Esmeralda is owned by Vic, To ride in her will give you a kick. Every day after English IV, Theresa Waits right at the door. Mathematics came easy to James Norris, I Wish they did for some more of us. The latest in fashions has Virginia Geis, She always has everything so very nice. Herman Ohlendorf is the one VVho fills our Annual full of fun. Hazel Hansen, quiet and shy, In typing doesn't even have to try. Raymond Nelson aspires to be A dignified ofiicer of the sea. Virginia Haynes is a capable lass She'll do all tll2lt7S possible to help her class. Harold Von Qualen is pretty smart, Physics and chemistry were just a lark. Edna Landers has the ambition To acquire a nurse's position. Ruel Hoffman, with his chewing-gum Doesn't mean any harm, it's just for fun. Next comes Mable, yvith hair that curls, She's one of the steady Hiking Club girls. Then comes La Verne with his perpetual smile Itgs there always-not once in a While.
