GIFTS TO BOVS By MARY MILLER The other day it came to my mind That soon I’d be leaving my classmates behind, So I stopped in the dime store and bought some toys As parting gifts to our senior boys. Bollesy is undecided just what he will do, Bjt whatever he plans for his whole life through A doctor, a lawyer, or a journalist with the press This ladder should help him climb to success. John Burns towards women is not very nice So I’ll give him these matches to thaw out the ice; And perhaps on some stormy, cold winter night, They can keep him warm or give him a light. This STOP sign for Buddy who drives very fast The slower he goes, the longer he’ll last. If he only stops when he sees this sign, Our lives will be safer, both voui’s and mine. Butch Dort, you want to sail the ocean blue. Here’s a sample of what’s in store for you This little mop you can push all around, And keep the deck spotless as you scrub up and down. Since Jimmy Hill lives far away And has to travel far each day. This little bicycle should suit him well, And help him to arrive before the bell. At parties, Kenney ready enhances With his fancy steps and all his dances. This blue ribbon is his; now I hope we’ll see more Of his rhythmic steps on the ballroom floor. Being a clown in my estimation Is Jere Hovey’s reputation I hope this jokebook will make him so bright, He’ll keep everyone laughing from morning ’til night. To Clark McCarthy, a fan of T. V. I give this miniature Model T So he can date his favorite star, The ever-popular Dagmar. To Henry Morgan, I’ll give a parachute To carry on his airplane route; If he grows tired of flying around, He can jump right out over his own home town. Since Pesky’s acting was such a sensation, Hollywood should be his destination; This one ticket will get him there Let’s hope an “Oscar” will be his share. Robert Poirier is a studious lad. And the quietest the class has had. This little whistle makes a terrific sound, But at least we’ll hear it and know he’s around. Kenny is fond of manual toil We trust his ambition will never spoil; Maybe these tools will fill a desire And steer this ambition higher and higher. To “Birdie” Richardson, this little chair; When the theater’s full, he’ll have a spare; And so in the future we shall always know He has a permanent seat in the very front row. To “Dilly” Ross we owe great esteem For his courageous work on the football team. But if in the future he’s found lying on the field, Don’t worry, he’ll have this useful Blue Shield. When Jerry on some Saturday night Serenades Maureen in the pale moonlight This ukulele of fine selection, Should make her regard him with affection. Since Peter Somers, our class wolf, has a girl in every town. I’ll give him this engagement ring in hopes he’ll settle down; You never can tell what this ring will start; Some lucky girl may win his heart. Stanley Strok travels far and wide, And if some night he’s out of a ride, I’ll give him this little portable tent To take to Beverly where his time is spent. Sumner Tyler, here’s a canoe, An appropriate gift for Elly and you; But when you take her out for a ride, Remember the rules and look out for the tide. In politics David has all of us beat. And in Congress one day he’ll have a seat, They’ll promote him to judge as quick as can be This gavel will help him keep order you see. Now that my gifts are all given away, There’s one more thing I’d like to say “So long to the boys of ’51 And best of luck to everyone.” 25
