CAROL Sul: Snzcu-: Treasurer. . .Aucx-: Esc:-nswanmnm-:R Colors ........... BLUE AND WHITE T'was the day before graduation, And at school that day, Everyone was rehearsing, What he was to say. The teachers seemed sorry, The students acted glad, But deep down inside, They really felt sad. They looked at the blackboards, The desks and the chairsg The time's getting closer, When fortune will be theirs. Today they remembered, The swell times they'd had, The happy ones, the sad ones, The good ones and bad. Each student was different, No thoughts were the same, Some were thinking of vacation, Others were thinking of fame. They'll always remember, As the years roll by, Each and every classmate, At dear Old Ross High. Take Lou Ann Allen, A sweet little lass, She has beautiful hair, And she's the tiniest in class. Or handsome Russell Andes, A bright sort of boy, He's very intelligent, And studying's his joy. Then there's Allene Barker, Who's so tiny in size, She's very, very, pretty, With beautiful brown eyes. And Eileen Bennett, Whom we knew from the start, She's going to college, And take up art. A lad named Chuck Bober, Who played' on the team, Was our newest addition, And has hair like a dream. Now, sweet Jeannette Burns, ls a very nice gal,' She's very efficient, And a really true pal. For the ping-pong champion, Gordon Buttertleld's his name, He's the tallest in class, And his steer brought him fame. Verldon Campbell was known, For his wonderful manners, If awards were given, He'd take all of the banners. Our prophecy for Vera Endress, Is that she'll be the first bride, When she walks down the aisle, Ollie will swell with great pride. We musn't forget George Engel, Who's a very nice lad, Farming's his ambition, He'1l make the best to be had. She has beautiful dark hair, And her freckles look sweet, Alice Eschenbrenner is a girl, We all like to meet. For the class musician, We choose Jack Fox, He'll soon be famous, With his own band box. For the humor of the class, And all the funny stuff, We choose the one and only, Our friend, Horace Huff. There is a boy who always smiles, He never has the blues, You're wondering who it is? His name is Karroll Hughes. Now Earl Hoover is a quiet lad, With never much to say, But let him be with classmates, And he's really on his way. Everyone knows Ethel Irwin, And the fine editor she's madeg When she goes to college, She'll surely make the grade. Ralph Jarvis was a football player, He took it in his stride: Also president of the senior class, This gave to him much pride. Her handwriting is beautiful, Her papers look so neat, Her name is Emogene Kimble, And she's very, very, sweet. Earl Lakes was always in trouble, Or seen running around in the hall, But his athletic ability, Will make him remembered by all. Her disposition is wonderful, And she's just loads of fun, Geneva Lewis believes in, A good word for everyone.

Now, Clemens Meier is a good sized chap, He's healthy, smart, and strong, He's good in sports and likes to hunt, And has been popular all along. Barbara Morrison has pretty eyes, And well-shaped mouth, She is really liked by everyone, And a true bell from the south. Margaret Owen has a beautiful smile, And chestnut colored hair, And when there's any fun going on, Margaret is always there. Now Freddie Patton's a handsome lad, Who loves to go to school, We wonder if the reason isn't, Because of Martha Buell. Kenneth Phillips, who never worries Has the famous name of Fuzz, He says he always has work to do, But somehow never does. Floyd Pillion is always in his place, And never does much harm, He hasn't time to stay after school, For he's very busy on his farm. Now cute little Eddie Rice, ls as sweet as he can be, But when the girls chase him in the hall, He yells, Aw, keep away from me. For the Irishman, it's Patrick O'Ryan, And a very fine lad to meet, But when it comes to brainwork, Pat is very hard to beat. Now Denver Settle has the reddest hair, Of any boy in class, He never was found out of his place, Or offered a word of sass. If beauty and brains don't go together, Then please explain to me, How Carol Sue Siegle can have both, Plus a sweet personality. Blonde hair, eyes like heaven, A sense of humor none can beat, June Statzer, the best around, Cheery, sweet, and quite a treat. To be a sweet and charming girl, ls Jenny Tillery's aim, We didn't know what sweetness was, Until after Jenny came. Bob Tragesser has a healthy mind, And was quite a basketball fan, But when it comes to motor bikes, He's quite a fancy Dan. Now Jim Turner is a quiet lad, And won't be forgotten by far, And one place you'll never see him, Is hanging over a bar. Ray Weber is nicknamed Shorty, He likes to date the girls, He has the cutest, blackest hair, Just simply dangling with curls. For the boy most likely to succeed, Wallace Wogenstahl is his name, He'l1 soon go off to college, And bring old Ross High fame. Yes, these are the seniors of 49, We've had so very much fun, And so in closing, we wish to say, Good luck, God Bless You, everyone. Written by the members of the Senior Class.
