My eyes are bluegmy hair is dark brown with a few waves. I am six feet tall and weigh around one hundred and fifty pounds. Schools attended. Sadler School, three yearsgWentworth SchooI, eIght years. Activities. F.F.A. member,l954-585 Y.T.H.F.member,l954- 19583 Baseball,l934-58gBasketball 1955-58. Favorite amusements. Basketball comes in handy in the winter time. As for summer,I prefer baseball,and I also like swimming. I enjoy boxing occasionally,and if there is plenty of game I like to hunt, However there is nothing I like bet- ter than to go gigging for bull frogs. By throwing a light in their eyes,you can blind them. Then you must walk up upon them very slowly and stick the gig in themr backs. There is not much fun to be had using a rifle unless you are an unusual ly good shot. ly Favorite Favorite stud . It is hard to choose between Agricul- ture and Ancient History. I like the stories of the past onsf learns in history and the experience one gets in Agriculture. Something Lido fairly well. Early in the fall I like to go out inthe woods and ahoot squirells. If luck is with meg I can kill some. Most interesting experience. I think it was the first time I went gigging. A snake started toward me,and I turned and ran down the creek. I stumbled over a rock and fell in- to a hole of water. As I could not swim,I came very near to drowning. Plans after leaving high school. up to this date,I have not made any plans.

Sitting in a quiet room with a large fire in an open fireplace,a soft light and an interesting book,and with my feet higher than my head,is the most interest ing amusement that I can think of. Favorite study. General science. I have had only one year in this subject but I liked it best because it solved many difficult problems that I had been thinking about. Something I do fairly well. Idance fairly well. Of course it will be many years before I become an Eleanor Powell or Ruby Keeler. Most interesting experience. To many people this may not seem interesting but terrifying. The first airplane ride I ever had was in an old plane that limped around on a crutch. After I had climbed in the plane and started down the field, the plane gave out of gas and had to be pushed back and re- fueled. When we were ready to start off again,the motor was flooded and wouldn't start. W hen we were finally able to take off,I wasn't so sure that we were going to make a safe landinggbut we did. P.S. I stopped counting the times I had to swallow my heart back after the thirty-third time. Plans after leaving school. I plan to attend a business college in Roanoke or Danville,Virginia.
