Letters, Mary Valt likes to receive, Especially from you know who! The dishes he says he likes to do, But don’t let him kid you folks. For Bill Vaughn never gets through, Telling all those peculiar jokes. A popular girl, always up to date. Who’s known by all. as Jo, Is Josephine Vorsams, who likes to date, Her sister’s boy friends, we know.

Fried bunny with gravy galore, James Laiben sure likes to eat. And women are what he can adore. Especially if they’re nice and sweet.

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.
