WHITEFEATHER Page Nineteei The Artist Gallery of the Seniors Ten Years From Now For you a picture I would paint Of no! no picture of a saint But just the youths who represent My class, I now with pride present. ROGER WHEELER The engineer whom we first view This boy is rich in knowledge due To reading books in his spare time And storing all he reads in mind. RUTH MERTZ Ruth , the shortest one of all Took a business course one fall Now sheis typing the living long day Really earning Very good pay. CATHERINE MORLOCK Now, Catherine, tall and dignified Spends her time at The Riversiden Serving people who come to eat She likes her work and calls it a treat. MARY COOK Click, click, click, the typing keys are singin' Ding, ding, ding, the bell's a loudly ringin' Swish, swish, swish, the paper's rolling out Our Mary is working without a doubt. IRA PLACE After the summer he gathers the grain Autumn sees riches piled high that he gains From his labor in summer in fields on the farm Labor thar's honest and keeps him from harm. ISABELLE BOWERSOCK Izzy business manager of our class Has continued with this task As manager of a home Away from Pug no more will roam. MARY VAN OUNDY A dear and kindly soul is she Whose heart is filled with sympathy For the ones who need her care As a nurse she does her share. CAROL TANOEMAN The tall one with the curly mop And weight enough for ball to sock A successful coach has been thus far Your record, Carol, please do not mar. LOUELLA CRAFT Fingers, fingers everywhere Flying over scalp and hair A massage, a curl, a manicure too All this and much more Louella must do. JERRY FRITZ With the keenest of relish for color and hue A landscape of beauty he'll paint for you By his love for music, true and fine, Our jerry earns his daily dime. HAROLD BIEDERMAN No matter what your crime may be He sees that you can go scott free He pulls the law like a rubber band And in the end you're a liberated man. FREDERICK BRUNER Razor with those deep blue eyes In whose depths a twinkle lies just why did he a lawyer make just why did he this task partake. DOROTHY CRAFT Dot a seamstress mighty fair Stitches gowns that really wear Sets the style for all who say Dressing well will surely pay. VIRGINIA BRUNER Behind a desk she stands each day Teaching pupils to study and play She also says she'll never marry To some this seems like the tale of a fairy. Now if you're tempted to make light just ask yourself if you are right I'm sure your answer will be nay Then accept this picture and be gay. -Virginia Bruner

WHITEFEATHER Page TWEUFYONE A POETIC SENIOR ls it a fact And can it be true That the Seniors, forever Must say adieu, To the teachers and student1 Of Buckland Hi, To face what the world Has in store-Do or die? While under their care We all have learned much, Still, only the surface Of knowledge we touched. It's not merely from teachers And hooks of reference, That we gain intelligence, But from common experience. We've had joys and trials, Temptations and sorrows, Still, in this world There are more to follow. All joys we gain, All problems we face, Must be common to all, In this human race. We have read many texts, We have played our pranks, And now, as school ends, We give many thanks To those who so faithfully Have helped us through, And from day to Clay Were so kind and true. -Mary Cook
