AMBITIONS OF SENIORS Imogens Bates wants to be a nurse, But being Mrs. Wayne Bristow will probably come first. Josce Smith things she’ll be an old maid, She'll never make it we're sadly afraid. Virginia Sabey will be a wife, Mrs. Gerald Rimby for life. Gay Conklin is the radio sound-effects man, Program Neckonomics without her would be deadpan. Wilmerth Bristow is an independent cuss, Freddie White for her without a fuss. Jackie Stareo's cry for horses is well-known, But with Floyd Bates she hopes to hold her own. Donna Rees has teaching for her aim, Will be Mrs. Haefer just the same. Buelah Mae Bloom is a pretty little lass, Well liked by all and the lady of the class. Barrie Gassett for gals has a passion, Long after we're gone he'll still be in fashion. Clifford Towle, a somber lad, Thinks a junior girl can make him glad. Leon Needham is the class clown, He brings many a laugh and makes the teacher frown. A POEM There is no place like old Cove High, Where the books fly high and wide. The English is so interesting, The History is so dry. That is why you'll never forget old Cove High. J.C. Blouse

The seniors came into high school in 1944 with 12 students. The first interesting event was initiation, which was enjoyed by all. A oarnival was also given that year, in whioh we did our share of the work. Dur- ing the last half of the year our class lost three boys. In the sophomore year our first activity was initiat- ing the poor little freshmen. Everyone had a grand time» During the junior year Kieth Hallmark transferred to La Grande; Virginia 3abey and Joscelyn Smith joined us, which made us a class of seven girls and three boys. That year 3ome of us had our first experience in dramatics, by participating in the junior play. Every- one found it a lot of fun although we were a little nervous the night of production. The senior year finally rolled around and Beulah Mae Bloom joined our group, which now makes us a graduating class of eight girls and three boys. Activities participated in this year by the senior class were: carnival, class play, and athletics, and May Day. i I AIN'T IT THE TRUTH ! Mr. Falleur is my professor: I shall not pass: ; He maketh me to read long passages: He embarrasseth me in front of mine classmates. He warpeth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of Literature for his own sake. Yea, while I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear much evil, for thou aret agin me; thy rod and thy gradebook they haunteth me. Thou preparest a test before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou annointest my card with an F ; my head acheth badly. Surely misery and horror shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the English Literature room forever. AMEN.
