6111.95 Poem We're few - but oh so mighty! This Class of '45. At times we may seem flighty As toward our goals we strive. So in case you do not know us, Let's take a hasty look A' down the page where fifteen names Adorn the record book. The first name is none other Than that of Libby Batts, And to our Lib's gay wit and art, We all do doff our hats. The second name is Laura, From Higganum this miss isg Her twinkling toes and sparkling eyes A square dance never misses. Bobby Drennan next appears, She seldom makes a peep, But that soldier boy from Scotland Proved still waters do run deep! A baseball fan next comes in view It's Ray - I do believe! He tries to make you think he's tough He's not! Be not deceived. Eddie Goff's our sailor boy We miss his goofy ways He always hated history, But he's making it these days. Goldy's the next one on our list His corn - it sure is green, Aimd though he's plotting mischief His smile's always serene. President Rudy! how we grieved The day on which he left us To join the ranks of Uncle Sam, This noble cause bereft us. Daisy our mighty midget is, She's always onthe job Her love's not all for '45 No knocks! Some's for a gob. The next's a girl who does her part And none she'd ever hurt, For Kenny is a friendly gal Albeit quite a flirt. Our blonde and quiet Ethel Has a twinkle in her eye, Her heart is with the Navy, So that's the reason why. Now Jean - our D. A. R. girl Is a swingtime crooner's boast She's always there when work's to do, Let's give our jean a toast. Bernie , our Drug Store cowboy bold Sets many hearts a' flutter, That little Chester friend of his Makes Deep River's fair sex mutter. Good old Nevada Stanton Comes next upon the list, just one wise crack and all our foes Will vanish in the mist. Charlie Watrous, a very smart lad Upholds our honor list He'd make you think he's always grave, But a clever joke he's never missed. Our Charles Boyer is Freddy An actor bold- of bookish mind. He takes a heap of kidding - and A better sport is hard to find. This finishes our gay fifteen We've sure had lots of fun, My love goes with you as you go. God bless you every one! Sarah Price Ely
