Fortunately, I was able to secure reservat1ons for the flxght, and soon we were zooming through the outer space under the skxllful guldance of our pxlot, B1ll Petefxsh, who just last year recewed a medal for completxng a quadnlhon m1les of flzght wxthout an acc1dent Sue Armstrong, a for er classmate, and the f1rst woman Jet pllot to break the sound barner, was also a passenger on the plane We had a pleasant chat about our classmates of V1rg1n1a I-hgh I stepped off the luxury lmer f1ve hours later and entered the brxghtly l1ghted and commodlous statlon, luxunous ly appolnted and complete wxth every convemence Thxnklng that a cup of coffee would set me up for the arduous task of talk1ng wzth the dzsgruntled employees of our company, I sat down at a table and whxle waltmg for my coffee, I pxcked up the latest edltxon of the Moon Weekly and learned that Mrs Dwlght Kmg Phyllls Noe and Mrs Erland Le1nberger Alxce Haywood , were Jornxng the1r husbands at the Planet Naval Base on the moon At that moment I heard my name called and looked up to see the former Rosella Anderson commg across the foyer of the stat1on Rosella, whose husband, Fred, 15 now owner of the Super Transplanet Air Lmes, had seen rn name 1n the reg1ster of lncomxng passengers and had hurrxed to look me up That even1ng I spent some pleasant hours w1th the famous cattleman, Ronnxe H1bbard, at h1s mterestmng ranch

Tom Damotte, who are garnmg a reputatxon as znventors, are res1dents of Venus and are plan nmg to put a new dev1ce on the market that wxll enable one to dlrect a plane from planet to planet by pushxng a button ln h1s offzce We called at thezr OiflC8 but they were not ln In the confusion of present day cond1t1ons It was gratzfyzng to f1nd that efforts were be1ng made to brmg about amicable

But when that day comes, being sixteen turns out to be the opposite of all that she dreamed. Susan has done too well in coaching Lucy Macon who has never had a boy friend or been to a dance. Under Susan's guidance, Lucy becomes much too popular and soon she has ac- quired Susan's boy friend. Susan's very modern mother and father have their troubles too. One grave mistake they make is in criticizing the manners, the dress, and the dancing of their children, who in turn show up their parents for what they were twenty years ago. As the cur- tain falls, everyone discovers that, after all, wishes do come true. for igdf 1-if X 4 ,Q cl 'Xe 5 V ?7 x.k, , C oz oween amfaiua :wen olfma lzfegja C? f EJ X-Q uf X SOPHOMORE QUEEN Uudy Terwilligerj SOPHOMORE KING fDona1d Martinj 'GSW ff FRESHMAN QUEEN QLinda McGeheeQ FRESHMAN KING fxvuke Doolingj f an .

Third was Hootche Kootche Henry from Hawaii, and At The End of a Long Lonely Day by James Carey. To bring the program to a close the group joined together in singing Aloha Oe. When everyone had gathered to the dance floor the room became enchanted as the rhythm of music, played by the Charles Rogers' Or- chestra, drifted out into the room and the dance floor became a swirl of beautiful colors as the girls, with their many colored and glittering formals, moved around the crowded room. The prom festivities came to a climax about 11:30 and as the couples slowly departed the prom became- -- A NIGHT TO REMEMBER The music fades, the stars grow dim The night too soon departs And though it dies, it leaves a mem'ry Glowing in our hearts.

Of four short years that hurried by And to them now we cling As rather wistfully we reach Our prom---our final fling. . VW fqiwvz f 4 asa.

After a few years it was stopped by the F. F. A. was reorganized in the middle 30's and has been thriving ever since. The local F. F. A.

The Pep Club is an organization to promote organized yelling. This is the first year we have had an organized Pep Club in our school and it has worked very successfully. The Pep Club has charge of the coat check for half of the home basketball games this year. They also have a dance after each Friday night home ball games. There are forty-one members in this organization led by the cheerleaders. The officers are: Judy Terwilliger, Presidentg Marcia McGehee, Vice-Presidentp Jeanne Fehlhaber, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Bohbrink was the Pep Club's advisor. Hot Lunch Program Our school is one of the few fortu- nate ones to have a hot lunch program. The cooks are: Mrs. Raymond Griffen, head cook, and her assist- ants, Mrs. Dorothy Huston, Mrs. Pearl Milstead, and Mrs. Thelma Briggs. Every school day these people work hard in order to have our hot lunch prepared by the noon hour. Ap- proximately 400 students from the first grade through the Senior Class eat in the lunchroom each day. On Wednesday, November 2.4, 1954, a total oi 425 students gathered in the lunchroom for the Thanksgiving din- ner. This meal was also enjoyed by our school board members. The minirnum amount spent for food per month, to date, is Sl, 891. 30 in October, 1954. The largest sum was SZ, 280. O8 for November, 1954. ln return for the meals, each student eating, gives 2.5 cents per day or 51.25 per week, depending on the number of days in that particular week. These cooks are striving to main- tain the quality and quantity of the meals in the face of continuously rising food and labor prices at a minimum cost to the student. We marvel at the- ability of these people who are responsible for serving so much, so nicely, and for so little. UE et J .
