A popular boy and up-to-date Is Gerald Linderer by name. You’ll never see him coming late. Especially to a football game. You’ll see him at Vaughn’s or Teen Town, With all his friends and his pals. School teachers, he hates to lie aroun’ But Robert Lorch sure likes Bonne Terre gals. Females are his pride and joy, But He’d like to have a car. So Robert Madison, this senior boy, Wouldn’t have to walk so far. In music Dick Mallette is really swell. And his life has much in store. His pet peeve are guys who tell Him to hurry up, and open the door. lean Mattingly sure likes the boys, And often says “You’ll be all right,” She chews gum with lots of noise When the teachers aren’t in sight. To marry a millionaire, you see. Is what she’d like to do, But what girl wouldn’t want to be, Like Betty Ann McDaniel and try it too? A very sweet girl who’s nice to know, Is Dorothy Mae Morse, you see. To college is where she’d like to go, To learn about people like me. You'll see Jack Muikey anywhere. And his nickname is Jocko, too. He likes to see girls with pretty hair. Of no special color; for any will do. 27
