Pat Mills has her own busi
ness now after breaking away
from the company that has cm
ployed her for 20 years. She
has the only "Build Your Own
Bird-Baths" company in the
world.
Gayle Seymour flew in last
night from Washington D. C.
where she has ben having talks
with the President. Gayle, as
you have probably read in the
newspapers, is the head of the
Atomic Energy Commission
and is working on a top secret
Atomic powered convertible
space ship.
Larry Stowell is quite a fam
ous man in the fashion world,
being the editor of Vogue Mag
azine. His newest creation, a
dress that can be changed into
a pedal pusher outfit with the
push of a button, has rocked
the world and everyone is
clamoring for one.
Ray Stone, the celebrated
Metropolitan Opera star, is
leaving immediately- after the
reunion for a European tour. It
is also rumored that while
there, he will marry for the
seventh time. The lucky bride-to-be
is Queen Bridget of the
Kingdom of Alberting.
Phil Sword, the world's best
ballet master, arrived in Ash
land looking no different than
he did 25 years ago. Phil used
to be the world's best male bal
let artist until he had that dis
astrous accident where he stub
bed his toe getting into his low,
low slung sports car.
Phil has recently been in
New York and there he met
Kermit Thomas. "Kermit was
unable to attend the reunion,"
Phil said. "He has been in se
clusion ever since I left him.
He is working on the manufac
ture of a new super-stretch girdle."

which were very noticeable or
ganizations.
Then came a big event. Ah
haaaa, at last we were to be
members of the junior hign
school. (Actually, we were just
waiting for the day when we
could run the joint.) Do you re
member how we would toddle
around to different classes in
the mornings and then sit
sprawled 6ut between the same
four walls for the rest of the
day?
And, of course, there was Mr.
Morrill and his Math class (also
his home room) in the seventh
grade. Remember the mischiev
ous things we used to do to
him? Heh Heh, they weren't
much; just incidents like throw
ing erasers out of the window.
Then we tied strings around
the chalk and dangled it back
and forth in front of Mr. Fa
der's window. Poor Mr. Fader,
he probably thought he was
seeing monkeyville all over
again. It's a wonder the poor
man is still alive. Then there
was the eighth grade with Mr.
Smith and his faithful paddle,
or his extra large essays for
chewing gum. Naturally, you
all remember Miss Kennedy;
how could anyone forget her?
Her geography tests, no sharp
ening of pencils, no chewing of
gum, and no wearing of hats.
She was pretty strict, but she
was also respected.
After the ninth grade, we
packed our little selves up and
trundled over to the big mys
terious looking high school. We
wondered around for about a
week, getting into wrong
rooms, or coming in the front
door instead of the back. But
we finally caught onto the rou
tine and settled down to three
wonderful years of studying
and fun.

Ashland won the first base
ball contest with Klamath
Falls by a forfeit, April 19. The
second game of the twin bill
was won off Sword's home run
in the seventh inning, by a
score of 13-11.
Ashland had a comfortable
lead as the top of the seventh
opened in the second game.
Mark Fitch was on the mound
for the Grizzlies until Klamath
closed the gap and Parent re
lieved Fitch. Parent and Fitch
swapped places again when the
score stood at 9 to 7. Klamath
drove in 4 more runs before
the inning came to a close.

There was one class that I
am sure the seniors will never
forget and that is American
Problems. The debates, panels,
and occupational reports.. Also,

Then, of course, there was
the last pep assembly, the last
football and basketball game
for the year. The Junior Senior
Prom on May 18, Baccalaureate
on May 20, and graduation on
May 23. That was the last time
the Seniors were together as

was wonderful, wasn't it kids?
