LA T WILL A D TE TAME T We, the Class of '47, As we bid you all good-by Leave behind these memories Of our stay at Kenmore High. One well-used trombone is left By that maestro Skip Board, And with it Martha Steward leaves A well-trained chord. To girls who have unruly hair With which they have to cope, Lois Neufer leaves a disphan Full of sudsy soap. That great fellow Donald Ross, VVho is noted for his humor, Says he'll leave his famous column, But it may be just a rumor. Sue Reissig leaves an earring To anyone today Who has a wagon large enough To carry it away. Norma McAfee and Garland Tomlin Have said that they would rent To any yank that's going South A genuine Southern accent. Dime Dime McClatchey leaves the memories Of the baskets he has scored, And Paul Massing leaves a fire hydrant Wrapped in the bumper of his Ford. Wally Brinson was thinking of our hot dogs Because without mustard, they don't go far So he notified the cafeteria That he was leaving us a jar. Jean Lillico leaves closets full of clothes When she collects them all, And a great amount of talent ls left by Lois Ann Hall. Jean Kreienberg leaves to Ruthy Penfold One never ending conversation While Ridy Coates and Eddie Fleishmann Leave their matchless combination. Betty May Krauss leaves a size seven dress To any girl that it fits, Leo Seibold leaves dark glasses to the eyes That have suffered from his flashy outfits. Ginny Wells and Rita Gruntz So you can achieve their fame, Will leave behind a basket To help you win your game. The men behind the beards Are out the window gazers We find that Burns and Wilson Have left two unused razors. Some have trouble with their men, Butch King will leave hers some time, And Molly Dillon will help you rope a man By leaving a bit of her line. Markarian, Butler, and Eddie Smith, Who are known as the Jolly Boys Leave a collection of corney jokes And quite a bit of noise. That bobby pin twirler, Shirley Young, Leaves a lock of her famous hair, While that ambitious gal, Jean Tutton, Leaves a speck of her sophisticated air. A well-beaten drumstick is left by Jerry Reetz Who at beating the drums is a whiz, And Shirley O'Shea leaves a touch of her Irish For Herman Seifried's daughter-Katy, that is Those Hoods, Marge and Malcolm Leave their twin marks that can't be beat, While Valentine Alexander leaves his Unrehearsed kiss from Quality Street. That amazing gal Timby, While idling over cokes, Leaves her ability to restrain her laughter At her friends comical jokes. You're wondering what Flaherty and Lewis will donate, l suppose- It's the script to the Senior Carnival Where they mixed up Black Nosef' A hit of confusion is left by Joan Wing Who's constantly in a hubbub And Sally Peard leaves to those who would join One membership to that great PK club. Now we hope you'll remember us, We wish you health and prosperity. So we submit this last will to you. Please preserve it for posterity. Thiwtwcri UWM 16

Dear Malcolm: I met Phyl Briggs yesterday in Marion Boston's Dress Shoppe. She told me that she saw Teen Age Stylist Phyliss Duquette at the world's premier of Nicotine Street, Cplaywright Fred Rowland's version of Tobacco Road. The stars of the play were those two famous Academy Award Winners, Marion Owen and Dick Cheliusj Phyl also mentioned that the Varga Model, Dottie Love, had received an invitation to the Class of '47 reunion. Since I wasn't sure of this gossip, I stopped in Barbara Bodenbender's Beauty Salon and talked to Eileen Johnson, the head beautician, about the rumor. Miss johnson told me that Marge Van Allen, Society Writer for The New York Times, had stopped in to tell her there was to be a reunion. On my way home, I met Midge Harding in front of Sal Kitson's Hat Shoppe on Fifth Avenue. Midge said that she just left Dick Blanc's night club, The Gilded Goose, where she has the honor of being keeper of the paltry dollars. I told her about the reunion and she said she would inform bartender Frank Wilkins of the big event. Upon turning down my street, I came in contact with Ginny Wells. Miss Wells, a star forward for the Boston Beauties, is in town for the National Womens' A. A. U. Championship Basketball Tournament to be held in Madison Square Garden. I would like reservations for Miss Wells, my husband, and me. Thank you, Mas. T. NICHKJLSON Clnkyj My dear friend: To be able to come back to a city not infiltrated by strikers will be a great thing. In Millerstone, the city workers, including the staff of Library Administrator Thomas Crage and the teachers of Plache Memorial School, have not shown up for their jobs for more than a week now. The injunction which Mayor Blum sought from Governor Walton was declared illegal by the courts, and CIO President Garland Tomlin sits back in his chair wait- ing for an increased budget in the city council. Again, I am happy to come to Kenmore to observe the peace and order preserved by your Police Chief Jim Alexander. With kind regards, CMissJ JEAN TUTTTON Hello, you wonderful people! I received your invitation to the Class of '47 reunion at the party given at the home of my eighth boy friend Uim Kellyl. That was in Chicago. I have picked up two new acquaintances since then. My ninth victim, Mike Donnelly Cof the Donnelly-Seelbach Doo-Dad Co.l would like reser' vations for ten. I will not be able to attend this fine affair in as much as my tenth beau fDr. Robert Drasgowj and I are parting. At the present time, I am friendly with Ronald Fazekas, President of the Fuzzy Tire Co. I'm so sorry I cannot join the fun. Love, ANONYMOUS P.S. CU Would you please contact my former associates as they may also wish to attend? l. Mr. Robert Grimmer-Long Beach, Ontario. COwner of sand pit No. 692. 2. I've forgotten who he was. Couldn't have been very important. 3. Mr. Ronald McMahon--Radar City, New York. Cjack Benny's vocalist.j -I. Mr. John Hill-Paducah, Kentucky CTobacco auction- eerl. 5. Mr. Cliff Hansen-The Moon Clnterplanetary Com- missionj. 6. Mr. Bill MacDonald-Manangua, Nicaragua CBanana salesmanj. 7. Dr. Anthony CI.iottil-Miami, Florida CLove analystj. P.S. f2J My new address is on the envelope-Hollywood, of course! Gentlemen: Inasmuch as I am living in Alaska, you probably think that I have not seen any of my old friends for some time. Oddly enough, I am not the only one way up here from our Class of '47. In Juneau, I saluted my old classmate Vernon Abel, the governor of the state. He, in turn, led me to other notables-namely Trudy Kraus, Red Cross field director, Vice-President Alan Loesser of the Harring- ton Gold Mines, Inc.g and the presidents of the two textile industries-Jane Wark and Pat Hammond. If you have not heard about the potentialities of Alaska lately, you might read Jean Plumb's book, The Romance of Alaska. It describes the work of Dave Muir and John Mowatt in the field of political, economic and social betterment for the territory. Their achievements are now being studied by Russian experts for use in the Siberian communities. Be sure to count on me for a reservation.

MOULDER OF DE TI Hail to thee, Shaper of youth, moulder of destiny! We stand prepared to leaveg With expectant eyes turned toward the futureg With yearning hearts remembering the past. The past that was Hlled with anticipation Of the great things yet to comeg Fraught with desire, Yet sometimes wounded by failure. Failure that left us a little older, And with a bit more wisdom To be used in guarding against other failures. We stand prepared to leave, With expectant eyes turned toward the future, With yearning hearts remembering the past. Hearts filled with gratitude Toward our guides who, in friendship, Reached out helping hands When imperception caused us to tarry Beside the torturous road of learning. Hail to theee, Shaper of youth, moulder of destiny! Hail to thee-hail and farewell! BETTY ARTHUR 17
