And what to their wondering eyes should appear, But nine of their teachers with words of good cheer. With a little old driver with plenty of speed, I knew in a minute it must be Prof Reed. They spurred on the seniors to glory and fame, To be more specific I'l1 call them by name: They're Starosta, Blake, Nickell, Pangrac, and Horn, Higgenbotham, Yarnell, Carruth, and Moore. A wink of their eye and a twist of their head, Soon gave them to know they had nothing to dread. I'll waste no more time but go straight to my work, And give their best wishes to each Jane and each Jerk. But you'll hear them exclaim as they leave with a sigh, Best wishes to all, and to all a good bye. by Lorraine Forester 55 But we'll ne'er forget each and every friend. 3 I CLASS HHSTORY In the fall of l954,twenty-eight happy children started their eventful school career under the direction of Miss Callie Mills.
