GLORIA POTTER is seen every day Pedaling her bike down Lincolnway. ISH is a quiet bashful guy, But on the baseball diamond he sure is spry! ROLAND, who has a slick little curl. Is always seen with a different girl. CORDELL , who gives us plenty of laughs, Is liked by teachers and all the class. SPONNIE'S ambition is to be An aviator, that’s plain to see. EDITH and DOREENE-in Home Ec. shine, Housekeeping's sure to be their line. Now, LOIS SHEELY'S a girl for you, She can mend a sock or cook a stew. And BETTY WITMER is good at pies, Or writing letters, or making eyes MARY CRABBS really doesn’t crab at all, She 8 a pleasant gal for whom folks fall. LORETTA BAKER is the class's clown, She's also funny in Abbottstown. EVAN BUTLER will someday be A famous disc .lockey, just wait and see GLENN HOOVER'S a boy who is small in size When caught in a trick, he only looks wise'. In piano playing, BETTY takes the lead, On any keyboard we know she'll succeed. Our saxaphone player is known as JANE , Another as good would be hard to name. In fond remembrance and sad adieu, We say Goodby to all of you And hope we've established in foregoing lines Some memories of us and of our good times.

CLASS PROPHECY Buzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-zI Buzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z: Well, Ifm coming! Buzz-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z! Oh, wait a minute...hello, WHO?? Mary Crabbs! Are- a-a- what a- where- (silence)--why, of course I'm home, all right, vou come straight here! Okey, good-by. Several minutes later— Knock, Kn— MARY! LOUISE! Naturally, they both talk at once, embrace each other, ask questions, and —well, just the usual things women do when they first meet after 35 years! Seems Louise has found that Mary has Just completed another triD around the world and Mary has already met Lduise's eight off-spring......let's eaves- drop, wanta'? Do you ever see any of the old gang, Louise? You know, I'm totally unin- formed about them all. Oh yes, you see Janet Kime, as you remember her name, lives on the farm next here; our children play together most of the time, then there is BStfcy Witmer; of course you know, both 3he and Janet were married right after they were graduated from N.O.H.S., and Betty has seven sweet children. You know, Louise, all the years Don Diehl arid Jack Harner were stars of their professional basketball teams, I followed their travels and victories in the papers. They even made headlines in foreign countries. Ish Harman also was in the limelight so long as he played baseball with the Yankees. I know, Mary, they were all tops! How about Wilbur Hildebrandc too— one of the most wealthy and successful men in the world. Louise, why don't you get your MEMENTO, then we can really reminisce? Swell idea, I'll get it; we'll be sure not to miss anyone this way. Oh, no one was surprised when Nancy Harner married that underclassman at school and they built a house right next to Mary Adams and her husband's. They have been together ever since. Louise, I'm sure that everyone who ever heard Jeanne Altland sing, knew she'd be the successful singer she is, and Norman's fame as a tenor was not unexpected either. That's right Mary; say, did I tell you, Edith Kinneman still designs all the dresses for the first ladies of the land, and I've heard that the presi- dent's wife won't ever let anyone style her hair except Doreene Clark! My,it must be wonderful to have such positions—but what about Peg Alwine and Loretta Baker?
