ADVICE TO DERGRAD ATE By Thomas JHcC0rmicle Beware! all you, and pass this not, For here's advice filled full of thought. We have decided what to say And picked out those whom it would pay To heed us well and not turn by, For listen, you, it's do or die! Oh Norma Jean, do look around, For soon your Jeff will not be found. Young Dennis Coon, we you must warn It doesn't pay a girl to scorn. Now, Walter Gower, to you we say, Bow ties are good but not always. And Irene French, you little Hower, A hint to you, don't look so dour. Oh please, Anna Counos, our back's to the wall, So won't you slow down in your pace through the hall? For Jerry Waine, we're forced to admit, We've no advice, not even a bit. But oh to the man with the pretty curl, Please, Eddie Brooks, stick to one pretty girl. To all you fellows short on dough, Forget the girls, the percentage is low. Well, here's Dick Martin without any butts, We pass him by, don't even say nuts. Oh please, Bill Raymond, don't stay home, Get out with the girls and start to roam. Of Bob Letourneau we don't hear so much, So put her in gear and let out the clutch. Watch out, Miss Johnston, in lab next year, That breeze at the door? Bob Corwell is here! Oh Shirley Dennis, with that boogie beat, Please play some moreg it's pretty neat. To Warren Hamm we say don't worry, The war's not done, no need to hurry. Now Mary Nye, what word for you? You seem to excel in all you do. Please, Tommy Swainbank, do not roar, For Gene will come with the key to the door. Need we say more to Lorraine Brown Than Keep that smile, forget to frown ? Oh Sanford Brigham, tote that ball With wings on your feet this coming fall. Oh Leslie Williamson, I want to be there When you and Betty are linked as a pair. Say Nancy Kern, just stop that giggle, And in assembly forget to wiggle. Now all you whom advice we've given, Heed it well lest hearts be riven. If friends turn 'way and pass you by, No wave of hand or friendly Hi, Advice you've spurned without a glance, Friendships will die without a chance. S0 heed us well and don't turn by, Remember now, it's do or die. I Q H C Q ' l C Page Thirteen
