CLASS POEM Now we the class of '52 Want to introduce to you The members of our intelligent class, Individually, each boy and lass. To start with, now, there's Bob Arkwright, Who's busy keeping his pranks Olll of sight. Next is Beverly, vivacious with dash, Who'd cut up a rug at the bat of an eyelash. Our tall, dark hero, john, is meek, But when passing by the girls go weak. joan is our quiet studious lass, But we can't disturb Arlin, who's sleeping in Now Bettie Mauch, although it's no crime, ls laughing almost all the time, A swish in the halls and janet is past. To get all the work done she has to be fast. With janet and Bettie, Esther is there. The trio is together everywhere. Carole is possessor of all the fine traits, Intelligence, prettiness, poise, and dates. Bill to be a radio announcer has made his choice. So while sipping your coffee, you'll hear his voice. Nancy, in shorthand, was really a brain. What's Nancy have down? was Mrs, Burge's refrain. Nettie's artistic ability is sure to please: So are her letters to the fellows overseas. Virginia and Ruth are two chums, who are quiet, But when Gertrude's around. there's really a riot. For leadership, to jack we often resort, class. When he's not looking out the window at the weather report. Eileen is a carnival, as carefree as a breeze, Mid jokes and laughs peace comes when she leaves. Hunter Dan Groom, dead shot with a gun, Once shot at some crows: missed everyone. A likeable soul, a sunny gring Walter has friendliness that glows from within. Chuck was popular, but filled with remorse, When he started that joke about poor Truman's horse A class is in session, with silence about: Till one of john Morey's laughs roar out. That Laura is pretty would bring some comment, Oh! Yes! But she's also full of devilment, Roderick is quietg and that's a truthful fact. But he's the only boy around. who owns a Cadillac. To tease poor Thayer we were surely bound. We had so much fun twisting his words around. Doris is studious, a trite friend indeed: Through thick and through thin she could supply every Although Marjorie isn't a bookworm in looks, She worked in the library among the books. juniors father would turn gray To see him peel his Chevrolet. If you think mischief is Lester's chief delight Along with farming, you're absolutely right. Now Dorothy is a dreamer. her mind miles away, And where she is going she couldn't say. But now we are leaving, we've done our best, Some to go East, South, North, or West. They say that all nice things in a lifetime ends, So good-bye to the high school and to our friends.

CLASS HISTORY Our first day of school-a big day in anyone's life. The school building was so big, the halls so noisy, and the teachers so much to be feared. As we entered the room and our hearts finally began to thaw, we became accustomed to the routine which was to become so familiar to us through our twelve years of school. We did not enter the first grade with our full crew aboardg however, there are several classmates who have been together for twelve years. In the first grade, our class had a merry-go4round. Everyone had a lot of fun on it, even the ones who received torn dresses or trousers. In the second grade we were favored with a little house, which we built with some outside help. The girls made original wallpaper and did other decorating. The boys did the more strenuous work. It was during this year that we were honored with the appearance of john Burkholder, who was to stick with us, and lead us through our last year. One of the most outstanding events in the third grade, was our pet show. Almost everyone brought an animal, and the pupils from other grades enjoyed it nearly as much as we did. After three years of school, things began to seein routine, and we didn't notice much difference until we reached Junior High. During this time, however, we made several additions to our class. ln the fourth year, Laura Spencer and Charles janosik joined us. ln the fifth grade Doris Clingerman became a part of our family, and Nettie Davis in the sixth. Our class was no exception to the rule when it came to being awed by the idea of changing classes. lt was a novel idea and we enjoyed it. jack Miller and Bill Collins both came to Lima to help fill in the empty spaces. lt was in the eighth grade that we really began to look forward to high school, lt was nearly our turn to make our school famous. Thayer Bro-wn came this year: decided he liked itg and stayed on to the finish. Finally we were in high school. Will wonders never cease? This was our first year to join the musical groups and the various activities. Our So homore ea.r was the one durin 'which we sold ma azines. How could P Y . 3 . . . 3 anybody forget that! We were really in the swing of things now, and were mak- ing our places permanent. We entered our unior ear full of lans and activities. After buildin u . . . V P . g . P our Ireasury with several successful paper drives, a class play, and a skating party, we decided to spend a little of it. We sponsored a banquet for the Seniors. Our ex Jenses were realized man times over in en'o ment. Y J Y We were really moving up now. The cafeteria line wasn't so far ahead any IIIOYC. . Eileen Riley and Esther Osterling made their last minute appearances at this tlllle. Our class would have been complete in our last year had not Maxine Smith and Richard Bartholomew left us to be married. Although we miss them, we are filling in the gap nicely. At last our school days were at an end, and for the first time since we entered the first grade, we felt lost in North Lima High School. We had learned what there was to learn, and were setting out to complete our lives. Our school has made a deep impression on us and we shall not soon forget it. Carole june Roller PAGE NINETEEN
