Lawrence High School Caroline Gomes in shorthand and typing Could make her fingers go like lightening, But now she toe dances as she goes And instead of her fingers uses her toes. In Jimmy Wynne we had what’s rare, A gentle boy with blazing hair. He’s a sailor now on t he bounding Main, But when ashore, he raises Cain. There was a maiden, short and sitout. Her name was hard to spell all out. Yes, Mary Fernandes is the one — She’s making the famous Fernandes gum. Elmer Fuller, Gumpy for short, Is now a fish warden, believe it or not. Of tennis once he was very fond, Now that’s forgotten — he’s guard- ing a “Pond”. When Julia Parker went out West To Hollywood, she was a pest Until she played as she knew best, And then, oh boy! Good-bye Mae West. An outstanding athlete was Donald Ellery. He also was bright in everything generally. But now he’s a dealer in ice and fish — Cynthia, did you have a hand in this? Connie Bourne was a sprightly Miss Whom all the boys would have liked to kiss, But Connie’s heart too long did roam — Her address is now an old maids’ home. We welcomed handy Dick Cardoza Who rangs the bells when class was over. Now when he rings he starts up moans For Dick’s a salesman canvassing homes. Of Jimmy Costa it’s hard to say How many could guess where he is today. He went to the south seas to dive for pearls, And is making a hit with the native girls. You’ve seen the changes time has wrought In that audacious, silly lot. Where they’ll be later I cannot tell, But wherever they are, I wish them well. Beatrice Jane Douthart. CLASS GIFTS TO THE BOYS The first name I have is Roger Savery. For a while this year Roger was a “Hastay” man, but when he went to the hospital he lost his speed. To see if you can catch up with what you lost, Roger I present you with this little car. Donald Abbott is our little, but cur mighty, man. Donald so that your brawn can catch up with your brain I want you to take a lesson from Popeye, and accept this can of spinach. We have a boy in our class who is a very colorless sort of a person. Jimmy Wynne, please come up here. Jimmy, to make you a little more colorful, for a change, I present you with this box of rouge.
