Hail the ‘’Forty-Niners”’ Flying white and royal blue, With colors no where finer We're displaying them for you. Our school days slowly dwindling, Our books are ripped and torn, Some are used for kindling, The rest are all forlorn. Let's look into the future And see what we can find Is going to happen to The class of 49”. Janice Shultz, stenographer, Has gained such great success, Robert Girardot mastered physics And teaches at W. H. S. Robert Crooks is a Doctor And not too good, you'll find, For “Pete’’ DeWitt, who is his wife, Keeps him way behind. Admiral Marks, our navy man, Has sailed the seven seas, And Frances Owen, nature artist, Is painting birds and bees. Douglas Speer, Insurance man, Is in his father’s shoes, And Lee Muzzillo, arctic explorer, Has got the arctic blues. — Now Lee Grate, bless his heart, Has joined the Foreign Legion, And Bill Patterson is making beds, Up in the Polar Region. As for Fee and Shull, They're doing all right. She stays home, with the kids, While he goes out at night. June Smith is married now, She never did get to college, She married '’Al’’ from St. Joe And forgot about knowledge. CLASS POEM 17 ‘Rosie’ Myers, a singer, Always was off key, Now she’s got a harmonica, And a banjo on her knee. Walt Deetz, the eager beaver, Owns four filling stations, Florence Shady’s gone to Russia To study foreign relations. Eleanor Cobbs has gone to college, To learn all the ‘“know-hows”, DuVern Carnahan is waiting on her, Patiently milking his cows. Duke” Williams, the shy guy, Who thought school was too much bother, Stays at home reading his book On “How To Be A Father”. Jean Shumaker, Senior Queen, Has married “Sam, at last. Barbara Camp has an office job And she cannot be surpassed. Harley Cobbs has fallen in love, With little Mary Brown, Forrest Rudolph, Mary’s beau, Is hunting Harley down. Loren Bowers, the Rubber Man, Is in the County Fair, Jacqueline Noirot is an opera singer And it's really hard to bear. Charlotte and I are happy, I haven't heard one complaint, She never wanted to marry a poet, And I tell you truly, I ain't. —Marvin Geeting

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Twelve years ago, the present senior class, with bright expectant faces, presented itself to the first grades of various schools to delve into the mysteries of Readin’, Ritein’, and Rithmatic. -Of the. thirty-four first graders who started here in ‘37 only nine, Robert Crooks, Janice Shultz, Walter Deetz, Marvin Geeting, June Smith, Raymond Fee, Robert Girardot and Douglas Speer, have remained to the end. The rest of the present senior class joined these, either in the grades, or in high school. After going through the usual trials and tribulations of elementary students —quarrels, pranks and punishments, appearing in concerts, scrubbed and shining in new white dresses and ribbons, long pants and bow ties; we finally entered Junior High School, wit h Mr. Shore and Mr. McIntosh as our teachers. We started our high school year with an enrollment of forty-six eager freshmen, full of enthusiasm and extreme ideas, which our new teacher, Mr. Leslie, immediately curbed and directed into the right channels. There were many new faces among us that year. Our sophomore year was another which we enjoyed to the fullest. Those numerous class parties and roller skating parties which we sponsored were informative as well as enjoyable. Our teacher Miss Yoder was full of strictness as well as a lot of fun. When we came to school as juniors, we missed several old faces. During this year we edited the school paper, “Through The Keyhole” and also gave a most successful Junior-Senior Reception under the sponsorship of Mrs. Voss. The songs of Max Lovett, were divine, and OH! what lovely dresses! Also we were guilty of giving the play, ‘Don’t Darken My- Door’ during our junior year. In September, as seniors we entered school with a new dignity befitting our classification. This year our biggest job was to edit the year book, ‘’The Rosebud.’ We produced a play ‘Here Comes Charlie” under the direction of Virgil Graber. Also several paper drives throughout the year has been a source of our funds. We will always be grateful to our parents and teachers for making it possible for us to arrive at this juncture of our educational career. 16

CLASS HISTORY In September, 1938, thirty-one shy pupils entered the first grade of the Waterloo Schools where Miss Bickel was our teacher. Miss Wisner and Miss Hamman guided us through the second and third grades. All of us are indebted to Miss Dirrim and Mr. Messmore who lent us a helping hand through the fourth and fifth grades. Mr. Gurtner was our teacher in the sixth grade while Mr. Shore served as our instructor in the seventh. Finally, Mr. McIntosh taught us in the eighth grade where our class consisted of twenty-nine pupils. Our class, whose enrollment had now increased from twenty-nine to forty-five, entered the freshman class with Mr. Leslie as our sponsor. A year later our class became sophomores with an enrollment of thirty-eight and Miss Allman served as our home room teacher. Arriving in the junior year, our class was now composed of thirty-five pupils. Mr. Graber was our faculty advisor for the year. Our class enjoyed a hayride, a skating party, and a house party. In order to raise money for the annual Junior-Senior Reception, the junior class sponsored the school concession stand. The juniors also produced a play during the month of March. Thus, our junior year was a busy one filled with hard work, but it is one always to be remembered.
