JUNIOR CLASS 57 “Freshies” in forty-eight We entered the open door. We sought all knowledge we could get. Who could ask for more? Mary Cote, a bright young lass, Our president became; Jean Usher, assisted her; Ruth Simpson and Mary Carpenter did the same. Our sponsors for their help we thank, Miss Coontz, Miss Gardner, and Miss Rest; They helped us play the game, so For them we did our best. As nineteen forty-nine rolled around, The officers we did select. A lad named Ray Johnson was made The president elect. Ruth Simpson and Mary Cote helped To lighten the heavy load. Jean Usher also did her part, Seeds of help she sowed. Then came the year of nineteen-fifty, We started things with a bang. Ray Johnson this time made president; Through his word we sang. Bill Parish was treasurer, And kept the minutes, too. The other members did their bit For each wanted to be true. Our sponsors had to work quite hard; Miss Coontz, Mr. Corradetti and Miss Dismeier did their parts, To them we give many thanks, From the bottom of our hearts. And though the year’s not ended, We all will surely “bawl”, If we don’t come back seniors, When school begins next fall.
