Who is this? Don Otis McFadden, The one who thinks he is Aladdin. Don says the girls may be all right, But you won't catch him taking them out at night. Now, Mary Louise, and boy, can she sing! When she hits those high notes your ears really ring. Hubert and she still get along swell- Some think they will be united, but you never can tell. They always pick from the senior class Who will be married first-so now-Alas! We have picked Esther McNeal as the probable one, For she has her hope chest filled and then some. And now here's a girl with a sweet personality She walks and talks with an air of formality: Pauline Miller always has a twinkle in her eye, And this twinkle, I'm sure, some boy will spy. Here we have Samuel Ogg. The hermit of the hollow log: Sam is quite a lady's man, But he takes Wanda home whenever he can. Look who's here! Willis Outcalt! The one who takes Martha Maxine out for a walk. Martha says, Willis, let's go for a ride. Willis says, Why not? My car's easy to hide. Fern Phillips, a little gal, Now steps up to take her bow. In public speaking class she lost no time while talking- She always had some clever ideas, especially little girls mocking, Here's a little girl who has been very lonely, Lonesome for her one and only, Yes, it's Alberta Platt waiting for Gene, Who calls her his own, his sweet little queen. Yes. this is little Felix Price, Who with Ossian girls doesn't spliceg He thinks that he is quite a prancer. As for the Decatur gals-he's their romancer. Roxanna Richey in dear old Ash Pan was born, She had quite a case with a guy in a uniform: But that's in the past and she's free again To go where she pleases whenever she can. Doris Shaffer, who plays in the band, Tells us that Harry Button is her man: She has quite a time, I've been told, For Harry likes other girls' hands to hold. Red hair and temper run along in the same line And when the boys tease Alma they have quite a time, Bob Swank and Alma stick together like glue And they say when they're together they really -Woo! Whoo! Leanore Smith, who hails from Poe, Tells us she has no boy friend no mo'- But she's on the search and it won't be long Before she'll meet another and her heart will go gong, Irene Snider a nurse would like to be, And feed some handsome man his daily cup of tea. She pays no attention to these Ossian boys, Because she says they're rude and make too much noise. I hear the star, Edwin Stoppenhagen, Love to Virginia Slane has been makin'1 Edwin says for her he'd gladly die, And Virginia calls Ed her sweety pie. Here's Lyle Summersg he's in a race To see who gets first place: But Jack says Lyle is much too dumb: And therefore, the race is already won. Here we have Mr. Dean Toor. Who in lessons in school is very poor. He seems to be quite a lady's man- But takes out the older girls whenever he can. Zetta Weikel is a quiet one Who likes to sit and daydream when her work is done: But when she starts to laughing-I say, Beware! For anything can happen anywhere. Pauline Welch is always surrounded by boys, But only one is the height of her joys, You'll find her working in a tive and ten. Or stepping out with Earl, hand in hand, A private secretary is what Anita hopes to be: Her boss she wants to know, so she can sit on his knee: Then perhaps he'1l fall in love And take her as his little turtledove. Here's a girl who jumps in and works right through. But when things go wrong she always stops to fret and stew, Right now, Viola gives the boys a cold shoulder. And tells them she'll wait until she gets a little older. And now we have Miss Nellie White, Who has parties at her house about every night, She is planning to enter Ball State College, Find her a hero, and get a little more knowledge, Ilow Wilson is quiet and shy- And blushes and says to every boy that goes by. Oh! My! tee hee. Go away and let me be. Marjorie Wolf. who takes Home Ec.. Says she'd like to wring some boy's neck- She's always as quiet as a mouse, Because she's busy planning her house. Here is handsome Charles Yager, Who with the girls is quite a wager. Charles says, I'm done with wimrnin' The last one I was with gave me a trimmin'. We have told you about each senior, I think, And now we'll let this foolishness sink. Before ending this, the poem of our class, We would like some serious thought of ours to pass. We are ready now to go out into life- To enter this world of woe and strife. No matter where we go, no matter what we say, We always remember O. H, S. and memories so gay- We hate to leave you, but we must go. Adventure is calling us high and low- There are no ditches in the sky, So to keep to the right we all will try, For if you give to the world the best you can do The world is bound to be a boomerang to you! Nineteen
