Class Poem Well! Here we are!! We've come this far!! Though years may come, And years may pass, It'll be a L O N G time, ere We forgefour-Seiuior Class! Going steady is Delores Ballard's game, Will Conrad ever be her name ? Late to bed and early to rise, Makes Dody weary and wise. You can see her any time of day Heading out the Boge rt way, For Naomi Bateman, poetry is her game, Auto Annie is her middle nameg She's all alone and on the prowl, And, oh golly! Can she howl! She likes to pinch and fight, This she does with all her might, Leon Belcher, always on the beam, One of our student managers, He'll help support our team, Blond of hair--blue of eye, Just why he ticks We'll never know why! Gerald Dodie Bennett, dark of eye, It is for him We girls all cry. He's not shy, he's not quiet, This guy's always a riot! He's a man, he is a man, He's a family man! ! Jerry Buford is one on whom you can depend, His faults are fewg his virtues manyg He has friends from here and there, But a girl friend, he hasn't any. But someday one will make his heart sing, And he will give her a wedding ring, Bobby Bullington is tall and dark, Upon the world, he will soon make his mark. His grades would be better, the teachers say If he came to school every day, And we will all have to agree, But wouldn't that be a miracle to see.

Class Flower We, the class of nineteen hundred fifty-six, have chosen for our class flower, the American Beauty Rose. There are many reasons for our choice. First because of its richness and beautyg then too, the rose is a symbol of tenderness, love, and purity. The rose must be sheltered and guarded if it is to thrive. This is comparable to the years and worry which have been devoted to our protection and security. The rose is a tender blossom, thereforeg painstaking and devoted care is necessary for successful development. This is also true with human lives. We, like the rose, have been protected and cultivated, so we, too might develop successfully and be acceptable and helpful to our fellow man. The blooming process of the rose requires much time and patience, If rude hands try to assist in the blooming, the petals are torn from the bud, and the life of the flower is ruined. So it is with us. The se past years in school have been the beginning of our blooming so that we may now blossom into flowers to grace the garden of society, The rose is also a symbol of endurance, When placed among other flowers in a bou- quet, although the others have long withered and died, the rose will be fresh and un- changed, Because of this we feel the rose is an appropriate class flower. We have finished school while the othe rs have fallen by the way, Sue Sears Senior Farewell We, the Seniors of 1955-56, have had four years of pleasure and hard work. Now as graduation draws near, we look back and live each minute of our high school life again. We realize that many of our happy days have passed and we shall wish we could live them again. Now as our high school days draw to a close, we realize that some of our happiest days are gone forever, Soon, we shall turn the halls of English High School over to the underclassmen and the new students. Some of us may never meet again after graduation, Some of us will enter college. Others will settle in different parts of the world with different kinds of jobs, But, in later years we will look back at our high school days and see some of the big mistakes we made, Now comes the time to tell our teachers, schoolmates, and classmates farewell May there sometime be a reunion of the class of 1956, Remember, Seniors, Your future is what you make it, Robe rt Shafe r

Bonnie is dependable, considerate, and sweet Out of our life, we never want her to pass. She is one of the nicest girls we hope to meet. Edna Mae Smith is very, very shy, If a boy speaks to her, she nearly cries To miss a basketball game would be a crime, One of Edna's virtuesg she is always on time, Edna walks to school each day, And always has something nice to say. Loretta Smith is full of life and pep, She has brown hair and blue eyesg The boys all think she is really hep! Loretta is kind, considerate, and wise, Tooter will leave us this year, Only to marry Carrol, we fear. Marvin Smith is tall, dark, and handsome, Many girls have tried to capture his heartg They plot and they scheme, but try as they may With his class ring he just won't part, That his future life is bright, the stars say, And upon this he will soon start. John Stephenson is our only redhead, He is good looking, many have said, Big--tall, and yet slender, We hear he has a crush on Ellender. Always on the beam, and full of jokes, And he's right in the re supporting our team. Jean Swecker's future is all set, She has a diamond on her handy One day an unforgettable man she met, He later became her darling husband. For her to be in our class we are glad, If she should leave, we would be sad. Next on the list is Opal Teaford, Opal has long brown hair, She is tall, cute, and sweet, Her grades are better than just fair. She thinks our class is really keen, And goes with a boy named Gene. Harry Williamson has brown curly hair, In the girls, he has no interest, But I think he and Margie would be a cute pair When on the farm, he is at his best, Harry is shy but loads of fun, A million friends he has won.
