The twenty five members of the forty niners Are truly a class of students united; If the teachers punish one of these minors They must deal with the group, until everything’s righted. The youngest member of the Senior Class Is full of jokes, and tricks, and fun; Now, Danny is learning to step on the gas; As a mimic he’ll win a place in the sun. A tall handsome lad whom we all adore Arranges stage settings and carves wood by hand; Harry Lee’s charm attracts girls by the score And his jeep’s always ready at their command. We have in our midst a slender youth Who has helped with the yearbook, school paper, and plays; He can sing, he can play; is a student in truth. As a surgeon our Victor will serve future days. Car] has attended so many schools He can scarcely decide what he wants to do; He has already proved he can farm by the rules And shows skill as an orator and editor, too. Helen is always a perfect dear, As reporter at games she tends strictly to duty; Her voice is so sweet and her smile so sincere, No wonder she was crowned Our Queen of Beauty. Evelyn Lease is a tall slender student Who does her school tasks with a friendly smile; She enjoys a good joke and shows that are prudent, With her kindness she lightens many a mile. Darell is lively, friendly and clever, The athletes all know his true worth, He’s a bundle of joy who is joking forever And he’ll spread his good cheer to the ends of the earth. Though Nina is always the first on the roll And Tina comes next according to Hoyle, We never will know which is which for their goal Is a healthy enjoyment of our seeming turmoil. The other Kimble whom we know as Irene Holds a very choice place in our hearts For she’s always ready and on the scene When we need her to play in elderly parts. A Home Ec. student is Phyllis Sampson Who helps with whatever work is at hand; She will always work hard ‘till the day is done And her service will constantly be in demand. Alan is planning a college career, His manner is friendly and often times gay; As a minister his mission will be sincere For he always insists on fair play. We often wonder if time affords If Tommy could perfect his comedy roles; But his aim is, we learn, to serve medical words Where he’ll bring relief to suffering souls. Our graceful young cheerleader known as Jean Excels in plays and clubs and classes; Her business skill can be plainly seen For she exceeds all other lads and lasses. = OOS SESSSS - SESESEOESSE CDDPO SPO PEPOP 2 SSOP OD SPOS PSOSSCE FD OS SOS SOO PS SSS PSS SFSD

One of our boys from the farm is Ray Elder Who helps anyone who needs aid, he declares; Some day he may hire you as electric welder As he plans to build a shop for repairs. Dottie Twigg is our winsome young blonde Whose voice is sweet and tender and low; Her friendly manner and smile so fond Are a part of the magic her charms bestow. Dalvin is handsome and slender and tall, He can picture and carve out a thing of beauty; Though you never can prove that he’ll come when you call, He assures you he wouldn’t neglect his duty. Erma works hard at a task assigned, The strength of her will power is great; She often forgets what she had in mind When her choice student friend arrives late. Charles came to us from a neighboring state, He’s full of strange questions and curious notions; Sometimes he works hard and complains at his fate, It’s a “Cinch” he has captured one girl’s devotions. John Smith is a student who rates in his classes, He is busy with church work and 4-H and school; No one is ever surprised when he passes For he struggles to follow every rule. Twins are quite rare in Fort Ashby High, In fact we have never experienced a pair Who are so much alike, either one can reply To the other’s name, all the teachers declare. A quiet young lad is Buddy Dyer When he reads or is sleeping soundly at night; But the boys all know that his one desire Is to be in the midst of a winning fight. Doris Householder has a charm all her own, Her zeal for athletics is truly enthralling; She can work with a group or study alone And her quick wit will aid her, whatever her calling. The dark-eyed young lady we know as Dolores Has a pleasant smile that’s always charming; No manner what happens she’s rooting for us In a lively manner that is almost alarming. A willing helper is Dorothy Rinker Who never complains when there’s work to do; That’s why her teachers and classmates think her A trustworthy girl whose ideals ring true.
