JL •f-j MEMORIES DEAR (Continued from preceding page) There’re Wesley, Warren and also James And their participation in the various games. In fact, when all is said and done I’ll miss each and everyone. But besides my classmates, both short and tall, I’ll always remember the scenes in the hall; I’ll never forget the three o’clock bell When out of door’s we’d rush pell mell. There’re the Home Ec. party and the senior play, And Dr. Lyles’ party and county track day, The athletic banquet, the senior picnic, And a prayer in our hearts we wouldn’t get sick. When years and years have all passed by And one of our annuals I happen to spy, I will think of old times and utter a sigh- Homesick for pals of Montvale Hi. —Mary Jane Saunders Vj LAST REQUESTS (Continued) Clifton Ward passes on his leadership to Jim Billy Obenshain.

Memories Dear Parents, teachers, classmates, friends, Again another school year ends! Again a senior class is here— Sorry that graduation is near. So, as we, the class of forty-two Bid you now a last adieu, To you I shall do my best to impart Some memories dear to each senior’s heart. In just a little while we’ll say good-by To our grand old school, old Montvale Hi, But in our hearts we’ll cherish each memory dear, Of all that we did in our senior year. We’re all proud to be before you tonight Knowing that we’ve won our fight. That now we may receive our reward For all these years we’ve worked so hard Yet, work alone was not our share— For many a day we were free from care, Many a happy hour our class Has spent in sports so soon to pass. “Classmates, I’ll miss you all, I know; Our high school days all have to go. I’ll miss Junior Metz, our class president; And then our good sport, Mae Bramlett. I shall never forget Bobby, Doris or Frances, Our school parties, picnics, plays, and dances. There’re Marvin, Ellen, Dot, and Lucille And the excitement now that all of us feel. There’re Billy, Jessie, Gertrude, and Ed.- And the amusing things that each one said. There’re David, Hildry, Clifton, and Buddy Who tell of the lessons they had to study. There’re Virginia, Ada, Ambrose, and Geraldine And the sturdy athletics on the baseball team, Then there’re Catherine, our high school queen, Gaynelle, Evelyn, and Maxine. A pal like Hanna is hard to find And one like Jane of so bright a mind. And where can we find another Kirk Who never has been known to shirk? I’ll miss our good sport Ruby Key And Edley with her winning way. Then there’re Edith, our Senior tease, Mary Jane, Mildred, and Louise. (Continued on following page)
