So } O J, It ' s i eev yoo cLto)i now ha. The Senior Class of ' fifty-one Is surely the greatest e ' er to come. Of the pool of knowledge we have tasted We don ' t believe our times been wasted. Not only honors and praises have we won, But statistics show we chew the most gum. Our class enrollment don ' t reach the sky, But as far as brains go, we really rate high. We don ' t like to brag, (isn ' t it a shame!) — But our float won first place at the homecoming game. Our prom and snowball were a huge success, And our plays were rated as the best. In athletics, dramatics and Music, We have more than stood our ground. Here we showed good sportsmanship too. Isn ' t it fun to have Seniors around? ? ? ? ? Everybody loves the Senior Class The shining example to all They leave advice to those that follow — Be first to carry the ball.
