CLASS POEM Together we have made the grade Courageous, hopeful, and unafraid As we start out on the road to success. We know that each will do their best. The first in line of all the rest Who averages “A” on Chemistry test He eats two lunches every day Tis Lard swinging 200 pounds his way. Our second member, a leader great A. Col.le£e degree will be her fate It s Lillian McGehee, the preacher’s girl As a cheerleader, she’s Riverton’s pearl. There’s Ross and White, a congenial pair, They’re seen together everywhere At quartet singing, they’ll hit the top But on Geometry test they’ll be a flop. Take Vivian Cope, a platinum blonde To make good grades, she’s just the one She may like boys, but learning is her aim Her reward for this, will later be fame. There’s James Sharpe, with, his Toni curls He's very popular, especially with the girls He feeds them a line that is hard to beat Then they giggle and say “Ain’t he sweet?’’ Betty Sue Tipton, the boys’ delight For wearing jewelry she is the type She wears three class rings on her hands One is hers, two are her man’s. Betty Lynn Sisco, next in line On compositions she is just fine She likes New Market best of all And loves to see the boys play ball. Next comes “Speedy” as fast as a whiz You have to look twice to see who it is It’s Speedy Rigsby, a favorite in class He tries awfully hard but only to pass. Our red-headed girl, we all can see A happy housewife she will be Dorothy Tippett is cute you see And she hails from Bell Factory. Charles Jacks, our Chemistry man He can answer any question if Mr. Murphree can In English class, he's not so fast But in the lunchroom, he’s never last. “Dodo Moon, coming up next She always has time to study the text She s a busy girl, for she is popular you see She’s as good a housekeeper as she can be.
