e to TYLER ECHGESQ nlt seems that Robert Lewis and Ormond Starkey will race to see who will be president at that time. Alfred Traugh will help them campaign because he expects to be the champion pol- itician. I guess you will have to ask Helen Statler which one Alfred intends to support. She intends to be a mind reader so she'll be valuable to either one.N R t I know the one who's going to fly the president-- ober or Ormond--to Washington. Howard Newbrough, the foremost aviator of America will do that. Robert Sands and Victor Hickman will go along as his engineers,n replied Mr. Ju bo. Won't it be a sad procession without any entertainment-- going from Middlebourne to Washington?n questioned Mrs. Jumbo. nOh, entertainment will be previded,n assured Jummie. UGroff Starkey intends to toot his horn triumphantly for Ormond. Bobby Wildman will be the comedian who'll keep the president in a good humor. Elmer Williams will go along as the champion penny pitcher to help the president decide any problems he may have. Robert Virden will be his companion.u nln all their traveling they will never be able to attend churchTEervices. What a shamelu M J R b d at also is taken care of, rs. umbo. o ert assure our future ministers, Frank Sherwood and Virgil Hickman, that they could occupy the royal pulpit. Harley Underwood, Jr. and Charles H. Spencer, Jr. are to be useful as the presi- dent's travleing salesmen. He's also promised Leona Haught the position of librarian in the congressional library, with Edna McGinnis as her assistant. A more successful adminis- tration could not be when Brady Eddy takes his place as bus- iness manager, assisted by Joseph McCutcheon.n NWhat is to become of Billie Rymer?n xHe intends to go west.n why? nDon't be so curious! Marie Nutter is the only one I know who is going tonHollywood to be an actress. So figure it out for yourself. nJummie, aren't we going to have someone who can take care of the County 4-H Camp and be the future County Agent?N nYes, Mrs. Jumbo. John Crumrine is going to be our County Agent and Gertrude Baker's ambition is to be a 4-H Leader. Juanita Haught is going to teach the members how to sew. Alva Doak will teach horse-back riding, and Warren Franklin will have charge of the manual arts. The cooks will be Bessie Smith, Winifred Mercer, and Saramae Moffitt. Evelyn Hays will be the dishwasher. Arnold Lemasters will aid where- ever he can if the girls stay away from him! Hayward Doak will help wherever he can.n - xYhere will this class meet again, Jummie, and when?n n the new Tyler ounty High School building, of course. It will be planned by Charles Watson, the architect, and the crowd will be amused by the band in their new uniforms.n nBong',n resounded the town clock.

But the supporting cast for Tom Sawyer also included Herbert Darnell, the carpenter of the class who contributed a nail keg to the properties of the play, carrying it all the way from the bus garage to the stage, James Mclntyre as the petit negro, with whom Bill Robinson wouldn't dare to competeg William Ball as the tiniestg Ruth DeLong as the little girl who lost her kittyg Carl Gregg with a knack for detecting anything the matter with anythingg Donald Spencer carrying a dead mouse to scare the girlsg Sanford Tustin with an eye for taking care of his own property to assure his future as a prize fighter, Harold Waide, Emeline Fletcher, Billie Fluharty, Irene Mayfield, and Charles H. Spencer also ably supported the cast.U nNow listen, Jummie, didnft the freshmen score another point in the one-act play tournament? It seems to me that there was one.n nRight you are, dearie. They presented The Catalogue. The cast? Winona Ferguson was the young daughterg Jessie Myers, her motherg Thomas Kearns, her fatherg Gordon Waters, her brotherg and Roy Owens, her sweetheart. Thomas and Roy were awarded the honor due them as best actors.N nBut, Jummie, don't we recognize Jessie for something else, too?H Q , nWhere is your memory? Jessie was the candidate from the freshmen class in the race to find Miss Echoes.n - HOh, skip it! 'Jummie, our little Alma Mann is striving to be a musician. I often wonder if she will be able to make that much noise.n nMrs. Jumbo, do you think that we will have any other musicians from the freshmen class?n ' HOh, yes indeed! There are Imogene Long, Marie Martin, Freda Weekley, Jack Gribble, Edwin Ferrell and Paul Edgar who like to play the guitar. I shouldnlt wonder but what they will form a team and appear on Tyler's radio station when it is established. The station will be dubbed Station ECHO. Orvan Keys and William Gorrell will install the equip- ment, and Virgil Wise will help to build the station. Nettie Headley will be the pianist.N ' USeriously, Mrs. Jumbo, don't you think these children will get bored with always being gay and never getting serious about life?n nOh, no, Jummie, you have the disadvantage of being in the hall where you do not see much of their work. I watch them constantly, and I see their serious work. To prove this I know of several who want to become teachers -- Vivian Baker, Wilma Fiber, Fred Gregg, Katherine Huff, Martha Pratt, Garnet Kimble, Helen Wright, and Dorothy Tracy. Success to themlu l nHave you any idea who in the class is striving for the highest position in the country? For about l95O?U NI have heard it discussed somewhat,H ticked Mrs. Jumbo. .1 js11i'5::i:i.,i:gi.f:g,ii 19 as Iiijifi r as , .-...............1.-.....-.-. --,1...-.....,- 'af
