Page Eig In My Book of Memories Somewhere in the book of memories There is a space reserved for these: A louely school, quiet, sedate, My fellow .vruiors who zecrc ncver late, My teachers who had to fathom deep To hnd the brain they hoped to meet. Returning to the beginning of my high school nu moms I see myself with shaking knees Entering the portals of W.H..S. That I was a fresh-man you never would guess. We'll turn the page in my memory hook And give my sophomore year a look Well, not too bad! I'm doing better: I no longer look like an Irish setter. No more woe-begone eyes with wonder in store As I vainly look for the fourth or fifth floor. My marks are improving and that isn't had, If they don't stay that way I'll hear from Dad. What is this on the very n-ext page? Why it seems that I made my junior grade. At last an upperclassmang boy, what a thrill! I'm so happy I ran hardly sit still. Well, low and behold, now don't go and faint But a little old junior I no longer ain't. Alas, though I try with all my might, My l'l'lCIIl0I'Y4'LlIl,1 get English right. At long last we come to the end. I hope it hasn't bored you, my friend. To the students I leave I pass on one thought: You have -to workg knowledge ean't he bought. But what do you know! 1 got through, And surely if I did, you can too. Here on the last line all done in gold. Are great big letters written so hold.

Senior Staff As we prepare to leave our Alma. Mater, we recall the many lasting friendships we have made. Among those we shall always remember are the officers who were elected to lead us through our senior year: Fred Gloeckner, president, with the able assistance of Bob Harris, vice-president, Camille Cutie, secretary, Louis Romeo, treasurerg and Frank Debrick, reporter. These officers were faithful and worked hard and successfully during the year 'to bring our high school days to a happy conclusion. Each one has done his part for his school, but more than that, each one has been a helpful friend to his teachers, associates in other classes and to his brothers and sister of '47. By the members of this great class, these officers will always be remembered. Doi' MGBMN Page Ten
