The Eollies of 1950 CON'T But let's consider the individuals- Each boy and girl by turn- Brilliant scholars, angels ali, Eager to see and hear and le 1'! Take them one by one, and ayl ii all An exceedingly hard-working gangj A difficult task to coax tier no stoo When the class bell finally lang, The girls love our old mimeograph, They'll turn the crank for hoursg And every Friday afternoon They sing of love and flowers. Kathleen's a shy, sweet, charming lass who hides behind her glasses. The longer we know her, the better we like her, And enjoy her in our classes. Ruby's a girl to rely on, Ever cheerful and gay- A good dependable character T6 work, or put on a play. No matter how many lines she has, She learns them with gust and vim, She andfifadleilin HIt's a Deten- Ruby's distinctly in the swim. A friend who does not shrink from work And lets her voice ring out, Is Ginny Lawrence, a true straight shooter, Never known to pout. The shortest gal in the class this year Is little Marcine, bless her heart 2 Dreamy eyes, and charming ways, CMajor always takes her part.D Now these four girls, They seem to think the world of one another, Always presenting a solid front, Each for all and 'tother. You're familiar with Buster Nichols and his pack of gum or more? Just ask him how the highway man Rode up to the old inn door I We're glad that Norman stuck it out, Long time he kept the teachers dizzyf Off again, on again, gone again- Finnegan Cramer's technique is a tizzy.

Six years ago these boys and girls were new to Alger High, Eleven young Americans, And none just like the rest, Exceptlng that they all love life And fun, fair play, and tests. They never, never, whisper Or talk out in study hall, And labor on, both dey and night Models for younger students, ell.

Qhe Follies of l95Q CON'T With us for the past five years Has been Faurot, the business man, Treasurer of this and that, The magazine drive he ran. And then, besides, time after time, He went out and brought in ads. His system of getting slips always white Is the envy of all other lads. Lloyd Lawrence has a specialty- His pose as the strong silent typeg But stick arou d, and the mischief you'll see Dance in his eye, when the time is ripe. In every class, there always is A boy like Ralphie Dyer- Fond of taking the other side, And stirring the teacher's ire And yet, you have to like him, For he's proved a friend in needg More than once, he's helped us out And shown a fine spirit, indeed. The president of this senior class Is Gerald, with his tuneful harpg The brown-eyed guy, with the wistful smile Can play it flat or sharp. Pretty good in theatricals, too, Remember Runaway Jim? And Andrew's Uncle in the Junior play? We can't get along without him. Good gracious me 1 I almost forgot That golden-hatred blonde, Paul Wischmeyer, He used to write his.memory work And blush like a four-alarm fire. Now, Paul, we've always liked youg We are soothed by your quiet nays. It's been fun to have you with us Don't get red at this well-earned praise. I've called this the Hfollies of fiftyn A verse for my girls and boys,- nNot at the top, but climbingu- Here's wishing success and all joys. HNot at the top, but climbing,N A pretty good motto, it seems, Always look up and not backward, Keep your eye on the star and its gleams, t Mrs. Helen D. Sherburn .JHl. a
