years I HIS school year of 1963-64 is the fulfillment of a dream for the Senior Class. Twelve years ago, in September of 1952, formal education began for 280 boys and girls in three schools in Alexander City. Most of these same frightened first-graders have remained classmates throughout these years. In 1960 we entered the Benjamin Russell High School as freshmen, perhaps as frightened as we were in the first grade, for this was a New Year in every way for us— a new school, new teachers, a new way of life and learning. Excitement ran high as the football season closed, and we celebrated having been named Confederate Champs. In our sophomore year Christmas found us toiling to sell boxes and boxes of Christmas cards for the Student Council, to raise money for a gift to the school. During our junior year, around St. Patrick's Day, 150 of us were proudly showing off our class rings, and we used the theme Mardi Gras when we were hosts to the seniors at the annual prom. Halloween came our senior year after we had completed our class project, selling Halloween candy. Six days before Thanksgiving, all hearts were saddened as the news reached us that our President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was dead. Spring found us awaiting the Junior-Senior Prom. We were one of the largest classes ever to graduate from BRHS and the first class to receive our diplomas in the beautiful new auditorium. In order to have our gowns match the decor of the auditorium, we changed the graduation colors from maroon to “Alabama red.” This, in a way, was Independence Day for us, for after that night we would go our separate ways, to earn our places in the world. As we looked back over the holidays that had paraded before us for the past twelve years, we realized that May 29 was one of the most important days in our lives, for it was G-Day, Graduation Day.

Poems from the Cinder — —Homecoming— October 25, 1963 Twas the day of the homecoming and all through the school. Every student was stirring, but not breaking a rule. The pep-rally was planned with the greatest of care, In hopes that 2:15 soon would be there; The students were scurrying all through the halls, And in their heads were visions of flying footballs. Mr. Causey in his office and teachers in class, Could hardly wait for this day to pass. When out in the halls there arose such a clatter, Then all the teachers knew what was the matter. (It was 2:15) Away to the gym we all ran like a flash, To cheer for our team and its annual clash. The cheerleaders down front on the shiny gym floor, Cheered and cheered and then cheered some more; When what to our wondering eyes should appear, But Coach Noland with his own special cheer. When he finished his speech, we left with a bound, Headed for the parade going through town. In the parade was Miss Homecoming so fair, And also Miss Echo with her golden hair. With them their maids were riding along. Being watched with envy by the excited throng. Officers were riding in club-sponsored cars, While the band marched along playing musical bars. Up in the bleachers at the game that night, Were old grads and newcomers alike; To cheer their team on to victory, With a vast amount of loyalty. Then quick as a flash the moment struck, (7:30) The game began with an announcement saying, “Happy Homecoming to all, and to all Good Luck!” (Pat Hardy and Glenda Avery) Thanksgiving Hang Down Your Head, Tom Turkey (To be sung io the tune of Tom Dooley) Hang down your head, Tom Turkey. Hang down your head and cry. Hang down your head, Tom Turkey. Poor boy, you’re gonna die. Saw him in an oak tree— There I took his life. Saw him in an oak tree— Shot him with my forty-five. Hang down your head, Tom Turkey. Hang down your head and cry. Hang down your head, Tom Turkey. Poor boy, you’re gonna die. This time the twenty-fourth— Reckon where you will be? In some kitchen, in some dressing With a lot o’ company. Hang down your head, Tom Turkey. Hang down your head and cry. Hang down your head, Tom Turkey. Poor boy, you’re gonna die. (Diana McGill) -25th Christmas Jingle Bells Dashing through the halls, With no books in our hands, Through the doors we’ll go, To join the happy clan. Bells no more will ring To make us go to class. So we’ll laugh and sing Until the very last. Then back to school we’ll go After two weeks at home, To hear you ring some more And through the halls we’ll roam. —Chorus— Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle all the same, We’ve loved to hear you ring since the first day we came. (Phyllis Anderson) Twinkle, Twinkle Twinkle, Twinkle, little reindeer nose, My, oh my, look how it glows. On Dancer, On Prancer, On Comet, On Blitzer, This season could not possibly be Halloween or Easter. (Reggie Brewer) Hour— If suddenly you found an extra hour, Lingering at the end of one long day. What would you do; would you use it? Or would you just throw it away? Would you pick up a good book, Or be one who sits and stares? Or would you think of the major problems In our large world affairs? Would you take advantage of this hour And make something of yourself? Or would you do like many a person And tuck it behind on a shelf? This is a serious question. What would you do or say If suddenly you found an extra hour At the end of one long day?

EASTER — when an awakening world experiences a rebirth of beauty SPRINGTIME with all its freshness and beauty is highlighted by the Easter season. Around Easter, thoughts turn to loveliness, and women everywhere try to make themselves more attractive. BRHS has a continual season of beauty, and with it comes the election of the homecoming queen and her court and Miss Echo and her court. The Key Club and the F.F.A. select two lovely girls as their sweethearts and Senior Who’s Who honors are announced. All of these activities are but a rebirth of things in previous years. Year after year new students are elected. Thus continues the cycle of school life. Since Easter comes in the springtime, the loveliest, freshest season of the year, it is a time of beauty and great expectation. Easter is but another holiday on the road to graduation for the excited seniors. Seventy Holidays on Parade Memories are made, both happy and sad, Of days of unforgotten splendor; Work days, play days, and holidays, Memories that time cannot hinder. The reverence of Easter brought fresh to our minds, The resurrection of the Savior of all mankind; The birthday of our nation on July Fourth, Brought booming firecrackers both South and North; Halloween came as usual on October thirty-first. We had so much fun it seemed as if we would burst. Our patriotic spirit rose to its height on Veteran’s Day, As we observed it with our program in the usual way. This year our Thanksgiving was filled with grief, The assassination of our President brought disbelief. Christmas, as always, brought so much pleasure That the memories of it hold everlasting treasure. Holidays on Parade, Yea, even when we are gone, Time, people, places forgotten, But memories linger on.

A. MERICANS become more patriotic around the Fourth of July. Firecrackers blaze North and South, and the “red, white, and blue” streams from every street corner and waves from every roof. A national effort is made to display loyalty and pride in our great nation, a nation mentally and physically fit. BRHS is proud too, proud of the variety of sports at our school, of the students who participate in these sports, and of the excellent way in which these students represent BRHS. Almost every season of the year is the season for some special sport, and every sport has its faithful band of supporters. No season is without athletic activities, and all activities are greeted with warm enthusiasm and support by the students. We at BRHS are proud of our school and “will follow her colors flung out to the sky.” Ninety-eight CHEERLEADERS (Lower row) Clarene Holloway, Julia Keel, Anita Gordon (head).

One Hundred One Bunn finds runnin' room What happened to the law of gravity Away we go BRHS vs. ROANOKE Terry Butler scored the only touchdown of the game, winning it 7-0 for the BRHS Wildcats. Terry went over from the three after a hard-fought battle with the Tigers to get in scoring range. The Wildcats almost had another T.D. from the Roanoke 10, but time ran out. BRHS vs. WETUMPKA As fate would have it, the game ended in a tie. BRHS 13 - Wetumpka 13. The Wildcats scored first with a run from kickoff by Phil Tankersley. The half ended 7-6 in the Wildcats’ favor. A penalty late in the game against the ’Cats cost them the winning point. BRHS vs. LANETT A mighty Lanett forward wall and a fast backfield cancelled the ’Cats’ hope of a victory by a score of 21-7. Once ranked fourth in the state, Lanett was held in the first half to but 7 points. The smaller Wildcat team was finally overcome by sheer weight, the Panthers winning the outcome 21-7. BRHS vs. OPELIKA The tie last year between Opelika and Alex City was avenged this year with a 21-20 victory over the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs put up a mighty effort though. Highlight of the game for Opelika was a 90-yard sprint by Tim Mannin. BRHS vs. SYLACAUGA Bitter rivals, the Wildcats and the Aggies fought to a 0-0 tie that crisp Friday night. The scoring advantage went to the Wildcats, but to no avail. The score at the end of the game was 0-0. BRHS vs. AUBURN The favored Wildcats went down in defeat to a fired-up Auburn squad this year. Nothing seemed to work for the Wildcats, and the Tigers took advantage of it, winning the game 14-7. BRHS vs. VALLEY The powerful Valley Rams were held to but two touchdowns during the Wildcats’ homecoming. The Wildcats put on the best offensive and defensive show of the season during this game. But the game ended without a score from the ’Cats. Valley won 14-0. BRHS vs. B. B. COMER Comer’s line, one of the biggest the Wildcats faced during the season, proved to be the winning factor for B. B. Comer. The PAT went wide after the BRHS T.D. This proved to be the game. The score at the end of the game was 7-6, but the Wildcats went down fighting. BRHS vs. DADEVILLE The Benjamin Russell Wildcats retained the Sellers Trophy again this year by defeating Dade-ville 26-7. The ’Cats defense and offense were too much for the rival Tiger team. BRHS vs. TALLASSEE The Tallassee Tigers fell again this year before a determined Wildcat squad, 14-6. The Wildcats were determined to win the last home game of the season; they did. Both offense and defense played well that night.

S. Capiain Jerry Cleveland, Coach Charles Lee, Captain Tommy Lassman Having joined the coaching staff in 1955, Coach Lee has compiled a record of winning, unequalled by any other wrestling coach in the state. He has produced six consecutive State Championship teams with thirty-four individual state champions. He has also won the Georgia-Alabama interstate wrestling meet for the last two years. In the fall of 1955 plans were laid to introduce wrestling into the BRHS athletic program. The seasons of 1956-57 and 1957-58 were building years for Coach Lee and the wrestling program. Not winning the state championship either of these years but placing in competition both years, the wrestlers had a sound foundation of knowledge, experience, and leadership. These qualities were to pay off in the next year’s state match and in the years to follow. In the season of 1958-59 BRHS won her first state championship trophy. On her first state team BRHS boasted six out of eleven on the all-state team. In the season 1959-’60 six more allstaters brought home our second state trophy. In 1960-’61 Alabama entered her first interstate meet with Georgia. BRHS, in this year, gained her third state championship trophy with six more state champs. BRHS’s fourth state trophy came to her in 1961-’62. Also this year an interstate trophy was awarded to BRHS for the most points contributed to the interstate team. The year 1962-’63 found BRHS winning her fifth state trophy with four more state champs. These four boys also brought home the interstate high-point team trophy. Thirty-four state champs, nine interstate champs, six state championship trophies, and four interstate trophies are the rewards of fine athletic ability and fine coaching.

My space capsule fell into the wrong orbit, and I became hopelessly marooned on Venus. Because of injuries received during my emergency landing, I could never return to Earth. Even though the Venetians were kind to me, I still longed to see my Earthling friends. Since my ten-year absence caused me to miss the class reunion in ’74, I was very curious to know what my fellow classmates were doing. After a year of wondering and making a list of my classmates, I decided to send one of my Venus friends to Earth to get information on the whereabouts of my mates of ’64. Six months later my friend returned with this report: “As I flew over Washington, D. C., I saw President Johnny Dark and his cabinet in session. Vice-president Marvin Wagoner was assisting him. Some of the cabinet members were Larry French, Secretary of Labor; Willie Paul Harry, Secretary of Agriculture; and Edmon Horton, Secretary of Defense. They were discussing foreign affairs with the Ambassador to the Moon, Gary Huffman. Taking dictation was Fran Rape, the President’s secretary. “In Maryland I ran upon the World’s Circus, now owned by Wanda Hicks. Some of its performers were universally known. The famous Diana McGill and Lewis Ray were daring trapeze artists. The bareback riders were the great Joyce McClellan and Dathia McLeroy. Glenda Thompson and Jerrie Dale Thornton were magnificent jugglers. The daring, death-defying lion trainers were Sandra Montgomery and Barbara Wilson. The great horse trainer was Tommy Spears. In the audience of this great circus I spotted Robert Peoples, who is now a D. O. teacher; Kerry Rush, a car dealer; Amelia Wilbanks, a psychiatrist; and Joe Parker, a sports announcer. “My fuel was running low, and I stopped in Maine for refuel at a Missile Service Station. Running the station were Billy Wayne Fuller and Ken Torgerson. Their chief mechanic, Edmond Blake, checked by technical instruments. After a few minutes in the station’s snack bar, run by Judy Campbell, I resumed my journey. “Being unfamiliar with the U. S., I ventured too far north and entered the Canadian district of Quebec. I stopped for information at the Canadian Mounty Station. Sergeant Jimmy Crew gave me directions, and Ronnie Foster gave me a U. S. map. “While flying over Michigan, I saw the Detroit General Motors, Inc. The present owners are Banks Sexton, Larry Pemberton, and Douglas Hamby. Lawrence Sims, head designer, had just completed a new model for Charles Fraim, five-time winner of the Indianapolis 5000. Ch;ef mechanics are Jack Sharpe and Harry Mann. Head of the Thunderbird division of Ford Motor Company is Pat Hardy. “Because of some mechanical error I once more found myself over New York. In New York City I saw Sac’s Department Store. It is now run by Effie Jo Turner. Chief seamstress is Phyllis Anderson. Head salesladies are Dianne Sherrill, Carolyn Joiner, and Mary Lee Radney. Directing 5th Avenue traffic was patrolwoman Cherry Thompson. “Music was really at its height. The New York Philharmonic was featuring its star clarinetist Cooper Askew and pianist Rose Hayes. The Broadway Theatre, owned by Nadine Mask, was having a sell-out on “My Love On Mars’’ —starring Martha Harris and Van Woodall. Selling popcorn were Cynthia McCain and Dorothy Matthews. Reporting the events for the New York Times was Scott Langley. “Suddenly I picked up this unearthly noise on my sound-o-scope. It turned out to be the newest dance, “the Moon Dog.” I soon learned from the DJ, Phil Tankersley, that the song, “Moon Dog” was recorded by Gerald Carmichael and the Space Angels, Pat Sprayberry and Martha Tidwell. The sponsor for the show that I was tuned in to was Super Duper Soda Pop, manufactured by Ricky Robinson. As my sound-o-scope contacted other sound waves, something called a “football game” came into hearing. The Chicago Bears were playing the Martian Monsters. Star players for the Bears are Harry Hayes, Terry Butler, and Bobby Towns. “After a minute’s ride, I came into Colorado, where the Universal Space Command was located. At the head of this base was General Wayne Skinner. He was interviewing the three women who have been selected to make an expedition to Pluto. They will be the first Earthlings to explore it. They are as follows: Lt. Carol Spates, Pvt. Annette Smith, and Corp. Carolyn Smith. The take-off will be televised universally by BVQRD, headed by Mike Ransom and Eric Stoff-regen. Announcing the event will be Glenn Colquitt. One Hundred Thirty-nine “Leaving Colorado, I passed over Nevada, where a group of scientists were in conference over an unidentified flying object which had landed in a Las Vegas swimming pool. Investigating this strange incident were Troy Duck, Judson Johnston, Charles Dunaway, Tommy Farmer, Thomas Grant, Marsha Griffin, and Barbara Edwards. “While flying over California, I located several of your friends. In Disneyland, run by Walter Coley, I saw Benny Bailey and Larry Baker selling bubble gum and balloons. Selling tickets at the entrance were June Abernathy, Judy Taylor, and Gloria Channell. Guiding a boat through the tunnel of love was Ted Collins. In Frontierland I saw David Walker making teepees, and Jean Fuller and Linda Haynes were designing totum poles. As I flew away, I saw Paula Rogers making miniature Donald Ducks. “Coming into Hollywood, I spotted Elaine Baker swimming in her diamond-shaped pool, designed by Carolyn Mann. In Beverly Hills, I saw Jerry Ray's new ten-story dream house. He had just completed the movie, “Walk Like A Man,” co-starring Nancy Prather, Janis Forbus, and Pat Carlisle. Running one of Hollywood’s most fashionable dress shops were Dianne Holman and Charolene Kilgore. Running Hedda’s Hat Shop were Emily Walker and Judy Nabors. Sybil Hammock was head designer for their hats. I was fortunate enough to have an aerial view of the game between the Dodgers and the New York Yankees. Players for the Dodgers were Bill Pitts, catcher; Wayne Rape, center field; Billy Jack Whaley, pitcher. The Yankee players were Gerald Edwards and David Whaley. Pete Calabro was announcing the game. “As I flew over San Francisco, I spotted a new movie studio. Starring in cartoon comics was Wyndle Brock. Becky Boone was his co-star. “When I arrived in Texas, I passed over the Ponderosa, now owned by James Taunton. Rod Jordan is head of the Texas Cattlemen’s Association. I noticed three residents of Texas were authors. They were Inez Welcher, author of “How Not to Grow Old,” and Julia Caldwell, who wrote “Plant Life on Jupiter.” Faye Pasley is working on a novel, but it is unfinished. “As I entered Louisiana, I saw a famous riding farm owned by Dibba Fox. Johnny Yates, Tommy Lassman, and Jerry Cleveland had wrestling engagements in New Orleans. Jerry Bunn runs a Dairy Queen there. “In Mississippi I saw Gerald Anthony and Ralph Kellum. They now own a chain of ten-cent stores. Roger Burkhalter is in business selling lawn mowers. Pat Hodnett is his bookkeeper. Cecil Dean is a contractor for compact houses. Ronnie Scott runs a Pink Toothpick factory. Chief saleswomen are Linda Nelson, Betty McConnell, and Agnes Traylor. “As I flew over Alabama, I passed Auburn University, which is now headed by Gene Reynolds. Kitty Lynn Adams is Dean of Women, and Margie Bowen is head of the library. The National Convention of College Professors was being held on the campus of the University of Alabama. Martha Williams of Auburn was president. Buster Carlton of the University of Alabama was vice-president. Celia Price of Huntingdon was secretary. Others attending the convention were Dianne Hill, Stanley Prophitt, Jimmy Sewell, Judy Speake, Jane Gargus, Sally Adamson, Brenda Adamson, and Joyce Williams. “Upon seeing Alexander City, I noticed Bobby Williams was selling insurance. Jerry Pearce now has a chain of curb markets. At BRHS Gloria Adams teaches home economics, and Glenda Avery operates the library. Housewives in Alex City are June Ray, Ann Pitchford, Jackie Patton, and Gloria Bence. “As I came to Florida, I saw Jimmy Petrey lifeguarding at Daytona Beach. Teaching ski lessons were Herbert Dunaway and Kenny Tabasky. “From Florida I went to Cuba. An international police convention was being held there. Johnny Spears of the U. S. was president of the convention. Members were Walter Smith of England, Nicky Peters of France, Terry Schrimscher of Viet Nam, and Mike Sanders of the Congo. “As I gathered my information, I noticed that I had completed most of my mission. I passed a moon-bound passenger rocket, and I noticed that it was piloted by Ronnie Railey and Jerry W. Ray. Gwen Formby was one of the stewardesses. “When I came into the landing district of Venus, I saw a strange looking space machine. I soon learned that it was piloted by Connie Walters, the last person on my list. I hurried to my Earthling friend to deliver the information I had gathered on my expedition to the U.S.A. on Earth.” Witnesses: Lynn Peters, Echo Prophet Rose Hayes Lynda Hebson Glenda Price One Hundred Forty Chamber of Commerce Patrons Alexander City Bank Alexander City Grocery Co.
