. . CBITUARIES . . Services were held Friday night, June tenth, in the audi- torium of the West Point High School for those, who, ending a chapter in their life, were ready to be sent on their way to a bigger world. This was a sad scene for the close friends and relatives who had watched them through their school life. i il i OTIS BRISTOW met his sad fate when he was forced from his motor scooter. He leaves us to explore a different kind of life at V. P. I. Ill 1 ll' We regret to inform the stu- dents that there may never be two better athletes than BEERY, who has a good eye for the bas- ket, and PUTSY, our star football player. They leave to see the world with the U. S. Air Force. i Ill U BILL ROBERTSON was taken suddenly with a fatal case of run down battery in physics class, and leaves to inspect more thoroughly the Ford parts. F l K MARGARET ASHLEY leaves and is survived by Kathryn Putnam and a much over-worked piano. U i U For those who were looking forward to a year of biscuits and congo bars, it was a sad day when MARGARET SKUERS and VIRGINIA WROBLICK w a s h e d dishes for the last time in the Home Economics kitchen. ll l i CLAY Woonn-:, one of the many seniors caught in the tragedy of Macbeth, rendered a loud sigh of relief when he arrived at the Hfth act. He will spend a quiet life in the hardware business. lk 1 ll AGNES WAJCIECHOWSKIJS fatal steps were taken when she taught Mr. Haynes to po1ka. l She leaves to the school the new tradition of dancing the polka during lunch hour. R 1 ll JOYCE HIGHLAND and ANNE HUMPI-IREYS left their mark of fame in the commercial depart- ment. The fact that they proved that one may type with both accuracy and speed gives a goal for which the future typing students may strive. Q ll' i JAMES TRIMMER left his epi- taph taken from a poem by Stockson, which we will quote: After the battle sleep is best, After noise, tranquillity. We know that he will find all of this on a farm he has planned to own some day. 8 i U WILLIAM HALL was caught in the catastrophe of the Atomic Age and from this time on will be hopelessly lost in the world of scientists and their new de- vices for splitting atoms. C lk l PEGGY EVANS'S last remark before she left was that she would sell, lend, lease or rent her chemistry notebook of unbal- anced equations to anyone not planning to take up science as a career. ll O 1 FRANKLIN ROBERTS heaved out a fervent last wish that Mrs. Cluverius would in the future require algebra students to solve for P rather than X, as had been his custom. 8 i 1 TOMMY HOOPER, unlike his brother, Billy, who is a para- trooper, was allergic to high places. In the future he will sail the seas with the U. S. Navy. BARBARA DYsoN leaves us to try her wings in a new area of speech and drama. She is sur- vived by Jacqueline Johnson to uphold the reputation of the high school's drama department. i 8 4 BILLY JONES left us in a last spurt of energy when he stepped on the gas and caused his car to fly forward into space. ll' H U BEEE Guzxx left us soon after an attempt to make the rest of the altos be heard in harmony with the sopranos. She is sur- vived by Doris Anderson to keep the altos going strong. ll' Q U Everyone was saddened by the fact that CYRIL PETKE was the last of his kin to leave us. Everyone was aware that he had been a helpful friend in many respects. We know that he will be happy leading a new life as an accountant. ll K O JAMES COLEMAN was last seen in a playful wrestling match with William Walton during home room period. We sincerely hope that James will not so treat all of his customers when he becomes a salesman. U l U CoNsTANcE WOLFE, another good commercial student, will be missed greatly by her fellow students. Just before she had to leave us, her plan was to con- tinue the study of her commer- cial work. 1 l H CHARLES MILLER left quietly, while still clinging to his guitar. What distressed us was the fact that he might not have much time to practice on his guitar if he should decide to go into busi- ness for himself. Page 38
