CLASS POEM Loud rang the note of the organg the processional march began. A solemn stillness held the air, a hush falls while all turn to stare. Slowly down the aisle they come with heads held high and proud, These Seniors, who would graduates be, moved thro' the endless crowd. Their feet tramping out the rhythm, hearts singing out a song. The old life slowly fading, and new hopes and dreams are strong. There is Marion Bredernitz and Russell Bearss, hand in hand they swing along. Their hearts are doubly happy for they know it won't be long. Here comes Alberta Robison with her heart all a- flutter, None other than David Vaughn is walking there beside her. Ohhhh my!!! breathes a chorus of whispers from some feminine voices near. For here comes Wesley Jahnke, the most popular boy of the year. Marilyn Dietiker feels so very blue. nHe's not here,' a voice seems to infer. She looked around and there she found, Lynn Burdick was right behind her. Then necks did stretch and hearts did break, for down the aisle there came, Miss Lois Deede with more 'oomph than glamorous Veronica Lake. Ed anderson came proudly down the aisle, upon his gown he tripped, And blushed a beautiful bright pink which made the people smile. Next comes Alice Klein, our Valedictorian. She smiles and breathes a sigh of relief, For she knows her work here is finished and she will always remain our chief. There is Charlotte Phelps our Salutatorian. She marches on very calm and serene, For her heart is in California with a brave and strong Marine. Oh, there's dashing Eddie and his dear Flo. How happy they seem to be. We call them the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the reason, you can easily see. Virginia Luckhardt and Laura Sally softly step to the rhythm of the melody. Their fairness and simplicity glowing, their charm and friendliness we see.

Class Poem Con't. Doris Smith and Louise Tower two friends tried and true Smile gayly for just behind them are Warren and Freddie waiting for a rendezvous. Willard Ellis and Paul Hack, two casanovas are They walk with springy step and send their joy afar. Towering above all the Seniors and trudging slowly along Comes our handsome hero Art Singleton, who makes girl's hearts flutter all day long. Now comes the time to pay tribute to our brave and loyal boy Who is fighting in Uncle Sam's navy. 'Tis our sailor Eugene Weed who is graduating too. He takes the place of honor in his uniform of blue. As the Seniors step to the platform and look around below They see one bright and smiling face with happiness aglow. 'Tis our Dear and beloved Vicky, our friend and advisor is she Who has led us thro' endless troubles and brought us safely to thee. Last of all I'd like to tell you of the pleasure that has been mine Of the joy I've had while serving this wonderful class of mine. They've been so very grand to me. Have helped me by the tons And I'm here to say that I love them each and every one. Soon the Seniors will journey out on life's danger- ous road Each in a different direction, each to a different abode. I hope they will always remember Of the happiness and joy we have shared. ---Margaret Finch
