CLASS OF 41 When the time comes around for writing a ditty Or a rhyme on our Senior Class They should call on someone at least who is witty, And not such a dumb little lass. However, they didn't and so in the end I was stuck with the job, and how! So I ask you, be kind, and lend your ears Till I finish and take my bow. I'll start with John Williams at the head of my list, William Stone, Gaile Smith, Leo Leahr Who are all past sixteen but have never been kissed Or at least that's what we all hear. Schafer and Little, Riley and Dell Are four little girls of renown. All they've done we promised never to tell, For it soon would be all over town. Guy Wombles and Willard, Joe Bennett and Pee Wee Never know just which way to go, But we have concluded it's easy to see These guys aren't so awfully slow. Rowena, you know is a shy little lass And so is tiny Bee Kingery; Lucille and Marjorie are not far behind Nor is our petife little Marie. Dean Niebur, timid little basketball star Has Bonnie quite under his thumb Wes Caughlan loves Hull, but we have to admit He remembers to stay at home some. Herb Brokow is the clown of the school Buss Durr runs a close second race Herb Haddock doesn't rank very far back And Orville is keeping the pace. The belles of the school, it's easy to tell Are Watson, Billie and Lou Marilyn, Mildred, Annie and Dot Could be easily classed here too. None is as big or as handsome by for As Don Ghrist, a star of our team And Harold Hillman on whom we depend Is hero of every girl's dream. Fdna, Marietta, Eleanor and Ruth Are Summer Hill's big delegation They make up the town to the biggest extent, Except for their lot of relation. Gene Voyles, Dale Ramsey, Potter and Dunham Hail from out Baylis way And not to be slighted, Yale Bridgman comes along To P.C.H.S. for the day. William Bergman will chew off the ear Of anyone under the sun Who flirts with Mardell, for, so he declares She is his only one. Helen Killebrew and Dorothy Capps Are so quiet you don't know they're near For Mona McConnell and little Hayes Smart Are the only ones you can hear. Twenty-foui

CLASS OF '41 Mack Tucker, most popular boy of the class Is leader over us all But heedless of him, little Steers, known as Cub'' Jumps quickly at Lasater's call. leek Leeper is crazy, at least so we think And so is Chet Sutfon, it seems Bob Rowe is the artist of P.C.H.S. Who pictures all of our dreams. Frank Frazier finds interest in a tiny blonde And as tor the Smiths, Ronald and Guy Paul Weil's rather fond of one too Hard telling where their affections are due. Cleon and Fred are two tall lads With a lot, but nought on their mind But Robert Kern is the one who wishes His A grades for to find. Two little girls with nothing to say Betty Mays and Helen Dark are, Just the opposite is Wilma Stone Who certainly silence does mar. Little Miss Hassett and Ada Smith Are as different as night and day Ada is flighty, and ready to go, Gerry has little to say. Kermit Couch, Tinker Butler, Lawrence Keith and Dutch Don't bother the girls very much But we all think if the truth were known They could have them tight in their clutch. Two little boys are Barryites And rate pretty high with each girl Is it Floyd and Winfred or just their car That sets the girls in a whirl? Louie Gicker and Raymond Loyd Are killer-dillers we hear Stuart Ducey and L. L. Deam Aren't bad for the time of the year. Anna Kientzle and little Kate Are the pride and joy of the Scouts They’re quiet, sedate, demure little girls Who never take part in the routs. Linda loves her dear White Hall As so well we've all been told Betty Eagle loves rides in a taxi But, Puss, isn't he rather bold? Evelyn Smith and her army of men Seem to make it o.k. And Smith, little Beulah Mick Likes flour along her way. In conclusion, friends, one and all Don't go and tell all this Because if you did you certainly would Put the author in a terrible fix. —VERNA MAE SHEPHERD. Twenty five
