Class Poem Sylvia Aubin with her art ability, Carries quite a responsibility. Diane Avery has a way with kids, She helps Mrs. Williams sixth period. David Barney who is quite tall. Sure can throw the basketball. Bonnie Buchanan plays the clarinet well. At Potsdam she always does just swell. Wayne Chamberlain with a friendly smile, Has friends around him all the while. Norman Cisco looks like Pat Boone, So some girl said one noon. Pat Clark, she’s quite a lass, With her neopolitan hair, she sure will pass. Audrey Cramer with her cowboy breeches, hat and boots, Needs only a lassoo to complete her cowboy suit.
