Now that we've cornered the sugar and spice, let's see what else we can find that's nice. Why, our Class presidents name seems to rhyme with nice, so first of all we give you . . . lay Geise. He's a popular athlete, but his talents vary, .Where did he get such a broad vocabulary? Kirby, how come you throw out such a scare? Come out from behind that horrible glare, For underneath l know, tho l've never been told, You're concealing a very big heart of gold. Coco can play in any game, lust mention the sport, you'll find his name. He's musical too, why, didnt you hear? He'll direct his own orchestra within a year. One by one they come out of the house, To the names of Ducky, Pop-Eye and Smouse. He's needed on the team for he fights with a will, But his heart, they say, is in Shortsville. We've a tall, handsome blonde with curly hair . . Well liked by all, but l do declare He's the silent type . . seldom talks, lust what are you thinking about, Norman Hawkes? Huffy manages all things well From basketball to problems at hand. Let's watch his future . , one never can tell, He may win acclaim throughout the land. fTime out for a bit of free verse, if you please, Theres no rhyme to handle our greatest teasej Such a happy nature should never be squelched . , But there goes that teacher again by George Why must she be so indignant at a few Hee- Hawes ? Ai really good fellow, polite and gay, He'll make his mark as a salesman some day. l'm telling you, never let it be said That a violent temper goes with a hair of red, To contradict such a stated brand We have our proof . . in Hilde-brand. For as people come and as people go, A more amiable fellow w'e'll never know. Chippy's a favorite wherever he travels . . Did you ever listen to all the tales he unravels? He's quite a guy . . this handsome G. I. For Piercy we order all the breaks ln any project he undertakes, We know he's capable, hard working, too, ln anything he sets out to do. Let's give our business manager a great big hand , , His year book project was very well planned. To his oldest friends he may remain lead-toes, But success will follow' him wherever he goes.

We have in our midst a nurses aide . . Shes pretty, shes Winsome and, so they tell, Her patients at Clifton scorn getting well. Sophisticated lady, with lots of style, An actress, too, you'll all agree. ' We predict for her in a very short while A prominent place in society. l've another in mind both pretty and witty . . Iingles and rhymes shes writes in a jiffy. Shes never known to shrink from work, She's a friend to all is .... Then theres a girl with that grand old name, She leads us all in a hearty cheer.
