school regularly. She maintains the idea that a child has no excuse for be- ing late or tardy unless ill with a contagious disease. It was mentioned that the Three Jitterbugsn-Mary Dohner, Donelda Cox, and Genieve Ginder-competed with Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth for the National Jitterbug Championship, which took place in Butler last week. I was sorry to hear that they received second place. My old classmate Charles Oberlin, now president of the Wabash Rail- road, has hired an English teacher to give free lessons to his employees. He dislikes hearing the wrong pronunciation of words. The telephone buzzed with news of Jean Hollinger's last quarrel with Ruth Cotrill. Jean insists that Ruth should drop out of the Miss 1956 contest- Unless the quarrel is settled, their devotion for each other will end in disaster. Our two geniuses of 46, Scientist Allen Dirrim and Doctor Don New- comer, have given the world a cure for Rubeola, a contagious eruptive febrile disorder, commonly called Measles. This terrible disease has given the medical profession a great deal of perturbation. After such a long and interesting conversation, I realized my ten years away from Butler had been the milestones of my former classmates' lives. -Grace Naitzka.

l-lere 'Tis - Qur Closs Poem REMEMBER WHEN? We heard the bell ring loud and clear Upon that bright fall morning. From thence on thru the busy years, That bell would be our warning. We were a frightened little group That gathered at the school house door. Who were taught to say yes maml' and sir, To be quiet as a mouse, and more. Thru the mysteries of the three R's we progressed Hippity hopped the grades thru, Formed our friendships and our pals- Most of them true blue. In basketball We did excell, The scores we made ran high. The good old Windmills carried thru With scarcely ever a tie. Many an honor was won in band. Accomplished musicians are We. Just look at our trophies and you'll understand. They are truly a .sight to see. So in the big world we must go And learn the trial of life. Fence with problems small and great, Cope with things of strife. But we will carry a memory dear Of good old Butler Schools And each will take his separate path, And keep the golden rule. -Bernard Rohrer.
