32 THE SKETCH Popularity Contest I Sweetest Seventh Mary Sue You'll do Tho' only eleven The sweetest seven A Goodness gracious Good for you Thus another page in history is turned and we Hnd Mary Sue Lavengood 7 actress, authoress, poetess, and patron of the Hner arts has done it again. Hear ye, hear ye. Hear ye! Hear ye! far and wide Mary Sue Lavengood hits her stride Macey! Macey! is her name Round the world goes her fame So the story goes. Macey does it again. Super seventh of them all--hope she doesn't slip and fall. Exceptional Eighth Fred Shinault is our eighth grade choice With hair so red and his golden voice. They picked him cause he was outstanding And all the gals were so demanding. We knew him when he was a little seventh grader and he was a very nice boy then. Now, he has grown up and is ready to go into ninth grade again. We hope he lets himself do it this time 'cause some of the teachers are getting afraid he's going to make the eighth grade his career. And by the way-you really ought to see the way he handles a basketball. Nicest Ninth Grader Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who is the nicest ninth of all? Becky Connelly is her name. And again she wins great fame. As a seventh grader we found our little Becky rating as the sweetest of her class and now as the years, ftwo to be exactj roll by, we ind her class- mates still consider her as tops. Congratulations, Becky. Most Courteous Student Diogenes with his lantern couldn't have been more diligent in his search for an honest man than our reporter was as he sought the most courteous student at Martin Boots. After spending long hours putting the nearest contenders for the title to the test, he Hnally emerged triumphant holding up the hand of The Winnah-Jim May. Best Girl Sport The best girl sport is a sure bet Ancl we'll tell you now it's Mary jo Lett. L After wading through stacks of votes we found we were right in the first place. It was a waste of time because no one else had a chance. Mary Jo was far in the lead and could have won at a walk. 1
