PAGE 22 Senior Class History On September 9, 1940, eighteen of the present Senior Class presented themselves to Miss Getts of the first grade and demanded an education. Miss Wisner and Miss Hamman guided us through the second and third grades. Miss Dirrim, Mrs. Kuehn, and Mr. Gurtner helped us through the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. We were under the guidance of Mr. Shore and Mr. McIntosh in junior high. We started our freshman school year with an enrollment of forty-one. Mr. Leslie was our faculty advisor. Our sophomore year was another year which we enjoyed very much. We sold Christmas cards and stationery to raise money. We were very proud when we purchased our red and white sweaters. Mrs. Reed and Mr. Shideler acted as our faculty advisors. During our junior year we presented our class play, “Bolts and Nuts,” under the direction of Mr. Long with Mr. Buesking acting as our faculty advisor. In order to raise money for our senior trip we sponsored the school concession stand. That year we also purchased our class rings. As seniors we had an enrollment of thirty-one. “The Monkey’s Uncle” was a smash hit under the direction of Mr. Long. We sponsored several paper drives to raise money for the Rosebud and senior trip to Washington, D. C. Mr. Bowers helped with the Rosebud and Mr. Dove acted as faculty advisor. Phyllis Hissong, Class Historian “The Monkey's Uncle’ Gary Abershaw, handsome young architect and eligible bachelor, has invited his foster nephew, Tommy Piper, to spend the coming school year with him. Gary has never seen Tommy’s eighteen-year-old sister, Bonnibel, and his mean stepfather, Sam Higgins. Gary plans to adopt Tommy and decides he must marry in order to provide his son with a suitable mother. He invites two candidates for that position to spend the week-end—a young widow, Lili Dazell, and his secretary, Rhonda Yates—much against the advice of his lovable, Negro housekeeper, Aunt Dosie. Unknown to Gary, Sam Higgins is trying to force Bonnibel to marry his half-baked son, Milo, in hopes of getting her property in his hands. She runs away and arrives at Gary’s, dressed in Tommy’s clothes and carrying a pet skunk, creating a perfect furor! Bonnibel, head over heels in love with Gary, determines no other woman shall marry him. Accordingly, she plays all manner of monkey tricks on her rivals, Lili and Rhonda. With the aid of her pet skunk, Sweet William, Bonnibel thwarts her enemies, routs Sam Higgins and Milo, and finally captures the man of her heart and ends the play in a whirlwind finale.

Class Poem Alfred likes his motorcycle, that is true; If you don’t watch out, he’ll run over you. Gloria’s man is from Tri-State; We know that someday marriage will be her fate. Though Carol’s heart is sad and lonely, She will always wait for her one and only. Chuck, the Vice, whose past is not clear, Takes over the work when the president’s not here. Eugene is a lad who was here every day; He kept coming and coming and couldn’t stay away. When we put our government books away to keep, Bill will not know it for he will be asleep. Life is the sentence Delbert’s booked, Cause his wife has got him hooked. When it comes to sportsmanship, You'll find Edison’s name tops the list. Shirley’s cooking might not be grand; But when it came to hunting, she found her man. Roscoe’s tomato crop was fine; And we find that in the ag. field he really shines. As Tom Rynearson hails from the farm, Studying government does him no harm. When it come to speeches, call on Tom Mohr, Because in this he really scores. Dorsey’s a hero—a hero so tall; He became famous by playing basketball. Betty is bashful, quiet, and shy; She plans on marrying by and by. Phyllis, our historian, is cheery and bright; Doesn’t like government but says bookkeep- ing’s all right. Stan is a lad so stern and sound; Most of his trips are Corunna-bound. Bev Boren with eyes so bright and hair so brown Is one gal who really gets around. Anna Bell, who likes to sew, Will soon be making her own trousseau. Bev Zerkle, who is small and tiny, Goes around thi nking that she’s mighty. Betty is married to a sailor so true; When he’s not around, my! is she blue. When a Ford goes down the street, Look out! Shuman’s in the driver’s seat. Margie will soon be going to college, But without her Butch—What’s KNOWLEDGE? Life may be tough in our town, But Ned doesn’t let it get him down. Max is longing for the 22nd of May, Cause he’ll no longer have to stay. Aletha’s plans are to be a secretary, And in future years she hopes to marry. George’s little blue Ford goes down the street; I bet it’s Nancy he’s off to meet. Mary Ellen as bashful and oh so shy; Just give her time and she’ll catch a guy. When it comes to schooling, Larry has no fear; But if you want him to jump, just holler “Speer.” Nancy is going to I. U. to be a nurse; If they turn her down, nothing could be worse. I, Lois Laderman, am not a poet; You needn’t bother telling me, for I already know it. Citizen’s State Bank, Waterloo PAGE 21
