THEOPTIMIST 1929 We can't forget our Katter who labors at the A and P, Nor effeminate Arlie Spurlock .for a ladyls man is he. You all have heard of Arthur, who is abbreviated, His length is perhaps, diminished, but he's never under-rated. Of course, there is Roy the classes' great athlete, With Alma Hartke and Wilma, their friendship replete. For a jolly person, you must know our Bernadine, And Marguerite, albeit, sophisticated she may seem. Don't forget Cornelia Bretz, so quiet and unassuming, Nor that fellow, Gordon Parks, his future greatness looming. Gh yes, there is Grethel Kahle, she who is bizarre, And Cornelia Myers. who struts the best of all, by far. Then Pat Arensman, our tonsorial artist so blonde. And Edna DeBruler, of quiet and peace. she is fond. Too. there's John Hughes Clappe. whom they call a shiek. And Alma Mundy, that girl who is so gentle. mild. and meek. Yes. there's Edwin Katterhenry, who hails from off the farm, And too, there's Marjora Dufendach, who is so filled with charm. Then comes Amelia Reckelhoff, whom all of you must know. And deliberate Marvin Brown, easy-going and oh, so slow. Yes. we know Carl Holst, who drives a XVillys Knight, And Willis Randolph, the philosopher, who's always right. Then Albert Messmer, he who's slow but absolutely sure. And Orlan Lett, that studious fellow who knows his literature. Then comes Alma Faris. so quiet and so demure, And Lorna XVhitten. happy-go-lucky. to be sure. For a charming personality. you all know Lelah Black, Also, Ervin Spurlock, in sportsmanship he does not lack. Without fail we remember Ray Horney, the one and only cook, And too. we don't forget 'fBuck Maxey with his independent look. There's Mildred Milton, who writes to one fellow or another, And Penny that happy fellow, who's identified as her brother. We won't omit Claretta. who's worldly ambitions are so high, Nor Willie Sermersheim, who can, but will not tell a lie. And then comes the one whom they all term Harry , And last upon this roll, Edgar Gress, so loud and so merry. The register of these enterprising Seniors is now complete, May they always, as they did in H. H. S. all worldly obstructions meet. For their school career nears its successful close, And each one must a new character mold, as into the world he goes. Page Thirteen
