And credit goes to those who worked on Chimes and Scituation. Jiimny won the Bausch-Lomb Award. His science was well-learned. A Good Sports Award was given, too: that Diane and Richie earned. Donnie traveled to the State House. Ruthie won the D. A. R. Fred, for once, forgot his drums and was the oratory star. The Senior Snow Ball — what a night! Fm sure you ' ll all agree. And long will live the mystery of where we got that Christmas tree. Our acting talent really showed the night of the Senior Play. Brother Goose made quite a hit in no ordinary way. This has been our Senior year: our talents we ' ve endowed. It was the most to say the least, and of it wc are proud. We ' ll remember all the parties, the dances, and the fun. Frida) night movies, and the football games we won. To Miss Hawkes and Mr. Johnson, our advisers true. We give the deepest gratitude for helping us pull through. The past has flown, the future waits, and graduation nears, But the mem ' r of our high school da s will last throughout the years. This is the finish of my tale; so now may I come inT Why certainly, the Keeper said, in you I see no sin. On the old beloved Ford, a lonfiinii filance was cast And with a solemn diicnity. lhrouy.h the Pearly Gates he passed. The Keeper said, Come here, my boy. and join your old crew. Thev ve been tvaitinti patiently here all day for YOU. Our classmate turned and there he saw his formei jriends api ear. Tell me, please, he then replied, just liou did they get here? The Keep er slowly answered back and started with, Ahem! The writin}i of this made you die, the reading finished them! 22
