start dropping closer. Sweat broke out on my face and back as they came closer and closer. They were beginning to drop all around me; I was scared and plenty. I knew I couldn't hold out much longer. Just as I thought about it, a three pounder dropped about a foot in front of me, so 1 waved a white flag. As soon as I waved the flag, the firing stopped. 1 stood up. I was escorted into a house. When I came to, I still had my rifle. You see, I had been hunting. On my way home, I had stepped in my wife’s flower garden and she has a good right arm plus a wicked temper! DAVE GONYER. '51 ----WRHS------ THE END Me: Hey, Joe, did I ever tell you of the time I went hunting mountain lions?” Joe: No!” Me: Well, one day when I wasn’t doing much, I thought I’d go get me a mountain lion. So I takes my old rifle, a few shells and my old houn’, and lit out for the woods of the sheep country in the moun- tains. About an hour after we got there, the old houn’ started up a fuss and this I knowed was just what I was after. Knowing those big cats like I do, I followed the old houn’s yelps. Well, sir, after several high, steep grades, the old houn' treed the cat. Well, sir, I just closed in slowly because those babies are just about as dangerous as any women you ever saw. Well, when I found where the cat was, I let go with a few shells which only one did any good. So I fooled around with another shot and missed again, leaving me with just one shot. I took careful aim and pulled the trigger. Down came the big cat still quite alive, and straight for me! Now he had me between him and a ledge of a couple hundred feet drop. I didn’t pay much attention to this because of the fellow in front of me, and over I went. Joe: ’’What happened?” Me: I was killed.” HERBERT CHAMBERLAIN, JR„ ’51 — Seventeen —

A DAY AT THE AUCTION Hi, Jim, are you going to the auction today?” Yea, Bob, I guess so, but there won't be anything but junk. Well, maybe Pat will have something good for a change.” I’ll see you there, Jim.” The auction has already started and Pat is selling dishes like mad. Hi, Bob, have you bought anything yet?” Oh, hi, Jim, no, all he has sold are dishes.’ All around women are either packing their dishes or gossiping. Other people are poking through the boxes of junk and the little boys are playing cowboys. And now here is just what you men want, a set of wrenches. They are new. You see the price tag marked two forty-nine. And now who will give me a dollar? I think I would ! I am going to bid on that, Jim. One dollar. He has more. Bob.” I’ll bid once more. One-fifty.” Sold to that boy right down there!” .... And here we have a box of everything. Who knows, maybe even money. Who will give me a quarter. I think I would .... Somebody say a nickel!” Just for fun, I am going to bid a nickel, Bob. Five cents!!” And sold to that boy.” ”1 wonder what I have here, Bob. Hey, look, I have two new baseballs in this junk. Wow!! Boy, Jim, did I get rooked! These wrenches aren’t new and one is broken. I’m leaving before I lose any more.” I’ll go with you, Boy. I guess I was lucky because Pat never gives anything like that if he knows it.” PAUL KAISER, ’52 ----WRHS------ BATTLE ROYAL I was w-alking along a fairly open space, not paying much atten- tion to where I was walking for my rifle was getting heavier all the time, when all of a sudden missiles started flying around me. I dove for cover!! I knew 1 was not safe and that I was pinned down. In a few minutes my position would be zeroed in, and the missiles would — Sixteen
