CLASS POEM By Louise Fears and Pauline Ray First on our class roll is Nell Blackburn, A quiet shy little girl of eighteen. Who some day, will make some guy— A sweet lovely queen. Next on the roll comes Helen Bradford: Who is very neat; and oh boy! Her cooking can’t be beat Next comes James Allen Broughton. Very hateful, altho we like him well. And some girl’s love, he’ll win some day: Her name, we’re afraid to telL Oh look! who’s here, Katherine Campbell, Very quiet and shy, and can she wink; My, yes! just watch her eye. Now its Elbert Cobb who falls in line; Pretty sweet and mighty fine. He is very nice and very neat— His personality can’t be beat This is William Cope, I think— He doesn’t know a bathtub from a sink. He’s very little and loud. And of a certain girl is he proud! Next is Tom Boyd Cornelison, With his friendly ways— He’ll use his art. Forever, with Louise Glaze. Louise Fears is next in line. Though her sweetheart’s in the Army And she is left behind— She works at M. Wards to earn a thin dime; And to show to the world it is futile to pine. There’s J. D. Harris, he’s never embarrassed, He’s little and low and oh! oh! oh! How Ruth Wilburn fell for him, Everybody should know. Here’s Evelyn Stone Petty in our senior year. Being very pretty and a perfect dear— She’s the first to reach her M.R.S. degree. We are sure to this statement, A. D. will agree. Although she’s domestic, she lonely too. This to her husband, she misses you. Hi there Ruth Wilburn, you naughty girl, Plenty of waves without the curls. You’re very smart, but on the matrimonial Road you’ll embark, for I’ll bet some day you— Will lose your heart Just look whom we found, Doris Henson Standing around. Grinning so big— With never a frown. Hi there Mary Hodges! the queen of the land, Everywhere I see you, you have a mirror in your hand You’re very little and low, But always you’re raring to go.
