THE SENIORS I'll start this with Virginia Baker And make her first on this little paper. She is the side-kick of Norma Jean Harmon Virginia's from the city, Norma Jean's farmin'. Another fine dame is Mildred Dreier Singer, typist and full o' fire. At least that goes for Hat- Stines But I'd better close these here lines. There are 2 sisters we musn't pass. They make 29 in the Senior Class. Verna and Norma will leave us . this year. There'd be 27 if they weren't here. Geneieve Laschanzky is such a long name, But she's a very fine girl just the same. Her greatest beauty is in her hair, And her way of things is really quite rare. We have a school mam that will graduate And really now kids, she's up- to-date. Dorothy Softley has found her school. I bet she'll handle a mean rule. Reta Cantrell is a school marm. She taught the kids that come from the farm. She even kept some of them after school. She'll be alright if she just keeps cool. Maybe you've heard about Margaret Starks. Her love of dogs, and her happy larks. But even at that she's a pretty fine child. To think she graduates, that really sounds wild. A handsome chap is Mr. Wayne Stone. Oh! don't get excited girls, he isn't alone. He's got a nice girl and I'll say this; From what I hear it's just plain bliss. Bill Thomson's really tall, But I must say that ain't all. He's bashful yes, but what a catch. I bet some girl will make a match. Jean Hager, a glamorous dame, With New York styles she won her name. She has a beau in the Junior class. I could say more but I'll let this pass. There's another girl who is Margaret West. For her main story I'll do my best. The only thing I know; she isn't in love, And I guess that's all that I can think of. Robert Bettger's a good lookin' chap And Vivian Ritchey really knows that. For after all she knows her stuff, And she got what she went after without any bluff. Norman Ogen is really stuck Is he good, or is it just luck? It isnyt fate, I know darn well, 'Cause believe it or not he really fell. (Continued)

CLASS HISTORY (Cont.) In our Junior year, we really enjoyed life. Miss Woerner was our Sponsor. Dorothy Softley and Evie Willis were new members. Everyone was shocked by the death of one of our members, Leland Williams. The football team showed their colors this year by marki an undefeated season. This was partly due to the out-standing players of our class. These were: Marley Biehn, Wayne Stone and Bob Eaton. The basketball season was equally successful. After many delays we finally presented Aaron Slick from Punkin Creek . We followed the customary tradition and staged a slouch day. The braver half took a powder the last 45 minutes of the day and were dismissed from classes the next day. We enjoyed this vacation very much. At the end of the year we gave the Seniors a Banquet. We used a nautical theme. The Junior boys showed their powerfulness when they threw out the Seniors a few nights earlier while we were dec- orating for their Banquet. Our Senior Year started with no change except for a slight feeling of superiority over the other students, but it didn't last long. Evie Willis left to keep the home fires burning and Carol Carpenter entered our class. Verle Owens dropped out because of illness. Nothing much happened except a theatre party for the first senior gathering of the year. The football season wasn't an expecially brilliant one, but there were some exciting games. It was especially strenuous for the Pep Club. Marley Biehn was chosen Football Captain at the end of the season. In January the class went on an excursion to Friend to have their pictures taken. Our basketball season is now a dim memory of the past. (We hope it remains so). With the coming of Spring (so Palmer says) a young man's fancy slightly turns to thoughts of love. And the coming of long assign- ments to all classes, especially to the Senior class. We still don know why. Quite a few headaches were obtained from the Regents Examinations taken by seven members of the class. At the time of printing, several members of the Senior Class were busily preparing for the presentation of the class, Pigtails Special effort was being made to equal the Junior Class Play. Anticipation of the coming Junior-Senior Banquet was high, as well as, looking forward to the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises which mark the end of school for the Senior Class of 1941

n 4 THE SENIORS Continued: Marley Biehn is tall and dark. He has a pal, name of Junior Clark. Someday Clark'11 be more than a pal 'Cause Marley's sis is Junior's gal. Another man is Conrad Cook. He's a story right out of a book. In his freshman year he was £. quite a story. But the last four years made 1im change, by gory! Chester Hickman and George Willey! They're both good lookin'. They both had affairs But the girls they both had, took both unawares. In the Senior Class there are just a few more. If I didn't get them they'd really get sore. Elaine and Wynona have ways of their own. What they are, to me, isn't known. Neal Palmer is very rare. He and Carol make a pair. They have their spats, they have their fun. You can find out the rest be- cause I'm done.
