Our splendid class of twenty-four. Of all this class I shall begin To tell about Rita who’s smart as a whip, as neat as a pin. She’s good, petite and always sweet; Girls like this are hard to beat Nelle Bailes. a musician great We hope, someday, will be her fate; She is one of those platinum blonds Who of a Navy man she’s very fond. James Ballew is very nice Vou’ll nev r see him shooting dice; For a bachelor’s life this boy aspires: Sh! there are a few girls whom he admires. Jerome Blackwell, a secretary skilled. As Kress manager some day she’ll be thrilled This voung ladv is full of wit: She has gained her knowledge bit by bit Why. here’s Harless Bradford, big and stout. He could be a suoerman we read about: He owns the court house in the city of Chase, And someday he’ll run in the governor’s race. Now Evelyn Bragg, a brunette fine, Hasn’t a very serious mind; Evelvn loves to flirt and dance But she’s never a victim to romance. Next on roll is Jack Carter Uncle Sam called him and he will fight harder Tn basket ball we thought he was a wow; But boy! At the Germans he’ll kill and how. Part of the time comes Melba Cobb Commonly know as-the daiw snob. If she should come just twice as much About Pvt Henderson she’d not go nuts. Dot Giles is the next in line She says the city of New Market is just fine. Uncle Sam’s army has her true love. When this man’s around, she’s gentle as a dove. Next on the roll is the belle of Chase Of course, it’s Je »n Housmans with her heart shaped face She is much admired at the U.S.O. As she trips the light fantastic toe.

CLASS POEM Dorothy Johnson left us once and all forlorn were we, For with her winning ways and adorable smile She does all hearts beguile. Among the fairest of our girls Is Annie Lois Jones, with many waves but no curls; Our Lois is of fairer mien Than Shirley Temple, on the screen. Then Vivian Minor the figure queen. Tall and slender, with beautiful mien, Yes. Vivian, has many friends. May her popularity never end. I hear sweet music in the air, Rpfnre us stands °n artist fair. At Jean Moon’s feet the world will bow- We see her future greatness now. Thomas Morris, who loves a good fire, Ts a most accomodating lad. He’ll carrv the class anywhere, even tho’ the road is bad; Except, Oh my! When he has the usual flat tire. Mildred Webster and Mavis Preston, a distinguished pair,- A more congenial couple is very rare. They can dance, sing, or do anything. When J. D. and Donald come home, wedding bells will ring. Our class president, we to you acclaim And Mildred Preston, quite retired. And for her knowledge so much admired Goes down in our annual, in the Hall of Fame. Next is Doris, neat, tinv wife, She’ll lead her husband an exciting life, Tf he’ll follow onlv Doris’ lead. Together they’ll live without a need. Some likp to sew and some like to cook Rut our Carolvn loves her book. Tf in math vou're about to flop She can always loose the Gordean knot Albert and Norma, man and wife. May voor maniace continue to be free from strife- When Albert joins with Uncle Sam May he kill the Japs and learn to eat spam. From Pulaski Pike came Virginia White Likp the sun she’s always bright She always tries to do her best In all her work, especially in economics test Last but most important are Leon Patterson and James Ballew. Someday they’ll be heralded as authors of fame Then they’ll view their class mates with a smile, Trusting their books and poems will be most worth while.
