CLASS POEM We the class of '59, Will soon be leaving our school behind. lt's been twelve years of work and fun, But twelve good years for everyone. Kay Maynard, the first in our hall of fame Is a girl who is always about the same. There's never a job too large or small, She does her best to please us all. Bruce Leak, the president of our class, Goes with a certain Bruceville lass. He plans to be an engineer, He's sure to make it, I have no fear. Kay Ivers is this girl's name, But I doubt if it will remain the same. For Kay is engaged to a Vincennes boy, We wish her much happiness and joy. Junior Rinsch, who from Freelandville hails ls very good at driving nails. He's helped build houses with his carpentry skill At this he surely fills the bill. Jeanette McMillin along in our line, ls as likeable a girl as you will find. To be an artist is her ambition, We bet she succeeds under any condition. Bob Bond, the boy we call Snake, A barbering course plans to take. He's been the Cassanova of our class, And has had his charm over many a lass. Kay Wilson is known by all, She has dark hair and isn't very tall. She's always good for a laugh or two. And keeps us all from feeling blue. We see a boy in a Chevrolet, He drives this car almost every day. Bruce Mayall is this lad's name, Short and blonde and always the same. Karen Wolfe, the musician of our class, Is a tall, red-headed lass. After high school with her knowledge, She plans to attend a business college. Frank Beaman the next in line, Is full of fun all the time. He likes to play cards, as you can see, A gambler he will surely be. Betty and Leo Whitson are a brother and sister team It isn't very often that this is ever seen. Betty a beautician plans to be, And Leo a card shark, says he. Margaret Snyder can be seen from day to day Working at the local IGA. She's known for her personality wherever she may go And at getting acquainted she isn't very slow

Ronnie Hanger is usually happy and gay, Except when teachers get in his way. For hot rods and racing he is a fiend, And at the drag races he can be usually be Vera Richardson the shy one of the class, At eating candy will never be surpassed. She's undecided as to what she will be, So we will all just have to wait and see. And next we see Greg Mitton, by name, Who is remembered for his dancing fame. This boy's one obsession, Is engineering as a profession. Janice Morrison the next one of us, Is quiet and never raises a fuss. And for her future, so we hear, She is looking to nursing as a career. George Arthur, from the farm hails, He's not very big but tough as nails. A barber he is planning to be, We think he'l1 make it, wait and see. Now here's a girl who changed her name, By getting maried it isn't the same. Lola Kehoe at the head of our class, Is very smart and sure to pass. Here I am at the end of the line, And I'm no poet as you will find. I've tried my best to introduce us to you, SEED Mistakes I've made plenty, corrections, few. Neil Holcomb CLASS CLASS FLOWER: Varigated Carnation. CLASS COLORS: Ice Blue and Silver. CLASS SONG: Stardust. MOTTO: Promise little and do much.
