SCHOOL DAZE, Many moons ago, so we are told, Seventy Freshies started out quite bold. Mrs. Weigel saw them, the cherubs dear. She said, "Come, some motherly ad vice to hear." Happily they skipped along their way— Thirty Sophomores light and gay. Mrs. Detrick spied them one autumn day, And told them of the Philippines so far away. Up the stairs twenty-eight Juniors wearily climbed Because they didn't want to get left behind. Miss Morse welcomed them in to shoot the breeze, There they learned of the camp of the Japanese. Jimmie Parker Delores Racehorse Barney Hyde 29 The Senior girls are attending shop one hour each morning that they are in their special vocational classes.

Senior Class Poem When the Navajos came to join their band, From the far-away, fair, and sunny land, With a royal welcome they gave them a home A.nd now, as Seniors, they set out to roam. The old book room called number nine To the Senior tribe looked mighty fine, With primrose ceiling and walls of blue, Their room, dear Juniors, they leave to you. Now seventeen Seniors have finished four long years And they leave you all with regrets and tears, We hope that not too far they'll stray To come back for a "Howdy" some fine summer day.
