C'mon, ref, get in the game! G Mike Young Young is our football man of the year; When he's around, boys never drink beer; Walking on the floor; The ref says, Coach, no more; Teaches history and ole world studies here. I have a nickel in my purse you can borrow. H John Converse Converse was Colon's science meanie; When it came to Chem. , what a genie; Got married this year; to little Margy dear; Says, Junior high brains are teeny-weeny. My gosh, it has eaten my hand! I Elaine Amor In the home ec room you find Amor; She could make pie from an apple core; Cheer-leading's her bag; The girls' hair cannot sag; She has fun quizzes you cannot ignore. There's ABC gum on my shoe. J Dave Percival Percival was Colon's phys. ed. man; Hated Right Guard, but always used Ban; Coach of basketball; Even helped with football; And everybody was his lovin' fan. I suppose you want the floor plans of the bank and vault back? K Rob Hellenga Hellenga is our man in the shop; He got married 'cause he couldn't mop; He plays the guitar; And he sings like a star; At Colon High School he's really on top. P. S. This section could have been printed in color if Coach Sam Wright had been generous and donated his winnings. (Too bad Sandy left the marshmallow topping out. )

Shut those bus windows; they're for emergency only! Can't you read? B Russ Adrianson Adrianson is our science pro; Teaches the junior high what they know; He's really quite hip; Went on the senior trip; On the bowling lane he's never too low.

D John Rittman Wars, Congress, TR, Jackson, and stuff; Oh, please Rittman, we have had enough; He likes to play chess; His desk is quite a mess; Don't call him Turtle, or it will be rough. I've told you to be quiet for the last time; now I'm taking some immediate action. E W. Schermerhorn Schermerhorn taught English and Shakespeare; A black bow tie he always did wear; He really loved school; He could make Shakespeare cool Had a mustache, to his nose it was near. But, Alice, I like to give E's.
