SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Ann Waterhouse As this year’s graduating class We say we’re forty-niners. We are very proud because We are this year’s head-liners! In the fall of nineteen forty-five, We entered dear old Alma Mater. Officers were, Les, Rosie and Bert, Miss Olinger was our sponsor. In our next year, forty-six, We chose Char, Bert and Jane to guide us. Mr. Morris was always there To back us up and stay beside us. Now forty-seven was quite a year. Hoppy, Casey and “Sparkie” worked hard. Mrs. Kingsbury was always near To keep our record from being marred. Our senior year has been truly notorious. Mr. Schock has worked along with Casey, Elaine and Ann. We’ve accomplished some things considered victorious As only a group of seniors can. After four good years full of activities We are leaving Walnut High. We’ll always remember good times we have had And certainly hate to say goodbye. Now as we leave let us part with this thought, We shall never forget our school days Nor the faculty, classmates, friends we have made And fun we have had in so many ways. SENIOR OFFICERS President James Casey Vice President Elaine Glafka Secretary-Treasurer. Ann Waterhouse SENIOR ADVISER Mr. J. J. Schock SENIOR MOTTO A hard beginning maketh a good ending SENIOR COLORS Blue and White SENIOR FLOWER Red Rose
