CLASS POEM I know you ' ll want to hear about the graduates ol this year, So I ' ll tell of each of my classmates, that are so very dear. One by one you ' ll read all about the class of ' 47 Which, I ' m sure you ' ll agree, was a gift sent from heaven. First is Ella Fae, who everyone knows She is happy wherever she goes. So cute and tiny, so seldom blue. I know you will miss her as we will, too. Curt is a bey everyone adores, In every sport he really scores. It looks easy to see him run the mile. But best of all is his very cute smile. Next comes our blonde who is not lazy, And bookkeeping just about drove her crazy. This may not be who you think, But she is the girl, I call Katrink. Margaret is our little lass, Who, I believe, is the brains of the class. President of Booster ' s Club, always busy as a bee. That she ' s well liked, I ' m sure we agree. Our classmate Lynn is quite small, -And I must admit, orneryist of us all. Even tho ' he makes the teachers ' heads swim, I know we couldn ' t get along without him. Kenny, our left-handed basketball star, Has a physique that beats Charles Atlas by far. His clothes are nice, his smile so bright, If you ' ve seen him, I know you ' ll agree I ' m right. Not one of the girls. I ' m sure is guilty, Of coming to class all droopy-eyed and wilty. Hank is one of whom I ' m sure, A good nights sleep is an only cure. One way to tell Wilma ' s within a mile, Is by her giggle heard up and down each aisle, But there ' s nothing like being happy once in a while And she ' s one seldom seen without a smile. In our beloved Chemistry class. Sits this sweet Senior lass. For burning her fingers won fame, She is my sister, Mary by name. Lois is the tallest of our blondes, Of whom everyone, including the boys, is fond. She can really make her little Ford work, ' Cause when she ' s behind the wheel, it does perk??? A boy like Don S. is hard to find, He makes good use of his mind. We should all have looked his way, And used him as an example every day. Doris M. another Senior fair, Has natural curly brown hair. Altho ' her bookkeeping she doesn ' t like to do. She never lets it make her blue. Doris K. has a cute laugh and cheerful ways. And was oh! so good, in both class plays. Star of the girl ' s basketball team, She always has plenty of pep and steam. Our boy from Uncle Sam is quite fair, He has pretty wavy blonde hair. His friendliness would be awfully hard to beat; Without Louie the clas couldn ' t have been complete. Our Gwenie has a very cute face, And if you ' ve noticed every hair is in place. I ' m sure you ' ll agree she is quite nice. Wherever she goes people are sure to look twice. This is the ve se, the hardest one — ' Cause writing about myself is no fun. What I ' ll do in the future will be a surprise to me. But I ' ll never be a poet, as you can plainly see. Edna, who is next, has very long hair, She came two years ago from Mt. Ayr. When doing something, she does it with her heart, And you can be sure she ' ll always do her part. Our last girl, we call Maureen, Without Edna she is never seen. She has curly dark hair, and pretty blue eyes, Which many of us do so idolize. Don C., our president, helped us all year thru, He was a very good basketball player, too. Altho’ he isnt ' very big in size, He ' s handsome and has beautiful blue eyes. This year we received a member from Chicago, His name is Ed, as everyone knows. We were happy to have him thru our Senior days, And loved his peaceful, happy ways. John B., without much trouble, could be a quiz kid — For he really has some brains in his lid. He isn ' t exactly the studious kind; For John hes brighter things than books on his mind. When there is something funny to be said, You can be sure Lee will hit it on the head. Altho’ the teachers didn ' t laugh at the things he would do, I really believe they tho ' t he was funny, too. To be a draftsman is Richard ' s ambition. I know he won ' t quit until he ' s completed his mission. And as to him and each ether we say adieu, We wish him luck in whatever he might do. One of our boys, who is quite tail, Did the most heroic deed of all. His two foul shots won a game, Herbie is this good kid ' s name. Our sponsor, Mr. Stivers, helped us in everyway. To him we ' ll be grateful ' til our dying day. He was with us in everything we did, anywhere we would go. What has kept him from getting gray, we’ll never know. Our high school days are now through; The tho ' t makes us very blue. To good old D.H.S. we say our last goodbye, And step into a new world with a tearful sigh.
