 Charles Patrick has just finished writing his autobi- ography and handed it to his wife. When she gave him a ques- tioning look, he replied: Why, you see, my dear, I don’t tell white lies. Mine are all in technicolor. Down in Tennessee Jimmy White is a country doctor. His office hours are from pain in the morning until groan at nite. His neighbor and the Justice of peace in that community is Adlai Decker. Betty Anton, better known as the girl with the iron lungs is the only lady tobacco auctioneer in the world. She runs a tobacco plantation in Virginia. Too often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely lengthens the conversation. Well, Shirley Koroma has traveled and now she talks like a revolving door. New Mexico has not only a desert, mountains, Indians, Indian dwellings and Carlsbad Caverns, but also Oletta Winsted, the tenth wonder of the world, who sings, dances, and plays the marimba all at the same time at Hopalong’s Nite Club. The vagabond of the class is Gene Hileman. He intended to be a great man but his studies were ofaly pursued and never effectually overtaken. Thelma Taff is on the staff of the Hutchison News Herald offering advice to the love-lorn. She has taken the place of Sylvia Sage in the hearts of her many readers and is now offer- ing advice to the various offspring of the class of 50 . And now, ladies and gentlemen, our time is running short, but before we sign off. Station S.H.S. wishes to say Congratu- lations to the class of ’50 and may there be enough clouds in each one’s life to make a beautiful sunsetI Of this year’ w w tta Winsted, Mearle Simpson, Betty Anton, Doris Groth and Ross Summers embarked upon the adventure of learning in the first grade at the Satanta Grade School. Darrell Bryant came along in the third grade and in the fifth Andy Anderson arid Jimmy White were added. In the Seventh grade the United Carbon Company sent their children to our schools and we acquired Gene Barker, Dolores Shepard Jerry Curtis, Sue Daily; Betty Jo Unger moved from the country to join us at this time. Thelma Taff, Mary Ann Battles, Louise Madden and Charles Patrick introduced themselves to us in the eighth grade. Starting our sophomore year we gained Adlai Decker and Jerry McQuitty. We took on Gene Hileman, Eugene Utt and Shirley Komma during our junior year to complete this years senior class. There were many others who came and stayed for a few years and then left us again as their parents moved on to other work. Our class life and associations have been uneventful; however, one event will remain in our memories. The loss of Ralph Smith early in our senior year, after having been with us from the first grade, will not be forgotten.
