Now I would like to have you meet, The members of our class, who are hard to beat. Phyllis is a girl who seems so quiet, But when she gets started there's really a riot. To some school seems very dull, But when Alvin's around there's never a lull. Gerry's enthusiastic and full of fun, To keep up with her you'll have to run. Jerry played in all the sports, He's hardly ever out of sorts. Donna's a girl who sure likes candy, If you need some help, she's always handy. X

Bev Fairman is a very friendly lass, She doesn't need to worry if she's going to pass. Gwen Fleming was our cheer leader, It would take the very best to beat her. Gerald drives a bright red and white car, In getting good grades he is a star. Fred's little verses don't go to his head, But to school lessons, he prefers a bed. In Faith you'll find a friend always, If you need her, she always stays. Caroline and Donna, fast friends are they, They're always together in work and in play. Laugh and the world laughs with you, This is a saying Duane's has found to be true. Jean Main is so little and sweet, To have her as your friend is quite a treat. Bob likes to eat best of all, He even does it in study hall. Larry makes sure he studies his history. But where he gets a book is a mystery. Duane is one of the farmers of our class, He's not very often seen with a lass. Dick is a friendly sort of guy, When you get to know him he's not so shy. Marty can draw and write poetry, too, She is a girl who never seems blue. Bruce Peterson is quite a swell guy, Around the girls he's rather shy. In agriculture Arthur does shine, In band he also does quite fine. Some call her Peggy, some Margaret, Her forensics experience she'll never forget. Carl's interests seem to lie far away, He thinks school lessons just don't pay. Some people never have a dull moment so they say, In our class Shirley Ruef's that way. Jake Schlittler has a very big heart, He's always willing to do his part. Many a good time Bill has seen, Maybe it's study that makes him grow lean. Diane isn't so very shy, She's happiest when she's with a guy. Jerry loves to drive his car, He prefers it to study by far. - Peggy Staffeld came to us last year, Her presence has brought us more fun and good cheer
