And then we saw before us tive lovely damsels fair Who wore bright red mantillas and white roses in their hair- Senoritas Hartzell, Liming, Miller, Snyder, and Burns, Who twirled and dipped in a Spanish dance and bowed to us in turns. ln gay Paree we found some friends who were modeling in a shop, On Eileen Smith and Barbara Beem we wanted to eavesdrop. There were Iane Ohmer and Ianet Gates who owned the little storep Behind a counter was Eugenie waiting on Ieanne Moore. We strolled along in silent thought beneath Napoleon's arch: From two gendarmes, Welhener and Stein, we learned where the soldiers Brass buttons shone 'gainst bright blue coats as the men gave a saluteg Then Major Kuhns raised up his sword and gave the command to shoot. A street cafe not far away was run by Solomon Maeder. The singers, Humberger, Ohmer, and Evans, with Langley for a waiter, Pleased all old customers like Gibbons, Thrasher, Young, and Prughg And Schuster, Worman, Deuser, and Roth, the patrons also knew. Italian troops were marching by and brilliant flags were raised, On prancin horses by his side were Mussolini's aides. Baker, Huffman, Allen, and Mack in uniforms uite grand: And there was General Davie Paull from the Egmiopian land. In vineyards of fair Sicily we heard three maids in songp Among the clusters of purple grapes stood Adkins, Boyles, and Wysong. In a seaside villa lived Doris Van Patten. an authoress of fame 5 She wrote the life of Marjie Davis, who'd made herself a name. Where flows the wide and cooling Nile into the turbulent sea, A lighthouse stands in the edge of the rock which has in it keepers three: They're Walter, Burkhardt 'n' Storms 5 their cook's Miss Sonnanstine, Who visits the Cornells whene'er the weather's line. We met then Doctor Gilman, who di s into p ramidsg George Nicholas, Glen Callander, and Myers fielped him to rid The mummies of their wrappings and Qiueen Knoll of her gold. Her slaves were Kiefaber and Frank, w o by now were rather old. That Loudon man was selling skins in darkest Africa, He found himself a native queen who was Frances Canada. A sound of tom-toms echoed far, and native tribes arrivedg march. Great chiefs-Broadstone, Hendrix, and Engelman-for many honors strived. In the land of the Turks our Stevie Smith ruled o'er a beautiful harem: On silken cushions he did lie with lovely girls to snare him. The fair beauties, Arnold, Rehling, F einerer, and Rice, With Matthews, Manney, and Headington for him made paradise. Prof. Morier took on a tour most any girl at all. Our Phil and lky, Marge and Mary gazed on the Taj Mahal. The two'Betties and Martha Lou were visiting the sages Whose tales of future happiness have come down through the ages. Dwelling in northern India where mountains reach the sky, Miss Hollinger had written books which all of us should buy. Our artist Marianna Will, climbing up a Himalayan peak, Was cheered by Martha and Rosie as her goal she did seek. On to Hawaii's sandy shore our shi did make its wayg We were to reach our own fair landpin just another day. A plague had covered all the isle and taken many lives Until Doc Biechler had arrived and cured them of the hives. So after days in foreign lands, we saw the Golden Gatep Mayor Siebenthaler met us there and welcomed us in state. The Lumherjack has come to dock within the port called Present, YVe trust that you've enjoyed the trip and really found it pleasant. Mildred Hostetter Virginia Hopper Page Twenty-fu

Cfhirtg-aix It has been the policy of this, the greatest senior class ever to grace the halls ol' this institution ot' learning and unlearning, to institute originality into its projects. Since we realize that we are liar superior to our under-classmen and that none of our scintillating qualities would be of use to the common herd, we have come to the conclusion that we should extract from the rest of the school those few qualities land they are fewj that we have not as yet acquired. Yve hereby appoint as executors Bob Burns fArkansas Buzooka virtuosoj and Governor Davey. Uhr will illnllmuz Harry Burnett and Marv Louise Nlatthews, already accomplished dancers, are to be given dancing lessons by Jim Hobstetter and janet Nvhalen. Robert Edwin ftlrange in the Mugj Gowdy, better known as Bob, wills his ability not to speak out of turn to Helen Ankeney and Venita Strain. Mr. Crum's brain trusts, Phil Lorenz and Yvalter Kern, bestow u ion ll ' ll ll ' ' ll ' I Nlernie Arnold, Millie Hostetter, and Lucy Ann Rice a formula de- vised to keep girls awake on dates. The triumvirate of Graves, Schmidt, and Spider Anderson give their tranquil nature to Barbara Beem, Virginia Hopper, and Eugenie VVeber. A new 1956 Chevrolet with a tankful of lxlobilgas goes to the ever enthusiastic Harold Boyd and David Paull, from David Banker. And Bill Hosier gladly gives his faculty to tell pointless jokes to Frances Slade, who knows all the answers. William Siebenthaler is to receive from Nlary Beust one complete trans- lation of Virgil, to be used if he passes Caesar, while Mary K. Burns, Maury lane Boyles, and lane Limin are to receive a book entitled Good Excuses from Nlelbourne Lehr ani lim Hall. Dick Iones's Physical Culture Institution, of which Dick is founder, sole instructor, and exhibit A, guarantees to Bob Stein, lim Kuntz, and Ted Harroll a manly all-around development it' they graduate, and ot course they will. CU Because of their lack of ferocity, Ted Newill and George Lytle bestow upon Glen CTuH'yj Alaxon, Alger ClVlan Nlountainj Broadstone, and Kenny fThe Mzxsterj Pitt a vicious attitude. Doc Lautenschlager gives Iames Kuhns and his crooked King's cor- net a batch of cotton to pass out to his audience belore he renders a solo. Betty lane Nlclwahan bequeaths to Dorothy Headington and Cecile Fischbem her sweet and demure manner while Charles Mzirtin, junior parliamentarian, promises to pass a law prohibiting Ianie Kiel'aber's singing. Iim Tompert and Bob Boyd relinquish a bottle of greasy hair tonic, a broken mirror, and six or seven combs to Dwight Prugh. The little man of the hour, Phil Clegg, and lim Gibson bestow their athletic prowess to none other than XValter NVorman to use at Virginia if he stays there long enough. Charles Thrasher and his Thrashing Mzxcliines otherwise known as the Harvesters are to receive four-year scholarships to Podunk University from YVimpy Humberger, Ir.
