by Richard Micheiini Barbara Turner lie tlie It was dark, all dark, when the word came ' round. And the ocean wailed with a mournful sound. And the world seemed hollow and the sky was cold As the rain fell harder and the rivers rose. It had rained ten days and no end seemed near. But strangest of all was the lack of fear. For the whole countryside seemed unconcerned Though the ocean filled and the rivers churned. Not a voice of warning was anywhere heard; Said everyone, scoffing, Disaster? Absurd! Now in Marshfield High for years had been A haunting spirit who ' d never been seen. Now what was he doing? Why was he there? On this hangs a story; read on if you dare. It was close to the spring of ' 53 When the Senior Class, most peculiarly. Commissioned this spirit to haunt and to roam All the rooms, aisles, and corridors they had once known. And while in its roamings to guard first and last The interests and honor of the ' 53 class. Now the spirit thought as he gazed at the rain, It ' s the end of the world; it ' s all been in vain. I saw Noah run as the first deluge came. And take it from me all the signs are the same. Then thought he: The seniors, the ' 53 class. It ' s my job to save them; I ' ve got to act fast. I ' ve got it, the answer, we ' ll all just embark On the one thing that ' ll hold us; we ' ll build us an ark! So out went the word to all forty-one. That the end of the world was certain to come. That they must all gather at old M. H. S. And there build an ark to dissolve their distress. First came the engineers — electrical brand: Abbruzzese, Taylor, Micheiini, and Rand. Where is it. I ' ll wire it, said Willy at once. Hold on, cried Steve Taylor, This job ' ll take months. I don ' t even see it, said Dick to the bunch, Ho-hum, murmured Kenny, Let ' s knock off for lunch. Yet in a few days they began to improve. And things on the ark really started to move. It was then that she came with all her crew. After much wishing it finally came true. Our class nurse better known as Gwen, Counting the dog, she has children, ten! The whole ark was shaken; some even grabbed rocks When in walked Dave Rich, who now managed the Sox. Here, said the spirit, you ' ll be held in esteem. For who else can manage the shuffleboard team? Dave Totten pulls up in his Caddy slick. He found a good way to make money quick. The card tricks he learned during his spare time Are convenient for making a very fast dime. Now think of the joy when there did arrive Four to keep reading and writing alive; Callahan, Damon, Harrington, Hatch, Teachers incomparable, all without match. Pauline is rugged, a grammar school girl; Marcia says teaching ' s a glamorous whirl; Debbie ' s been dodging her kids ' dirty looks; Joanne is restless; she wants to write books. Who comes from the halls of old M. H. S.? Mr. Reed and Miss Miller would be my guess. But no, it can ' t be, they left long ago. For when we all went, they could stand it no mo ' It ' s the elite Miss Sinnott and Prof. McAleer, English and chem are still tough, never fear. On the next day a loud scream in the sky Awakened the spirit with a tremulous cry. Who is it? he bellowed, Are you of the class? No answer was given; just two specks shot past. In a minute or so, though, two jets had come down. And up to the ark staggered Hubbard and Downs. Each was a jet man of caliber rare. But who in the Air Force had made them a pair? Look! Who ' s in the back seat of Jack Hubbard ' s plane. Clutching a camera and still taking aim. To capture on film the soon-to-come doom? It ' s big-time photographer, Richard Magoun. Here ' s Dotty and she ' s no longer so quiet. Why just the other day she caused quite a riot. She got hold of a book by Barb, Nancy, and Fran, A thr iller for brides called. Now Get Your Man. Among the celebrities present we find Authors of the intellectual kind. We read in the paper — front page, no less. That Barb and Dick ' s book is a big success. For struggling students it ' s proven a gem. Entitled Are Formulas Really Needed in Chem? Then with a racket that deadened the brain. Came two old jalopies dragging down Main. Oh, no, screamed the spirit, not them on the ark! But natch, said Bill Harvey, Let ' s race! said Dan Clark. And so all discovered it really was they. Two big-time stock racers, receiving top pay. There was no surprise; it seemed rather true That things done in school are done in life, too. In from Detroit came the head of G.M., Jon Chandler, who rose from the ranks of grease men. But why, wondered all, if it ' s autos he likes. Does he never ride anything other than bikes? We ' re expecting our space cadet here soon. Of course, you realize the distance from the moon. When Larry ' s not flying from the church house steeple.
