SENIOR CLASS POEM We are the senior class of forty-nine, And l think surely we have done just fine. Of course I'm really not to blame, Since Wilda Gearhart is my name. Virginia Barks comes first upon my list, Followed by others I hope not to miss. And next in line comes friendly Gladys Clark, When you mention basketball she has lots of spark. And now there's Gladys Cribbs who is my pal, To others she is just a plain old gal. Eadra Flickinger has only one gait, It seems to me she is always late. MaryEIane Green is another bright scholar, But dd wouldn't sell her for many a dollar. Lois Henderson is a long old name. Although she is cute just the same. Since books to us are a pain in the neck, You'll find Ruby Kimmel is right on deck. Gilbert Frailey has a very nice car, And Arlene Mclntire has seen that far. l think Elinor Mclntire once more has a date, . Gearhart is the name, and he is never late. Lucille Silvis is new this year, When she is driving she forgets low gear. foanne Schall can stand on' her head, But there are other reasons she can't get to bed. Ianet Rearick has a very nice smile, And it stays with her all. the while. Beverly Leightley is getting engaged, And l think Clair Iamison has her paged. The President of our class is Helen Schall, If you want to find her, look in the hall. One of our cheerleaders is Glenna Mae Wood, And l think she is very good. Eileen Wray you will find drives a car like a whizz, But don't get too close to her old tin lizz. Since Bill Anderson drives an Olds, He has a heater that never gets cold. Dan Smith proves to be very kind, As he never leaves the girls behind. Leroy Rupert has brown curly hair, He is one that doesn 't give a care. Donald Lawton drives a blue truck, And I hope it brings him lots of luck. Donald Rupert is surely no Bing, This is a fact when you hear him sing. As Ronald Shaeffer is a ladies man, He sits with them whenever he can. Bill Reefer' is the brains of our class, Which seems to mean he is going to pass. Earl Rupert surely likes Claire, Some day they will make a very fine pair. Mr. Herceg is our home room teacher, Sometimes you would think he was a preacher. .-,,.. W N.-. -18-

CLASS PROPHECY One cold day last winter as I sat before the fire reading a book, I fell asleepzzzzzzzz and as I slept I had the most wonderful dream, a dream that took me twenty years into the future. The title of the book I was reading was The 1959 Class of Elderton Ioint High School, and strange to say I found myself in Elderton Ioint City. I had just landed from a plane whose pilot was none other than my old schoolmate Bill Anderson. He told me that after graduating from Elderton Ioint High School he decided to take up flying. He learned to pilot a plane at one of the training schools in Shelocta and is now working for the United Nations Transport Company. Elinor Mclntire and Helen Schall were so glad they had studied P. O. D. at Elderton Ioint High School, since they are the chief rep- resentatives of Elderton Ioint City. I decided I would go and see my old friends Glenna Mae Wood and Ioanne Schall who are appearing every week at the Metropolitan Opera House on Elderton Avenue. Oh! Yes, you are all invited back to Lucille Silvis and William Reefer's wedding in Iune. Mary Iane Green is a newspaper reporter for Elderton City Tribune, and she expects to have a big write-up of Lucille and William's wedding in Iune. After seeing Mary lane, I took a bus over to one of the department stores and found the head managers to be Beverly Leightley and Fadra Flickinger. Don Rupert has done very well for him- self. He is chief-of-staff at the Iohn Hopkins Hospital on 92nd Street in Girty. I saw someone coming down the street and found it to be Lois Henderson. She was off-duty just then. You see she has graduated from South Bend School of Nursing. I went to the Art Gallery on Gastown Boulevard and saw many paintings the most beautiful of which was called Winter Time and was a view of Elderton Ioint City, painted from the school grounds during the great snow of 1949. As I stood looking at the painting, I became aware of the name plate in the corner of it which said-Ianet Rearick. I visited the motion picture studios in Elder- ton Ioint City and four of the most famous stars were Don Lawton, Ruby Kimmel, Gladys Cribbs, and Virginia Bark. I am not surprised to hear that Ronald Shaeffer and Earl Rupert are giving private les- sons of Algebra at Elderton Ioint High School, since they were both very good in Algebra. Dan Smith is being suggested as Secre- tary of Agriculture for Elderton Ioint City and the other cities surrounding it. Wilda Gearhart and Arlene Mclntire have started one of the largest homes for cats and dogs in Whitesburg Valley. Eileen Wray and Gladys Clark are travel- ing sales ladies for Elderton Evening Post, and Girty's Home Gardening Magazines. On Elderton Boulevard is an ice cream fac- tory owned and run by Leroy Rupert. My dream ended and that is all I can re- member because I heard Mother calling me for dinner.
