SENIOR CLASS SONG Here we are just about to leave, Hoping all are happy, none of you will grieve, Four sleepy people with so much to say And sorry we have to break away. Do you remember the times we used to linger in the hall? Mr. Parker didn’t like it al all. Do you remember the fights ve used to have in study hall? When the teachers were away, all we did was play; So here we are telling all good-bye. To our friends and classmates and our sweetie pies, Four brilliant people, with so much to say, Now draw to a close; we’re on our way. SENIOR CLASS POEM We are small in number, but great in mind. A class like ours is hard to find. We are on our way to work and play And make you proud of us someday. Johnny wants to be a lawyer. Or another Tommy S-wyer. Leona, with her long dark curls, Is striving to beautify other girls. Dorothy, with her sophistication, Is working for an education. Clara Mae, who will study Vitamin D, Wants to cure you and me. We bid farewell to all of you And to our colors, White and Blue. With faces sad and hearts so true We, the Thirty-Niners, say Adieu.

The members of that class were as follows: Bill Hearing, John Henry Nye, Leona Wolverton, Clara Mae Cunha, Lorraine Huxoll, Awilda Bleakney, Marie Olson, Dorothy Davis, Dorothy Jane Reese, and later in the year Vashti Hoskins and John Corriea were added to the class. Dorothy Jane Reese (who left for Florence, Oregon), Dorothy Davis, and Lorraine Huxoll were with us for only one year. The following people left during the second year: Bill Hearing (who moved to Pendleton), Awilda Bleakney (who went to Boardman), and Vashti Hoskins (who transferred to Portland). That left only four pupils for the third, but there were two additions at the beginning of the fourth year. Dorothy Jane Reese returned to Echo from Portland, and Marie Olson returned from Mount Angel. Marie soon departed for Pendleton leaving only four brilliant members to graduate. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Yea verily, it is the year 1959. I am now visiting the famous city, Hollywood. I didn't want to miss any of Hollywood's hot spots ; so I thought that I would visit the new Flat Foot Floojie Palace, which looked lively. The place was jammed with people wildly dancing to the music of the latest song, The Model-T Blues . Suddenly the hilarious master of ceremonies appeared to announce the next number. He looked very familiar, and when I heard his inimitable laugh I knew that I could not be mistaken. It was John Corriea! Well, I just v ent up there while he was in the middle of his wise-cracking and made my presence known. He didn't recognize me at first, but when he finally did he was almost over-come. We then sat down and talked about old times in Echo High School until John nearly collapsed from laughing. He then told me that he had certainly come up in the world by starting out with a hamburger stand. He al60 invited me to drop over to the house sometime to meet the Mrs. and the kids . I then ask-
