CLASS POEM By Mrs. W. H. Shaver who has known the class members for more than nine years. Now comes graduation, as it does here each May, And you pass in review before my mind’s eye. Ere you depart from old Fulton, some to go far away, I see you in second grade and on through junior high. You were fun in home-room, music, math, history. I hope you enjoyed some of those things with me. Penelope has all that occasion demands In music, or science, or history or math; In the matter of applying her brains or her hands Anyone could well follow along in her path. “Bob Carter is nice,” I’ve heard some girls say, But he’s no sissy I’m sure you are bound to agree. It’s been good to watch him grow up day by day. His good humor, his good singing appeal to me. It’s a pleasure to have such a student as Don Who is capable, likeable, can make study pay. He can join a class late and quickly “catch on”; I hope that he’ll work for true greatness some day. Arlene, the fun-loving, a sociable lass, Whose friendly activity makes projects succeed, In music, church, club programs she’s “class”— She’ll run errands or stay put to supply each need. Though Bob came to us only one short year ago He fits in right well with the group that you are. He’s wonderful help in all projects we know; He’s willing, dependable, well over par. Then there’s lovely Joann, who’s a pleasure to see With her beautiful hair, her nice eyes, and all. She has more than looks, I’m sure you’ll agree; She has humor and sense and “much on the ball.” Hal has become a “big wheel” around here; He handles his jobs in a business-like way. No doubt he has learned after most of a year. He has to be good to get results that pay. Laura, a dream girl—much more than a dream— A dependable, hard-working, lovable one, A singer, pianist, trumpet player supreme; Keeps running in high gear until the job’s done. There’s Monte, good-humored, friendly and kind— (His teasing’s well-meant, the kind we can take) He meets his bad luck with grit rare to find. His neatness and character friends for him make. Quiet Bonnie, unpretentious, sincere, Who won’t be roped into our nervous, mad whirl. Whose good looks increase with each passing year, Is liked by the younger ones, a sensible girl. We’d be lost without Tom, with his talent and fun, His pantomimes, caricatures, acting and such. Even his moodiness helps things to run Out of the humdrum. This really means much. Dolores, the quiet, the hard-working, not lazy, Has plenty of humor and good sense as well. If everyone offered as much as does she Our world would be safe, as many can tell. Bob Schwyn says what he means with his hands In shop projects or out on the basketball floor. A good sport, our respect he commands— He plays for the team, not just his own score. Sweet Betty, the last of her clan in our school, With good sense, ability, poise and ambition. The way she meets problems shows that she’s no fool; She’ll be a success, what e’er her position. Cute as a button and sharp as a tack Virginia’s appealing and capable too In music and literature she displays a knack That leaves not one doubt about what she can do. Dwight, practical-joker, yet earnest, sincere, On occasion can show innate depth and good sense. For his chance for success we need have no fear He has what it takes with no sham or pretense. Another who came with her sisters-no-brothers— Carol, bright, witty, hard-working, yet carefree; She puts herself out to do nice things for others We’re proud to have her, I’m sure you’ll agree. Many of you will be leaders, some less, others more. Here’s a hint that I offer for what it is worth; Morale comes from the top, filters down to the floor; Be your best to lead others to good on this earth. You boys are all handsome, you girls are all fair, As always you will be to others who care. God bless you and lead you, wherever you go; May you keep right on learning, for there’s so much to know.
