Her dimples ”dimp , and brown eyes dance. When you send her way a happy glance. She never has been known to fall,” But Marian Thompson is a friend to all. Mary Ellen with her ruffles crisp. Hides a spritely will-o-the-wisp. To the service men she is loyal, For on thoir letters she does toil. Tho school’s best known camera lad, Has started up quito a fad, Now Barrett, whom everyone knows. Always keeps us on our toes. On the third finger left hand does shino, A ring which has boon there quite-some time. The best of luck Phyllis, my dear. For wo hoar that wodding bolls are near. At the end of this pome, you're sure to find. Two little girls who are always behind; All of tho mischief and all of the fun. That keep the teachers on the ran. Cheorloador Jackson, and Brandt, D, A.R., Proclaim thoir namos both noar and far. AUTOGRAPHS

OUR POME FOR '44 We’ll give you the class of '44 This is all there is, Thoro isn't more. Bus and Jim our sailors of the class, Will have in ovory port a lass. Now washing clothos I hear. Makes them shed many a tear. Mar'nell Mason our cheerleader small. Probably never will grow very tall. But at the games she really made noise. And helped to cheer our playing boys, Juanita Menzel is really a whiz, When it comes down to a typing quizi Her interests now are far over seas, And believe me it's not the Seaboes. Bob Deuterman our basketball star. May some day be hooked by a Spar. Although to school you may come late. That in the Navy will prove your fate. Sharon Cheek our History shark. Studies from daylight 'till dark. Now if a date you want to know. Direct to Sharon you must go. Merlin is our youngest lad. And in his work he isn't bad. Outside of school he isn't mean. For he's kept in line by a gal named Jean. Marvin Spaits is quiet that's sure. Another person could not be truer. To the books he studies ev'ry night. Marvin Spaits, you're really all right. If you see a whirlwind at a dance. It's sure to be Miss Ruth Frantz. She's blonde and pert, not very big. But when it's jive, can she dig! Our President and soldier to bo, Goos by the name of Bob you see. His bettor half who is tho Boss, Says that to be a Gob is a loss.

OUR ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS Since the Juniors will take over next year as Seniors here is a little advice for them. We all know, Carl Williams, that you are a nice boy but you-should try to show it. Willie Kindred could use the same advice, we think, and maybe a little more. Bill Martinis, keep up your good work in band. Gabriel may need an assistant. The Juniors have one person in their class that is late every morning and of course no one knows who it is so we will let you in on it. His name is Donnie Taylor. Get an alarm clock next yearl Can't one of you be just Mary, and one of you just Louise, and save us the trouble of saying Satterfield and Wright? Jim Tuttle, we certainly approciate all the art work you have done for us this-year, but our advice to you is: although there is a paper shortage, don't draw on the v all3. La Verne Becker, don't worry if you should have one error in typing next year. We think you'll pass. --- Nonna Turner, keep up the good work by writing to the Navy. They say it keeps up their morale. Now Maxine Amberg and Ruth Pruitt, you know that Ford is getting old. You shouldn't abuse it so by driving it all noon because it will have to last next year. Priscilla Applegate, since there is a man shortage, why don't you give the Atlanta boys a break more often? Pat Brandt, our advice to you is, better take one of your telephone hours for study, Phyllis Chrisman, shame on you for playing hookey! See what it did to that 99-7 8 average? Arlene Smith, we know you enjoy driving your sister's car, but be careful she doesn't come home unexpected and chock the speedometer, Patsy Burns is the mental genius of the class. Just ask her about Newton's Laws of Universal Gravitation or the Electronic Theory. Roger Karrick, you should be more careful turning corners or else tie them in the truck.
