Sally was our Brenda Starry As nBear Factsu editor she went far. Harvey's flip was Ela's prideg It even brought a cheer from the other side. Betty Busch has her engagement ring, Of wedding bells we hear her sing. Richard Nelson loved a car That would travel fast and far. Marilyn R. loved a laugh and a smileg We'll remember her for quite a while. Marjorie Buesching never worriedg Her life was placid and unhurried. John made reports in history, But the source of them was a mystery. Betty Deinlein nlovedn to hear Someone call her nDing-Ling, dear.n Pat Shockey was a master hand At playing the drum in E1a's band. The nboy with the buildn - strong and tall, That's what we called our handsome Paul. Nose tilted up, face sweet and true, That was our Jeannie through and through. As hypnotist in the senior play, Frances stole the scene away. A Stan Kenton fan who never let us down, And made us love jazz, was our boy Brown. Marilyn Biere - we still hear her shout it- nCheer up, kids, don't worry about itln Harold Gnoske loved physics classg He loved it most when he could pass. Marion Wickersheim has her ring, too-- Good luck, kid, in all you do. Betty Jenkins, blonde and fair, Lived her life without a care. Tonne's fame was for his car, It flew around like a shooting star. We never knew what Norma would do, She was full of surprises, through and through All these memories we leave with a sigh, And to the rest of you we say ---- Goodbye!
