Without her gay chatter, we all would be blue. is for Fiore, never on time, Farnach, Fisher and Fratelli, they’ll get along fine. is for Goodwill which I can proudly say, The Class of '47 will always display. is for Holdridge, Betty by name, Her good spirit and smile will be always the same. is for Initiative which we all possess, After four long years at C. H. S. is for Jesters of which we have many, But can you imagine a school without any? is for Koch, great his ambition, To many an eye his signs will glisten; Also for Kilroy, that name of fame, For many of our misdeeds, he took the blame. is for Luanna, a schoolmate sweet, Her artistic ability will never be beat. is for the two Bettys, Miles and Moore, In their future tasks they’ll surely score; For Merithew and Mason, who are never a bore, For them schoolday troubles shall be present no more.
