Cladd Poem I'm not much of a poet. And have never had the yen, So with very little confidence, I'll take in hand my pen. I'll look out over the class, And count each person's nose; With this I will start my poem. Well, kids, here goes I We have a very quiet girl. Whose latter name is Brown, And when you put her on a job She really goes to town. Tom B. is quite a Casanova, He's up to his old-time tricks. There are some underclassmen Whom he rates Quite some chicks. Leona, who is called Lee , Is a gal I rate as slick. And when the top ten came out She was named the class Valdick. Jewel Cox once left us. Only to come back again. And everyone around her. Thinks she is quite a gem. One girl of whom we're proud Is our own Mary Lou DeYoung, It seems a shame We must leave her laurels unsung. Steve likes his work immensely, But still finds time for Billie ; We can all see his point. Cause she's really a neat filly. Georgia is a gal who works And is always at her best. And from what I hear. She will like her work with Les. • When the ballots were counted for lover, The champion was George Romeo Friel, Elected for qualities unlimited And a desire to make the girls squeal I Ken Fryling is a smart lad; He isn't any fool. I don't know how he does it, though, For he's seldom found in school 1 Dale G. has inherited a nickname, That name, of course, is Red, And I'll bet a dime he keeps it. Til there's no hair left on his head I Janet J., whom we know as Jan, Was well liked by our football team. Why they even picked her. To be their Homecoming Queen . Don K. is a new addition To our little Senior show. But still he rates high In being the class Romeo I In Nancy, who is called Nan , Beauty lives with kindness; Our class has found true. That this is the formula for fineness. Frank is a guy who's quiet; He never likes to show. But if you think he's really this way. Get to know him as well as Jo . Joan K. is quite a gal. She likes to play a prank. And if you need proof of this. Talk it over with Frank. Anderson wrote the fairy tales But we have our own ink to blot. For our favorite storyteller. Is our own Archie Knott. Dorothy is in the band. She plays a clarinet, I'm sure we all hope that Joe Never makes her worry or fret. Al, who is our Golden Glove boy. Hardly ever says a word; If he should enter the Marine Corps, Surely he will make himself heard. Pat, who is called Mickey , Has very long dark hair. And as long as she's around Bud will, of course, be there. Terry has a phone book Which has won great acclaim; Fellas, if you want a date. Call Morgan for a name 1 15
