Gone forever will be the routine of school life, the fun we had, and the friends we made. It is the hope of the 1953 Trojan Staff that, as you glance through this book in the years to come, you will recapture those moments--and the echoes will begin again. 4 STANTON COUNTY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL E.

Let's take a trip into the future in our lime machine and sec what has happened to the class of 1953 ten years from now. In a large city called Johnson the familiar voice of a newsboy can be heard. Upon inquiry wc find that it is none other than Richard Winger who explained to us that he had had to drop out of college because of absentmindedness and had to sell newspapers to keep Marie and all the little ones from starving. The headline at the top of the newspaper Dicky was holding read; SPEED DEMON SOLTER TAKES DECATHLON IN OLYMPICS; FINISHES BY RUNNING QUARTER IN 30 SECONDS. Dicky directed us to the unemployment office where he said we might find some of the other kids. Sure enough, there was Donice Batterton who said she had been unable to find a position as a stenographer because an old schoolmate. Keith Long had invented a mechanical robot, which could take notes while being held on its employers lap. and had taken the jobs of many secretaries. Donice was ready to leave for the day so she accompanied us on our sight seeing tour. On the street Donice pointed toward a neon sign which was flashing Evans Bar and Floor Show . Ah yes. Lee. Wc entered to find Lee busy as in old times. He was surrounded by girls. The lights dimmed and the floor show was in progress. The star of the show was none other than Peggy Raney who sang an old song wc all used to love, How Much is that Doggie in the Window. We had tears in our eyes as we left to call a cab. Upon entering the cab we were surprised to see that Zellymaye Merrill was the lady cabby. She explained that she had tried every profession and nothing amused her as much as the glitter of the city lights. She said she had time to show us around so she took us to the millionaire section of the city to point out the huge estate of James Sylvester Campbell III. He made his millions selling soup. Joan Ray. graduated from C. W.C. and discovered a new way of making six gallons of beef broth from a half pound of hamburger through a secret process called diluiation so Jim informed us. This had caused a boon similar to Hadacol. Farther down the avenue Zellamaye pointed out the skyscraper which housed the insurance company of Phillips. Hunt and Wife. Raymond's wife Carolyn, insisted that her name be included in the title. The reason they had gone into business was that Larry was anxious to have the protection of insurance in case one of the two Ulysses girls with whom he had a fight back in 1953 should ever catch up with him. We left the cab at a drugstore just as an awful crash occurred in the street. We soon learned that a bicycle being ridden by a man had run into the side of a parked automobile. Soon two ambulances arrived on the scene with sirens shrieking. Two nurses rushed to the injured man, each trying to take him to her own ambulance. Memories flashed through our minds and then we remembered the faces. One of the nurses was Martha Colling- wood and the other was Darlene Dye. They yanked the poor man back and forth then, all at once, they dropped him. The poor man staggered to his feet and then we saw who he was. He was none other than Doctor William Dorsey, formerly known as the “Answer Book Kid. He was on his way to his work at the Cat and Dog Hospital. While we were interested in this scene we had to be on our way if we were to see all of our old classmates. We looked up just at the instant that Richard Arnold, his face a mild scarlet, almost bowled us over. Richard quickly made amends and told us that he was in a hurry to get to Pat and Bill Wise's eleventh wedding anniversary party. Richard had become a professional baby-sitter and was going to sit with the Wise's fifteen children. His new title was Rich, the Baby-Battler. We followed Richard and soon found ourselves admiring the beautiful new cars in front of the Wise home. At the party we met Gerald Nafziger. who had been the flashy forward on our high school basketball team, and his wife, the former Evelyn Stanfield. Another guest informed us that the Nafziger's were the parents of six boys who were known as the battling sextet and that instead of a baby-sitter they had to hire a prize fighter to look after the children. Just then a tall sophisticated fellow wearing dark rimmed glassed attracted our attention. He seems to be explaining something and when we got within hearing range we saw that the man was none other than Arky Morris. Ark had graduated from K. U. wher he was an All-American bas- ketball star and then had taken up psychiatry. One of his patients who thought himself to be a dog had bitten him. Arkie was lamenting the cost of the twelve stitches that had to be taken to repair the wound. Arky directed us next door to where Gay Hatton was in charge of a voice studio. Upon entering the house we were surprised to find Gay looking like another Kate Smith. She weighed approximately 250 pounds. She was happily married and had three lovely children. Gay charged five dollars per hour for lessons as the cost of living was going down and she planned to get rich fast. We started back to our lime Machine as it was getting late. We boarded a trolley and upon reading the advertisements at the top of the car were surprised to learn Ronald Wilkerson was a famous movie star. His picture was on an advertisement of his iastest movie. Roger and his Twenty- Four Wives in which he played the leading part of Roger. Wc passed a street called Wilson Avenue and one of the passengers sitting near us ex- plained that it was named in honor of Kerry Wilson who had founded the first cigarette factory in Johnson. His brand of cigarette were advertised as the roundest, fullest, mellowest, most easy on the draw. They were called the Puffy Cigarettes. We decided to leave the trolley when we saw a large crowd of people at an intersection and we were curious to know of the attraction. We walked back toward the crowd and were just in time to see Kenneth Hudgens sneaking into a doorway. Hudge was trying to get away from the autograph seekers. He had just been acclaimed the man with the longest most alluring eyelashes and the whole bobby sox world was rushing him. Before we could locate Hudge the screaming females came round the comer and that was the last we saw of Mr. Hudgens. About that time we heard a loudspeaker announcing the big car races so we rushed to the grandstand and found some seats. Bud Jacques was the popcorn boy and was very embarrassed when he saw us. He said he had lost his nerve when he was a wreck once but he still loved racing. 11a June and little Denton sold peanuts on the other side of the stand. Bud informed us that Eva Gillum was in the next race and that she was the world champion hot rod driver. Paul was her chief mechanic and also looked after their kids during the races. It was about supper time so we left the races and entered a restaurant. A waitress who giggled as if she had a pocket full of feathers came to serve us. Yes. wc were positive of it. it was Georgia Cantrell. The place was called “Glenn's lunches with a Smile. The smile was Georgia's half of the place. Georgia said that she had recently received a letter from Phyllis Kendrick who was in Africa teaching the pigmies jup-)itsu so they could defend themselves since poison darts had gone out of style. Finishing our meal wc started on our way to the machine. As we passed the Waldorf Hotel a young lady, dressed in the very latest fashion and reeking of perfume came out. Men were flocking around her. A limousine pulled up and a chaffeur alighted to open the door. Where to Miss Cockrcham? Yes. of course it was Elsie Lu. The usual place. said Elsie to the driver and they left. We asked the doorman about Elsie's occupation and he told us that she had been married eight times and was now on her way to court to get another divorce. He said that she married only the wealthy so that after this divorce she could marry her high school sweetheart. Larry Snook, and they could live a life of ease on the alimony she received. We noticed a sign reading STANTON COUNTY COLLEGE one block. We found most of the class but there were still two we hadn't seen. We inquired of the dean of the college if the Garrisons were enrolled, and sure enough they were. They lived in an apartment on the campus so we dropped in to see them. Charlene had finished school and was teaching the gym class but Jimmie was still struggling and he boastfully said that at the end of the semester he hoped to become a sophomore. Assured that all of the class were succeeding and that they would make their Alma Mater proud of them we climbed into the Time Machine and headed back to our present time. Sponsored by R. J.
