CLASS POEM We started out upon o iourney iust twelve years ago, To go to school to learn and study upon life's open road. As the time rolled around we found we had to part, So this poem we wrote from the depth of our heart. The Senior Class is a grand old bunch, And of its goodness you haven't even a hunch. Lauretta James, a cute little daisy, Over o man has become a wee bit hazy. A pretty little girl named Lorraine James, Has a twin sister, Lauretta, looking the same. Ray Hoople, our basketball cap, Without Faye in English would be taking a nap. Neva Murbach plus a guy named Loron, Always stay out from night till morn. With Lila Lilienthal we've had our smiles, Her puns are sure to roll 'em in the aisles. Mr. Haukaas is Glenn Kirkwood's pet peeve, So that explains why Glenn, once in awhile takes o sick leave Margaret Scharff, as you all know, Well-she's the girl who can cook and sew. Lois Knock, known os Quack, Can't wait for the day when Teddy comes back. My old man all the time says, is a familiar phrase, Just blame Richard Erfurth for this craze. What would Maclins do without Miss Horn, To fix the vegetable display every morn? Dotty Wilke, who has what it takes, Has some guy thinking what a fine housewife she'd make. Bob Frohnhafer, affectionately dubbed Joke, ln speech class really takes the cake. Fraces Page has personality to please, He boy friend, Johnny, is now overseas. Ruby Campbell really has the school spirit, And if you're within a mile you're bound to hear it. Now when it comes to dancing, Tommy beats them all, He never leaves a flower hanging on the wall. fNot even a freshmanj Assssss ssss J

CLASS WILL fContinued1 Evelyn Logsdon doesn't want to will Pat to anyone, but since she is leaving, it looks like she will have to. Now's your chance, girls!!! Jessie McCall wills all her A's to Patty Fisher, you know they always help. Eva McCaffery wills her assistance as office helper to Bob Luiten, we hope you get along as well as Eva did. If not, Renie will help you. Neva Murbach wills her cowboy boots to the DeVores, we hope you can make as much noise as Neva did.

Ray Hoople wills his good record to get to class for at least half of first period to- llene McCaffery. We hope she does better than Ray did. Dona Sims wills her residence in Davenport to Alice Page, because Dona Jeanne is going to take over the cooking in the Walker home in Odessa. Lois Knack decides not to will anything because she's having a hard enough time getting her hope chest filled as it is. She wants a hope chest, not a hopeless chest.

We do further declare that at the time of the signing of said last will and testament, that the Senior Class was of sound mind and was not acting under duress, fraud, menace or undue influence. Signed: Arnold Thompson, Lois Knack, Dona Sims and Lila Lilienthal.
