To Eleanor Beers, the quiet one, We give this megaphone To help her in her future years To magnify her tone. Claudia, you have quite a future Marriage-love-a home, However, you'll find these carrots helpful You can't live on love alone. To the sailor of the Senior Class George Roman is his name We give this little Coast-Guard boat In hope it'll bring him fame. For Daryl, who's always late to school A dependable alarm clock we bring So he'll jump out of bed and run down the stairs Whenever he hears it ring. Gilbert, your hair is quite a problem And we've had to search the town In order to find this bottle of glue To help you keep it down. To Jimmy, whose car is his whole life This box of bolts we spare, For everyone that drives a Ford Has to keep it in repair. To tiny Margaret Busch we give This whip so big and large So that when she is a teacher She'll be boss when she's in charge. To daredevil driver Lucas Whose luck is sometimes bad We give this little armored car To replace the one of his Dad. Marilyn Noe's father works very hard all day Directing traffic on the street and putting crooks away. This sign, we hope, will lessen the traffic by his door, For Noe's drive is always packed, by a dozen cars or more To play in class is Phil's delight To please him is our joy To him we give this baby's rattle For he's still a little boy.
