When we came almost to shore, my guide, Max Johnson, told me that the vineyards all along the bank were all owned by partners, by name Roy Shultz and Eugene Sain. I decided to cut my tour short and do some shopping. Upon entering the exclusive fashion shop, I recognized the Dorsey twins, Mary Lee and Rosa Lee, and told them I wanted to see several styles of white formals. I was even more astounded when the streamlined models, Josie Spenser and Carolyn Green, came before me in a beautiful array of Chif- fon evening wear, all designed by the famous designers, Clafton Tessner and Rosa Nell Armstrong. After purchasing a lovely gown, I needed a pair of satin shoes to complete my ensemble which I bought at the Mademoiselle Shop. The proprietors were Jean Wyant, Peggy Scronce, and Linda Gilbert. My day being completed, I decided to have dinner at the Fountain Bleu where I was entertained by Lib Hoover, Jane Killian, and Clara Cochrane doing their well- known French Dance. Upon returning to my hotel room, for a much needed rest, I read the newspaper and my eyes nearly bulged out when I saw the headlines which read American guest of Queen Elizabeth. Seeing that the boy's face looked familiar I read farther to discover it was my high school friend, Larry Leonard. Quickly leafing through the paper another article caught my eye. Brenda Sain, who has won world fame as a novelist is working on a book of phychology and is being assisted by Brenda Carswell, psychiatrist, called to France from the United States. The next morning I had to rush like mad to get to the Palace of Versailles before ten o'clock. At the Palace of Versailles the Peace Conference is to be held in the Hall of Mirrors. As I went into the room I was escorted by B. E. Gilbert and later found out that Jimmy Elmore was also a page-boy. After the conference started, I recognized the faces of Christine Crowder and Janice Anderson. Later I discover that they are representatives from the United Nations. By now you are wondering what I was doing in France. It so happens that I was rep- resenting the United States at the World Peace Conference. Oh! On the way home I took an airplane, the stewardess, Nancy Sain, was very nice to me. I also noticed a couple sitting behind meg I turned around to see Joyce and Olen Travis. Joyce told me that they were on their second honeymoon. My daydream came to an abrupt end when Mrs. Rhyne asked me to translate a paragraph in French. Prophet, Mary Lee Taylor f X 'N 'xl X 'X I 1 S

Where Does Uur Future Lie? CSEN IOR CLASS PROPH EC YJ One day in Mrs. Rhyne's second period French Class, while I wasn 't thinking about the French Lesson at all - don 't get me wrong, French isn 't a bore, but when she starts handing out all that jazz about Vieux homme prendre le diner and ill fail manuvais, ' that's enough to start anybody daydreaming. So that 's how I happen to be there ten years later on the luxurious OCEAN QUEEN bound for Paris. Being adventurous as always, I investigated beyond the ropes where no one is allowedg and before I knew what had happened, the boat lurched and I fell over- board! After struggling for a few minutes in the water, I was rescued by a handsome skin-diver who turned out to be Jerry Canipe, an old schoolmate. Patsy McKnight, the social director, helped me get prepared to meet the captain. I was taken before the captain, and as I stood in front of a huge desk, I looked into the solemn, stern face of an old friend, Barry Sain. After the ship docked and Barry explained the rules, he asked me out to dinner. I accepted, and we went to La Cuisine Parisienne. As soon as we walked in, I smelled the wonderful aroma of pizza. I glanced toward the kitchen and saw Brenda Gilbert - she was the Chef. While eating dinner, we were entertained by Judy lonas, who sang and pantomimed the La Bataille d' Oreleans. After dinner I went to find a hotel. It was getting late, but the hotel owner, Franklin Schronce, said that he had several vacant rooms. I guess some friends always remain friends, because Jimmy Taylor and Timmy Reynolds turned out to be the hotel bell hops. When I got to my hotel room, I was very tired, but I decided to watch television for a few minutes. And, what more could anyone ask for than an American sports reel. First was the world series, which had been played off, and the winning Dodgers' star, Clyde Ingle, who had always played baseball. Then came the Southern Five Hundred races, won by a fast 1960 Impala Chevrolet driven by Jerry Huss. The announcer, Sonny Wise, signed the sports reel off, and next came a commercial. The lady who was advertising Revlon Cosmetics looked familiarg and as I looked at Madgalene Helms, I thought of high school days. At that time, I turned off the television and went to sleep. The next morning, relaxed and feeling energetic, I made my way downstars. I went to a neat little restaurant, where I saw Mattie Ann Smith and Jane Propst as wait- resses. They told me that they had been in France for four years. After breakfast, I took a boat ride down the Seine River. My taxie turned out to be Ralph Grill, who was my bus driver in high school. Gliding down the river, I noticed huge, beautiful green pastures and dairy barns. As we passed the house, I glanced at the mailbox and saw the name, Bobby Abernethyg I never dreamed that Bobby would be one of the world's greatest cheese producers.

Class Poem MAGIC MOMENTS Come with me, take my hand. I'm taking you, seniors, to a magic land, We'll walk again in primary days, To recall jolly times of our school-child phrase. We hastened to learn, so very quick, Our reading, 'ritin, and 'rithmetic. And, as if we were in a daze, Time passed quickly, in a haze. Not many dunce caps were placed on our heads. The teachers delighted with spankings, instead. lust studying wasn 't all, Everyone loved to play, especially ball. Then, at last, our time grew near, The great day had come, our Freshman year, New duties were ours, jobs were begung We, soon learned a new song would be sung! We were the jolliest under the sun. Those last years were to be, Our high-school educational destiny, Finally, the wonderful year shall come, The class of '60, Gee, our life's just begun. Our class consists of 41, I shall enumerate, For next spring, we shall graduate, When, we, together do convene, There's Three Brendas, two Janes, and one Jean. Handsome Bobby, Friendly Timmie, Talky Max and two Jimmys, Pretty Patsy, and Clyde, our king, Sweet Rosa Nell, and intelligent Larry and Madgalene, Athletic Barry, Franklin, Josie, Carolyn and Snook, Whizzes at ball, smart in books. lndustrious Janice and Christine are to be seen, Nice Clafton, Rosa Lee and let's not forget likeable Eugene Serious Mattie Ann, and Peggy, her pal, Two Jerrys and Roy to boost our morale. Among the group you will see, Lively Joyce and quiet, B. E. Clara, a nice girl and two cute Mary Lees Sonny, Linda, Ralph, and, of course, there's me. We'll never forget our teacher, so kind, Our patient and energetic, Mrs. Rhyne!
