Freshmen Freshman class officers, left to right: Beth Higgins, Patricia Krieg, Cathy Buenz, Monica Moran. Last September, when we seniors returned from our vacation, we found a healthy but slightly timid group of saplings had been planted here at S of H. We applied a little tradition in the forms of initiation, classes, duty, socials, informal get-togethers, and quickly available fun. Our little-sister saplings responded at once and grew into good-sized trees with which we shared the sun and rain of many experiences . Left to right: Elsie Muir, Lenore Fried, Patricia Krieg; Jane Wetterau, Lois Ku-nath, Rita Pfaffinger; Susan White, Charlotte Pasler, Anne Clifford; Marion Am-mann, Robin Kirk, Anne Blank; Hope Gandy.

Prophecy Our Bo is a girl of finesse; That she’ll reach heights of fame is my guess. In landscape design She may be fine; But sociology will cause her success! Every girl in the hall knows our Cacci”--For hoagies she sure is our lackey. With that handyman's car, She’s bound to go far; But the way that she drives it is wacky! Betsy Gruber's a gal of renown Who hails from near Norristown. At the end of the day Her flute she will play When she’s finished her work in the ground. A card is our Ina Meyers Hinkle; Her work is all done in a twinkling. She'll do it or die Or spit in your eye; For Harold this may be an inkling! Judy Hirtle is one who knows art, And in landscape design has a start. This gal will go places, Meet interesting faces, And one of them may steal her heart. From Hinsdale's an aggie named Molly Whose tall tales are mostly pure folly! But the guys she’ll employ On her farm in Illinois Will ride in Volkswagens, by golly! Connecticut has girls who are small. And some are exceedingly tall. But the point we would make To the folks of that state Is that Johnnie will out-reach them all! When it comes to aggies with fame, Margie Martin is one we can name. She can put down a riot With that little word Quiet!” With her kids 'twill be more of the same. Wise girl is our modern friend Jill. She’s decided to landscape a hill; Build a cottage small By a waterfall, And Norman will pay all the bills. Lynn Perry has lots of plans, And her talents will be in demand. Her greenhouses galore On Maryland’s west shore Will have touches of Rome and Japan. A girl from Exeter, Pa. Is destined to go quite a way. Pizano’s the name--Knitting brought her the fame, And her garments should bring quite high pay! To floriculture Miss Sayers is kin; The way she loves plants is a sin, And for a fellow named Jack She's acquired a knack. With her hobbies our Robbie will win! Now Dottie and Lynne are quite gay; They came here from Greenville, Pa. They have more on their minds Than landscape designs; They'll join a fraternity some day! Now Urian, whose first name is Nancy, For landscape design has a fancy. From her interesting talk Of the trails she doth walk We predict there will be some romancing! From Jersey, there’s a Yarwood named Gail; In agriculture, her work cannot fail. With NAC's aid To help make the grade, This gal will be rolling in kale! In Kansas, potatoes grow small, And Iowa’s corn is quite tall. But in the midwest, Yost grows the best; And her herds will out-class them all. Last of our grads is Miss Z. Whose future’s quite easy to see; Her plans have been made And with Arrow to aid Some ranger will be up a tree! 15

Next year these trees will top the forest and find a new planting beneath them. We hope that in the years to come they will remember the good friends made, the sad times shared, and the feeling of comradeship by which they helped to make our senior year such a happy one.
