Wcwapaem We breezed into Ela in '45, Full of pep and man-alive! In our senior year we've been going to town With the help of our president, old man Brown. Now that we're leaving Ela's hall, We'd like you to meet us, one and all: First on our list is a Ladd named Bob, Whose jokes are as spicy as corn on the cob. Helen Gehrke, we all recall, Was a whiz at the game of basketball. And we can't forget Christy, our blue-eyed boyg Around the gals he was shy and coy. Phoebe, our editor, was wondering whether We'd ever get the nElyteH together. Our dapper blonde senior, Calvin Luce, Kept the wave in his hair smooth and spruce. There's the typing speed queen, Anna Mae, She really made hard study pay. For piano playing with a boogie beat We call Cuscaden to the driver's seat. Anita Stahl was famed for her hairg Its golden hue was beyond compare. Tommy was the nman with the jokegn We laughed at every word he spoke. For a little girl with a great big smile, Marlene Eide would set the style. We envied Jack, his carefree ways, And the naps he'd take through the long school days Juanita Pelz had many beaus, Quiet ways and pretty clothes. NGentleman Bobn was Harkness' nameg Among the girls he made his fame. Herbie Holst seemed sweet and shy, But underneath--man, what a guy! Susie had an ear for song, She sang nDe De Den all day long. There's a boy whose free throws brought us fame, LeRoy Kalkbrenner is his name. Nancy's eyes were big and quiet, But a flick of her lashes caused quite a riot. Sandman was our football king, And a well known guy in everything.

Sally was our Brenda Starry As nBear Factsu editor she went far. Harvey's flip was Ela's prideg It even brought a cheer from the other side. Betty Busch has her engagement ring, Of wedding bells we hear her sing. Richard Nelson loved a car That would travel fast and far. Marilyn R. loved a laugh and a smileg We'll remember her for quite a while. Marjorie Buesching never worriedg Her life was placid and unhurried. John made reports in history, But the source of them was a mystery. Betty Deinlein nlovedn to hear Someone call her nDing-Ling, dear.n Pat Shockey was a master hand At playing the drum in E1a's band. The nboy with the buildn - strong and tall, That's what we called our handsome Paul. Nose tilted up, face sweet and true, That was our Jeannie through and through. As hypnotist in the senior play, Frances stole the scene away. A Stan Kenton fan who never let us down, And made us love jazz, was our boy Brown. Marilyn Biere - we still hear her shout it- nCheer up, kids, don't worry about itln Harold Gnoske loved physics classg He loved it most when he could pass. Marion Wickersheim has her ring, too-- Good luck, kid, in all you do. Betty Jenkins, blonde and fair, Lived her life without a care. Tonne's fame was for his car, It flew around like a shooting star. We never knew what Norma would do, She was full of surprises, through and through All these memories we leave with a sigh, And to the rest of you we say ---- Goodbye!
