SENIOR CLASS POEM In the vehicle of education our seniors have reached their destination. For the year of 1954 is their year of graduation. Long years of grade school and high school done, We pause for a word about each one. The first a pretty, dark-haired lass, Is the able president of the class. Her talents are many as well we know, Lessons well done or a soprano solo. At whatever sporting event you be. Basketball, baseball, you'll find Bob C. His favorite food of course is dates, Especially when they're with Laura H. A happy, cheerful girl, Mary, Can be often seen with Jerry. At shorthand and typing she's a whiz, And at cutting charming hairdos, she's the best there is. Bill's always ready for a prank. He's tall and slim, lean and lank. He and his car are one of our main features, He also thinks girls are fascinatin' creatures. A smiling, friendly girl, is she, We mean of course Alice P. A pretty blonde, small though mighty, Calm and sure, she's never flighty. This boy has talents many fold. Artist, he'll be before he's too old. Mike's always a comedian, sometimes a clown. Helps keep our chins up, our smile from turning down. Rosie's a tall and stately girl, Poised and courteous, locks with a curl. Always a pleasant word or friendly smile, Makes our school days more worthwhile. Alice E. is the Annual editor, Has many talents with which we can credit her. Friendly and pleasant, and personality, too. Sweet and kind and lots of help to you. The next in line, the last (but not least) of the boys. Is one who perhaps makes the least noise. Bob B.'s the popular Student Cabinet president, When something's up, sports or work, he's never hesitant. Carolyn's smile is always cheery, Helps keep our school day from being dreary. When grade cards come out she gets lots of A's, Which goes to prove that studying pays. There it is, my rhyme is done, And now is the time to tell everyone, Now I won't get sentimental or any of that truck. But I do want to wish them all—Good Luck!

had to be perfected. It isn't fool-proof yet. The other evening our chil- dren and their families came home unexpectedly. Since steak is a favorite, I decided to have Bill radio me some steaks. Our set must have been a little off, for the first three steaks came out hamburger. I jiggled the set a little and the rest of the steaks came out sirloin as I had hoped. When the steaks come out right every time, Bill hopes to branch out into chicken, pork, and other meats. By rearranging atoms and molecules, he may be able to radio whole meals. Then we can be free from our freezers. Alice Parker became a model. The field has greatly increased, what with costumes for interplanetary travel, and the variety of clothing needed for different planets. Their atmospheres are so unlike each other that a model has a wide variety of styles and materials to display. Alice does it well, too. I would be willing to venture the guess that her picture is a familiar sight on all the planets these days. She has steadfastly refused to model bathing suits and the like. She is, how- ever, a favorite pin-up. This is because she has kept her youth amaz- ingly. Mike Pupos expanded his ability to draw and is now an architect. His structures, though functional, tend toward the Greek in design. He has a talent for fitting a building into its surroundings as well as Frank Lloyd Wright used to do. Mike designed the spaceports on Southwest Jupiter and Middle Area Venus, as well as those in Florida and Califor- nia, to name a few. He also designed the beautiful new annex to the Toledo Museum of Art. Mary Schmitz has worked at various related jobs. Each has proven to be an advancement over the last. She started as receptionist for the director of the Toledo Airport. Before she even realized what was hap- pening, she became a combination hostess and traffic manager for the Venus branch of Inter-Space Lines. She travels a great deal and does a vast amount of public relations work as well. I always knew she'd go far, but I never dreamed it would be as far as outer space. Rose Marie Wells is an expert with children. She has done more to make wholesome homes for children than perhaps any other one per- son. She is a consultant on home and family matters, putting special emphasis on what is best for each child. Her slogan is no child an orphan . By her tact, untiring energy, and perseverance, she has prac- tically made this come true in Toledo and vicinity. People come from all over the world to consult with her and to study her methods. Beverly Willson has turned her scientific ability to experiments with sound and color. She perfected a sound-color organ, which not only gives out music, but emits color also, color much like that of the rainbow. Now she is perfecting it so that by playing it, a musician may paint pictures at the same time. Already she has painted a simple land- scape with it. Much remains to be done, however, and I am looking forward to seeing what she can do in a few more years. Now that you know about our class of 1954, I must get back to radioing those letters, or the executive group won't get the replies in time to complete the plans for this year's meeting. I'm certainly thank- ful that we have such a complete file on our alumni. Remember how it was in 1954? Mrs. W. H. Shaver
