Say, this town is really booming, isn’t it? There’s Kirschner’s Nursing School and coming out the door is the co-owner of the school, Emma Rummel. Who is that lady coming down the street with a smile on her face and singing? Yes, that’s our carefree and happy Cora Boring. Whose children are those, Cora? Well, well, con- gratulations, my dear, and God Bless the little ones too. Well, that just about takes care of our classmates except for one, Anna Grace Killen. Oh, yes, now I remember. She was that cute secretary we talked with back in N.F.H.S. Yes, that’s she, the one who told us she was getting paid for being a secretary since they built the new school. Well, back to our plane to head for New Florence. Let’s journey up front to talk to the pilot of this crate before he lands. Listen, what’s that? Pilot to control tower, pilot requesting landing. 'Control tower to pilot. Come in, Bennett, the runway’s clear.” Class Song Now, listen all you teachers, schoolmates, friends and parents too While we sing a song to you, we sing it though we're blue. Here’s a little ditty that the Seniors have composed While the cover on their book of high school days is gently closed. Chorus — Oh, you can have it, we don't want it, it's too much for us. Sometimes it made us cuss, we really raised a fuss. But you can have it, we don't want it, finally we’re through. Here's detention, books, and tests, we leave them all to you. We got detention, we got scolded. We got together and this plan unfolded — Chorus — Could we figure square root? No! No! No! No! No! And do we give a hoot? No! No1 No! No! No! We're glad that we graduate In nineteen forty eight. Could we possibly very sorry be? No! No! No! No! No! 21

Juniors Buzz-zz-zz! So sounded the first school bell last September, but apparently none of the Juniors had heard it for there were only five present. However, when the second bell rang, the rest of the Juniors came running (though not too enthusiastically) from all directions, each trying to obtain a back seat, and as usual a few were late. When the roll was called, twenty-four stu- dents answered present, much to the surprise of all, for two members had been lost during the summer. But by surveying the room, two former Johnstown students were discovered. As the days passed, football became the most important topic of conversation since eleven Juniors were members of the squad. Thelma Killen represented the class as cheerleader. Because they needed some extra money for the prom in April, the class had to find some ways of raising funds. With this in mind the group sponsored a variety show in December and the annual class play in April Mr. Marley, as adviser, guided the class through 1947- 48 by his helpful suggestions.
