.s14f'a? 7fA'4f0'?y In September 1936, six of us enrolled in the first grade and started the struggle on our way together through grmmm 'Sch0O1- In the 7th grade, 1942, we acquired two classmates from outside schools. We traveled on, and in l943, our eighth.year, we picked up three others who have stayed with.us ever since. Our Graduation Exercise from the 8th grade was cer- tainly a great affair Cto us, and we shall remember it always. As we wandered into High School, we acquired two others, and in the meantime lost three of our class- mates to Snyder. Before we could realize that our first year in High School was finished, the school bells rang to tell us that another year was over, and we had become Sophomores. That year only one joined our happy group but the following year, our Junior year, we gained another classmate so our class was not so small after all. Our Junior year we had to work and save for the Junior-Senior banquet that occurred in May. The banquet, which was formal, was a big success. The year of 1947 finds us Seniors, and we are proud to state that although there are only sixteen of us, we have six girls and three boys on the basketball team. To sum it up, we have had many years of fun together at dear old Ira, and we are planning to have minys more. , I . Class Reporter,

mfs? grew BUCK is the favorite of our class, and also a very good sport, He has blond hair and very blue eyes, and is an ace on the basketball court. JUANITA, the girl with the long, blond hair, and an athlete like her brothers, With gray-green eyes and a laughing mouth, she is really quite different fran others Now CAROLINE'S nice in her own sweet way, as a class favorite she's a cutie, With big, green eyes and fluttering lashes, you'll agree she is our beauty. BILLIE JEAN DAVIS, our carnival queen, is the small one of our lot, With really brown eyes and a very sweet smile, there's nothing she hasn't got. ODELL is the newest one in our class, with black hair and very brown eyes, He is really smart and a very good sport, he's tops with the girls and the guys. BILLIE JO is the girl with all the class, personality, poise, and looks, An expert player in all her sports, and a genius in all her books. I guess you've heard of BILLIE JOYCE, about her recitation, To say her poetry am' time, is to her like recreation. There is a quiet one in our class, I know you all have seen, She studies hard and does her work, yes, it is WINNIE JEAN. But have you thought of BETTY, a girl who studies hard? Who is a friend to everyone, in basketball - a guard. I know you've thought of TOMMY, who's always on the spot, Hia favorite sport is basketball, he has never missed a shot. Yes, there is someone in our class with his lessons up to par, The teachers' delight and everyone's friend, it's CALVIN we're rooting for. And now we come to WANDA, the one who makes the grades, Who has brown hair and light blue eyes, and a smile that never fades. Oh, have you seen our annual with pictures that look the smartest? The one that drew them is no one else than KENNETH, the seniors' artist. I have no ability to be a poet, and I know that you can guess it, So I will close by saying this: I never will possess it.
