Om' Class We are the Seniors who must leave This wonderful school behind, We've had great fun, But now that it's done, After all, I guess we don't mind. I should go right down the alphabet, But that is so hard to do, So I'll start in with one, And end up with none, And then my job will be through. Bob Park is president of this class, He is very efficient indeed, Bill Hawk takes his place When Bob's out of the race, And he surely is quick to heed. David Bowman likes the Millgrove girls, Sam Wunderbaum does, too, They play ball on high, When these girls stand by, And have a good time when it's through. We have cowboys and farmers here, also, Who have as good times as the rest, Denton Reff is the cowboy, Merle Norton is the ploughboy, And in studying they do their best. Betty Sills, our yell-leader, is leaving, Helen Riggs, our singer, is too. They'll be missed, I know, When they must go, But for that they shouldn't be blue. Inez Beeks likes a young man named Louie, Who was graduated a few years ago, Rose Norton is quiet, She never is high-hat, But none of the school boys is her beau. We have a pair of sweethearts, too, Jim Whitecotton and Velma Freeman. With them none can compare, 'Cause they go everywhere, In a V-8 that goes like a demon. Harold Brock was left over from last year, But he's going through this time, Betty Ellis went away, But she came back to stay, For she thinks this school is sublime. Mary Murle Pugh tells the teacher In our Health and Safety class. Bob Rayburn snoozes, But sometimes he chooses, To answer questions in Civics class. Dick Henderson is our little man, But he's as old as some of the rest. Warren Emshwiller is small, And not very tall, But at jokes he ranks with the best. john Clark is the one who gives friendly Before you get married, he says, think But Mildred says, No, What he says can't be so, Therefore I wonlt heed his advice. The three musketeers from Millgrove Were mentioned once before, They like 'Pelier boys, Who don't play with toys: Jeanne Holcroft, Valda Dennings, Janice Junior Cline is our student manager, James Marion is a quiet young lad, Bill Davis beats a drum, Violet Stafford can hum, Evelyn Richwine is usually glad. Von and Roy Rains are basketball boys, Esther Gerard plays the grand piano, Helen Davis plays trombone, Norma Shadle plays saxophone, advice, twice? Shroyer The school will miss them when they go. Gathel Walker is a 4-H club leader, Margaret Fisher is a bashful young lass, Mildred Johnson is talky , Fred Culberson is stocky, We're sure they all will pass. Wilma Cunnington likes to design dresses, Elaine is artistic, too. Bill Chaney is a drummer, Dee Towns is a runner, And Alberta wrote this for you. ....16... .
