CLASS HISTORY A few years ago, we wondered if this year would ever reach us. Now that it is he re, we can hardly believe our eyes. We have finally come to the closing year of our school life, Twelve long years ago we were just beginning our drudgery, as we called it. Our mothers scrubbed our faces until they shone and neatly combed our hair, then kissed us good-bye and off we trotted to school. The girls who started to school that day and are still with us are as follows: Doro- thy Thompson, La Verne Diggs, Donna Brown, Peggy Zurwell, Lola Harshrnan, June Kel- ler, Joan Melody, and Jean Arthur. The boys who are still here are the following: Dick Steele, Jim Clark, Bud Stegall, Charles Andy, Virgil Petry, Jim Juday, Howard Ford, Bob Bottoms, Bob Copenhefer, and Bill Markley. In the fifth grade we acquired a new girl. Her name was Marilyn Mann. She moved here from Richmond, Indiana. In the sixth grade we got another new girl. Her name was Martha Eales. She was also from Richmond, Indiana. Then in the eighth grade came another girl. She came to our gang from Hollans- burg. Her name was Berneice Martin. We skipped a few years then until our Junior year. Here a wind blew in from way out we st. It brought us Lawrence Nickelson, from Tucson, Arizona, Then last, but not least, was at the beginning of this final year. We made room for another boy, Leland Federico. He joined our group from Richmond, Indiana. ' This about sums up our twelve years of schooling that we dreaded so much, but, next year when the school bell rings and we see the new first graders going to school with their shiny faces and neatly combed hair, we'll all be wishing we were in their shoes again, just for a day. DAY TON JAUNT It was a cold, foggy day on October 26, when twenty-three excited Seniors started for Dayton. This had been the ,day we had been looking forward to for so many years. Now, finally it had come. The first load to start in this heavy fog was chauffeured by Howard Ford. His pas- sengers were Bob Copenhefer, Dick Steele, Bob Bottoms, Virgil Petry, and Jim Clark. Following this carload were Jim Juday and Leland Federico, a Crosley-carload. The next group to leave was Bud Stegall and his passengers. They were Lawrence Nickelson, Bill Markley, Charles Andy, June Keller, and Joan Melody. These three groups left about 8:30 so they would be at the studio in time for our first appointment, which was at 9:30, Later on, Dorothy Thompson left with her gang, This group was scheduled for the 10530 appointment we had. Her passengers included Peggy Zurwell, Donna Brown, La Verne Diggs, Lola Jane Harshman, and Martha Eales. The last group to leave was Miss Kemp's crowd. They included Marilyn Mann, Berneice Martin, and Jean Arthur. After we had our pictures taken, some of us went shopping. Others just looked over the town, Dinner was eaten and then the boys went to the Mayfair Theater. Some of the girls went to a picture show, while Miss Kemp and the rest of the girls went to the Sunny- Side Up Radio Show. They had great fun, especially La Verne and Lola, being contestants, Lola was successful in winning one dollar and La Verne won the jack pot of four dollars. 17

ONE MAN'S TROUBLES Once there was a Harsh man, Whose name was Handy Andy, He lived in Federico Town, A village fine and dandy. He bought a Steele jalopy A Brown and orange Ford. He'd take a drive to A-Eur Ville Whenever he got bored. One day he went to Arthur Ville And thinking he was clever Home he came - Tied to his Ford Was a fat new Copen hefer As he was driving along the road His Ford got out of control He jerked and swerved and skidded Then rammed a telephone pole: Poor Handy was badly shaken up As for the cow you can guess And to say the least - the colored Ford Was one big healthy messff So up he got - and home did trot His cow with him was bringing He felt so happy that Halfway home, he started in a-singing. This Mann and cow became good friends And Handy named her Juday. Although her Keller was kinda queer She was christened The Village Cutie. Now, help was needed to care for the cow. Topsy Bottoms was given the task. I can only pay you in Nickel son, Is that too much to ask? N ot if you pay me enough of them I think the wage will be swell. So Handy agreed and added this chore You can also, Diggs Zur well. Then Topsy neglected Juday next day While he was diggin' and sweatin' Juday got sick, Dock Markley was called And Nurse Thompson was stewin' and frettin', All of their efforts-alas-were in vain Juday died with a Melody singing. They had the funeral the very next day At eve when the cow-bells were ringing. Undertaker Petry made all the plans I-Ie knew Handy's fondness for Juday So had inscribed on a Clark monurnent, In Memory of the Village Cutie. The master was all broken up over this For a man can't help how he feels So he decided to take a trip to the sea And visit the Martins, Stegalls fSeagullsJ and Eales Now Handy's away on a nice long trip And Miss Kemp is keeping his house. So I'll travel on to my hole in the wall For you see, I'm a bad little mousef . . .By Joan Melody. 18
