Jeanette Weiss—January 2 0, 1933 She entered our Class of ' 51 from Washington, too, way back when we were inexperienced Freshmen. She seems to know a lot about Ansonia's football team-- Hmmmm-------we wonder why1.1.1. Sally Ann Wisner--August 18, 1934 Entered the class in the Freshman year from Hancock, Michigan. She likes Fort Recovery quite well. Joyce Wright--August 18, 1933 Entered Jackson in the seventh grade from Dayton, Ohio's Wayne Township. We know she still is very much attached to the fair city, however1. 21

Class Poem We are the Class of '51. Our lives, as yet, remain unsung; Are silent, still, undone. Tender, separate destinies have only just begun. And how well we'll remember Jackson'. The dear old place where first we learned To really know each other; To live and laugh and love.......together. Scenes will come back to us from every year, And bring perhaps, a sigh or a tear. But so it goes'. Now, of course, we'll have a brief review Of every Senior heart so true: First comes Delores Armstrong, needless to say. Because her name begins with an A. She is tall and slender, likes to laugh and roller skate, And is never at a loss for words in a debate'. Joe Barnum, a stocky fellow with a dimple in his cheek. Just lives for the Friday night of every week. Studies for Joe are mostly just a bore; No brain work for him, except on the basketball floor. Phil Detamore's an all-round guy, When you greet the gang, his is the friendliest Hi. And although it's Marilyn he talks to in the hall--- All the girls (and fellas, too) are sure he's on the ball'. Barbara Edwards is a tall and pretty girl— Something about her makes boys' hearts whirl. But they might as well play it safe and sane. t For Barbara has eyes for no one but her Army lad, Duane. Gertie Howell, the artist of our class. Is a good-looking, as well as talented lass. She works in the lunch room (and we know she likes to eat) But never mind, Gertie, you still can t be beat. Verda Mae Hurley, who holds the class together. And sticks by us in all kinds of weather. Is really and truly one nice gal-- A swell president, and a wonderful pal'. Marilyn Jones is better known as Maralie or jonesie, And about that fact, we know we simply can't be bonesy’ . In fact, her popularity makes us think we, too, f Should have more than the one ordinary name we do. 23
