r r J ✓ 5 r ✓ j s rd T r r1 r CLASS POEM Twenty green freshmen straight from heaven Resolved to be seniors of forty-seven And now that we have accomplished our aims We have set our goals for still higher claims. In order that you may know them well About our classmates we must tell Lest we forget they are our pals We've written a poem about our guys and gals. An attractive blonde is our Shirley Is it true she likes hair that is curly? Wendell Couch the shiek of our class Has gone to Cordova and found a fair lass I Charleen Clover is destined to be Working with Frankforter in a Grocery. Don thinks there’s nothing so fine as a jeep But lately his parents get little sleep. Lower classmen are Elizabeth’s joy She’s especially fond of a junior boy. Dwaine Thomsen, our tallest lad. Says playing hookey is just a fadi To be a singer would be lots of fun We know-Eyvonne is a gifted one. Bob Leibee is our football star With athletics he will go far. For some reason, Geneva is Cleo’s favorite town She may have a business ther of great renown. John is the fellow that likes to dance But the morning after he’s in a trance. Lea Ann drives a ford, when at school she is due Someday she'll drive one and it will be blue. A great gad about is our La Rue He hopes someday to find a girl that’s true. Marilyn dreams of teaching as her profession We wish her luck and much progression. Plymouths or Dodges; either will do But there's only one girl to whom Tom will be true Dorothy is the oldest girl in our class To be a secretary is the Joy she will surpass. Virgil is a handsome fellow He likes a moon that's soft and mellow. And so ring the bells of parting For our separate ways we must go So fast have these memories been darting That our goodbyes are said in tones low I r 4 d d =- r s d d f f i i d r j r ' r =Li V: V- — j Vw , d 7 f d r d T f

CLAoS HISTORY On August 31, 1943, promptly at 9s00 o clock, twenty prospective carnival hands entered the halls of Exeter High for their four-year contract• Mrs. Bitter as ringmaster; Virgil Condon, trainer; Tom Manning, assistant trainer; and Eyvonne Plettner, ticket-taker started us out on our Journey to success. We were duly initiated into the business by the Sophomores in early October. That fall our cast was weakened by the loss of Ramona Chapman. Advancing steadily in our careers the second semester was marked by no other change than that of the posi- tion of ticket-taker which was given to Shirley Johnson. The season ended well and we all left on three-month vacations. In September of 1944, nineteen hands registered for the coming season.

When we assumed per- formance for the second half of the season Eyvonne plettner guided us as trainer and Wendell Couch accepted the duties of assistant trainer. Don Clarke was ticket-taker. We proceeded happily on and looked forward to our next two years as upper classmen. However, a few days before parting for our summer activities we enjoyed a pic- nic at the Blue River, followed by a skating party at Waco, ended our seasons duties.
