LITTLE-KNOWN FACTS ABOUT WELL-KNOWN SENIORS QContinueclD Bill Flagg is carrying the torch for Margaret Z. Don't let her blow it out before you show her your stuff, Bill. Marion West thinks Bob R. is pretty good at warding off the ball at basketball games. Keep up the good work, Bob. You and I know that a bathtub is a queer place to sleep, but Bob Remington doesn't think so. Marilyn Spencer's motto is said to be quality and not quantity . Cornell fits that perfectly, as she can tell you. Strange how Mary Louise Matteson can't find other places besides French lll class for her correspondence with our editor-in-chief. Horton Smith always picks on girls smaller than himself. lt must be that either there aren't any bigger girls to be had or he is afraid of them. Betty Patterson would appreciate it if someone would lend her a set of brakes in order to continue her activities as cheerleader. Harold Fellows, it is said, runs out of gas any time he feels like it. No wonder he likes a Nash better than any other make of car. We understand Ethel writes very nice letters. We know she does in English and probably a certain soldier thinks so, too. Better be careful, Ethel, because someone else has an interest in him, too. Do you remember-the time in Atlantic City when Betsy was caught in the hotel corridor in rather slip-shod attire? Such a time to lock a door. You should have taken your time. Due to the passage of time have we forgotten that somewhere about 7th grade, Merrill Cornell had a terrific crush on our friends Ethel and Marilyn? The poor fellow just couldn't choose between them! Anyone wishing information on how to escape from a bear in the State Park see Pete West. She didn't have as good luck with a wolf, though. Cornie , our track star, can run the half mile in almost nothing flat. He also runs after gasoline, too, very quickly. Somehow the car started again and our star only had to run about a quarter of a mile. Naturally everyone remembers the time when Janet Hoitink was sent to the office for cracking hickory nuts in the study hall. Barb Archer is very stubborn when it comes to unlocking doors. Ask Sonny Bis- sell who stood outside for two hours trying to break down her resistance. It looks as though Cain bit off more than he can chew. Three girls at one time is quite a problem. lt seems that Pete West may have a little competition. Anyway, Bob Remington carries Betty Hausheer's and Pete's pictures in his billfold. Which one is it, Bob? lt's a well-known fact that Paul Benson doesn't know there is a shortage of men. Pick out a girl, Paul-there is a surplus! Doris Honey always sits alone at the theater. Can it be that she is being true to that Marine, or could it? Chrystole Carr certainly would fit in well with the WAACS. Proof? Listen when she starts off with the Grandma stories . U Well, well, June! Certainly strange how you like to visit the cemetery! ls it really to look for a ghost or is there a more important reason? Flash-Hear all about the Hill-Crawford co-operation, formed to work on Problems of Democracy in the library. True or false? The class of '43 thinks that Carl Wright ought to take a course in The Lovelorn Column . How about it, Mary? Do you agree? Merle Sheffield was the only boy on the dance floor during most of the dance sponsored by the Swingers . He didn't especially like that, or did he? Howard Charlesworth likes sliding parties, so we're told. But on sliding parties, Howard, one is supposed to slide, not disappear toward the little white schoolhouse with innocent young girls, particularly a certain sophomore. They don't have night school at Napoli, do they? Merle claims that he wishes he could pick out his own partners to go advertising for the yearbook. Q0

POETRY DREAMS IN FANTASY While sitting alone in my study hall seat My thoughts often stray from the printed sheet. l dream up big things in my fantasy, Things that would be most funny to see. Miss Coxe is there with a big cigar, Prof. Van Wie runs around in a big red car. Mr. Kline with a staff guides his flock to the fold, While Miss Quinlon is there only twenty years old. Cornell shows up with a babe on each arm, But Remington's in there learning to farm. Shy little Helen has never a beau, So glamorous Jean is the hit of the show. Barb Archer has grown to six feet tall, And when Curtiss calls up, Dexter's not there at all. Bolton, a barber, weilds scissors and comb, While, wonder of wonders, Cain knew the way home. Betsy and Dick broke up. lWhat a dreamll And Bill Flagg, the pilot, came in on the beam. lssy and Bacon were friends for a week. Poor Chrystole was hoarse and couldn't speak. The kids rule the land in this day-dream so queer, While the oldsters look on with never a sneer. There's a dance every night that lasts until four, Then you sleep all the day and come back for rnore. The teachers in school are such good-Iookers all, The guys flock around like fourth period study hall. So remember this, pal, when your cares get you down, Day-dreams don't cost you a cent in this town. Note: Fourth period study hall is presided over THE CLASS OF '43 Our day of glory has come at last For we've worked and moiled with the rest. long days of study have come ond passed, And with pride we say, We're the best . The We little thought, five years ago, We'd live to see this day, For we were green and a little slow, To catch on to the high-school way. lt was all very strange, to say the least, To wander from place to place, And most could be found, as the bell's ringing ceased, ln the halls, with a frown on their face. But we quickly acquainted ourselves with this And soon were old hands at the game. We could rattle a teacher in perfect bliss And on someone else pin the blame. Oh, we had our ups and we had our downs, Though the teachers said mostly the latter. Could such a class get caps and gowns? The answers were not meant to flatter. Then our last dear year came rolling around And everyone seemed to fit in, Not a bad Senior class that we have found, Not at all like it might have been. Now we've reached the pinnacle without gas,- Made a mark for all to see. Others may copy, but none surpass The class of forty-three. 22 by Miss Needham. -M. S. '43
