Norman Moody's Orchestra furnished the music and, although financially we didn't come out so well, everyone seemed to have a happy holiday. It was a grand sight to see one of the home-town boys take home the silver dish. Again in March, we sponsored Jimmie and Dick. In the future class meetings, we'll probably think of more money-making ideas , but for now that's the latest inside information. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the students, faculty, townspeople, and anyone else who has helped us in our four years at Union High. The Senior Class - FRESHMAN RECEPTION Freshman Reception was held on September 23. Union High was a scene of fun and laughter. Gordon Grinnell was the Master of Ceremonies with Mr. Gibson as faculty ad- visor. Other Sophomores helped in providing the entertainment. The Grand Entrance was a clanking of wagons drawn by the Freshmen. Sandra Richards' act was the first feature of the evening. She paraded. around the gym pulling a train and making a noise like a train whistle-. Beth Young and Robert Newbert provided the love scene and what do you know--Bob succeeded! Grade Calderwood gave an exhibition of her love for dancing. juanita Upham sang Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain while a Sophomore sprinkled water on her from a step-ladder. The milk bottle broke when Charlene King tried to sit on it and write the word fish , Sandra Morine and Gary Newbert had an argument over a hat that Mrs. Thrift fSandraj wanted to buy. Joan Knight and Lloyd Esancy were engaged in hunting for wafers in a pan of flour and water. Richard Norwood gave his opinion of the Freshmen by kneeling to the prettiest, bowing to the wittiest, and kissing the one he loved best. Robert Newbert ended up in a tub of water when he put his weight on a baseball and tried to run around it. Winona Miller and Adelman Norton engaged in a spagetti race. Royce Butler told why he didn't like the Sophomores. Frank Austin chose the girl he would like to date and told why. Katherine Carver and Alden Taylor prepared for a date. This included Kay shaving. Lloyd Esancy gave imitations of different animals. Keith Burns and Alice Luce were wed in solemn matrimony and then driven away in his cart. Richard Norwood and Gordon Mills had a race with their feet tied together. The evening ended with the Freshmen singing Let Me Call You Sweetheart . 17

The Literary Department THE SPEEDSTER jimmy 'fluniorn Peterson walked slowly and sadly up the walk to his mother's boarding house. It was a sad day for junior. He had just got another ticket for speeding. At the supper table that night junior told his mother. One of the guests, jim Dawson, said You know, I used to just like you junior. I had a good car and took advantage of its speed. One night I was coming home from a dance. I was happy, had had a good time and was racing with a friend. The car went through the guard rail and into a tree. I woke up in the hospital. It was a sad day for O! me. What happened then? asked junior. I died, replied jim. Royce Butler Class of '53. YOUTH We all go to the movies, and give one particular movie star a great build-up. The object of my build-up was Bluster Flight. When I learned the movie, The Great Lover , was to be filmed in Finalhaven and he was in it, I simply had to see this luscious hunk of man. After considerable round-about hinting Iwas able to arrange a boat trip to Finalhaven where I could spend a day gazing at him. It was a beautiful mid-summer day, the main street was littered with wires, sound and camera trucks, and people. The sun was hot and Iwas bored with this procedure. I looked up and down the street carefully to make sure Ihadn't missed my dream man. Suddenly, across the street a barber shop door opened and out came the unmistakable one. My throat got dry and my toes tingled for he was but twenty feet away from me. I just couldn't take my eyes from him. Within a matter of minutes I began to realize he was a very ordinary appearing man. He had on rather untidy fishermen clothes with a blue knit cap. He was flat- footed, round-shouldered, loud-mouthed, swagger-ing, and thoroughly unattractive. About this time I realized that I knew dozens of more attractive boys and men and would from now on attach my interests to real live dolls. My illusions of youth were thus shattered.
