SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Thirteen years ago we came And nearly drove Mrs. Frost insane, Linda, Elissa, Mary Ann, Sally and Mary completed the clan. The next year Sandy joined the crowd - She's stayed since then - of that we're proud, In second grade blonde Pat Clemmer came But she left in Ninth - what a shame! Linda and Elissa left in Third But we'll be back, was what we heard, Fourth grade came along with a bang Judy Firestone joined the gang. We hit a new high under Mrs. T. A dog, a trip, and petite Nancy, The Dearborn Museum thrilled us no And Tracy became our bosom friend. Sue Weil had a change of heart, She came in Sixth, then did depart. While she was gone, Roberta came. CH Sue returned in Eighth with more names of fame. Diane arrived with a French accent, Perry from King and Julie from Kent, Christie swept in at Mid-Term I'm from St. Louis, she did affirm. Exams were new and irritating, Our dance dates new, but captivating, Graduation followed the usual theme But to us it was an Eighth grade dream. Things really changed in '54 Lots of new Freshies were at the door, Merritt and Lynne came into view, Barbara, Sarah, and Cynthia, too. Joanne was with us only a year But with her Linda reappeared. Freshman year was really great, Twenty-nine Big Sisters rnade it first rate. Dancing school and Initiation, Candlelight and Christmas vacation, May Day and graduation brought a few tears. These were the highlights of our Freshman year. Judy left to seek the sun. Sally H. and Ruth joined in our fun. Elissa came back to help us prepare For our first prom, a grand affair. Gaity reigned at Blues In The Night g It was a success to our delight. The rest of the year was one great whirl, Parties and dates were enjoyed by each girl. Mary Ann left for a Western state While Anna K. became a new classmate, With her came Polly, Steph, and Julie B. - Four fine additions you must agree. We worked on the Yearbook and Source Themes Then along came February - another prom due, 'Twas a Mardi Gras ball set in New Orleans With masks, balloons and a lovely queen. Our final year was hard but gay. The Royal Family was our Senior play, Little Sisters made the year seem bright, College acceptances brought us delight. Now a word of thanks before we leave And appreciation for what was achieved, Wher'er we go - we'll never fail To remember and be grateful to you, Old Trail. , too.
