CU Prod ropFiecy The night was clear, the stars shone bright— But the moon—My what a vivid sight! It seemed much larger than ever before As the “man in the moon” opened the door. I closed my eyes, a vision behold! There were my Senior friends so proud and so bold: Heaton leads first—Captain of the group; At other times he’s barker of a circus troup. Cecil A., a bubble-gum salesman—(we knew it!) While Vi and the kids stay home and chew it. Gerald Barnett, a swaggering insurance guy— Then Betty Lou and hubby trying to see eye to eye. Evan—President!—president of the “Lonely Heart Club.” Behind him—George Vassar, selling “Cure-all Rub.” Helen Crosiant Oiler—Still Helen Crosiant Oiler. Then Pat, holding Wesley, Jr. by the collar. There is Bob Woods, on a good will tour And La Vena imitating Dotty La—Moor! It seems Twila G. has changed her name While Virginia L. and Wilma R. did the same. To see Jim Pollock as—hum-m, was I surprised! A new thing-a-ma-jig he has devised! There’s Jo Anne Morris doting over her priceless jewels, As Juanita M. brags about her ten swimming pools. Dorothy West is now traveling back East And “Moe” Nelson’s the chef at the Annual Governor’s Feast. Braley now dances! (He took Fred Astaire’s place.) James Glaze, a missionary to some heathen race. It’s now “Stella Dallas” alias Neva June, Who really makes the amateurs swoon! J. T., a biologist with world-wide fame, And Dortha an old maid—Oh! what a shame! Larry (the artist) now slaves on the railroad While Roberta Buss is inventing a new Morse code. Phyllis Atwell’s still chasing—cats, that is! Eldred drives a Cadillac—no, it’s not his! Mary Alice is playing the same old game. Royetta is companion to some old dame. Beck, a rich banker, (we should have known). Nada Jane still has her bell . . . telephone. Arlen and Orchestra are still around. Norval Clifford, head of a big dept.—“The Lost and Found.” You heard about Angeline—You know—“Naughty Angeline?” Keith Scates’ latest song is “Rhythm on the Rhine” A cute little Powers Model is Dorothy Chance. Marva Adkins is away—shopping in France! Dixie Geddes, a school teacher—(had to get one in somewhere!) Pat Timken is still the most popular and fair. James Matthews has stolen Joe Louis’s title. Billie McDaniel Loghry will soon give a recital. An interior decorator is Virginia Haines. Bill Mancillas is experimenting on “How to Improve Brains.” Billie Teten’s employed as midget of Barnum Bailey. Marie Crosiant, Reporter on the “All-News Daily.” Rosa Lee is very proud of her pure bred Spitz. Mary Ellen, a fortune-teller, known as Madam Zitz. Joyce Jones, in Hollywood is a star! Bill Chalmers was finally admitted to the bar. Verna, Mary Osburn, Imogene, and Eva Mae Make up the U. S. Quartette—music they convey! Anna Ruth, charming hostess for Quick-Trip Airlines. Doris Reed is head of a big soup company (Heinz) While Phylis Ayers is chief librarian at the Carnegie, Virgil’s in jail for owing his Senior Class Fee. Bonnie Reynolds is a well-known seamstress for Trego’s While Mildred Perrin models the latest nylon hose. Harold Lowrey auctioneers (going, going, gone.) on Hit Parade And for her poor health, Ellen Crane drinks Kool-Aid! Wanita now has twins of her own,— That’s why Bonita works in Wanitas home. Ronald Glaze ushers at “The Big Bijou” And Mary Meyer was in the last “Who’s Who.” Then I opened my eyes—there I made a mistake! For I didn’t get to see what Lou Dan Ogden would make. The class of ’48 gone on before— As the “man in the moon” softly closed the door.
