POEM OF 1967 A cute brunette is our Candy Girl; when it comes to dancing she'll give it a whirl. A blue-eyed, blonde is Alberta A.; she's sure to brighten every day. Becky Barger--alias Bubbles ; to no one does she bring her troubles. Where the girls are, you'll always see, a, handsome guy named Gary B. Dan Brooks, our basketball star; at Lincoln College he'll go far. A hardworking waitress is Jacqui B.; to us, Daphne, the maid, she'll always be. A clown in our class is our Joe C.; don't laugh, for someday president he may be. Quiet and shy is Russell C.; a farmer someday he's sure to be. Susie Evans, who came this year; at her typing we'll never jeer. Dennis Floyd or Wilbur for short; when it comes to girls, that's his sport. Tall and slender is our gal Millie; with all her earrings she's a dilly. Thelma H. or Giggles for short; playing the drum is her favorite sport. Pam Hubner, the artist of our class; a bashful, shy girl is this lass. The wolf of the class is a guy named Coy; a loud piped Charger is his toy. Head of the class is our Bill K.; he'll never get below an A . In office practice Rita exceeds; especially at typing she takes the lead. We now introduce our Pig Farmer, Chug' to the girls or his pigs does he give a hug. Mary Jane with light brown hair; the best someday she's sure to fare. The red haired gent is our Alvin Parr; on WPRC he's quite the star. Janet Pech is good at playing the saxophone; but not as good as talking on the telephone. Judy Powell is quite the chick; with her boss she's sure to click. Carolyn Prather, quiet and shy; someday soon she'll catch the right guy. Peggy Shay is quite a gas; at a certain sailor she's sure to make a pass. A teacher someday is Dennis Smith's aim; or maybe a paperboy will be his fame. Ron W. better known as Jazzbo ; where there's a car, he's ready to go. The marrying type is Debby Y.; would you believe June or July? A set and shampoo, the girls will say, is the way Letty earns her pay. Now here is our poem; it sure is a dandy, Respectfully signed, Dennis, Peggy, Gary, and Candy. 15
