gfaas poems RENA BLODGETT Rena thrives on basketball But likes her acting, too. It's a treat to watch her on any score, And it's just what we do. RICHARD CHASE Dick's our leading basketball player And quite a brain is he- A sense of humor that seems to say To be or not to be. JEAN CHRISTOPHER Chris has virtues by the score, Her silence is supremeg But when we need advice galore, We remember Jean, NATALIE COLE Nat's got a way of laughing That makes us all feel good. A way of spreading happiness As only Nat'ly could. LOUIS DOHERTY Louie springs from Irish stock, A bashful guy say we,' I've tried and tried, but all in vain, To have him look at me. DEAN ELLINGWOOD Dean's beating on those drums Sends a message through the air. To catch the fancy and the eyes Of all the girls so fair. CHANDIS GIBSON Mustard has been his name For quite a while, you see, Without him-sentinel in the halls- Just where would we be? THERESA GOULET Terry is a fetching lass. A gay little flirt is she- Glancing eyes, flashing smile, Her remembrance long will be. PATRICIA HOPPS Tweet is one of the sportiest gals In more ways than one. To beat this chick at basketball, Brother, it just can't be done. ARLENE KINGSTON The Blondie of our class, Boy, oh, what a quiet miss. Her one pet love is dancing, We all agree on this. CONSTANCE LURVEY Connie's got a grin Upon her dimpled face, And although tiny and so slim Keeps McCormack in his place. I3 PATRICIA MARSHALL My gosh, what a giggle Has Tweet, a quiet lass. Some day we hope to hear her roar. Will it ever come to pass? RICHARD MARSHALL Dick's our hubba-hubba man, But there is something that we can't und Why of all the girls he's picked To no one he'd ever stick. MYRLE McCORMACK McCorm goes out for everything From basketball to dancing But watch her lashes lower On the subject of romancing. ROGER MEUNIER Roger likes to argue On that we will agree, But he does it all in fun Which is plain to see. KARLEEN MOORE Although Karl used to be so free She found out that love's not a game. A one-man woman now, say we. Must we supply his name? JOHN PEPAU John hails from Stark we know And he is right proud of it. To say a word against this fair town You'll yell Uncle and love it. PATRICIA PERKINS Patsy is a beauty, Her laughter is a gay breeze. A casual remark 'bout Neal. Behold! Water of the knees. DONALD PIKE For him success will surely be As his aims are wide and high, And so some day we'll see Dean Flying in the sky. ROBERT SAVAGE Bob is known by many, His voice is heard by all. For this blond-haired fellow Is really on the ball. MARJORIE STODDARD Mag has a scientihc nature But a dangerous blonde is she,- And if you don't believe us, Just visit our class in chemistry. JOHN STYLES John's a whiz at basketball, But watch his spirits rise Whene'er he sees the combination Of red hair and green eyes. PATRICIA SWIFT Pat is a studious one. She gets A in commercial rating. Does she stick to just one subect? We wonder, when it comes to dating. 11 erstand
