POEM' Elaine Abrams is first in line She does her studies and Is in bed by nine Altho her lessons are always the same She goes with a feller, and I think hefs from Rhame. Dixie Biffle is tall, studious and dark And In every subject she gets a good mark Some day she will marry, so she has said We wonder if it will be with her boy-friend Red. Bob Burkett's the fellow to whom we all go When it's time for a movie in class, or a show His lights for the Prora were a joy to behold; Electricity is his line, we don't have to be told For fast driving, Larry Busch we all know That he can make that Chev really go. But he does slow down when be wants to eat And when it comes to that he's one you can't beat. Hark, listen to the rumble, the rattle and the roar Hayes Is headed for Plevna with his footfeed to the floor. Although we all know he can play basketball real well. When his car heads for Plevna It goes pell mell. Look over in Plevna whenever you can And you see Hepperle and Schueler in a big sedan Around in school they are quiet and shy But it's late at night when they say goodbye. Out in shop Delbert Hudson spends his time Also as a sport football was In his line But when it comes to the girls he's very coy Say, isn't there a sophmore girl named Joy? Lloyd Irvine, too, finds sports in his line; When It comes to basketball, he's right on time. We find him out practicing, doing his best. And keeping his grades up to meet the worst test. Jimmy Jessup is the other who goes to Plevna every time. That's why he comes to band late every morning at nine. But Mislc and Shop he does adore He's also soda jerk down at the drug store. If a black Ford whistles by, it is Johnson, by gad. There Is a feller that's a studious lad. When he played football, he would go right through the line But when he goes out, its Betty right on time. Then comes Howard Koenig, a tall, rangy boy As basketball center, he's our pride and joy. He's pleasant and friendly, with manly good looks, And he really does well when it comes to the books. Our Peggy Lou Lund has just what it takes She plays and she sings; she sews and she bakes. She is tops in Home Ec. and other things too. But manages somehow much dating to do. Ronnie Molstad Is quiet and shy as can be Till he grabs up a football, and then you should see How he'll tackle and run till he piles up a score And then doesn't mind if he's all bruised and sore. Jack Morris we all know--a good looking guy— At whom all the girls cast a worshipful eye. Altho we're afraid he finds lessons a bore, When he playes his accordion, we clamor for more. Young Herbert O'Donnell is our studious lad For creating dlstubbances, he's never bad. He's so pleasant and friendly we like him a lot And as for nice manners--they're just what he's got. For tall, dark and handsome, Ramona Phebus we'll pick Her dimples are something to make one's heart tick But, alas, her affections are already taken. By a fellow named Wang, If we're not mistaken. The reason Betty Phillips always looks so Jolly Pretty soon she will be living In that big town of Ollie. We know that she will never get lost Because she will always be with Rost. Bill Randaah Is the boy with the cute little grin When It comes to school doings, he's always in. Class plays, sports, music and all. And still he finds time on Arleen to call. 13

Horaee Schenck Is another tall, lean, lanky gent. With a yen for a ranch where his days can he spent. Hie basketball victories have meet with success, But his skull will agree that football Is a mess. Charles Schenck, as we know. Is Horace s brother And when you see one, you can soon find the other. His opinion of books Is not quite fit to print. But out In the shop he will do a full sprint. If at night In the distance you hear a fine tune, It s that Harold Sinclair a crooning at the moon. He sings a find song, what a beautiful tone, But how does he sing when he get3 with lone? If in the distance you see a big dust. It s a girl chasing Sparks, for picture taking he must He opens a book once In a while to read And how he can brag that his Ford has got speed. Dale Stanhope Is an artist, as we all know. For when It comes to drawing, he can really make that pencil go. When he doesn’t know an answer right on the nose. He leads with his expression, I suppose. Arleen Is the gal of the Stleg twin pair And got her full share of their fair curly hair. She's always on hand when there's frolic and fun. And In her eyes our Bill is the only one. Art Is the boy of the Stleg twin pair. If you ride with him he'll give you a scare. And when you see him drive by In that Ford Beside him sits Connie and she don't look bored. Shirley Traweek Is one of the Home Ec- girls Who knows what to do with ruffles and curls. She's preparing right now for the rest of her life. And should make some good husband an excellent wife. Johnny Venell was famous In sports And there Is a girl in Miles City that he proudly courts He once made fifty points in a basketball game But It dldn t bother Johnny, he was still the same. Allan Wang, out on a farm he does live But when he is In town the girls he does give That bashful eye that shows no harm So when he comes to town, do not throw in an alarm. We have one little girl that Uvea up to her name, Leona's a Wiseman If ever one came. Though she’s little In size, she does everything well As the list of her honors among us can tell. Another for studying books, Edith Tunby we'll take But If three years for Johnaon she'll wait. She'll be out on a ranch with cattle to rangle . And when she gets mad that Johnson she'll mangle. As we come to the close of our four years together, And we look at the storms we have all had to weather. We don't know how lucky we are to have had Mr. Heftle to lead us In times good and bad Jack Morris, Horace Schenck, Dale Stanhope, Betty Schueler, Delores Hepperle, Delbert Hudson. who took Miss Eichenburger's place.
