THE CLASS PICTURE When I first contemplated drawing this word picture of the Class of 1947 I thought the job would be easy, but the longer I considered the task before me the more I realized the magnitude of it. Many great paintings have been placed on canvas and thousands of pictures of finest clarity and sharpness have been taken. Yet not one of the old masters nor the most skillful of all photographers could catch our class, composed of its seventv-two members, who in many respects differ as night and day, and yet fit so well together into what we feel is the greatest of all the many groups to pass from the portals of our Alma Mater. To reproduce it in its true light and color or in any way do justice to it would require a superhuman effort. It is with these thoughts before me that I begin, but first I offer my most humble apologies, especially to my classmates, for this feeble attempt at reproduction. $ $ « $ Of the thirty-one boys in our class the tallest is James Bones Heddleston who reaches to the 6'4 mark. The other end of the line is held jointly by Lyle Brammer and Paul Dutton who, with their heels against the wall and shoes on, manage to stretch to 5'6 . As to tipping the scales, Joe Boley takes all honors (minus the usual blue ribbon) with his 185 pounds. The atom weight champ cf our class is Benny Wagner, who, with a few Indian-head pennies and his hands in his pockets, weighs in at 124 pounds and possibly 1 or more odd ounces. In counting the girls (using a few borrowed fingers) we find there are 41. Standing above the others at 5'10 is Mary Smittle who eats her Whealies every day. The title of Shorty goes to not one but three maids who with their high heels on manage to reach 5'1 : Betty Hammett, June Roby, and Neva Stewart. The Amazon of the class is Ileane Matheny, who brings the pointer to 145. At the other end we have Katie Kester at 98 pounds who is closely followed by Anita Farson and Darlene Dotson at 100 and 101 respectively. It is easy to see that these girls are constantly in danger when there is a stiff wind blowing. In age the girls range from Ruth Roden who is but 16 years and 9 months old, io Lucille Campbell who is 20 years and 4 months old. The boys range from Gerald Bills who is 17 years and 1 month old to Joe Boley, Bill Heddleston, and John McSweeney who all are 21 years and 9 months young. Taken together in body as we are in spirit it is easy to see that our place in the future will be an important one. We are now 1,335 years, 5 months old which is an age at which we should (and we do) have great knowledge not only of the ways of life, but also in almost all lines. We are 409 feet 1 inch tall which enables us to look out over the world for the better things in life. It also permits
