PIHIPIIEUY Here sit the Seniors in the front row, Faces happy, spirits not low. Soon will come their graduation What's their effect upon our nation? Listen now, and you will hear Their story on this earthly sphere. From pillar to post Cathy hops, Her Lightfoot takes her to the tops. She sweeps the stars from the sky away, And brings them back shining at end of day. Pat Slater, busy as a bee, Is typing out her songs. A song writer she aims to be, With music for the throngs. Beverly Small takes out her toys, And all day long she makes shrill noise. You can guess what she's busy doing, She's famous for piano tuning. Donna Lewis, it seems so funny, Takes spills in front of a mob. She found some work to raise some money, Testing roller skates, is her job. Flour, sugar, salt and lard. Golly, this ain't hard. Sings Pat Troastle on high, Baking Langendorf pies. Sally Fox, though not very big, At school convinced us she had no wig. The years have passed, again we have met, And found she makes wigs for the younger set. Rose Mary Smith is the master of all, But you may inquire what is her call. At Van de Kamp's she got her founda- tion. A taster, that's her occupation. With no profession and many ambi- tions, Maralyn Sollick couldn't find her way. Now her actions are all in one direction Mixing chemicals by night and by day. Pat Reardon, it seems so outlandish, You were so dainty and fleet a la foot. You're now the despair of all shoe men, No store can contain your slim boot. The pearly gates swing open wide Adrnitting humble souls inside. Kathleen, we know is waiting there To guide us celestially in with care. Ironing curtains, mending sox Making beds, and combing locks. Thus we see Joanne the reporter, Keeping now, her house in order. Beneath the sunny skies she stands With Erin's shamrocks in her hands, Margaret Tracey is this lass The Irishman of the '51 class. With a trim little apron and specks We see the grocer, Miss McVey, Sorting her apples and busheling her peeks With a polite, Can I help you today? Down at Ivar's on Pier 91 Stands Alvina Schantz of Class '5l. As the street orator pauses for a bowl of chowder Alvina fhard of hearing? cries, Loud- er, please, Louder. What's on our T.V. set tonight? Sugar Boy Robinson in his greatest fight. His manager Carrity plays no hunches She's in there helping him give out those punches. Donna Pedersen had a great ambition Sadly enough it went to perdition That girl has become Seattle's Rage, She peels bananas in the monkey cage. Poor Harmina Reichert does not feel fed All she's had to eat is milk and bread. She has no fears of pounds she'll gain, But won'y-wart ulcers give her pain. A girl of charm was Skinny Duffy No commotion made her huffy. Soprano in Ensemble sang Mattie Today the Met's star's name is Fatty. Delores Spiess was quite a gal, But to the boys just a pal. Now Dede's modeling for john Powers. The boys are smothering her with flowers. If you should pass a zoo some nite, And happen to glance upon a light, Perhaps you'll find O'Donnell there Guiding the monkeys with their prayer. And here they come around the bend, With Andree Sullivan near the end. But do not fret folks, you will smile When our sweet jockey comes first in the mile. Does you dog have fleas? Does he suffer from fits? Marlene Ultsch for giant fees, Doctors the needs of your Spitz. If you should pass Shirley Nelson some day, And you hear her mumbling on the way. Don't be surprised, you'd be that way too, If you were chief match counter at the Diamond Co. It may be caviar, or spagett' Or pies and even crepe suzzette, Chee Chee Vallela knows them best, The greatest food expert in the West. Some have a knack for cooking And for painting too. But if you want to advance in dancing Kathy Stnib is in the groove. And, Sylvia, we like to recall you Your young slim days are o'er Thru the grapevine we've heard it reported That you enter only double width doors. Finding a secluded spot We see our Janet Rodgers, Hand-painting knee high argyle sox Her present to the Dodgers. Who teaches history to Prince Charlie Of the royal house of Britain? Why Miss Catherine Montcalm Who by the travel bug was bitten. With ringing voice and perfect poise We find orator Barbara Small, And on H.R.'s school spirit team She is not small a'tall. Idalynn Leonard always was frisky Today her activities a.ren't so risky, She flew a plane in the lift to Nome Now she's knitting socks in the old F olk's home. Gladyne Lucchesini was a girl with vision Then one day she got religion Where's that girl we'll always like? Leading the Am1y at First and Pike. Do you remember Marberta? She loathed to see school days come. Right now she heads Teachers College, And, believe me, she makes it hum. It isn't so bad to imagine That Pat of the Sterling type, Has abandoned the World Wide Air- ways And travels the globe on a bike. Dear Graduates, we give to you, Best wishes, love, happiness, too. But no more bouquets to you do we send For there ain't any more, this is the end. '
