From Eleanor I learned that Darrell and Darwin owned a farm Just outside of Joice, where they had accumulated a tremedous amount of wealth. They didn't know what to do with It, but Darwin's wife had solved the problem by purchasing a lovely slimmer wonderland. It seems Darwin had married his favorite redhead but Darrell was making all the girls happy, he was a single man. Darwin had com- pleted one family trait, twins, they had the prettiest red hair in the whole United States, at least that's what Darwin claims. There was only one classmate I hadn't been able to find. Nobody seemed to know where Merlyn Helmdal was or what he was doing. When we arrived In Hawaii, we were given a oouple of days to go site-seeing so my girlfriend and I went to the beach to get a nice Hawaiian tan both days and of course there were always sailors around. The seoond day I was watching some of the people and there was one person that looked very familiar, for fact he looked Just like Merlyn but he was too tall for Mart. .The more I watched him the more he resembled Merlyn, It wasn't long before he saw me and came over to chat with me. He had recognized me and figured I might know what our classmates were doing. Merlyn had Joined the navy and said that he was going to make a career of the navy. He looked real nice in his uniform and the Hawaiian girls were always following him from place to place. It was time to get settled again but my furlough had really been profitable and I found that all my classmates were settled and doing a wonderful Job in life. Donald Ball Darrell Bang Lorna Haroldson CLASS SONQ (Tune-- White Christmas ) We've gone through four years of high sohool. We have at last reached this time. The tests were hard, grades were low. We can't complain, we can go. For now is the time that we must part. And into life's pathway we will start. CHORUS: We'll remember dear old Joioe High, And all those happy days we knew. Those dear teachers that taught us, and led us, and helped us. Along with classmates that were true. We'll remember dear old Joice High, And keep her memories in my heart. Through the year we never will part. With those memories of dear old Joioe High. Merlyn Helmdal Richard Abraham Lorna Haroldson This page LAKE MILLS LUMBER CO.

SENIOR POEM It was on a bright September morning That the class of '52 Stepped into the Jolce High School Their subject matter to do. Green we were in looks and actions. Green we seemed to teachers dear; Scared to death we looked about us. To see what all we had to fear. Pond memories came a creeping As we think of days of yore. Of our fun, our work, our giggling To be Freshmen Just once more. What was that that came a singing We opened wide our ears to hear, A wonderful class is found at last They're Sophomores this year. Two whole years we had spent together And the third did bring to view. Work and toll—and yet what good times We had in doing what Juniors do. When our Senior year we entered Great things we planned to do. We tried but like our predecessors Pound time for very few. Now new tasks are sure to greet us New attitudes will mold our ways. But we recall those attitudes That saw us through our Senior days. Tis' great fun to be a Senior Gueas we ought to know, Por this they really like you And think you're all the go. I wouldn't be a junior They think they know it all But when they look at Seniors They're feeling sorts small. The Sophomores are next in line I believe they're up to par, Por they have admiration strong for us. The wise old fools they are. The Prosh, though green are good as gold We'd trust them any day, Por when they meet a Senior, They smile and bow this way. So It's great fun to be a Senior Don't you think so tooT But, listen I I'll tell you a seoret, We don't know half they think we do.
