19--------------CRYSTALITE-------------47 THE CLASS OF '47 Sixty and six form the class of forty-seven All so robust and peppy. With a motto the world to brighten, “Happiness belongs to those who make others happy.” Stand by dear friends and you shall hear. Each member as they pass in view Happily and gladly year by year Crystal High will greet anew. A flyer, I believe he wants to be. So here’s hoping he’ll meet his goal, And Raymond Abernathy you will see Often loafing near a fishing hole. Ilis speech class seems to he alright, Or anyway that’s what he thinks. For Paul P.aur likes to keep in sight. The girl to whom he often winks. He often says “That heats me” W hen walking down the street. And Marvin Becker wants to see Some more girls that he can meet. A White House on a hill in C. C. Is where he’s often seen A footliall hero he wants to be That’s Bob Beilke, so tall and lean. Nosev people is her pet peeve. But her favorite subject is Dick, This is Emogene Billy, who wants to leave High School before it makes her sick. His favorite subject is Miss Jones, Along with English, that is— His favorite food is chicken bones. And in Sports, Bill Blake’s a whiz. A person who’s future has much in store Is Charlotte Bradshaw, we know For she wins friends by the score, And her work is always just so. You’ll hear her say “I don’t believe it When coming through the hall That’s Norma Butler, who likes to sit Through a picture twice, and see it all. His pet peeve is people who smoke. And he’s often seen at the show. At noon he always enjoys a coke, That’s Chester Carrow, as you know. Another one who likes the women, Is George Commerford, yes sirree. School, he never wanted to begin For a little alumni he wants to be. Here’s a girl who loves her Bob, And wants to marry him some day. Working at the creamery is her job, Which helps Tanya Conardy pass the time away. A classmate very loyal and true, With work piled up galore. Is Marjorie Crosby, who’s willing to do. Anything she can and even more. One who is always nice and sweet, Is Ernestine DeMent, you bet. She is often seen at school so neat And success is what she wants to get. One who would like to have a date, With some big handsome guy. Is Bonnie DeRousse, a classmate Who’s very sweet, quiet, and shy. Spare ribs and sauer kraut is his favorite dish, And lie often works at the Roxy show. To get a nyw car is his favorite wish, That’s Elmer Dunker, as we all know. With the pep squad she has lots of steam, And to Kirkwood she likes to go. That’s Jeannie Erb, always on the beam. Through the sunshine, rain, or snow. In Roberta’s car is where she’s seen. Her favorite subject is history, you bet. To live on a ranch she thinks would be keen. And to ride a horse, Wilma Fenwick’s all set. Sort of shy, but nice and sweet, Who hates people who pop their gum. Is Gerry Fults who’s always neat And with us all a very nice chum. 26
