A guy with ambition and a will to succeed Is our classmate, Bill Woods, whom we all are agreed. He's friendly to everyone, girl or boy, young or old, But a certain freshman lass has his heart we are told. Fairmincled forty-niner is Miss Gloria Yough, To her Clarinet Solos, we all talce a bow, Her reed-splitting art will lead h-er to fame, And we'll lcnow her by sound as well as by name.

S E N I 0 R C LAS S With an able executive force in command, we, the grand old Seniors, were led eventfully and successfully through the grand finale of our school life. Bob Smith, as President, wielded the iron rod at our numerous meetings, with Vice President Barby I-lays as his assistant. Sis Rice sharpened her pencil and acted as a secretary should-composing the minutes and sending out letters. Ken Bauer, our competent Treasurer, was kept busy collecting money for our name cards and graduation announcements. After having been informed that we were to select our class motto, colors, song, and flower, we got down to work and came up with the following: Enter to learn, go forth to serve, as our mottog our colors, blue and gold, our very appropriate song, After Graduation Day, and our class flower, the yellow rose. Included in the goings on of our Senior year was a very interesting and educational tour of the Pullman Standard Car Company in Butler. We,ll never forget our class play, The Baby Sitter. Is was a hilarious success as a comedy. The auditorium walls nearly caved in with the resounding echoes of laughter. The Music Department would have virtually collapsed without the aid of the musically in- clined Class of '49. Of the thirty-eight Seniors, thirty-four were engaged in musical activities. Whether this record has ever been or ever will be surpassed. it is doubtful. Since we had a terrific man shortage, fonly nine men as compared with twenty-nine girlsj we are extremely proud of the fact that five Senior men went out for sports in a big way. The Senior Class was well represented in Athletic Council by Marilyn and Ken. Marilyn and Wanda are to be complimented on their splendid job as cheerleaders. Marilyn served faithfully in that capacity for four years and Wanda for two years. Yes, you must admit that in Athletics and Music the Class of '49 excelled. We put forth our noble efforts during the magazine subscription drive. With Gloria and Doris at the helm, F.T.K.C. went soaring over the top. As we somberly march down the aisle to receive our diplomas, from whence we go forth out into the wide-wide world, we happily look back over our years at F.T.K.C. The happiest years of our lives are behind us.

'ag K - ' Mary Ann Todorich, Bradys Bend is her home, Loves to tell jokes but laughs most at her own. She sings Hillbilly Songs, till no one's at ease, Her favorite on the bus is No Vacancies . She can drive an old wreck, or a swell brand new car, Doris Vensel who travels from near to afar. She does not believe that all roads lead to Rome, But the longest way round is the sweetest way home. Now just lower the mike and I'll introduce one, Knee high to a grasshopper, but just twice as much fun. He's Bob Whitmer, or Pee-ween, and will he get a surprise, I-Ie'll get the same kind of diploma as guys twice his size! Phyllis Williams of Kaylor, a for- getful lass, Forgets books or purses, till POD Classg Then up goes her hand, May I leave the room? I forgot this or that in the Commerial Room.
