CLASS POEM Who comes first in the center row? Coy's boy Roy, of course you know, Now I'll tell you something that's really great, For school and classes he's never late, Gloria QShortyj Beals surely is tall, She sleeps in the parlor with her feet out in the hall Although she is long and tall, She likes Kansas boys best of all, Least but not last is Hugh Pinnick, Everywhere he goes he's sure to cause panic, For he is only 4 feet 7 inches tall, And only Z0 years young, that's all, As for Donald Wiseman a he man, He goes to Marengo everytime he can, Also a star on the basketball team, When he plays we're usually on the beam, Peggy Ferguson, her nickname is Pete, She wears size 4? on her feet, Of a sailor she is quite fond, Although he is far across the pond, jackie Brown is quite a guy, And with Betty Mosson he's never shy, In the rooms, and in the halls, He thinks she's the cutest girl of all, I Now Lillie Lee Highfill is a gal, Bud Zehr is her best pal, They are never never seen apart, For they have gone steady from e start, th Lou Hanger is quite cute, And for her there's no substitute, She is a bold black headed witch, And many a time her beaus do switch, joan Crews surely has a strong will, She'll get Dean, or surely keep still, Brunet one day, Red head the next: Wonder which one Dean likes best? Gerald Hughes is not too short and not too tall, But as for the girls, he wants them all, He flirts with the blondes and all the rest, We wonder which color he likes the best, 15
