THE END OR THE BEGINNING Some people go to school for days of fun; Others go because it keeps them on the run; While those that go to learn are few, We surely hope that's why we do. By grumbling and griping each passing day, Of tasks that were given all along the way, We now have come near the time When we shall leave all this behind. To teachers, thanks, for helping bit by bit And giving us a kick when we had need of it; They have worked with us side by side And watched us progress stride by stride. Yet after all is finished and over, We find that we're still not in beds of clover. The worst is yet to come they say; We now must earn our bread each day. So now we part and go our way, Hoping to meet again some day Since no one knows when it may be, For that we must just wait and see.

THE STATISTICS OF '50 OR WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO FORGET No characters listed below are fictional, although they should be, and any similarities between them and any other living thing is nothing to brag about. According to a recent nation-wide survey, I find that the Great 1950 Senior Class of Cleveland High School is composed of thirty-one members and almost that many students. Unless I have been very badly fooled, twenty of our class are girls while the smaller percen- tage of only eleven are boys. Because of this reason the girls have always won the badly disputed and possible crooked elections by a landslide, or maybe I should say by a handslide. The boys’ standing average, barefoot or in the summer, is five feet and ten inches (?) and their sitting average is about .9 of the time. The average standing height of the girls is five feet and six inches, and they have a pretty good sitting average too. In the weight catagory here’s what we find: The boys have an average weight of 158 pounds - a handsome figure for such handsome lands. The girls, reminding one of Geometry as they study their figures - and they know all the angles, have an average weight of 145 pounds, a well-fed bunch. Now we come to the shoe size business in which we really have something. Billy Wilhelm has something, that is, he takes the cake with a size 11 1 2. In spite of this, he is disappointed because he wanted a foot. Even with Billy’s foot in the business, we still average out with a neat 10 1 9 size. The girls’ average shoe size is a slopy 6 6 6. As nobody in this class wears a hat, we naturally don’t need a a hat size. This may prove to be trouble some day as St. Peter may not give some of us that golden crown because of this lack of knowledge. This remarkable group of Seniors has potentialities for many kinds of occupations, ranging from a doctor to a professional loafer and from an architect to a card player. Yes, we have one guy who wants to be a poker player, and if he isn’t careful, he may make an Ace” of himself some day. We should naturally include our average favorite subjects, so here they are: The class as a hole prefers Dick Tracy to Shake- speare, while the girls' favorite subject is boys and the boys' favorite subject is, as you have probably guessed, hopscotch, espec- ially with real scotch (or bourbon.) Here are some more things you will enjoy knowing when you are a hundred years old: The grades on our report cards average from A, once in a while, to D-. There are more Baptist than any other church denomination. The things we like to sing best are songs and, of course, we would rather eat food than anything else. This concludes the Statistics of 1950; but soon, when we are freed or graduated from school, and when we are no longer to see this splendid group of people day by day, we will have only this annual with these statistics to which we can refer. We will always remem- ber some of our dear classmates, while the rest of them, we will never forget. When those grave days come that separate us from this wonderful class, may we read these Statistics and think of them as representing us in this way: Here (these statistics) is the shell; the nuts have gone!!
