Ramona Goodman has been known To dream some now and then From dreams someday a home will grow And dreams will be have been.” Shirley Gross can bake a cake Or type a letter swell And either way the dough she’ll make But only time will tell. The guy who’s really on the ball When basketball’s concerned Is Dick Kindig, who’s stout and tall His letter he has earned. Wilma Kindig played the role Of Beulah in our play In Home Ec. she is in the know Her grade is always A”. Delores Lewis is the lass Who’ll always smile for you This quiet redhead in our class Is called a bookworm, too. McKinney is our pint size guy His height is six foot three His car has wings so it can fly May good luck pilot thee. A boy named Marshall takes the cakes In laughs and jokes and such A lot of friends he always makes But girls, Beware his clutch.” The boy who loves the cars by Ford” The cars that take the test Our John Mellott is always bored When Chrysler says it’s best. A blonde who’s short as short can be That’s Georgia N. you know She likes a guy named Tubby C. Who’s now an Army Joe.” A boy named Donald takes the crown As far as shy things go You hardly know when he’s around This boy you ought to know.
