OUR CLASS POEM Audrey Bennett is smart as can be, • She’s known for her big brown eyes: When she wrote that essay on “Corn,’ She was on top with first prize. Delores Berg has lots of brains, W« don't have to take a poll. It s no wonder then, is there. That she hits the honor roll. Marilyn Brownell's acting is good. Her marks are really super: But giggling Is her greatest trait— That's really super duper. To play the piano is Audrey’s hobby, And giggle the hours away. A better friend you cannot find, If you like to laugh and play. Robert Carscn plays the accordian, And his playing is all right. His gal told me. and I’ll agree, He plays the best a’ night. Wayne Denny is quite a farmer. They say farming really pays: But he doesn't seem to think sc. He says. Nothing pays these days. Bob is our good humor man. The girls he always picks on. Now of all the Bobbies in our class. You can bet this one is Dixon. Now we come to Pauline Engel. She has but one desire, Ans that is to Uke Nelson’s heart, And set it on fire. Ronald Ferson is Ihe handsome man. He’s cuter than all get out; And when he pitches his curve ball. He makes the batter strike out. Ellen Ann Frisbie is really a chunk. Her mama fed her Kix. But she'll never be sunk. Because she really clicks. Arlene Gathje is quite a gal. She’d do anything for some fun. When she sees Tommy go down the street. She’s ready with her gun. Ronald Gathje is Arlene’s brother. In sports he is a honey; But unimpressed is Arlene. F. r she likes him for his money. Merlin Halstead is everyone’s pal. He’s as bright as the stars above him; But oil he ever wants in life. Is for Dorothy Rud to love him. When Elman Hanken gets the car, To Rochester he’ll go. To get his one and only gal, And take her to a show. The beauty of our class is Jean. Yes, Jeanie with the light brown hair. If you know her you can plainly see, Why the boys all stop and stare. Paul Jordan is a soda jerk. His nickname is Oogie. He’d rather do the Flying Dutchman, Than try the Boogie Woogie. Doris really gets around. Sometimes it makes us shudder. Every night she has a date. And I don’t mean with her brudder. For track we call on Michael Keefe. He’s the fastest on his feet. He doesn’t need a Mercury ’Cause he’s a guy that can’t be beat. The silver tongued orator, Roger Kvam. Makes speeches in every field; But when it comes to women. His heart will not yield. Dorothy Lyman is our Golden Throat. She sings like a Nightingale. She plans on going tc music school. And we know she will not fail. Anne McNeil has a man. His name’s not Smith or Johnson. All I can say, and that ain’t hay, Is that he lives in Wisconsin. Tommy Moran is always working To make this a better school. You’ll never find him down town. Playing a game of pool. If you are in a tizzy About your future fate. Just ask Robert Nelson What is costs to operate. Here’s on»' Hornetcming Queen. Her name in Donna Peters. She’s really awfully pretty, That’s why Ronnie runs to meet her. Joanne Renken is quite a gal. Stardom is her ambition. But nevertheless, we’ll surely bet, She’ll wind up in the kitchen. Mary had a little lamb. His name was Wesley Glover. And every where that Mary went. Glover was sure to love her. Robert Rud is our Rock Dell boxer. His Golden Gloves are fast. When we see him on the canvas. We wonder how long he’ll last. Ruth Scharberg is a quiet girl. Typing is her profession. And when she has to type for Kvam. She makes a good impression. When Roger Simpson comes around The girls all run like heck, ’Cause all he ever wants to do. Is neck, and neck, and neck. Norbert Schroeder is our man. If he can’t do it no one can. In basketball he’s really great. He cculd take on any state. Hair of gold, eyes of blue. Lips like cherry wine. This describes our Millie, And brother that’s no line. Marilyn Tolstead can’t be beat When it comes to jokes. If she’s that way all the time, I feel sorry for her folks. Wayne Ware, better known as “Weanie, Is a champ on roller skates. I guess that explains in full Where he gets all his dates. For personality we have LaVone Her mind is in the air. A nicer hostess you couldn’t find, If you looked everywhere. Georgia Weber is known For those great big smiles. For one of those each day, I’d walk a million miles.

Gla±i . . . Father Time has never had a chance to get acquainted with the class of '49 even though his first contact with us was on a tragic day in September. 1945. On that day forty eager (butgreen) freshmen tripped gayly into the cheerful assembly. Oh happy day! They elected Miss By ram, advisor: Robert Dixon, president; Anne McNcal. vice-president; Donna Peters, secre- tary; and Jean Jordan, treasurer. Then came the great day of Initiation. It was a day that will always be remembered From that day the weeks went by fast, and Father Time soon fell behind. Then we were Sophomores. This time as we entered the assembly it wasn’t quite so cheerful and the gay tripping wasn't so much like tripping but like tripping. However, we had gained two new members. This year coach of our team was Miss Byram; with Roger Kvam as captain, along with Dorothy Lyman, Donna Mae Peters, and Beverly Egen in the back field. All in all the game that year was a successful one. Then came 1947. We were the outstanding class of the year (we said). We elected Mrs. Kelly master of our ship, with Ronnie Gathje guiding us in the wheel position, with some spokes who were Beverly Egen, Donna Mae Peters, and Joan Jordan. We put on two successful class plays which brought in quite a bit of cabbage, (money, that is). With this we put on one of the best proms in the high school history under the direction of Mr. Stoefen, who became class advisor upon Mrs Kelly’s departure. Seniors! We strutted into the assembly with our nose up, as we sneered at the freshmen. Huh! I guess they knew who we were. We were Seniors! We chose Mr. Stoefen to direct our activities, assisted by Ronald Gathje as president. Robe:’. Dixon as vice-president. Donna Mae Peters as secretary, and Jean Jordan as treasurer. This year we had an annual, class play, class day. picnic, commencement and the prom. All are events that are to be looked back on for years to come. We have finished the race with 35 members and we are going forward with Father Time We. the Senior Class of 1949. of Stewartville High School, in the Village of Stewartville, in the County of Olmsted, State of Minnesota, being of 35 memoers, all of sound body and disposing mind and memory and not acting, do make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament before we leave this learned institution.
