Bev Fairman is a very friendly lass, She doesn't need to worry if she's going to pass. Gwen Fleming was our cheer leader, It would take the very best to beat her. Gerald drives a bright red and white car, In getting good grades he is a star. Fred's little verses don't go to his head, But to school lessons, he prefers a bed. In Faith you'll find a friend always, If you need her, she always stays. Caroline and Donna, fast friends are they, They're always together in work and in play. Laugh and the world laughs with you, This is a saying Duane's has found to be true. Jean Main is so little and sweet, To have her as your friend is quite a treat. Bob likes to eat best of all, He even does it in study hall. Larry makes sure he studies his history. But where he gets a book is a mystery. Duane is one of the farmers of our class, He's not very often seen with a lass. Dick is a friendly sort of guy, When you get to know him he's not so shy. Marty can draw and write poetry, too, She is a girl who never seems blue. Bruce Peterson is quite a swell guy, Around the girls he's rather shy. In agriculture Arthur does shine, In band he also does quite fine. Some call her Peggy, some Margaret, Her forensics experience she'll never forget. Carl's interests seem to lie far away, He thinks school lessons just don't pay. Some people never have a dull moment so they say, In our class Shirley Ruef's that way. Jake Schlittler has a very big heart, He's always willing to do his part. Many a good time Bill has seen, Maybe it's study that makes him grow lean. Diane isn't so very shy, She's happiest when she's with a guy. Jerry loves to drive his car, He prefers it to study by far. - Peggy Staffeld came to us last year, Her presence has brought us more fun and good cheer

CLASS POEM Graduation is here and commencement time comes round once more, So the class of 54- Sincerely greets you today, Just before we start to go life's way. Now I would like to have you meet, The members of our class, who are hard to beat. Phyllis is a girl who seems so quiet, But when she gets started there's really a riot. To some school seems very dull, But when Alvin's around there's never a lull. Gerry's enthusiastic and full of fun, To keep up with her you'll have to run. Jerry played in all the sports, He's hardly ever out of sorts. Donna's a girl who sure likes candy, If you need some help, she's always handy. X

In writing essays Trudy does excel, Through the rest of her life we wish her well. If all school lessons were about a sports car, Edward Swartz would be a star. Marian and Lorraine are very good friends, Theirs is a friendship that never ends. Myrna may be a short and little lass, But she's one of the nicest in our class. Shirley's a girl you ought to know, With dates and studies she's always on the go. In music Betty has found her joy, She really prefers it to any boy. Activities and lots of fun, Certainly keep Lorraine on the fun. Now we leave these halls of learning, Never more to be returning, We've learned our lessons and made many a friend, But our high school days now have their end. The time has come when we must part from you, So to friends, classmates, and teachers we bid adieu, Your help and your friendship we'll never forget, The years spent with you we'll never regret. -Caroline Jones. CLASS SONG CTune: Let The Rest Of The World Go By. J As we leave school today, To all we say It is time for our good-bye. All the good times we had Now make us feel sad, As we leave Brodhead High. Is the future to hold What we have been told About tasks and trials we'll meet? Now we proudly confess We will meet with success Because of Brodhead High. Chorus: Our school days are through We now say good bye 3- Our memories will stay behind With Brodhead High. Our Junior Prom was gay and bright, In Paris we danced that night. In forensics and sports our class won its fame. With music we enhanced our name- For in the future ahead, new paths we will tread With the hope gained from Brodhead High. -Gweneth Fleming. f
