We Look To The igutmfe We've been together now for four long years ln all our work and play, But the time has come for each to go forth And find his chosen Way. We have just passed through another stage Upon our road of life, We have our responsibilities to face ln this World of strife. We are the future of our country, The planners and the doers, The great and small, the rich and poor, The actors and the cuers. The makers of our homes and the builders Of a better nation, All through individuality and not Through emulation. Outstanding scholars, stately preachers, Workers for the good of man, May some day come from those little boys With whom you played and ran. So with high hopes for the future, We Now bid a fond good-bye, To all the joys and memories of our Years at Olney High. -Katherine Sue Mullinax e232

emo Where there's music, there We find Dona Boone and Nelson Leo. Both are terrific on a dreamy Waltz or a hot jazz number. We could always see the class' best dancers at all the school dances. Taking the best-all-around vote, Io Ann Totten and lack Berry seem pretty happy about it all. Io Ann was one of our efficient office girls and lack was our super class chairman. We voted loan Seymour and Gene Rose the most popular of the '47 class, and there is good enough reason! They were both interested in all phases of school life and always anxious to make school life more pleasant for others. lean Gaskins and lack Schaeffer take top honors for good looks, al- though We must admit that they had competition from their classmates. Both were active in school affairs, and We think they both deserved this honor. 44243
