The Big Wheels THE SPOKESMEN of THE BIG MIHEELS President .................. Don Smith Vice-President. . . .... Dorene XfVeaver Secretary ...... .... . Dora Lee Kohn Treasurer. . . . . .Fred Altergott A TRAIN OF THOUGHT A train of thought comes pulling 'round the bend, Its metal casing hearing work-wrought scars, And frothy, snow-white foam escapes in jets, Enveloping the bruises by its screen. The first car brims with overpowering love, The second lurches drunkenly with hate, The third car issues mercy's soothing balm, The fourth screams scornfully at fellow cars. The engineer is anxious for his train, Each car must bear a load of precious worth, Alert, he changes hate for tolerance. Replacing selhsh pride with humhleness. The wheels click throbbingly with quickening pace. The journey for this train has just begun, The depot? past the Hills of Prejudice, The terminus? a Rendezvous with Life. Dora Lee Kohn The Pine Staff, as a representative of the Senior Class of 1951, wishes to thank the Annual Staff advisor, Mrs. Margaret Snyder, the teachers and students of Buchanan High School, and all those who, in any way, had a part in making this annual possible.
