Alice VViley, with her boyish bob, Her charm, it seems no one can rob. VVilliam Gregory always gets through, Yet much better work he surely could do. Martha Nelson, to a friend, Wvill be faithful unto the end. Thus Ralph Sodini goes on his way Talking and laughing most of the day. Of the writer of this, we have little to say, She's only the Literary Editor anyway. Mary Ellen Thompson. SENIOR CLASS POEM I'm gripping your hands in mine, classmates, As, with tears in my eyes, I say good-bye. I'm wishing you best of luck, old friends, lVith a spirit that will never die. I'm thinking of you as you'd have me think, And of the things that bind us most. I'm recalling the school and its memories dear, And regret that it now is closed. I'm attempting in rhyme what I have to say, As a friend who heartily wishes you well. IVith joy and luck in the years ahead, I again bid you a fond farewell. Harold Von Qualen.

Esmeralda is owned by Vic, To ride in her will give you a kick. Every day after English IV, Theresa Waits right at the door. Mathematics came easy to James Norris, I Wish they did for some more of us. The latest in fashions has Virginia Geis, She always has everything so very nice. Herman Ohlendorf is the one VVho fills our Annual full of fun. Hazel Hansen, quiet and shy, In typing doesn't even have to try. Raymond Nelson aspires to be A dignified ofiicer of the sea. Virginia Haynes is a capable lass She'll do all tll2lt7S possible to help her class. Harold Von Qualen is pretty smart, Physics and chemistry were just a lark. Edna Landers has the ambition To acquire a nurse's position. Ruel Hoffman, with his chewing-gum Doesn't mean any harm, it's just for fun. Next comes Mable, yvith hair that curls, She's one of the steady Hiking Club girls. Then comes La Verne with his perpetual smile Itgs there always-not once in a While. An operatic star is Margaret Babe IVe'll see her picture on a front page. Charles Nelson is a dapper lad, IVho dresses nifty and is never sad.

Page22 THE RUDDER 1927 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Scene-Living room in a modern apartment. Time-June 8, 1937. Enter Gertrude Rhode, who puts a few iinishing touches to the arrangements of the room. The door bell rings and a large, distin- guished-looking lady appears. Gertrude-HOh, hello, Margaret, I am so glad to see you here early. Do sit down. I expect Izetta any time. Margaret Rabe- Well, I took my time coming. It was such a beautiful day I just couldn't resist the temptation to walk slowly. But I wonder where Izetta can be? QDoor bell rings and Gertrude opens the door. Izetta Grush entersj. Izetta-'4Hello, girls, I thought I would never get here. I had such a stack of dinner dishes to do, I thought I never would finish. Girls, take my advice and never take boarders. They are such a trouble. Why, isn't Virginia here? I understood you to say she was coming also. Gertrude- She is coming, but, you know, she lives way out on the north side and it will naturally take her a little longer. QDoor bell rings again and Gertrude opens the door. Enter Vir- ginia Haynesj. Virginia- Hello, everyone. I just thought I would be the last one here. I gave my chauffeur the afternoon off and decided to take the street car. I missed two of them and, as there wouldn't be another for about one-half hour, I decided to walk. Then I got down to the corner of Mazon Avenue and the tratlic was so heavy I thought I would never get across. Well, I am here and glad to see you all. Margaret- I walked all the way, too. I just thought the weather was beautiful. Virginia- Yes, it certainly is. But say, did you girls hear about the new apartment house they are putting up on our corner? It is going to be wonderful. Izetta-HI wish I could rent one of those two-room apartments and say good-bye to those boarders. I just think food, food, food, from morning until night. Gertrude-'WVouldn't it be fine? Girls, do you know I am all set for a game of bridge this afternoon. Let's get started. Virginia-CRisingj Oh, good! I would just love to. How about you, Izetta? I know our bridge shark here will be tickled. Margaret- It has been such a long time since I played. I guess the last time was Monday night, and here it is VVednesday. fAfter all get seated, Gertrude starts shuiiiing the cardsj. Gertrude- Say, I wish I could have one good hand this after- noon. Do you know when I looked at the calendar this morning what I thought of W' Virginia- That is hard to tell. I know if it were I, I'd think of my last dance.
