his ,Wg ..,-ns., I Mac Riibley is a bashful boy, You hardly ever hear him speak, Loafing is his favorite joy, He does it each day of the week. Jim Paul is a Senior boy Who is always on the beam: In basketball, he does his best, He's the center of the team. Another farmer of the class, we find, Is tall and dark-haired Wayne, We know his crops will turn out best, For his efforts won't be in vain. Darlene Manuel is our cheerleader, She really has lots of zestg Of all the boys at Mahomet High She likes Jerry Brownfield the best. Jeannine Zindars dreams of being a farmer's wife, For her, that would be the ideal lifeg She goes with Warren R., her favorite man, To marry and settle down is indeed her plan. Ann Dickman is the brain of the class, And when it comes to school work, she will passg As for her love life, we will hover, But take heed. Don't judge a book by its cover. Now Glenn Lindsey is quite a Romeo, For all the Champaign girls should know, And from all his laughs and kisses, We hope he will find the ideal Missus. With Glenn Lindsey you'll find this guy. He's tall, dark, and certainly shyg In track he's faster than all the rest, For his name is Bob Shirley, as you've probably guessed. Ronald Shelton and Bill Herriott are the poets of the yea: For they wrote the lines you have read hereg They sweat and they toiled for many a long day, But for their good work, they received no pay. THE END
