Assistant Treasurer. When the day is hotly quiet And the breeze seems not to blow One would think the sand was resting But you'll find this is not so. It is whispering softly whispering As it slowly moves along And for those who'1l stop and listen It will sing this hopeful song. Of prosperity and fortune On the thorny road of life Endless sunny days and moonlit nights and endless days of strife. How we'll always seek the bright side In whatever we might do And how we always will remember Le Our whole life through. Yes, it always whispers to us IES Ya y if ll E' CLASS SONG nox High As the days do come and go When our teachers and our classmates Studied hard to learn and know When we Seniors roamed the building Happy students searched for fun And now everything is ended As we exit one by one. How we left our books and papers For the class of fifty-seven And our classmates we have left them too But we'll know them as they've been If you want to learn our secrets Wander thru this quiet land and I'm sure you'll hear the story of the Shifting, Whispering sands.

Our meeting was at Lenox and when we returned, You can guess we were surprised at what we learned. Wally Tanner is a great engineer, Who designed the road that brought us here. Ann Pleus is a teacher fine, Phys Ed and Riding are her line. Carl Butle? owns a ranch out west, We've heard tell it is the best. Nancy Cella is a nurse in the Navy now, She nurses there from stern to bow. Bob Coakleyif a coach at Notre Dame, His basketball teams have brought him fame. Cyntbia Glander is a drafting engineer, For abstract designs she is sought far and near. Dabbling in big business as a financial tycoon, Success for Ronnie Halpin will occur very soon. In her own little gift shop in the heart of town, Sue Been' creations win renown. When choosing our next President to head our nation, Alan Dewey we'll elect to hold the position. An aristocratic parent from a glamorous home, Ioan Rnnrer, the heiress, o'er the nation does roam. Bob Clere is a chemist fine and bold, The potion for bald heads he does hold. Our Leo Turner pilots jets, But on fast horses he always bets. Bob Miller is owner of a gasoline station, They say his service is best in the nation. Hngb Sbepardfon is now a Marine Captain, In his spare time he goes Hshing and trappin'. Patti Sbepardfon is secretary for the Marx's trio, She travels with them from Canada to Rio. Ronny Zink is the leader of the Hill Billy Five, Every night of the week they play jazz and Jive. 18 5 v K E- 'I' Egif 3 as W-, I un ,311 3 Alan Dewey , 1' 1.

Farnon With Sincere Appreciation to Our ADVERTISERS and PATRONS Who Helped Make This Yearbook A Financial Success 47 VVVE f is 04 cgcgoofo An inquiring person passing Some high school students one day, Stopped them and asked the question, What is a high school, pray? The students were heard to answer, It's a building of wood and brick With classrooms, teachers and pupils And many a volume thick. But I've heard so much about it, The inquisitor did reply, Is there nothing more to tell me Than the things that meet the eye? The companions of my story Then regarded him thoughtfully, And one was quick to answer But careless, as you shall see. n It's four long years of studying Some things you'd rather miss, While unsympathetic teachers Are scolding for that and this. It's learning nothing that's useful, The same old routine all the time, Or writing notes out of boredom CWhich is often considered a crimej , But the other thought more deeply And answered in words like this, A high school means years of study You wouldn't want to miss. It's a preparation, a proving ground, Striving earnestly to learn. It's working together, giving your best, And gaining friends in return. It's the pep of the town, the fun of sports And building a level head, A spirit that's part of a person's life, That lives on in the days ahead. Then wisely the passer-by replied, From what you've said I like it T hat the answer depends upon each one. A high school is what you make it. Well might we heed that observation. 'Tis true of schools and lives. The things one reaps depends upon The things toward which he strives Yes, every one in high school Can build his school or break it. So work together to build the best, For a high school is what you make it! NA'noNAL ECHO 48 nn?
