 Daily I read the “Benld Times” Which always upholds the truth And never fails to expose any crimes. (The editor is none other than Ruth.) Of the fastest planes that zoom through the air, There’s one that just can’t be beat, For a helicopter like this one is rare When Leland Fassero is in the pilot’s seat. Loretta enjoys her work very much, She must have an inspiration. For it seems she has a magic touch To take such rapid dictation. Donald Herman has reached the criminologist’s height, He can solve a murder in no time flat. (For every time he guesses right, He adds a feather to his hat.) Some people thought Myrna was a shirker But this statement has no strength. Today she’s a social worker And her work is endless in length. The mystery of electricity is at last known Due to the renowned scientist, Pete Perino, Now the “neutrinal” is all his own. (He got it by splitting a neutrino.) A morgue is an awful place at night, But Anita doesn’t care. She knows that ‘‘dead men don’t bite,” (That’s why she’s keeper there.) Fred is leading an easy life. He’s doing his favorite work. And his salary will support his children and wife For of the public accounts he’s the clerk. Who would have thought that a little Miss Like our classmate, Frances Morris, Would ever have ended up like this? (She’s third from the left in Zaggro’s chorus.) Dolores Chiado is the “belle of the ball” Using a balloon of Sally Rand. She catches the eager eye of all As the best bubble dancer in the land. Dolores Fuso still likes to sing, But in concert halls her future did not lie. Since first the wedding bells did ring, She’s been singing to just one guy.

Walter Morris is off to a good start. Already a fortune he has made By appealing to the public heart. For panhandling is his trade. Eleanor owns our local hat shop But selling hats is not her plan. (She claims that things will really pop As soon as she catches a man.) Appendix, tonsils, or even a blister You’re sure to get rid of your curse. ’Cause Genevieve to our surprise is a “Sister” And she’s really a very good nurse. Every officer of the law must vow That he will try to keep the peace. And Benld is a quiet town now. (Mike Chipkar is the chief of police.) Ladies, would you like to be a real beauty? Is your hair stringy, your hips too large? Well, then, it’s your personal duty To go to the beauty clinic run by Marge. Our classmate actress has changed her name, Because of the atomic age, I guess. Darlene Adams has gained her fame By spelling it A-t-o-m-s. Over hills and dales our vagabond champ, Andy Kalvin, makes his way. He has been chosen the model tramp. (Which proves: Every dog has his day.) Knowledge is still Leona’s tool And with it she has performed a great feat. She’s spending most of her time in school Only, now, she’s in the teacher’s seat. Eugene, the druggist, has not taken to heart The work in his laboratory, I fear. Of his time he spends the greater part On his woman-chasing career. Annetta Corgiat is a well-known name, Almost as great as Dickens. By writing a book she gained her fame, The title? “How To Raise Chickens.” As a playboy Muff is a honey.
