Epitaphs of the Departing Seniors Loosen up your smiles, Spend some good laughs On these silly inscriptions, Called epitaphs. I’ve been chased by teachers; Hounded by wolves; But I’ll worry no more Down here with moles. BLANCHE RAPP. Here I lie so quiet and still Under the ground against my will But now I can afford to wait Because I’m nearing the Pearly Gate. LOUISE MOORE. May Vincent rest at ease Who in life was known as a tease. VINCENT SCOTT. Boo! Boo! I had the flu, And there was nothing else to do. ADALINE DOUGLAS. St. Peter beckoned from on High That it was time to come, So I had to die— Ho-Hum! Ho-hum! Ho-hum! BOB BLAND. Plant a weeping willow over me That I may hear it groan, So that I’ll never miss My husband’s daily moan. JEAN PYLE. Way, way up on High, Higher than the sun, I’m a little angel now Who doesn’t have to run. MARY WITTKUGLE. I thought that I should like A night without an end, But since I am down here, I’ve changed my mind, dear friend. MARY JO MARTIN. I came home too late one night, Saw old Nick and died of fright. PAT COOL. Fair of face, so happy and free. They buried her 'neath an apple tree, She had eaten an apple all too green, And never again alive was she seen. JENNIE WHITE. Hair so blonde, Face so pale, She had one beau. And that was Dale. JANE DURHAM. Naughty, am I, Bob Scott, Cut classes a lot Until John me caught, And made it hotter than hot. And now I lie in a grave yard lot. BOB SCOTT. In life so still Was our Or-Ville, But now I bet he’s stiller yet. ORVILLE DAVIS. Let W. J. roar and rave Because we can’t even hear Way down deep in the grave Within a copper bier. SENIOR BOYS. I tried to swim the creek But my heels were too heavy; One morn they found me Floating near the levee. ELSIE LIGHTLE. Life no longer she courts, The waitress, Clara Schwartz. She passed away One summer day From drinking milk by the quarts. CLARA SCHWARTZ. Pause, dear friend, as you pass by To shed a tear and have a sigh. Tenderly drop a flower On the grave of Betty Bauer. BETTY BAUER. A fiery gal was the great Claytor, ■Proclaimed herself a man hater, Until Alex Lazarr did date ’er, And then to him she did cater. NORMA JEAN CLAYTOR. Black was his hair, Fiercly gleamed his eye, Lordly was his air, My, how he did hate to die. EARL STRICKLAND. Beneath the green and velvet grass, Lies the president of our glass. He fought with Dale over Jane And now he’s aboard the heavenly train. WILLARD WILBURN. Do not weep for Mary Jo, Who for earth was far too bright. The angels took her above Where there’ll be no more night. MARY JO JONES.

THE ALUMNI Classes 1943 through 1946 will be honored in the appropriate setting of the newly remodeled Lake White Club when the Alumni Banquet is held May 17. Inasmuch as there has been no Alumni Banquet for four years, due to the war, this year’s banquet promises to be one of the most colorful social events in the history of school activities. The officers, Madison I. Irwin, president, Madalyn B. Hollberg, secretary, and Richard M. Miller, treasurer, urge all Waverly High School graduates to attend the banquet and become an active member of this association composed entirely of you, the WHS graduate. Much credit is given to Miss Margaret Buell who as secretary kept the organization alive during the war years. Each year she enrolled the graduating class and collected nominal fees. Now at her retirement the Alumni is able to carry on its regular activities.
