I Said My Pajamasi Now after twelve long years, I'm going to graduate. And I am telling you now It makes me feel great. Chorus -------- Oh! I'm so excited, Can't even think, Put milk in my pen, I drank up my ink, I chewed up my books, And gave my gum a slam, All because I've passed my exam I sat on the aisle, And walked down my chair, I oiled the earsers, And dusted my hair, I spread on my coat, And buttoned up the jam, All because I've passed my exam I'm so glad ----- my head Is spinning around and round When I climb up the stairs, I meet myself coming down. I punched Mr. Bellis, Greeted the gong, I'm still all here But I won't be for long, I kissed Mr. Roed And called him honey lamb , All because I've passed my exam 12

Class Poem Twelve long years ago, we started off to school , To us it seemed like, an awful foolish rule. We cou1dn't see why, our folks could treat us so, When they stayed at home, and simply made us go, But now as the years have quickly slipped away, It's like a dream back, to only yesterday. We wouldn't think of trading our fun for our tears, Since we've leaned that teachers are friends and not our fears So through the task of lessons, tiresome, dull, and hard, We managed to raise cane, while teachers weren't on guard. I bet we missed a lot we should and out to know, While playing tricks on those who sit across the row. Doris took up home economics to learn to cook real well, She's tried most everything, and it turned out swell. When she serves potatoes, she has a secret nack, For not a one of us can soak them in a sack. Now Marge don't have to study hard, it's easy as can be, I guess that's why she always smiles at everyone she sees. Of all the things she's learned about, spelling is the best, But please leave out Bologna or she'll surely miss her test Gladys always had a dislike sitting in a seat, After all, it's better than standing on your feet, To Mr. Roed's amazement, when coming through the door, Is to find that she would rather sit down on the floor. Jake doesn't like the color green, I'm positive, I know, Because it says to hurry up, don't drive so awful slow. He really likes the color red, it always takes his eye. If you will look, you'll see I'm right, Oh: What a pretty tie. Dean takes to sports, I think the best of all, He goes all out, while playing basketball. But' when he plays at Rutland, somehow he fails to think, I wonder, do you suppose, it's just time out to wink ? Flick is our president, a handsome guy is he, He won the vote of every girl as you can see. To hold this office long, would pain and ache his head. He would far much rather go with the gang instead. By now I know you're thinking, have we really gained success. So speaking for the entire class, I think the answer's yes. And may we proudly say to you, about that foolish rule, We are so very happy that our folks sent us to school. 14
