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
