Ida the only girl in the class owning a car, She drove to places near and far, To ride on the bus to and from school, She didn't mind at all to do. Down the highways Jerry would fly, In his Olds. He's quite a guy, When the time came to get a date, Sharon was the one who seemed to rate. Janice the Art editor of the Senior Star, Keeps her studies up to par, Ready to help whenever needed, And her advice should always be heeded. Phyllis a girl who always had plenty of dates, A gal who, with Ralph always did rate Phyllis Blazek is the girl of whom I say, Maybe you'll be invited to her wedding someday. Ronald who played on the baseball team, Wasn't nearly as quiet as he may seem, Wherever there's fun, he 's always around, But when the teacher appeared he couldn't he found. This lad made it a point to have fun, But Melvin managed to get his lessons done, With all the girls he gets along swell, What he'd do next you never could tell. lake who always resolved to do better, Came to class every day later, Although he's the youngest of our boys, Where he goes there 's sure to be noise. Near Williamson, Iowa lives this girl, Who on the dance floor liked to twirl, Hillbilly music Marilyn liked to hear, To be an Airline reservationist was her chosen career. Farewell to the '56 Senior Class, We hope you will remember each lad and lass, Down the halls our footsteps no more shall ring, But part of our memories to this will cling.

show. When the name of the show flashed across the screen, I almost jumped out of my chair. The show was called the Ronnie Looney's Show. After the first shock was over we enjoyed Ronnie's show immensely. He is a great comedian. His guest star was George Gobel, the man who gave Ronnie his start in show business. Then the show's, vocalist came out to sing a couple of numbers. She wore a green satin gown and a white mink. I didn't recognize her until they showed a close-up of her. It was Mari- ilyn Shinkle. She was singing a blues song and with Marilyn singing it, it sounded good Well, I guess that's all the Seniors of '56, but myself. My life-long ambition was to sing with a band. So after school I went to New York and got a job singing in Club 21. I met my husband there. He owned several radio companies. After that we were married, and put on a radio show of our own. It's been fun meeting my classmates again after all this time. I hope we can meet again in another ten years. Senior Poem Fourteen verses follow in line, We hope each will rhyme, This is to remind you of everyone's art, For the '56 class will soon depart. Nila, the shortest of the class, Is the first of us to pass, To school she had a very long walk, And in class she liked to talk. Carol is the next for us to meet, In her appearance she was always neat, She always had plenty of clothes, And Kenney was the one she chose. Jack the guy with the crew cut hair, Without a problem or a care, He got through school by hook, or crook. Usually by copying someone's book. Donna is our ambitious lass, She was the fastest typist in our class, When it came to basketball she was on the beam, She made a good forward for our team. Rosie, whom we know by name, Had a giggle that won her fame, To drive the Chevie was her delight, Especially with a gang at night.
