R o se Silver and Blue POEM The Class of 55 cqlie Glass of f55 When first we entered high school, 'Twas in our sophomore year, Everything seemed all so new, And confusion was mixed with fear. At first it was quite diiiicult To remember who was who, And finding oneself in the wrong class Was an experience missed by few. It did not take too long though, For all to get acquainted. Then initiation came, Not so bad as it was painted. Soon we were in the swing of it, joining clubs, attending each game, But june soon came with finals, And all had reached their aim. We were Juniors! Returning to our school next fall Brought many happy smiles. Seeing our friends with spirit fresh, Ready to face new trials. We tried our best as salesmen To sell the most magazines, But our best was not enough, For the Seniors were the kings and queens. Next came the Junior Prom Which was based on gay Paree. To make the dance successful, We all worked cheerfully Then Act Your Age was given And received schoolwide acclaim. But before we knew it june was here. Once more all reached their aim. We were Seniors! Now we are in school again As Seniors here at last. Realizing all there's to be done Our zest is not surpassed. First in the magazine drive We won a sizable sum. After the success of our play We knew we had just begun. The ski jaunt, then the Capitol Seen during spring vacation, The Senior prom with gowns and tux, And last - our graduation. We've made new friends, keeping old And parting will be sad, But we'll always remember Things done and good times had. We are Alumnig the class of '55 Beverly Merrill, '55

JACQUELINE MARIE WIESE The mort completely loft of all nlayr ir that on which one har not laughed. Photography Club 2, Conservation Club 3, 4, Hilltop Club 5g Outing Club 4, Minstrel 5, 4, Senior Play. Jackie could laugh even though the joke was on herself. What will next year's minstrel be without the team of Daughn and Wiese! Ever cheer- ful she even maintained her happy mood when beset by the teasing antics of Collie, The sick need happy personalities about them, jackie, and you should be a wonderful addition to the nursing profession. JAMES W. WOLFE Great oak: from little acorn: grow. Audio-Visual Club 2, 55 Rifle Club 4, Chefs Club 4. James believes in the old adage, Seen but not heard. He was, however, most loquacious with his special friend Don. Your taciturnity has kept us from knowing your future plans, jimmy, but we feel sure that you will make yourself an important addition to the field of restaurant owners. MARGARET CATHERINE WOLLENBERG To a young heart everything ir fun. Conservation Club 5, 4, Dramatic Club 4, Hilltop 3, Minstrel 2, 4. Peggy is the model for Sinatra's record If You're Young at Heart. Seen at her favorite rendezvous in the corridors, she chatted gaily with her girls friends about senior interests and activities. We found no reluctance in her when she was asked to serve on a committee. With such willingness and cooperation, you should be a valuable medical secretary. ARTHUR L. ZINSER A willing -worker with a ready hand. Conservation Club 3, 4g Model Club 2, Chefs Club 4, Minstrel 4, Junior Playg Farmington Indian 4, Halloween Dance Committee 55 junior Prom Committee, Winter Carnival Dance Committee. Arthur never waited for anyone to ask him to help, but offered his services whether it concerned the lighting effects in the minstrel or drawing for numerous programs. His work in art was something we all admired. You should have many friends in the radio and television fields, Art. 26
