 SENIOR CLASS POEM In the Senior Class of Thirty-five There are thirty-eight students to describe. Each one has a personality new, Which I shall tell in rhyme to you. Ruby has made many sad persons gay— For a smile and a friendly word is her way. Joseph’s ambition is some day to be Somebody’s private secretary. When history reveals the name of Emma Ida, “Her smile made even the sun seem brighter”. To Cyril we give this attribute, A saxophone he sure can toot. In theatricals Paul Bruns is our ideal leading man; He also contributes to our famed High School Band. A good fellow can’t slip by in a crowd, That’s why we’d like to shout “Lowell” aloud. Ray likes sports both indoors and out, And he can’t find a thing to be bashful about. Charles is as peppy as he can be, With a serious touch in the right degree. Lucy can not be surpassed anywhere: Her laughter quickly disperses all care. When you speak of a heart that is pure gold inside, Of consideration for others, of course you mean Clyde. Esther wins many friends day by day, For a soft-spoken word is as welcome as May. Mazena is our best at the typewriter keys. Besides that a knack of putting you at your ease. Atlee is modest, sometimes even shy, In honors he will always rank high. With sky-blue eyes and golden curls, Winifred is one of our ambitious girls. A habit called blushing which creates alarm, Will go down in history as Nelson’s great charm. i Bonnie has friends everywhere that she goes, And a nice disposition, as everyone knows. Eyes in which lurk a mysterious shine, And a dimple thrown in, make Merna divine. At football Daniel is quite a star, He has to his credit a four-year bar. —Page Twenty-six—

Catherine is little, humorous and gay, And she’s always ready for work or for play. For frankness, Claribel is one of the few Who can say what she thinks without making you blue. Charming and gracious to all who are near, Elaine as a friend is a prize very dear. Now Gladys can take you from laughter to tears; For her silvery voice we’ll give her three cheers. Just happy-go-lucky, free from all care, Jimmy won’t worry; he’ll always get there. To be a success, a class must have art, And Evelyn is here to fulfill her part. Beulah has brown eyes that shine very bright, And a keen sense of humor that is a delight. Being a good sport and pleasing everyone, Is only a sample of what Eugene has done. We all want friends, both old and new, We guarantee Geraldine to be always true. Paul isn’t high-hat; he can’t be that way; He’s just one of the fellows you meet every day. Lewis’ unique character few people knew Until his joke column brought hi mto view. Joyce has a dignity that sets him apart; In life this virtue will aid him to start. Herbert believes in an old saying true, “It isn’t your words, but the deeds that you do.” When blending of harmony upon the air floats, Harriette’s capable hands furnish musical notes. Like the fantastic creatures of story-book time, Our Fairy has grace and kindness combined. We issued an ad for one dimpled cheek, June filled out the order in a manner unique. Contagious laughter and soft golden hair, Are the centers of interest when Lenore is there. Edward is quite a studious boy— Yet he finds time for pleasure and joy. In counting the handsome boys of our class, Nolan is one who is hard to surpass. To these words of honor and fame Yours truly gladly signs her name. —VELMA KIMMEL. —Page Twenty-seven—
