Star City High School - Rocket Yearbook (Star City, AR)

Text from Pages 1 - 140 of the 1945 volume:

WE SINCERELY DEDICATE THE 1944-45 ROCKET TO OUR BOYS IN THE SERVICEa Out upon e foreign land In marshes, Jungles, or desert sands Are graves that signify to me The love to live a life that e free In many a battle riddled place The ground1s blood drenched, but not disgraced. The crosses rear their heads and cry They Loved to live, but had to die.1 There1s many a Flanders Field today Where youth no more do war games play Rest from the horrible si ghts they witnessed Immortal now, They're Ood‘s Own guest. They fought and died for the right to be Free in air, on land and sea, To protect this land, A heritage to them, To forgive and forget, 3ut not condemn. And so to the boys who so willingly gave All they possessed to the land of their birth. We salute the crosses that watch o‘re their graves As they slumber eternally In a Cold Foreign Earth. Written by a young girl Just before her marriage to a Lieutenant in the U. 3.

Seems as though Margie Sue Campbell is making several tripe to Glendale. Wonder if it's Glendale or who48 there? ? ? 8eems that Lena Carolyn Joyce Is having lots of trouble with tr heart. She can't deoide between Glendale and Grady. Charles Ray Nobles thinks the girls of his class are too young. He picks a 10th grader. We don't believe that Billy Grooe can make up hie mind on any of the 9th grade girls, although we believe he has his eye on a certain one. Margie Nobles better watch her step with Roga Sllberstein when hia Louisiana girl-friend hears about it. We have been noticing Don James making yes at Hazel Joung. Zellle Ann MoBley and James H. Steed are pretty thick- these days. Francis Martin is 0. K. by Leonard Drake, Leonard goes for these red-headed Martins. Nellie Mae Hill and J. S. Calhoun, Jr. attended the Home Sconooio formal in full swing. Betty Sue Owens can't deoide on any oertain boy. She Just make8 eyes at all of them. Imogens Shelby makes good grades and ie very nice in class when she faces the teachers, but when the teachers turn their backs? (h I Oh I I wonder which Crow girl Jenni-ge Vick really dates? I think it48 Billie but Pat is always along. If anyone wants to know about Veon Glover, Charles Whitehead, and James H. Steed’s behavior in class, ©8k Mrs. Hobgood. Wonder why Betty Jane Owens and Harvey Weatherford sit so close on the bua every day? ? ? The Jr. High Girls will be glad to get ift Sr. High——Why? ? Mr. Allen Tarver treats them right when he substitutes. Mary Faith Robinson eeems to be occupying a certain Sr. boy's time now. Seems to the Freshman glrle that Wanda Grumbles doesn't rate in that class. She has a steady from the eighth grade—Bobby Morrleon—we mean you. : � Jw.rr 0000000000000f000000000000000000000000000000 000000 00 0 000 00004i ----------- ■■■ -----------------—-------------- EIGHTH GRADE, SECTION A MISS AMANDA MoEEOVN k r ‘ fjn teeesamsassau EIGHTH GRADE SECTION A KISS AMANDA MoKEOWN, SPONSOR CLASS OFFICERS R, V.
