He’s a handsome lad. full of merry cheer Who always blushes when the girls say, “Dear”. He has plenty of pep and honor, too ; He’ll not call on others to help him through.

He speaks to us all as he ambles by, So each one thinks he’s a pretty fine guy. ARTHUR TOLER Softball ’43-’45 ; Baseball ’46 ; S.C.A. ’43-’46 ; F.F.A. ’43-’46, Treasurer ’46. Arthur’s a boy who has plenty of wit; When telling his jokes, he makes them a hit. He is mischievous and makes too much noise, But underneath he’s the finest of boys.

WILBERT HALEY F.F.A. ’43- ' 46, Sec. ’44-’46 : S.C.A. ’43-’46 ; Softball ’43-’46; Basketball ’45-’46. Precious gems in small packages are found ; Thus we remark w’hen Wilbert comes around. He’s quiet and unpretentious as can be, But he is learning to the “nth degree”. VIRGINIA HOLLAND Girls’ Chorus ’46 ; Softball ’43-’45, Capt. ’45 : Basketball ’46 ; Latin Club ’45-’46, Vice-Pres. ’45 ; S.C.A. ’43-’46 ; H.E. Club ’43-’44 ; Victory Corps ’45, Victory Queen ’45; Class Pres. ’44. Our “Ginny” is lively and friendly, too ; She has golden hair and eyes of clear blue. She is ever soft and gentle in her ways And never lets the clouds darken her days. ELIZABETH JOHNSTON H.E. Club ’43-’44 ; S.C.A. ’43-’46 ; Victory Corps ' 43-’45: Softball ’43-’44 ; Volleyball ’45- ' 46. “Libby” is dark haired, gentle and kind ; Words to describe her are hard to find. We are sure she won’t mind if we just say, “We like her very much ; she is okay.” MARVIN KENDALL Baseball ’43-’46 ; F.F.A. ’43-’46 ; Class Sec. ’43 ; Victory Corps ’43-’44 ; V.L.L. Debate ’46. Marvin is so witty and full of fun ; Another like him, there’s not a one. He knows more stunts than the clowns e’er do. But beneath his nonsense there’s seriousness, too. Page Nine

PARTINGS So many joys we’ve shared together In all our work and play, But now our joys are torn asunder And we must part today. So many glad hours did confront us In these great halls of fame. Old Axton High is very dear to us ; We won’t forget her name. Here once we began our life’s battle But now has come the day That we must take the parting by-roads That lead many a way. With sad good-byes, but fondest mem’ries. We bid each one adieu; We pray that God will ever keep us Among the great and true. DOROTHY DILLON Poet, Class ’46 PAULINE WYATT H.E. Club ’43-’44. Sec. ’44 ; S.C.A. ’43-’46 : Vic- tory Corps ’43-’45 ; Softball ’43-‘44 ; Class B Vice- Pres. ’44; Basketball ’45-’46 ; V.H.L. Debate ’46; D.A.R. Good Citizen ’46. One quieter than Pauline we ne ' er have met She is a grand sweet lass we’ll not forget. She keeps down her temper and does not com- plain. And seems like the sunshine in midst of rain. Baseball ’43-’46; Victory Corps ’43-’44 ; S.C.A. ’43-’46 ; Softball ' 43 ; F.F.A. ’43-’46, Reporter ’43, Vice-Pres. 46. Gerald is quiet, always so courteous, too, He’s ever ready a service to do. You seldom ever hear him gripe and fret. While others grumble whene’er they are met. GERALD WILSON Page Eleven
