' 1 V WMU W1 l-1-I The Mgnj0if1 Just like an alarm clock, he's regular, Wound at morning and night, To awake and remind in the morning, Of Time and its speedy flight. Before I pass on to myself, I want to lelate here a few Of the things that Fern has accom- plished, And some of the things she can do. She keeps books with precision and neat- ness, And with all of her schoolmates makes friends, Her grades are always the highest, And to you her best wishes she sends. I sometimes have queer feelings That bother my indigestiong But sometimes too late I recall them When Mr. Wood asks a question. Now, please folks, when you read this, Don't turn to your neighbor and say: I think that nut has gone crazy, And is getting worse every day. Alliteration Bruce-bachelor, backward, brilliant. Dayton-dangerous, doubtfall different. Fern-fair, faithful, famous. Mary-mighty, modest, mysterious. Richard-rash, radiant, romantic. Violet-vain, valuable, venturous. Wilma-wide, willing, worthy. B.

Efggn I The Memoirl Q53 Senior Class Poem Dear friends and good people, You must know by now That to create a year book, Stirs up quite a row, So I'1l give you a hint As to what it containsg It's all about Seniors And you'll find here their names. Now Wilma comes first, Well, yes, I should snore, She shakes all the windows And rattles the door. But never the less, She's a good girl at heart, For she's already ready To do more than her part. Next we'll tell about one Of our bright Senior boys 5 He's always hunting Someone to annoy. His name is R. Gregory, And is capitalized 5 Well, why shouldn't it be, .lust consider his size. While Violet is just the opposite way, While the cats are away, the mice they will playg But that isn't all that I have here to say. She reads her lessons And dreams them at night, And by the next morning She has them all right. Now folks, I know when I say this, That some of my statements are big, But Mary's rules for success Are mainly to get down and dig. We've known her only a short while, But this is sufficient I know, For making a true friend like Mary, To remember when life's tide is low. Dayton, a friend to the friendless, A helper in time of need. I think he'll grow up as a farmer, The cows and the horses to feed. r 5 Page Fourteen Lira -'S' l y4,w,,mu f T, Q, H, 3, . . 1935 1 Uwg

5395590 iThe Memoir 1 -1675? , 'Ei Winnie Senior Class History Twelve long years ago saw a joyous and carefree band of children enter the door of the kindgdom of knowledge. There they stood on the first step, like all children, curious to know what was in the cup called Graduation , which sat upon the top step. Each year they battled with knowledge until they had been in the conflict eight long years. At this time the little group put away their instruments of play and pushed open the door of the ninth step, which read High School. This little band consisted of nine members, Fern, Violet, Bruce, Richard, Wilhel- mina, DeForest, Nathan, Hazel and Thelma. The time Hew swiftly on. We had now gained another step and assumed the name of Sophomoies. During this year we lost two members, Nathan Doty and DeForest Hitchcock, and gained one new member, Dayton Gerber, from Brimfield. The following September we again entered the confiict on the eleventh step of knowledge. Two members, Hazel Bartley and Thelma Ewalt, departed from our band to join a similar band of Peoria High. Wilma Burt from Elmwood High joined our band on this step. The most exciting and remarkable' epoch of our journey has now arrived for we are Seniors and stand on the twelfth step of knowledge with the cup of graduation in our hands. Another member, Wilhelmina Burniga, departed from among usg but we were joined by Mary Boone from the far East. This little band of seven stand on the top step of knowledge, about to separate. Long ago they dropped the title of carefree, but they still hold the ones of joyous and gay- CLASS ROLL Wilma Burt ..,. ......,,................ P resident Violet Quin . . . ,,.........
