CLASS POE Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the graduating class of this very year. Six in number, six in mind, All of them sweet and all of them kind. Ralph Burke is mighty keen, And with the girls he's often seen. But give him room, he's big and tall, A splendid player in basketball. Clifford Childers, our red-headed lad, Fusses and fumes and often gets mad. He 's full of spark and full of sass, But we are glad he's in our class. Tommy Durflinger, is mighty smart: He 's a boy with a golden heartg He laughs and clowns and gives his best: When mischief's afoot, he's with the rest Patricia Williams, our only lassg She's rated near the top of the class. No truer gal you'll ever find: To all her friends, she's sweet and kind. Bob Williams, a Comic, an Actor, a poet Friendly, impish, and wouldn't you know it He will work, help win, and take it in stride A fellow classmate we mention with pride Charles Zink is straight and tall. No better man in basketball: He works and studies very hard. Around the classroom he's a card. These words of wisdom are very wiseg They have a meaning in disguise. Heed them well, these words of wit, They name six kids who wouldn't quit. By Bob wnuams

CLASS HI TORY On August 30, 1943, nine children began their most important days of their lives. They were Cliff Childers, Betty Jean Correll, Paul Dicken, Patsy Grogan, Carl Hall, Junior Worley, Charles Zink, Patricia Williams, and Mary Ann Sturgeon. On August 28, 1944, our class discovered that Mary Ann Sturgeon, Carl Hall, Patsy Grogan, and Paul Dicken had moved away from good ole Pine. Junior Worley decided to stay in the first grade another year, so we lost him too. There were six of us in the second grade that year. They were Cliff Childers, Tom Durflinger, Pat Williams, Charles Zink, Betty Jean Correll, and a new comer, Jerry Nicholson. When we started back to school September 3, 1945, we learned that Jerry Nicholson had left us during the summer vacation, and that left us with only five members in our class. Before that year was over, Naomi Meridith joined us and our attendance increased to six. They were Cliff Childers, Betty Jean Correll, Tom Durflinger, Pat Williams, Charles Zink, and Naomi Meridith. As we started the fourth grade in 1946, we learned that we had three new members in our class. They were Junior Bible, Patricia Holder, and Pat Zollman. Those three made the attendance of our class the total of eight mischievious kids. They were Cliff Childers, Betty Jean Correll, Tom Durflinger, Pat Williams, Chuck Zink, Junior Bible, Patricia Holder, 'and Pat Zollman. Betty Jean Correll decided to leave school before the year was over so we finished with seven. The year of 1947 we started back to dear old Pine, with one new member, Bob Williams. Richard Poindexter joined us before the school year was over, that made nine members. They were Junior Bible, Cliff Childers, Tommy Durflinger, Patricia Holder, Patricia Williams, Bob Williams, Chuck Zink, Patricia Zollman, and Richard Poindexter. Patricia Holder had to leave us, so that left us with eight at the end of the year. As we started back to school in the sixth grade on September 3, 1948, we discovered two new members. They were Ann Tyrrell and Ralph Burke. Our two new members raised our attendance to an even ten. Richard Poin- dexter moved to Wolcott, dropping our class membership to nine members, The beginning of our seventh grade was the same as the beginning of the sixth grade. Ralph Burke and Junior Bible left out class in March. They dropped our attendance to seven. Wayne Scott and Ella Mae Wilson joined our class in the eighth grade making our attendance nine again. Pat Zollman, Ann Tyrrell, and Ella Mae Wilson left during the summer so the ninth grade started and closed with 7 members. They were Cliff Childers, Tom Durflinger, Bob Williams, Wayne Scott, Pat Williams, Chuck Zink, and Janet Wright. We had six members in our class when we started our tenth grade. They were Cliff Childers, Tom Durflinger, Bob Williams, Wayne Scott, Pat Williams, and Chuck Zink, Wayne Scott left our school in the tenth grade, but Ralph Burke joined us in our Junior year still leaving the class with six members. The Class of 55 is Ralph Burke, Cliff Childers, Tom Durflinger, Bob Williams, Pat williams, and Chuck Zink. Cliff Childers
