The President of this year's Board of Education is john A . Martin, and the Vice-President is Francis Sturnfoll. uperintendent This is Springtime! It is the time when buds appear on plants and become leaves, limbs, and fruit. As we view our accomplishments or fruits , I wonder if we find that they run true to type? Or will it be necessary to spend further time in pruning and selecting before we are able to produce perfect work? It is a good thing to take annual inventory in our bus- inesses , eliminate the unnecessary and faulty, and then plan for another year with the idea of eliminating our mis- takes . ' We hope our annual will reflect progress from year to year, we hope that when you see it you will say that this is the best ever . Sincerely your Superintendent Paul M.

I find my career as an airline hostess for Trans World Airlines exciting and interest- ing. I get to travel around quite a bit, and on my trips I see so many of our fellow classmates . While I was in Los Angeles, I met Margaret Ross, and to my surprise she is the girl in the regular size Old Gold dancing pack. Margaret told me that Buck White, formerly known as William White, is a girdle salesman and he sold his first one to Wayne Kennedy. Now Wayne is a Captain in the French Foreign Legion. As I boarded the plane to go to Paris I found the name, Lois Fudge on my passenger list. I went to see if it was the Lois I went to school with and it was . Lois told me she was a commerce teacher, and she was spending her vacation in Paris . She told me that Retha Gorley was a missionary, Tom Hubbard, an electrician, Annabel Markham, a speech teacher, and Noel Maxwell had become a muel skinner. On my way back from Paris Larry Lucas boarded the plane to go back to the Air Force base in San Francisco. Larry has decided to make 20 years in the Air Force his career. Larry told me that Ver- nice Lomax was an Air Force Nurse and that Lula Cutshall was now a secretary for one of the M.G.M. directors . The plane landed in San Francisco, and I went out to lunch. On my way to the restaurant I saw Reba Gorley. She said she was a nurse in New York and was in California for her vacation . Reba told me she went home to Weir to see her father and while she was in Weir she saw Mary Ann Mummert and that Mary Ann was now a house wife . As we were leaving Di- Maggio's restaurant, Reba said that Bill Van Houten was a bookie in New York and was doing fine . Well, Peggy, I'll close for now . Write when you have time. l 0 Love.

The Weir High Gridmen closed out their football season with a record of l-7-l . Although the Blue and Gold lost the majority of its games the few boys who were out made a fine showing against superior odds . Bill White, Larry Larson, and Bill Ohmsieder made all M.B.L. players this year. Bill Van Houten and Wayne Kennedy were elected Co-Captains at the start of the season. Fifteen out of the seventeen out for football letered . These lettermen include 6 seniors, 5 juniors, and 4 sophomores. iw t fy it lex .J Grade Basketball FIRST ROW: Charles O'Ma11ey, Joe Fowler, Tommy Martin, Jerry Simone, Ronnie Standley, Billy Curtis, Jim O'Ma11ey, Mike Galvin, Carl Prewett, Coach Henry Betts.

This year the Weir Wildcats had its most successful season since 1952 . The Blue and Gold won 13 out of 20 games and finished second to St. Patrick's of Parsons in the M.B.L. The highlight of the season was the Weir-St. Marys League game which saw the cats take a 60-59 decision. Four seniors will be lost from this year's squad. These include Bill White, Noel Maxwell, Wayne Kennedy, and Bill Van Houten. Besides these boys the following will receive letters in basketball: Bill Ohmsieder, Bob Martin, jack Hodgson, Larry Lar- son, Fred Martin, and jay Dee Shaw . f 'sl 5 Track quad ZR FIRST ROW: David Bennett, John Castagno, James Bennett, Bud O'neal, Jack Adams, Philip O'Ma11ey, Don Fisher, Jerry Scott, George Vanderpool, Larry Wallace, Tom Ross.

Because the annual goes to press before the 54-55 season gets under way, none ot the results can he printed at this writing. However some highlights of the 53-54 season can be given here. Weir finished second last year in the M.B.L. out of a field of six teams. First places were netted by Bill White in the Pole Vault, Dave Short in the Shot Put, and Don Matter in the 100 yd. dash and 220 yd. dash. 6 t,,,' wt gn mix 5-N' A: 'Jinx'-z '- 1 'if-'.v M '1 J .51 44 , X Q V ,... !,, , 3 am is 1 Jw f EW , .
