CLASS POEM When this class goes out to seek We hope they'll never be too meek- To get ahead, and wisely use--- The knowledge given us by the Muse Gerry Knowles is quite some lass She is the president of our class For her smile she's widely known And all will miss her when she's gone. And now there is another gal Mable is loyal to one - yes Al We all sure wonder when she's thru What course of life for her is due. Wee Betty really is quite small It wouldn't be so far to fall She has the brains - oh, so smart She heads the class - the honor part. When the fish begin to bite Then Bill would surely like the right To get away from dreary school And sit all daytbeside the pool. We think of Virgil when we see A smokestack down beside the sea But to tell the truth, we know To some where big he'll surely go. When Kenny Znnder comes to town He'll bring his little Ford along We know that he has many plans And we are glad to be his Fans. What will Gene our Linley man Do when our day is finally ran? His disposition sweet and smiling face Will surely find him worthy place. Gene Borman was our football man If he can't play it no one can His one ambition is the sea Oh, may you there so happy be. Now Caryl Boothis our Farmerette She's really ambitious that's no bet We think that she is very smart But has she trouble of the heart?
