Senior Class of 1950 ' Come all ye, good people, Please - and listen while I tell, A story of the Class of '50, of girls and boys we love so well. To Belfast they have brought a lot of fame and honor great - I hope to mention them all in this Class poem l relate. At the Basketball Tournament were Trophies bright and new And it made our hearts glad, Belfast was presented with two. I predict in the future this Class will gain a place that's fair. For several times this year they were even on the air. Honorable Harold Pete Theiss First President-then 4 yrs. Esquire Full of vim and vigor, you bet, Belfast's Basketball Star. A favorite with the teachers And especially with the girls, The Clark Gable of the Class, Because of his black curls! Next, Joyce Eakins, lst Clarinet, A winsome country lass, Takes a lot of honors both In band and typing class. She's engaged to a. bashful boy. Good as gold her friend Harry. Joyce kept her mind on classes While Harry dreamed of Marry I Actor-Impersonator, Eddy Shoemaker In the Class Play, Greatest of all, On roller skates or in Chemistry A whiz even in basketball. I'd like to praise him all I can, Looks he has more than his share. He deserves the attention he got, And he got it everywhere . Cheerleader, Helen A. Edingfield With her famous flaming hair of Red, Near and far at home and abroad, This Beauty's fame has spread. With her bass horn, sad 8: forlorn , The fun and frolic of the Class - A true friend - a real sport By none other is surpassed. Handsome Delano Riley also strong He has hair that girls crave - Bashful for years, but he got along With blond curls and lovely waves That boy has a shape like Samson A lad no one could ever forget, Set a record for the school - Ha.sn't missed a day yet! Lovely Irene Wylie, good, kind 81 fair. Deserved a lot of special mention, For when she played her Sax, Belfast gives her some attention. Her voice is like unto the nightingale Clear and sweet each note does fall, Like the soft murmur of the brook Or the clear crystal tone-a golden ball Eugene Ernst - Always in earnest He is well named in fact - Used his gas buggy constantly Transporting objects forth and back. To the class he was useful. Perhaps I should say indispensable For they always depended on Eugene, He was a lad trustworthy and sensible. Violin player, Leota Edingfield, Best Cheerleader in town, Her blond hair makes her attractive Not to mention those big eyes of brown She is the Shortie of the Class. But though she may be small She's a great pal to everyone And loved by one and all! Irish Donald Kelley, Outstanding By his name you can see, Should be in Hollywood, With all his personality He has that famous Irish smile And the winning Irish way, No matter how you feel It brightens up the day. Cute is Larry Thoroman, and Good natured, always ready to joke, Take your picture anytime, If his camera isn't broke. At Belfast his name is history. Talents, he has and to spare, Disposition that is envied, Brains! 'He has his share.

I also found Helen Edingfield in Indianapolis. She is working as a typist for a doctor. She is not married but the big wedding is just around the corner. She wants to be a part time nurse during her spare time. I hope you have a very happy life, Helen. Next I took a plane and went to Kansas City and found Donald Kelley living in a very new Modern type home. When I knocked a little blond girl about four years of age came to the door. She told me that her name was Susie. When I asked her where her Daddy was, she said he was in the kitchen and invited me to come in. When I entered into the kitchen Donald was raiding the ice box, he had a huge sandwich in one hand and was hunting for something else with the other. Donald is a merchant. He said that business was low at the present. Shorty , Rose Mary Wilkin, lives in San Diego, California. She is having a wonderful time here in California. N0 wonder with all her millions. Rose Mary is a movie star and is teaching her daughter, Connie, to become a movie star too. Larry Thoroman moved out to Arizona because of his health. He lives in a modern ranch type house. Larry is doing farm work for him- self and is helping his neighbors with their work. I heard that Juanita Warnock was living in Texas, so that was my next stop. Juanita is a busy girl because she is Home Economics De- monstrator. This is an outside job for Juanita is married. Juanita, you are doing very good work in combining homemaking with a career. I arrived at Fort Knox to find that Delano Riley was not Captain Riley. Delano, I hear from several people that you are doing swell work there at Fort Knox. I took a plane to Miami and found Leota Edingfield, Roger, and their four children living in the most beautiful home. The house is white with a big porch. In front of the house is a big fish pond with a flower garden all around. Leota and Roger named their home Our Dream House . I think that is a very good name because that is just what it is--A Dream House. Next I traveled up to Jamestown, Virginia, to find John Hart. I just arrived in time because John was getting ready to go to Panama. John is an airplane pilot. He said that it was very interesting. I took the bus up to Detroit where Hugh Humphrey lived. But to my surprise I also found Eugene Ernst was there on his vacation from the Army. Eugene said that he likes the Army very well. Hugh's farm is about 75 acres. This vacation has been a very nice one. It brought back events to be remembered from our school days at Belfast. Joyce Eakins I2
