Yearbook Editorial Staff
Alan Kimball, Editor of the original "hard copy" version of the 1957 Panther,
and creator of this electronic version,
dedicates this world-wide-webpage to Mrs. Frank P. (Alma) Sargent,
BA, Sterling College,
MA, University of Denver.
In the year 1956, she was the first person I ever heard use the word
"cybernetics".
Never say "uh", never say "you know", and never begin with an apology
Here she stands with her debate squad
The great teacher in the film "Billy Elliot" could have been modeled on her
[first 45 seconds of this
FILM clip suggest something of why].
Some materials in anticipation of
the 55th reunion of the class of 1957,
May 12, 2012
Class of 57
The Statler Brothers
Tommy's selling used cars,
Nancy's fixing hair,
Harvey runs a grocery store and
Margaret doesn't care.
Jerry drives a truck for Sears and
Charlotte's on the make, And
Paul sells life insurance and part time real estate.
Helen is a hostess,
Frank works at the mill,
Janet teaches grade school and prob'ly always will.
Bob works for the city and
Jack's in lab research, And
Peggy plays organ at the Presbyterian Church.
And the class of '57 had it's dreams,
Oh, we all thought we'd change the world with our great works and deeds.
Or maybe we just thought the world would change to fit our needs,
The class of '57 had it's dreams.
Betty runs a trailer park,
Jan sells Tupperware,
Randy's on an insane ward,
Mary's on welfare.
Charlie took a job with Ford,
Joe took Freddie's wife,
Charlotte took a millionaire, and
Freddie took his life.
John is big in cattle,
Ray is deep in debt,
Where Mavis finally wound up is anybody's bet.
Linda married Sonny,
Brenda married me,
And the class of all of us is just a part of history.
And the class of '57 had it's dreams,
But living life day to day is never like it seems.
Things get complicated when you get past eighteen,
But the class of '57 had it's dreams.
Oh, the class of '57 had it's dreams.
