As we glide over the Birmingham skyline, a roof-top dining room comes into view. Why there's George Harvey running the swanky restaurant, George's Place on the old familiar site of Charlie's Place. Nearby is the Hames-Black Super Market where Claude and Jack run one of a chain of coast-to-coast stores bearing their names. Across the street we see the ultra- m o d e r n Rosebroughmobile Atomic Auto Company, owned by that world- famous auto machanic expert, Charles Rosebrough. Passing over the almost-completed West End High auditorium, we see several former classmates watching the building processes. There's Carolyn Tinklepaugh, the new speech teacher, telling her plans for future assembly programs to Principal Earl Ehren- sperger, P.H.D., L.L.D., D.D.T., and C.O.D. On another corner of the cam- pus we discover Boys' Advisor Jerry Culwell and Head Coach Ponnie Kiker talking over the grades of Jerry Buckley, Jr., and little Claude Saia, outstanding members of the 1970 championship football team. In the science department we find James Styring and Bobby Dobyne, chemistry and physics teachers, pondering the problem of Einstein's newest theory of relativity. Hurriedly leaving this industrious scene, we continue on our journey and soon approach the fair grounds. There we witness a stock rocket race between Donn Schneider, Leo Nicholson, Bill Capallen, and Marilyn Beason. This race will determine who is the world champion stock rocket racer. Mean- while a gay carnival crowd laughingly pushes its way toward the entrance of the famous Badger and Bishop Circus to attend its grand opening. Leaving this cheerful atmosphere, We fly onward until we reach the city auditorium. A homecoming festival is in progress. Throngs of people join the building to get a glimpse of the famous personages to appear on the program. First, the great composer- pianist, Don Bailey, renders his inter- pretation of the old-fashioned music of the gay fifties. Next on the program are Lennea Milton and Harriett Bil- lings, talented violinists. Following them come the popular singing stars, Maxine Messer and Rudolph Mills. Continuing with the show, we hear that tinkling quartet, the Southern Belles, composed of Bobbie Nell Moss. Virginia Parsons, Anne Powell, and Evelyn Keener. As we depart, we spy Janet Powers in the audience with her class of tiny piano protegis. Soon we arrive at the new medical center where a consultation of doctors is being held. Among the physicians, we notice Dr. Carl Rosebrough and the noted psychiatrist, Dr. Ray Hen- Quotation: Haste makes waste. 4 U O Name: Robert Neal Wyatt Nickname: Happy, Trouble, Comrade Ambition: To be the ambassador to U. S. S. R. Activities: Speech Club: International Relations Club: Vice President Inter- Hi Club: President's Council: Junior News Contest: Senior News Contest: U. N. Trip: Honor Society.

Quotation: Words live on after .the sound bf them has died awaypn the astonishing air, and no miracles-of forgiveness can ever unsay them. I . A . I Years derson. Passing the operating room we behold a tense scene. Dr. Eleanor Brightwell takes a scalpel from Nurse Billie Lowery, while Nurses Joyce Howell and Inez Pittman stand ready to give assitance. Tip-toeing back to our hot rocket, we soberly take off. As it grows dark, we near the Springfield Fly-In Theater, owned and operated by Reuel Springfield. Star- ring in his new western movie, The Bucking Bomb, is Tex Watkins. His beautiful leading lady, Shirley Mea- dows, is being threatened by that versatile actor, villian Newton King. In due time the newsreel comes on, and we see the distinguished states- man, Robert Wyatt, leaving for a meeting of the U. N. In the sports news we view the world series with Sam Thomas pitching his team to victory. So much for the picture. Wasn't that a familiar face we saw watching the show. Upon closer observation, we recognize the former Joyce Spring- field with her family. Nearby are Jimmy and Joyce Hocutt fthe former Joyce Hutsonl with their children. In the back, we notice two wealthy society women, who have come after a busy day of bridge, to see their old classmates. More study reveals that they are Jeanette Smith and Jean York. We leave the Fly-In Theater and sore up into the sky turning the nose of our rocket to parts unknown. For
