CLASS HISTORY There are just two Seniors who still are here Who can tell of additions from year to year. Nancy and Tina are the only two Who from Kindergarten remained true-blue. Together they drove all their teachers berserk As they hurled spitballs and pretended to work. In first grade they learned a magic new word. Since then the word Hhomeworki' is all they have heard The following year they had two things to do. They learned about redskins and 'rithmetic, too. This combination was surely convenient. When they wanted scalps, they were -never too lenient. So when it came time for a quick computation, They made a good use of their multiplication. Cacti and burros were theirs in third grade And memories of Mexico that never will fade. In fourth grade they tried to concern them with stars. Why rings around Saturn?,' or 'eHow far is Mars? By the end of that year they had finished star gazing And went on to fifth grade with plans for roof-raising For that was the year that their group would expand. Artistic Don Homsey then joined their band. After twelve months came Holly, our future math whiz Who seemed to find numbers in no way a quiz. Then .next year came Dave to give Don support. All :were relieved for on males we were short. In stamped Miss Green with eyes staring wide. She plainly was shocked and wanted to hide. I For wheni she once took a good look at the board And saw all the diagrams, she truly was floored. In eighth grade they gave us still two more recruits And the eight of us turned to hi-school pursuits. ,lane joined the girls and Craig tried to, too, But the boys soon explained that it just wouldn't do. Ninth grade brought Charlie and his frustrating skill For proving you wrong against your own will. The succeeding year we were fourteen in all As we took our new seats in the old Study Hall. Marian came first with a grin a mile wide. Then Gail and Sandy sticking close side by side.

John the Magician land he's one in Trig.l Came dragging his slide rule. his faithful colleague. And then therels Bill F. whom we mustnlt forget. He has hardly a worry and never a fret. 'Twas after New Year's when Annie decided That sheld like the 'igangw-and she wasnlt misguided. For the very next summer, all happy and gay, Marian took off for the land of Norway. The class got together and planned a surprize To give her some gifts that she might utilize. Such as Brown's Chaw Tobaccy and Mother Silks Pills: The latter to carekfor her seagoing ills. lAnd when she came back, she had tales to tell Of little Norwegians and sailors as well.l Then, off to the Club to hear the band play 'Tho Annie and Dave got lost on the way. After a year, Marian left on a run. For a while we mourned and all felt quite glum. But Dick then came in to keep spirits high Until she returned in the near by-and-by. Bill and Mary Ann followed close on his tail And together they kept us from all going stale. In March we toured Washington-good education. In June a big Prom-not a sensation. To top off that year Nancy offered to take The whole dog-gone group to Rehobeth to bake. Although we had planned to remain just one day, When asked for the night, we could but obey. Then we sadly returned in gloomy September , And who should we find but our wandering member.. Marian had come back with a will of her own - And a brand new expression-precisely Oh, groan! When we finally surrendered ourselves to routine, We commenced to make plans for the 6'Best 'Evergreen. In respect to this yearbook, you'd often hear Can it. Should it ever reach Boston, they'd probably ban it. Now we're all waiting to get into college Thatls where weill add to our Tower Hill knowledge. At the end of the year with diploifnas in hand We still have our memories at our command.
