Senior Class Poem

The Senior Class of '40
Are descending on life's road
Now it's up to them
What they choose for their abode.

Life is full of hard knocks
For which we have to prepare
We don't want to be napping
And let them catch us unaware!

We'll meet all sorts of people
Some good, some bad, 'tis true
We'll see some with that beaten look
He's had some hard knocks too.

Life is what we make it;
We know the wrong from right,
If we're working towards a goal
We won't give in without a fight.

We had a pleasant journey
All these years in school,
But now are going into life
Where we're governed by stronger rule.

Every class has a motto
Which it relies upon,
Though our school life may be over,
It's "Not Evening, But Dawn."

history

Seventeen, bashful, green freshman found their way up the stairs of Tingley High School in September 1936. When these bashful freshman saw the great big assembly they thought they were lost, and wondered what was going to happen to them. These seventeen freshman: Naomi WEEDA, Phyllis MORRISON, Waye MORRISON, Doris WERNER, Rosetta RUSH, Berlee BROWN, Howard SWANSON, Warren GILES, La Vern MARLER, Harold BALL, Jeannie BRECKENRIDGE, Louise SMITH, Nellie GROSE, Mac BEEN, Marabelle BEEN, Reva ESTEL, and Kenneth McCOWEN struggled through one year together. These coutry girls Naomi, Phyllis, Waye, Doris, Rosetta, and Berlee looked like green horns. Howard, Warren, and La Vern were three little bashful country boys who had just woke up from a good night's sleep.

After going through one year together some of our classmates decided our school was not good enough for them, and some from other schools thought Tingley might be the best. We had the sad news of Berlee BROWN'S death, which took one of our dear classmates away from us. Reva decided this climate was too hot and dry for her, so she went up North where the roses always bloom. Mac BEEN decided we were too smart for him, so he quit school to help his dad cut hair. Marabelle BEEN thought life would be much better in Des Moines around the Capital, so she quit school and went to work where all the sick people go. Nina BUTTERFIELD joined our class and finished the sophomore year with us but decided that married life suited her best. Robert McGEHEE found that Tingley was the town with all the pretty girls so he joined our class as a sophomore. Opal HILLEBRAN transferred schools from Beaconsfield to Tingley and was a welcome classmate.

Marjorie ELLISON also joined our class in the sophomore year but did not stay long.

Fifteen students enrolled in with the Jolly Juniors. Rosetta RUSH decided to finish her high school career at Mount Ayr. George MATHES joined the Junior class but difficulties arose and he was forced to quit. Howard SWANSON was forced to leave school in the middle of the year because of an infected knee. Kenneth McCOWEN went to Clarinda.

By the time we were dignified seniors our class was much smaller. Robert McGHEE due to an accident, was unable to be with us in our senior year. Doris WERNER was married. Paul BUCK joined our class and was graduated at the end of the first semester. 10 Seniors were graduated on May 17, 1940.

sr play

The Senior Class presented a three act comedy of life. "Baby Steps Out" directed by Mrs. John B. Worley, on Friday evening, May 10, at 8:00 o'clock F. Me at the theatre.

The girls were only half of the fun; the boys, Dean GARLAND, Raymond BALL, Russell BOYD, Harold SMITH, Floyd BORRUSH, Donald GROUT were dressed as "little boys". Their trousers were turned wrong side out, the legs of the trousers were rolled up to their knees. These boys were made up to look like Indians.
