Wells or Edwin Pahlow could do justice to this task and could reveal in a minute description a thousand re- alistic,details, but mine is only a very feeble attemp to tell the story of the last four years of our Senio Class. Pergpps you are a hard, leve1-headed,practi- cal senior who does not care for cloudy abstracticl or musings. You want just facts. On the other hand, you may prefer moments of daydreaming for visualization of You are given to want to remember you look back to or that pleasant the ugood old days' of the past. idealization.

CContinuedl We shall skip the rest of the data and dates prior to September 9, 1958, when we met as the class of '42 under the leadership of Mr. Paul Hogan, our adviser. There were then twenty-seven members in our class. They were as follows: John' Beatty, Ovid Timmons, Lyle Walters, Harry Bowshier,Elwin Bea- vers, Mack Drake, Richard Willoughby, Glenn Haughn, Leora Nano, Isabel McGhee, Gladys Bowshier Geneva Shoaf, Maxine Drake, Pearl Melvin, Helen Hiiton,Leo- ta Sprouse, Warren Dennis, Dolores Beavers,Dale Mar- tin, Theresa Mason, Betty Smith, Robert ' McKinley Nolan sines, Elvin Layton, Paul Thatcher, and Max Neg.
