Mata SJMHDHQQJYWEKQ Let's look at the Class of '53 To see what each one wants to be. The following lines reveal to you The kind of work we hope to do. Shirley Amstutz has gone to college To earn her two degreesg Now she's back at Kidron Teaching the children their ABC's. Willis is now a professor stern Down at Ohio State. If you're ever in his class You'd better not be late. Clarence is known throughout the nation For his books and essays on crop rotationg He's working now at the exoeriment station To advance his theories on conservation. JoAnn B. is an artist true Painting ads for highway signsg Her murals have won her wide renown On scenic routes from town to town. Marlene is now a secretary Who took a liking to her bossg His praise for her is always high Even when there's been a loss. Kay D. inherited a fortune And made her dreams come true By visiting many countries Far across the ocean blue. Evelyn is a bookkeeper gay Adding long columns of figures each day. To shorten these columns was always her dream So the boss finally gave her an adding machine. Jean is now a waitress At S1lver's Service along Route 30, The customers all say the food is fine, So, why don't you go there to dine? Ruth Etling now stars on television Doing comedy shows galore, So, if you're sad and want to laugh Tune in on Channel four. Betty has just become a Wave All dressed in navy blueg She really enjoyed her work at first But hopes she'll soon be through. Barbara is now the manager At Berlin's grocery store. You'll find the choicest bargains there When she greets you at the door. Dennis is a well-known dairy farmer With a herd of registered Holsteinsg But in the evening when chores are done, He's out for coon with his dog and gun. As secretary for the West Lebanon Garage, Margaret F. started her out-of-school life, But that job didn't last long, I hear, For she is now the top mechanic's wife. A telechone operator Arlene has becomeg Her voice sounds pleasant to everyone. We think she's the best there ever was, So, for that long distance call, just give her a buzz. Joan is now a buyer For an imcortant New York Firm. This job has nossibilities galore And she even has money to burn. Dora Lee is now a nurse, The rarest you can find, But she won't be a nurse for long With marriage on her mind. A nurse in white was D0PiS'S 513, Her needle nunching has won her fameg Her patients like her very much, Because she has that gentle touch. Lorene now runs the Amstutz Hatchery Where she developed a new vaccine. She has her peeos all tagged with names Like Murnhy, Maud, and Maxine. Don Hauenstein is a beef farmer With steers of enormous sizeg When fair time comes around this fall He hoces that they'll win first nrize. Vanita Horst is a nurse crecise And all the natients think she's nice. She always has something bleasant to say And gives a smile in her friendly way. Maurice is agriculturally inclined But that's not all that's on his mindg He raises cows, and Digs, and chickens, But his sneciality is Hraising the dickens.n Bill Kerr is now a millionaire And lives way un in Maine. He made all his money Selling mules to Frankie Lane. Dorothy is a clerk for Uncle Sam Doing you justice whenever she cang She just now filed your income tax, So, for another year, you can relax. Joanna K. will be home for a while, She just returned from a trip to the Nile. She's been many places, seen the Rock of Gibralter, And soon she's taking a trio to the altar. Delores is doing office work, Her duty she never tries to shirk, Even with lots of caters to file She still has time for a cheery smile. A certified Public Accountant Vaughn has finally become. He's come a long way from Bookkeebing Class Where he learned to analyze business facts. Leroy is a bainter gay Slaoning the naint on any old way. Attention, Leroy! Here's a'clue-- Put the maint on the house and not on you. Carol is going to college But not to get a degreeg She hones to be with Kenny So they can raise their family. Norma's a clerk at the Acme Weighing vegetables by the bound, And, if there's something soecial you want, She can tell you where it's found. Mary Ellen Mason worked as a secretary Putting in time until she could marry, So they were married and bought a home And Mary Ellen's working to pay the loan. Cont'd. on page 17
