CLASS MOTTO “We live today that tomorrow may be better.” CLASS FLOWER White Carnation CLASS COLORS Blue and White CLASS POEM US SENIORS Iff Say would you like to hear All about our Senior Class? Some are jerks, whom a teacher irks, And most all as green as grass. We came four years ago; To graduate was our aim. A long road, too heavy the load, So please, we are not to blame. To tell you what they’re like, Maybe I should take each one; Smiles and frowns, their ups and downs. A few dull and others fun. Joyce Reid, our Senior Queen Voted the best of them all; “Snowball’ Clark, who likes to spark, And our twirler, Eugene Hall.

Oh yes—little curly Juanita Mayden. She married and has a daughter who is an understudy of Shirley Temple. She tired of her husband after the first few months so started giving him arsenic with his oatmeal. He finally kicked the bucket. I have reported them all so am ready to board a plane back home. The motors of the plane are purring so I must go. Pop!!!! I came to and found Skinny Ennis on my lap purring and sharpening her claws. And so was the end of a wonderful dream. -Deanne Smith.
