To my amazement, the revelations were astonishing. I shall try to give you some idea of what the gods have in store for us. Billie xuone and Joy Seely had settled all tneir difficul- ties and lived in New York, where he carried the pig skin for a noted professional team. Shades of the gods: was I seeing things? Was that Hula dancing teacher really Dorthy Tarver? Yes, and she was doing the step to perfection. The scene suddenly shifted and there was Geraldine Jones, a sophisticated movie star, topping even Hedy Lamarr in beauty and charm, while Dee Ester Bishop was mak- ing hersaif ae famous as Lillian Russell in the Metropolitan. Wayne Pate was a dentist wno could find any cavity tnat nad been misplaced. Rolene Mundy was showing a famous basket ball team how to find the basket. And Barney McAfee!! Why he was a reformed person and a minister of the gospel. In the distance I saw the big tops of a circus. On drawing nearer the names of Stinson and Hassenpflug greeted my eyes. Two glaringly advertised attractions were James Cook, the Tal 1 Man and Minnie Ola Kelly, the exceedingly Fat Woman. Jimmy joe Waide had realized her life dream and was happi- ly married to the captain of the U.S.S. Nightmare. Monroe Davidson was the king of o spagetti house in Horshoe Bend and, believe it or not, that slender trim figure had become a second Jimmy Jeffries. Mary Alice MeReynolds was a Woman in White and had a habit of falling in love with each of her male patients. Harold B. King had become a dead man’s friend--incredibly enough—an under- taker. I noticed from an attractive sign on Main Street, that Lois Blakely had risen to fame as the owner and operator of the Pugsy Beauty Salon in Ar yle. Cecil Vaughan had organized his personal chorus of whistler; Of course, they were ladies, for he was still a ladies1 man. Ou classmates were well supplied with musical blood in their veins, for Lewis Harris was the leader of the Joinin' Jitterbugs” a googie woogie swing band. Idaleene Scheu had become the No. I Debutante of t he year (still having her eighteenth birthday). Looking through a local paper, I noticed tmt Carrell Lan- caster had risen to the height of a severe professor of English in the Texas State College for Women and doing Quite well among the women. We think that he was happily married to Novice Reynolds, the Dean of Women and Master of Dramatics in the sane school. Billie Jean Amyx had moved to Tioga to be near her good friend, Faye Rickett, and to try to catch the Autry spirit. This class of 41 had risen to fame in many fields. Pauline Christian had become an air stewardess on the Trans- Picific Airlines. Kyker Smith was gaining publicity as a come- dian on a weekly hook-up over station N-U-T Willie Faye Selzer was still wearing her favorite color— Brown—but in a different way—she married him. Bob Hood had become noted in still another field. He was a great stage actor and had filled the title made famous by John Barrymore — The Great Profile . Ben Harvey was the advertising manager of Oklahoma’s leading newspaper the HcukOJ Chronicle; vhile Gene Tarver, a notorious gangster, was wanted for murder in throe states and for four years back alimony.

J-reskmevi VOLLEY BALL GIRLS The volley ball 5irls entered several tournaments in the county and won first place in Class A in the County Meet. The school bought six new suits this year and the girls were very proud of them. More girls came out for volley ball this year than ever before. Joy Seely, a very efficient and dependable player, leaves the team since she is a senior. Joy has lettered four years in volley ball, and she kept up the fighting spirit among the girls. Billie Adele Burroughs, a junior, proved to be a good play- er for her first year. She practiced with the intentions of making the team and this she did. Frankye Jo Brown, who was Lucille’s right hand partner, was a dependable server and driver. Frankye Jo is a junior, too. Lucille Holder, the team’s captain and a good one, was the wizard at driving the ball. If once Lucille drove one it was well driven. She was dependable at any position on the court. She is a sophomore. Ouida Miller, a junior and co-captain of the team, did her best playing at the net as a driver. She was a good sport and always had a smile whether victory or defeat came our way. Mary Hampton, the high point player on the team brought Sanger through many tights with ht.r hard, swift serving and good driving. This is her second year; she is also a sopho- more. Mildred Willis, a sopnomore, has played on the team two years and is a good player. Miss Stinson, our coach, encouraged the team on to many victories. She was patient and the girls thought very much of her as the coach of the season of 1940-1941. Mary Alice MeReynolds, a senior, and her first year to plwy was an encouraging substitute to the team. Mary played in several games. She was a good pleyer. Other substitutes: Emma Lee Green, Lottie Carr, Ethel Faye Robinson, Ruelene Wilson, Nannie Pearl Christian.

Pate: Wayne, a senior, who played his first year, was a fast man with lots of hustle. King: Harold B., a senior who lettered for two years, was the ’•Quarterback of the team and scored many points from his guard position.

Kelton: John, a senior who received his first letter, improved as the season progressed and made the team a good man Toone: Bill, a senior who lettered for two years, is a tall, rangy boy who played guard but did not let it interfere with his point making, being good on rebounds. HcClendon: Two-Gun , a junior, was the best hustler of the squad as well as the smallest. lie could cover any big man and was good on long shots from the side. This v as his first letter, and he will be back next year.
