w te' vl- CLASS POEMS These are the class poems for 1953: We can't change our model like the new Mercury. So just sit tight and wait for the class prophesy. Poets l..eafdale and Rodeo have been racking their brains. We had a collision like north and south bound trains. ln writing these poems we had quite a time. We could not seem to make the words and names rhyme. l.ife of the party was Clark Mortimore. You hold your breath for what he has in store. As our senior class President things really went rolling, And it was dear old Corky that kept the class roaring. A dealer, a wheeler, a twirler and all. Many hard-hearted men on their faces did fall. No, it's not Jane Russell, so guess again, 'Cause this is where Ellen Skoric comes in. The class musician, Harry James himself. Clyde and his sax made a name for themselves. As a tale teller he's quite a top hand. He'll take Harry's place with the Clyde Slane Band. She stays at the Snowhite with the Seven Dwarfs. There must be more fish in the frceans as she casts off her wharfs. Shirley Cartwright for sure knows the latest jokes. But her heart lies in Oregon at the home of her folks. He's known the world over as Bones Brown, tall and lean. .lust one of Coach's basketball pheens. Take it from the girls, he's THE latest thing. A wolf in sheep's clothing, if you get what l mean. A cute little trick was Barbara Kae Harris. Her Mom owned a dress shop, she wore the latest from Paris Now she's easy-going and it's easy to see The Valley Coal Mine's where she likes to be. Blushing as usual, a jolly good sort. Bobbie Snyder's the kind you call a good sport. There's no doubt about it he's the blushing kid. While eating my cooking he sure flips his lid. Most likely to succeed, she isn't so slow. For Do or Die is Bett's motto. So keep out of her way: she ain't bound to stop. That 0'Connell gal's heading straight for the top. Glenn Bakker is a creamery man. He comes to school just to give ua the scan. He looks at us, what are we doing there? As far as schooling. his cupboard is bare. Gary Grant. the school mechanic- Until this year he wasn't romantic. He'll do anything to take a chance. We can tell what he's after, it must be romance. Basketball king of THS, J. B. Rodens the Baain's best. .lust plant him. kids, and dig him later. To all around here he's No. l rater. Earl Welty never utters a word. You must think him a strange bird. Not as you think that he is so. For no one but him just really know. ln Lincoln. Nebraska, she's going to school: Majoring in music is her golden rule. Alpha Stotts has the spirit, she'll hit the right notes. For just being herself she gets all my votes. Dale Wright is a rodeo hand. He thinks riding rough ones is plenty grand. l think l'll just watch from the good old grandstand. And rush out with a pillow wherever he lands. He's known the world over for his Cookie Duster. With the women he's quite s heart-buster. ln the world he's taking his place. Bill Holder will win the Hot Rod Race. Pep squad leader, and quite a cute chick. .loyce Leafdsle for sure is no country hick. Though she's just a poet at heart. ln this'man's world, she has a good start. William Atlas is his nickname. All the girls can't figure his game. His muscles bulge at every bend. Deromedi sticks to his toni right to the end. George Bloomquist. a cowboy at heart. Rides rugged ponies till they fall apart. As a cattle baron he surely can't miss. He loves this joh that fills him with bliss. Savanna Shumway may have little to say. But the smile on her face is there to stay. And ln Meltonis class when we had compositions. l've often wished l had her disposition. Have a coke' is his favorite theme, And when you have one he starts to beam. .lohn Boyd is his name, you surely must know him. lt's a long'ways to Shell but he'll go on a whim. Gene Anderson. or Stinkey as he is called, His hair is curlcy and he's far from bald. He works in a station after school. He's a great elk hunter and not a fool. Mack Bryson from Owl Creek hails. Like Abe Lincoln, he can split rails. During the summer he's stacking bales. And in the morning. he's jugglin' milk psils. She became the nursemaid to a record shop tumtable. And though she's now a jockey, disc gals plenty stable. Shirley Scholz you may say seems shy though she's winning. .lust get her to talking she'll leave your head spinning. Frederick Burris is an intellectual cuss. His hair and clothes are never a muss. You'll find him in church every Sunday. And back to school again every Monday. Letah Prickett must surely he filled with spunk. 'Cause there ain't many things she ain't already thunk. And lfftlt your thinkin' she strikes you as cold: Well think else ways 'cause her heart's filled with gold. Larry Carroll ls everybody's friend. A friendship o one can unmend. With his flashy convertible he gives the girls a whirl. When he looks into their eyes. how their minds swirl. Cooking and sewing, ,lean's now a housewife, And Duard's dodgin saucers to save his dear life. We know that their home will be happy no less, And we extend congratulations to their Loves and success. Bill Kris the school brown nose. The whirlpool kid after basketball blows. Annapolis bound l really do think. And when he gets out he'll sail through the drink. A nice featured gal with plenty of dare. Her Mother's Mercury and parties to spare. A one track mind that circles round J ack. Karen lsbmael for sure plays a lead in the act. Bob Dockery he keeps to himself. And puffs on his Bulldurham. When with the girls, He begins to squirm. Her main ambition is planning to teach. ln college she'll major in dramstics and speech. Nancy Bain likes to ride and that ain't no hay. Till the horse saddled her and rode her away. Sam Kelly has quite an ambition. lt isn't history or a mathematician. His hohby'is baseball. he's a Yankee fan. Center field's his position, he wants to be a Yankee man. Thoughts as deep as a twenty foot well. ln lots of things Ronald Moroe rings the bell. Like the man in the moon he says not a thing. He's as true as the gold in a diamond ring. Ruthie was an artist no doubt. Her cartoons and such were the best throughout. Her work is original and sure hits the spot. That Alexander stuff just won't go to pot. Ralph, Franklin he is by alphabet. He's as good a fellow as l've met. He met a irl and won her heart. Soon theyql be not two, but only one part. The voice with the smile. that's Esther Davis. We'll remember her for the wrong numbers she gave us. Though she's quick on the draw, she's asleep on the job. An adding machine couldn't count her hearthmbs. Hot Lips he is called, an all around lover. When with Dorothy he goes hog wild. Bob Milek the typhoon could be very mild He's certainly not babied by mother. Remember the times that wc all used to tease her At junior Play practice when ,lim Brown had to squeeze her ln Business Vocations she sure made a fuss, For what Shirley Schroeder put in the paper it came hack on ua. Frank Eckard and Neil Freudenthal, The Gnldust Twins, They know where trouble starts And fun begins. Ambitious as all get out l'm sure you will agree. Her success as a cowgirl is no mystery. She'll break the ice through thick or thin, For a drive like Dot Buchanan's is sure to win. Grandpa Coleman is one good pal, His favorite girl is Buffalo Sal. A football player. the garne of his rejoice, Marion Coleman is the ladies choice. She may keep ya fooled with those sober brown eyes, But she'l1 surely amaze you with her apt replies. For it's Lori Ann Hayes that's right up to date. Beware fellowmen her hooks filled with hate. He'd give the shin right off his back To warm a freezing friend. Knudsens the guy that holds the .I ack While you fix the tire that went. This boy could dance on a barb wire fence: Of course it's no one but Pete Spence.

These boys aren't so bad and they really aren't hoods: When you come right down to it they've got the goods. Bill Slane has been smart all through school. Of his red hair most girls would drool.
