This Ole School CHORUS VERSE II CHORUS VERSE III CHORUS This ole school is losing its Seniors, This ole school is losing its brains. These ole Seniors are hardened veterans. As they studied through the years of pain. This ole school once rang with laughter, This ole school heard many shouts. Now she trembles in the darkness, As the Seniors all walk out. Ain’t a gonna need this school no longer, Ain’t a gonna need this school no more. Ain’t got time to study our History, Ain’t got time to sweep the floor And make Mister Nelson mad. Ain’t a gonna need this school no longer, We’re gettin ready to meet the world. This ole school is gettin weary, This ole school is a gettin old. These old Seniors are too brilliant, These old Seniors are too old. Oh our knees are gettin’ shaky, But we feel no fear nor pain, Cause we see our diplomas peekin’ Through a teacher’s mean, cruel hand. Mister Hagan lies a-sleepin He don’t know we’re going to leave, Else he’d wake up in the assembly, And he’d sit and howl and grieve. But our Senior days are over, Ain’t gonna study our books no more, When Mister Nelson hands us our diplomas, We’ll be headin’ for the door.

Class Will My friends, you have been called to fulfill your duties as heirs of this, my respect- ed client, the class of 1955. May I as well as my lamented client, entreat that you receive your respective legacies in the spirit of unselfish friendship with which they are given ? We the class of 1955, in the town of Cairo, the county of Hall, and the state of Nebraska, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament. My client has instructed me to pass on these few trinkets which they have be- queathed to the following people. As for their knowledge, abilities and money they have decided to take it with them. To the Juniors we leave our pride and intestinal fortitude. To our good friends, the Sophomores, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means of enduring the Juniors. To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen we leave a map of the school build- ing so that they will not get lost and roam about in everybodies way. We also include with this map a book entitled, “How to Tell the Teachers’ . You will notice we say how” to tell them not “what . They will find this information very valuable. To our old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left behind. I, Wanda Myers, will my ability to keep true to my man to Arlene Southard. I, Dennis Murfin, do reserve and keep all my gray matter to be used hereafter in college. But do hereby will Leroy Heupel my limited knowledge of romance al- though he may already have it? I, Beverly Hargens, will my ability on how to get a diamond to Karen Rathman in hope that she may use it well in future years. I, Bob Luther, will my ability to get along with all the girls to Don Hargens. I, Jerry Myers, will my brain power to Don Stange, even though he does not want it. I, Jack Hadenfeldt, will my safe driving to Tom Hulme as he really needs it. I, Larry Bellamy, will my ability to keep on a diet to Mr. Colman. I, Frances Runge, will my ability to pop corn to Pat Hendrickson. I, Darrel Brundage, will my innocence in matters of love to Virgie Wooden. I, Dallas Fowler, will my curly hair to Wayne Johnson. I, Don Ciem, will my brain power to Wayne Veeder. Our last item of our will and testament is to our faithful janitor, Harold Southard. The memories of the good times we have had in this old school, and may he keep them always. Compliments Of BAIRD’S PROPANE SERVICE 14 Compliments Of STOP SHOP Groceries Drygoods BEAUTY SHOP

Let Us Admit It Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should: We've had no end of lessons, and they’ve done us no end of good. We entered as timid Freshmen, we leave as graduates bold. And we find it hard to realize the know-ledge our young heads hold. We’ve had our foolish notions knocked higher than Franklin’s kite; Our minds have been made over, and we know it served us right. We’ve spent four years in labor hard to prove the fact once more That life is quite confused, and two and two are seldom four. We’re crammed to the brim with learning, and now w e must turn it to use. And if one of us is a failure, he hasn’t a single excuse. The more we work and the less we talk the better results we shall get. For we’ve had four years of training; it may make us successes yet. Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should: We're proud of Cairo High School; it’s donemus a lot of good. Class Officers President ... Vice-President Secretary ... Treasurer . . . .
