Larry owned a Ford, colored black. I-Ie often stole watermelons by the sack, Now he plays with his kids on the fresh green grass And teaches the gospel from a pulpit of brass. Karen was both bright and tall She really liked to play basketball. She was taken to New York by her loving pop Now she is walking the beat as a cop. Bruce is the boy with the shy, bothered look. He liked to hunt by the shady brook. Now he teaches the Golden Rule For he's the Principal of his old school. That ends the story of the grads of '5S. We think their lives turned out just great. We hope you enjoyed these little rhymes Which proved they had some grand ole times. W ass Janet Barber requests that the Navy or Marines let loose one of her boys. Karlton Fullenworth wills his blush to Ronnie Bjorkland. Gary Garton wills his height to Gary Rosene. Bill Gee wills his wolf techniques to Bob McGowan. Bob Gee wills his hair to Mr. Kingery because he has caused Mr. Kingery to pull out most of his own. After much deliberation Janice Janssen wills nothing to no one because she liked everything she has. Larry Kingery wills his Model A to Kirk so he can give Sheryl a ride once a week. Donna Lundberg wills her ability to keep quiet to Alice Mae. Jeanne Raper wills her driving ability UQ to Mr. Hazelhoff so he can use it in his driver's training class. Jerry Raper wills his ability to keep in trouble to Evelyn Bennett. Larry Sassman wills his football ability to Ronnie Wood.

cgfze cgmiy-gigfzters in 378 As we continue in our Memory Book Let us stop and take a look And see what happened to the grads After they grew up from lassies and lads. ' Janet Barber is the first on the list. We remember how she thought she'd be missed By her true love in bright shining armour- - But she wasn't, she is the wife of a farmer. Karlton was such a quiet guy Until rock and roll blew him sky high, He bought a guitar and started to shake Decca called and gave him a break. Sputnik went up in Gary's senior year. Now he's whirling around in the atmosphere. He was the first speciman to go up Second only to the little pup. Robert Gee was his name, better known as Bob. I'm glad to report that a bank he didn't rob. He started to farm and look after the soil But he got lucky and struck lots of oil. William Gee was the lady's man He never scrubbed a dish or pan. Now he's alone on a desolate isle And seldom grins his big-toothed smile. Janice had a diamond sparkling And with Rog she did all her parking. Her ambition was once to fly a plane But she crashed and is now camping in Maine. Larry K. had the redde st hair And for nonsense he did not care, Now he's with the Alaskan Branch Growing chickens on a ranch. Donna Lundberg had long black hair She never had a worry or seldom a care. But now Donna is queen of the ball She likes them all--slim, fat, or tall. Jeanne was the girl with the light brown hair And most of the boys thought that she was so fair. Now she goes to the garden with rakes and spades Because she is one of Marathon's old maids. Jerry Raper always was rather mean He tried to do things that couldn't be seen. It's supper time now when he hears the bell ring F01 he is a boarder in a place called Sing Sing.
