The REVERIE Jim Walton Has finally proven his worth; He's just built the biggest arena on earth. It seats half a million, and a million can stand; In every pie he has thumbs from each hand. His latest and greatest attraction will be. The world's champeen boxer. Battling Buster McGee. Strong men by the dozens he's slugged and he's clouted; He's whipped kangaroos and gorillas he s routed. His fistic exploits are the wonder of millions. He's the idol of France and the joy of Brazilians. When he gets in the ring, he wins ail his tussles; The girls are surprised at the size of his muscles. Avis Marlow is known as a great undertaker; Her lay away plan is a big money-maker. “There's no 'cover' charge in this 'grave' line of work. My clients seem happy,'' she says with a smirk. ''Positions are steady, turnover is slow, I crate them for shipping above or below.'' Glyndola and Myrta have moved to the coast; Of Hollywood's horsey set they're now the toast. They gambol o'er mountains and gallop thru passes And teach all the screen stars at afternoon classes To ride horses that canter and horses that rack; And when they are thrown, how to land on their back; But what is the difference, and what's a few spills; Compared to the joys of equestrian skills. Trulock has finally built his home in Seattle, And made lots of money by raising fine cattle. He's developed a new line of very fast horses; He's head of the Bureau of Natural Resources. With three hundred Brahmas his pastures are full; And if you ask me, that's a whole lot of bull. Last, perhaps least, is the author himself; You'll notice the others increased all their pelf; But the crystal refused for a time to disclose What happened to me and my temperature rose. I cursed the old ball as I gazed in its murk. It finally resolved to my fate with a smirk And here was my future ; alas and alack. I'd left for the moon and I'd never come back.

The REVERIE Loretta LaCost is now known as Suzette; By appointment, beautician to London s smart set. Her products are put up in plastics and glass; And made out of goo from Schmitt’s chemistry class. She'll color your hair mauve, magenta or green. She just did a repainting job on the Queen. Tin Pan Alley and Broadway are shouting the praises Of one of the twins who used to amaze us. For Dave Heneberry has written the score Of hundreds of shows and plans hundreds more. The name of his latest and greatest sensation Is Love Me In Fall As You Did In Penn Station . Bob Keown has invested most wisely in stocks. Till his personal treasury rivals Ft. Knox. He's bought Massachusetts, he's now buying Maine; With profits acquired from his trading in grain. He endows Children's Welfares and Old Ladies Homes; They bless him and pray for him wherever he roams. Norma Tipsword is known as a world famous cook. Whose skill at her chosen art recently took Some coveted prizes for mashing potatoes. Stringing string beans and slicing tomatoes. Her latest concoction (don t bother to heat it) Is so nauseating, nobody can eat it. Miss Valette Stables, now exploress of fame. Has ridden on camels, called elephants by name; Searched rivers and jungles and an archipelago. When we heard from her last, she said. Well, I go To Africa, next time, or maybe to Siam; It all just depends on the mood in which I am. Our own Wanda Wright has become Queen of the Stage. Of Broadway and Hollywood she's all the rage. Her beauty is fabulous, her form is divine; She can't get her shoes on, 'cause they're full of wine. When she wears all her diamonds, she sparkles and shimmers; She looks like the frozen food counter at Wimmers. Mary Grace Baird has become the first president. In addition to that, she's also chief resident; Of the National Society for Protection of Innocence, Youth, Mother and Home, and Control of Intemperance. She has oodles of innocents, both smart and dumb. And plenty of vices to protect them all from. Bethany High School - 1949
