Qha Hourglass SENIOR CLASS POEM Four years ago in '42 The Freshman Class was quite a stew Their voices rang from door to door And no-one knew what was the score. Herbert Collins is a handy tool Around the good old Strasburg School. Tobias Kircher with eyes so bright Takes the Chevie each Sunday night. When P. E. comes he's right on the beam With his throttle open and plenty of steam Delbert Doehring who's tall and slim, Is usually found in the Dulling Gym. At basketball he's a pretty good shot, When it comes to girls he's on the spot. Now comes Bob, the farmer's son, Who keeps Myra on the run, In my opinion he's a pretty good boy And is made up of the real McCoy. - Lona is a slender dame At getting beaux she's won her fame. Emogene and Lona are always together Makes no difference what the weather. Francis is a little short But is never on the B. B. court. Now Gail's here and Gail's there, But never found in an easy chair, And Gail's as sharp as any tack, And's sometimes driving her father's hack Dot Wilson lives out on the bus route And for the boys does not give a hoot. But on over East is a little gal, When she sees a boy she raises a howl. She never lets one out of her sight And now you know it is Miss White. Now if you see a girl driving a Ford V You will soon know the girl's Jeanne. She comes to school in her brother's shirt And winks at boys and tries to flirt. Perhaps you've heard of the Ulmer lass Who doesn't worry if she will pass. Now we come to sister Joyce Who, of course, is my only choice. Clara Mae Beals is a little shy, But will make the grade if she will try. Dorothy June who is always rarin' Is very fond of Gene Von Behren. Olive Krile, as you know, Will surely find herself a beau. She studies hard the whole day long And merrily sings the Honey Song. Farewell to good old Strasburg High, The Seniors bid you all good-bye. -Gene Hiatt iL QStrasburg Community High Qjchool 1946

l Qhe Hourglass - Jeanne Bridges, pioneer female in engineering, hoped to span the huge canals ,with the latest thing in bridges . This new phenomenon is an invisible bridge, designed so as to preserve scenic beautiy from unnatural mechanisms. June Robison, the well-known orator, planned to study the slanguage and ,dialects of 3Mars. Her career, she feels, depends on the mastery of the ,native speech..Her second intention is to run on the Republican ticket for ,Justice of the Peace-just as soon as she is able to explain to the Martians her political platform. . , . V Q , Butch Doehring'sl reason for trekking Marsward was to organize the Mars Athletic Association Cthe'MAAl. He intended to emphasize basketball-because of the vast possibilities for rebounding. You remember Butch Doehring as that re- markable lad who learned to make field goals before he learned to walk. Red Tull announced that she was to pursue ay scientificstudy of the red atmosphereon red hair. She recently concocted a new type of Shampoo, ,especially for redheads. It is known commercially as Firewater . Miss Tull's close associa- tion lwith Betty White disclosed their intention of exploiting the movie possibili- tiesof the 'tBetty White Scandals . Miss White is at present, America's No. 1 Pin- Up Girl-so called because of her strange up-swing hair-do which requires only a single hair pin to keep it in place. i Ruth Dearman, disappointed in her latest love affair, hoped to put as much space as possiblelbetween herself and the man of her broken dreams. She also decidedto aid Clara'Mae Beals in the writing of her new novel- Mars and the Man .VMiss Beals skyrocketed to Mars in order to obtain authentic local color. Gail Spannagel joined the company to sell subscriptions to the Poultry Magazine to any friendly Martians who would thus help her to get funds for her college educationL Miss Spannagelphas for the past few months been attending an exclusivepagricultural college in Death Valley, California, where she is major'- ing in poultry and minoring in alfalfa. f Bob Ragan had no choice but to become the eighteenth member of this dar- ing adventure. Because his family had reached unheard of proportions, and the housing situation in the states had grown steadily worse, Ragan departed, for Mars to become the first homesteader on the wonder-planet. His family will follow him at av later date. He has informed them quite recently that he has staked out fitaclaim in the western part of the country. His estate will be called the Ragan anc o . A t ,Then trip is purely a colonial venture, a scientific experiment and a project ofexploration. The eighteen souls who have so courageously faced the peril of thepplanetsdeserve ,the highest praise. It' will soon be possible to contact this pioneer party through television. The first in command, Gene Hiatt, broadcasis from Mars thirty times daily, sponsored by the 'Mars Candy Bars. Listen ing his yodeling commercials are something new in advertising. l 6trasburg Community jvfigh School - 1946

Qhe Hourglass S J X, lr if X IUNIOR CLASS POEM I'll skip the introduction, Precise and to the point, And give you information From the good old Junior joint. We're proud of our attendance, For all that started, stayed, And since we've stuck together, We've a good example laid. To bring the first one into view, May I present Jean Lane? Although she is the smallest girl, She studies not in vain. Mary McPherson beats urs all In her fast typing speedy But when it comes to History Class, Ruth Hirtzel's in the lead. As far as Home Ec is concerned, Darlene wins the first place, For she can stitch, and mend, and cook, With confidence and grace. Ruth Bridges and Juanita Storm Can sing with voices skilled, Concerning dates, they worry none- Their nights are always filled. Lorena Bauer likes to joke And make her troubles lightg But Rosabelle Rosine is more Then sentimental type. Ramona Schlechte's next in line, And though she's far from thin- Some people take advantage-But In basketball she'll win. Marilyn Hiatt steps up next, Shestudies and she readsg And when it comes to arguing Sne takes her side and leads! The Reel twins add variety Their names Doris and Dot How they both love to roller skate- But then-Just who does not? Now Don and Pete bring up the rear, The two from the masculine line And everybody wonders- How they get along so fine! Well such is life-each person adds A different kind of style. But the Juniors owe their sure success To the ever-efficient, Miss Diel. -Doris Reel trasburg Community .High Qschool - 1946
