ELROY EDSON Elroy works at the A P As many have before him. Glen now notices the girls, But Elroy says they bore him! WESLEY ENGLISH Wesley is handsome without a doubt. He likes to take the girls about. Although he is a fine mechanic When he gets done your car’s a panic. DAWN FARR Dawn is cute and oh, so witty, You’d never think she same from a city. She’s always filling you with some big yarn; She and John are now living on the farm. BARBARA FORGUITES Barb is the devil of our class, Full of corny jokes and lots of sass. Last year she was fickle—just a wee, But now she sticks to one—Gordon Lee! BARBARA GOODNOW Her mind is awfully clever Her jokes will always please ’ya. And she’ll be known forever For her line—“Goodnight, Cornelia.” ELENITA HAYES When you see her beautiful smile Your heart will do a flip. But, you’d better keep your distance, boys Her time is spent with Skip. JOHN HOLMES A camera fiend is Johnny. He also plays the Bass. He gets his stuff from Ianni, Who really sets the pace. IRENE KETCHAM This shy lass comes from Whiting With Dawn she always seems to be fighting. She drives along so free and happy Until the car goes back to her pappy. JOYCE LADD We hope she finds the man who Will set her heart a tingle, ’Cause we’re getting very tired of changing this here jingle. GORDON LEE As our class president, Gordy works hard. He’s always patching up fights with Barb. Along with Dick he went to Boys State; We agree with Barb, he’s really great! JOHN MALLORY Johnnie is tall and lean. In his eye there lies a gleam. At parties he’s fond of kissing games, For this he has won his fame. CLAIRE MEMOE Claire Memoe is so very shy, We cannot understand why. In Whiting she really makes a show Because to dances she likes to go. SAMUEL MORSE So tall and shy With eyes of blue — He likes the school, It likes him, too. EDDIE MUNGER We hear a snore and look around — Eddie Munger can’t be found — He’s sleeping. ROGER QUESNEL He’s another farmer boy, But then, what’s wrong with that ? Apparently to him it’s joy To weigh the butterfat. ELIZABETH ROWE A tall skinny blonde with a guy named Bill We always see at dances. She lives in a world all her own, Just her and her romances. CLIFF SHATTUCK Cliff Shattuck wants you to know he’s great! He’s the greatest guy in the forty- eight. He’ll go on for hours and when he’s done, We know he doesn’t mean it, it’s ail in fun. CHARLOTTE SHEPARD Charlotte Shepard goes out in her little car, Which doesn’t run well, or go very far. She’d like to take Russell with her someday — But he’s in Fort Dix, which is far, far, away. SUSAN SINGISER She’s our girl with the “bleached blonde” hair, She knows we’re kidding and really doesn’t care. Everyone seems to like that Sue -— Just ask Ronnie — He does too. DARRELL SPRAGUE Darrell really likes the girls, He chases them and pulls their curls. He was the “Purser” in our play And was really good so they say. GINNY STONE Ginny runs the Senior Store She has this job and a dozen more. She always smiles, her way is merry, Right now her heart belongs to Jerry. JUDY TROMBLEY Hither and scither, to and fro — Here she is—oops—where’d she go ? If she has time to eat, she’s very lucky; But we notice she always has time for Bucky. CHARLES WHEELER Pretty red hair has he — Charles Wheeler is his name. The girls who flock around him, Have brought him lots of fame. JEAN WILLETTE Always in a hurry, But always late. That’s Jean Willette She takes the cake. RICHARD WOOD Dick Wood runs an efficient farm, His well-developed muscles keep him from harm. He was elected President of the State FFA, We know whatever he does, he’ll make it pay.
