. fi, ,h r ,fl CLASS PoEM The class motto of fifty-one, So much to dog so little done. Describes us-everyone and all, As we harken to the world's call. Though angels now we seem to be, We oft have acted differently. Then, in detention hall have stayed. When noise we made in study hall, Then to the oilice we would Hy. Many teachers' hair turned gray, Before we finished our school days. Through the years we lost quite a few, Whose seats were taken by some new. Until now, here at last remain, ' The twenty-four whom I will name. Bernard, Louise, Blair, and Bernice, Mabel, Delone, Pat, and Janice. Vivian, Roger, Jim, and Donald, Peggy, Eleanor, James, and Ronald. Louise, Gerald, Don, and Della, Donna, Velma, Floyd, and Luella Waiting patiently to receive A goal we have longed to achieve. Time has come for us to utter Farewell to our Alma Mater. The noise and bustle put aside, And time for us to show our pride. To this poem there's rhyme and reason, And many jokes and tricks have played, It ends our list of Seniors for the season. To all graduates we say So Long. May God watch o'er you and praise yo UI' S011 -DoNNA SMEL'rzER PEGGY Su.v1s ...25...

unior Play Adam's Evening Many people still remember the play, Adam's Evening, put on by the Juniors of 51 . It was presented on March 30 and 31. Everybody seemed to enjoy it for it was the talk of the town for weeks. Adam Adams had been having an enjoyable evening while his wife was on vacation. It was so enjoyable that he stayed out until four o'clock with another woman. They got mixed up with a crazy taxi driver who was trying to kill him- self but never accomplished the task. His wife comes home unexpectedly and finds out he was out until four o'clock. He had some tall explaining to do. He told her he was in an accident in which a man was killed. Mrs. Adams sends a wreath of flowers to the dead man who is very much alive. There are some tall entangle- ments that follow, such as the crazy man comes to the Adams' home and tries to kill himself. After being unsuccessful, he explains Adam's situation to Adam's wife. Everything turned out perfectly. The play was directed by Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Brown.
