Youngens, get quiet. If you so much as breath again, I'll whack you with this window-shade roller. Don't get alarmed, that is that calm old maid schoolteacher, Mary Heartsill. No, Mary never married, but by all means she hasn't given up. She is after the baker oi the town and hopes he will swallow hook, line, and sinker. Then, she says, she will have something besides a cat to live with. As you know, one of the girls in the class was told several times that she should be a model. This girl, Essie Ruth Kennedy, attempted it. They told her she had the smile that ruined lpana, and couldn't model anything but toenail polish--if that. So, she gave it up, not only as a bad job but also as a hopeless one. She settled down with a wealthy man who hasn't been quite so wealthy since. Although Essie Ruth says she is living a wonderful life and having a swell time. Peanuts, peanuts, popcorn, candy! Right this way folks. Thanks, kiddo, Boy! I guess I cheated him. Look people, there is Dorotha Jo Boyd. Let's go over and talk to her. Hello, Miss Boyd. How has life been treating you? Oh, I have a fair living. I work here at this stand awhile, and then I work in an elevator. You see, I tried to be an airplane hostess, but they told me I would only over- load the plane. So the elevator was the closest thing to the airplane I knew. I must work now, good-bye. We will now interview the most active girl in the class, Bette Davis. Bette seemed to fall for skating the first time she was on a pair of skates. She has a racket now of her own called Learn to Skate while you Scoot . She won a medal by being the most un- graceful skater. She has had a few down falls in her life, but not once unrepairable. As she and her husband, also a skater, had a collision, they really fell for one another. Last of the class, but not least by all means, is Doris Marie Peterman. Doris Marie was always the tom-boy type, one who liked to tear and cut up things. She is still in the business of cutting up things, as she is a doctor. A mighty swell job she is doing, too. It was only the other day that she went to take off a person's toe. The knife slipped, and whack, off went the foot. Only a few little accidents like that have happened to her though, and some day she may become one of our outstanding doctors. Just a little hint-- there are still other doctorsg go to them. That is the last of your class of 1948-1949, so I'll go get back on my perch. I sin- cerely hope you seniors keep improving like you have been. So long and good luck. 26
