Georgie Roach is the little blonde, Who lives on main street of her town, And whenever you don't hear any bragging You know she isn't around. Next we have a very nice girl, Dorothy Morris Who is very smart in her books, If you don't know how sweet girls are Just take a peep at her looks. And I, Allen,Dunn, the guy from Ivy, And I'm not bragging, but it's fine, I was so bright in all my subjects, The teachers just called me Sunshine. And now each one of us, Will be soon without a teacher, Upon our own in life, To help the younger reacher. We will drift far apart but , Memories will linger with each girl and boy, How we worked and played together And shared each sorrow and joy. 24

Fred Frazier is our quietest member And very nice and polite, He's the only married one of us But he claims it is quite all right. Then there's Julian Via, Who tells a bifg tale once in a while To add more fun and joy, And leave everyone with a big smile. We cannot forget James Yowell, The boy who studies the hardest of us all From the way he studies, He shows all of us up in the fall. Lewis Harmon is a lot of fun Wherever he might go, He adds much to the life of a party, As we all do know. We must not forget Jean Burruss, The cute one with bangs cut in her hair, A girl of her disposition Is very, very rare. A girl from way up Boonesville, Has the name of Phyllis Herring, She has to be present in crowds To keep things always stirring. Nellie Cash is next on my list The quietest of the girls around school, A very nice girl for someone But I hope not any old fool., Ann Wood is one who once gets started Doesn't know when to stop, If you try to tell the biggest tale, She, most of the time, ends on top. Mary Ann Gibson is the girl, Who tries very much to do right She clears herself of troubles Without even starting a fight. And more like Aleyce Price, We could use in this world, If you don't believe me, Ask most any boy or girl. Z3
