fi C OC FG HX J K L fi H O PO R STItVWXr 2 4BCOEFGW; r Anybody have a question about the seniors? w ere to begin? Nineteen-fifty — a census taking year! A count of noses reveals 101 students as active members of the senior class. Specifically, 44 of blonde' category, 51 brunettes, and 6 redheads. It was a lean year for gals, however, with the ratio of female-male at 56-45. Thirty - three, almost one-third, of the class wore glasses and two sported goggles (sometimes). The class had the unusual distinction of having four sets of twins and five p.k.’s (preacher's kids). Here we stop classifying, for each member of the entire class had two eyes and two ears, one nose and one mouth, and all wore shoes—a left and a right.
