lor physician, DR. J. D. HANKE with his black mustache, still repeating that familiar phrase, 'Uhfortunate, most un- fortunate' and, by the way, he is still experimenting with explosives so explo- sions are nothing new to him.

SENIOR POEM Four years ago in '57 We came as freshmen here And now this year of '41 Sees us leaving our school so dear. We hope that every class, Now here and those to come, Will have as we, sweet memories Of classmates and lots of fun. These four years we'l1 not forget No matter where we go Nor what we do, nor whom we meet For we have loved them so. Something about each teacher Is well marked on our mind And I'm sure we'l1 all agree They're as good as we could find. Every one of our classmates Will have come significance We'll remember them in our class plays And the fun we had at our dance. Now this is our last year Q Fl!!! 9 And the thought makes us somewhat sad. To think that we'll ne'er again return COh there may be some of us gladj But on the whole the most of us Will miss the daily walk As with our friends we come each day To study, laugh, and talk. Next year these halls will miss us And maybe you will, too. We too will miss this grand old school And are sad to bid farewell to you. Millie-Marie Collins
