x They received their diplomas with tears in their eyes And sadly but firmly, they said their goodbyes Yes, this is the end, they must come here no more On Gram er school days they have shut the door. Their summer vacation, boy, did they have fun But soon their Freshmen year was begun The 26 Freshmen were certainly green And did they ever think initiation was mean... Then they had their chance to be torturous too And they thought up the nAwfullestu things to do For they were big Sophomores, and it was their turn To make the nGreen Freshmen' howl and squirm. Revenge was sweet, but sweeter still Was their Junior year, at the top of the hill With proms, and dances, and hi-school romances, And banquets, and plays, were they in a daze! With class pins and rings, and all sorts of things And meetings and beatings and fun was begun With breeze staffs and good laughs, and hi-lights and Big fights, and teachers, an preachers, and money to Wow, This was the way their year was to end. And now that that's over, they're way up on top And this year is spinning by just like a top The first thing they did was to give their play That they'1l always remember, each year day by day. They went to the Junior's Prom, had some nice hours, But they know it wasn't as much fun as theirs. With half the year gone, there's not much more to do But they've still got a banquet, and a Senior Ball too. And than graduation, how long they've awaited The day their diplomas would finally be dated-- They thought they'd be happy, instead they are blue For they hate the thought of leaving you But they're really not leaving, for deep in their hearts, Fond memories will linger, they'll never depart, ll H U ll 01711 l EEEEI CIT? 17 F- 'V Q 1 3, gain lend.

WWW In the fall of 1935 59 children with eyes so wide Fearfully climbed the steps so high To begin their school career by and by. I 11!l!!: VU First the salt box caught their eye Until a teacher wandered by, They liked them both about the same One, educationg the other, a game. As they were approaching the WGreat 2nd grade'. They found that some changes were now being made With 7 MSW classmates, they really felt fine But now there's just l to graduate this time. The 3rd and 4th grades were really a grind But none of them had to be left behind They followed the usual school routine Boy, they were the best class, that ever was seen, But when they were 5th graders, did they ever strut-- They were then nupper graders' and out of the rut, And then came the 6th grade, when they had all their fun, And not too long after the 7th begun, They could hardly wait for that year to end For the highest--the 8th, was around the bend. And then it was here, what they'd long waited for The highest in Grammer School, that's right, no morel At the end of the class, they numbered 18 45 was the number it first had been ----- They ended the year with some fun at the lake They made all the trouble and noise they could make And then when the day fordiplomascame It's funny, I guess, but they all felt the same The thought that they'd done a job well made them glad But to leave the old school, they felt kind of sad.

Perm As our 1960 rocket zooms across the earth we see, in various places, all our old classmates. What's this? We seem to be nearing a circus, yes it is a circus.. Well, well, guess who we see, that's right--none other than Elwyn Hulst, complete with lion skin and dumbbells, no not the ones you knew in school, the IRON ones! That's correct he's the strong man of the centuy. We continue to look around, but seeing nothing of interest we take off again, this time in the direction of the Bower's Company, where we see Jeanette Hilberdink, world famous Bower's model--Ccontrol yourselves boysli And right across the street we find Paul Lang Jr., President of the First National Bank. His secretary Helen Hunskor is lighting his cigars with 3100 bills. Khmmmmmmm, sounds like a good ideabl And as we come out of the bank, we find Martin Abrahamse, looking very dignified in a neat white suit, casually strolling down 5th Avenue. You guessed it, he's sweeping up all the old dirty dollar bills Paul has out. Quite a street cleaner, Martinlll. And now, we take a quick trip to Holly- wood, where we find the ONE and ONLY Andy Ottesen, starring in the THIN MAN. Thinking this should be interesting, we decide to stay thrown and see what it's like. Who's directing all this? Oh, now we see that it is Margery ' Q Morris, world famous director! And standing next to her waiting to take her next command, 2222 2 is Bob Alexander, long noted as the best copy- C 6' I 1 boy in the O P U FILMS INC. 1' K About this time we decide that we've seen -v enough about movies and so we visit the quiet little morgue, where we find the great Bill White, always the life of the party,--playing - l host to all of his silent friends. O. 0 H!! I . After that bit of morbid amusement, we go gCK4Jg N',f! in search of high entertainment, so we visit ot bl the Rainbow Room, w hee we see none other than X O g Margaret Eaton, doing the famous WBALLET de la fL.,, -5,7 BUBBLEN and who's that in the front row with 0 the huge pin? Oh yes, no mistaking that playboy, Larry Kammengag I always knew there '-f was a gleam in his eye! And speaking of a gleam, as we leave the Rainbow Room we come to R'-T a boy who is sitting in the corner lighting matches. Upon closer observation, we see that the match has Howard Stovall attached to the other end. Some one should tell him what hap- pens to little boys who play with fire! Next on our list is the city hospital, and who do we find there but Harriet Lang, the most sympathetic nurse in Gleezelville, and look who she's taking care of, Al Hoffman, the poor dear was lifting a toothpick and he dropped it on his toe! The doctors say he may live, but his foot will never be the same again. 12
