E p I 25 al! I was asked to write this To tell you how we rate, So here goes the poem Of the class of forty-eight. He was basketball manager, A regular handy man, If you want something done, Just ask Carl, he can. One of the girls is filled With lots of humor and wit, When it comes to the Recorder, Gloria does her bit. We always called him Bud- Forest is his real name. He has journeyed with us Four years just the same. This girl is meek as a lamb, But if you want zeal and might When it comes to politics, Patty is ready to fight. Florence gets a lot of A's, When she can memorize it allg But when it comes to speed in typing She is liable for a fall. HI love ath1etics,H says Paul, nBut most of my love I am Giving to a junior girl By the name of Margaret Ann.u Mrs. Lanich was She ably led l r Anna has a temper She can't always keep in hand, She was in the student council, The chorus, and the band. Mary was our Recorder editor, She was good in studies toog After graduation is over, We think a wedding is due. Bob came here when a junior, He was our basketball starg In the field of professional ball He aims to travel far. Jay goes all out for sports, He was center of our team Always had something to say Friendly he did seem. He was on the basket ball team, Had them on the go, He has a joking manner, It's no one else but Joe. Jack sang in the chorus, Helped in playing ball, Filled his place in senior row In the good old study hall. Wilbur likes the fields and tractors, He'll make a farmer good, Helping to supply the world With the much needed food. our advisor, us through She taught us literature and English Led our activities too. flew UWM!

6 few As I was walking down the street today, I dmanced to meet an old man who at once attracted my attention by the brilliant purple and gold which were fly- ing from his buttonhole. Looking into his face, I perceived that he had such a benevolent, intelligent countenance that I stepped up to him and introduced myself. He received me pleasantly, and after conversing a few minutes, I re- marked upon the ribbons he was wearing. WWe1l,W said he, 'I'l1 tell you about them, I'm celebrating the anniver- sary of my graduation day. You see my class graduated from the Palestine High School on May 19, 1948, just fifty-six years ago, and that is why I am wearing our class co1ors.' 'Indeed,' commented I. 'And I suppose your class was quite up to the av- erage.' 'Up to the average,' he almost shouted. 'We1l, I should say we were. Why, it was the most remarkable class that ever graduated from the finest High School in the land. Now just listen while I tell you a thing or two about that class. 'I remembered 12 members were enrolled in the first grade of Palestine school in the year of 1936. Our teacher was Miss Myers. Among the students which remained in the opening class through twelve years are Jay Mikesell, Anna Dill and Patty Wilt. Joe and Carl Graham Joined our class during the lat- ter part of our first year. I imagine something Joe will remember for a long time about his school days, was the first day he attended our school. We went on a hike and when we arrived back at school, Joe was missing. So after going back to the place of our hike, we found Joe sitting on a tree stump crying because he was lost. Our second grade was so large that it had to be divided into two classes with one group under Miss Adavier and the other one under Miss Bayman. Mr. Noll was our third grade teacher. Although some of our classmates left during that year, Juanita Lindamood came to fill their place in our grade. Mrs. Dille was our fourth grade teacher. When we started our fifth year in school, we had a new teacher, Mr Stephens and some new pupils also. They were Gloria Stevens, Betty Laux and Joan Sharp. Mr. Stephens left about the middle of the year and Mrs. Elliott, who has been teaching hezesince then came. She was also our sixth grade teacher. CCont1nued on the next pagel
