RAKING UP THE LEAVES The wind has shaken the leaves from the branches of our Elm, Their courses steered by experiences of time with Northampton at the helm And now 'tis time to rake them in and see the work of fate, The future of each Hamp School Senior from class of '48, We'll start at the beginning and begin with A. A for Atkinson, Allen and Ahern, we say. Beryl, we see teaching a French class in France Paris, Marseilles? No Muzon was her chance. Sally is working hard even through noon, Cn the Roto Gravure of the Herald Tribune. Loretta is deep in an experiment of chem. Dissecting an appendix. My, it's a gem. Annie Babbitt's leaf at the end of the dike fell, And there she met a handsome young man, we heard tell. Away to a farm he took her for his wife, Where Annie will milk cows for the rest of her life. Our own Barbara Bennett with the coal-black locks Now works with discounts at the famed G. Fox. Gerry is competent, brainy, and wise, Miss Ascher's assistant to teach and advise. One leaf was blown by the breeze to New York, Sue's dance is the rage of 21 and the Stork. The new Bruce philosophy is what you should know. She's following the footsteps of Judd, Emerson, and Thoreau Janie C. is analyzing a child-at last, And it's her own Bill Jr. who's growing real fast. Line forms to the right for the Colorado belle, XVhich one of her suitors she couldn't quite tell, A southern accent with this one, the northern with that, Shirley got them mixed up and now she just doesn't chat. The book of the month, its profits most rewardin' Of course it's written and illustrated by Cowarding Nancy is planning N. Y.'s social whirl, At dances and parties, she's now quite a girl, She's out all night, she sleeps while she may, She hasn't changed much, our Nancy Day. Dodge went to Aspen to learn how to ski, She fell off the lift and landed in a tree. She sat there and waited till a Scotchman passed by, She whistled, she winked, she finally caught his eye.

Husbands pace the hospital floor, from out of space comes a sob, But the little boy is doing fine, Nurse Young 1S on the job. A voyage to China, a trip to Japan, In the South Sea Islands, Linda found her man. She's set the hearts of men afsighing, For her whole world is slowly dying, A whole new era of radio has begun, It's Jackie's voice that started the fun. Tanya is drawing in plenty of dough, From those Russian pictures that help relations so. Our other Nancy's leaf is still flying around, It just couldn't decide where to hit the ground. Frannie's a Vassar Grad, sophisticated and chic, Who petrifies people with her radio horror shriek. May's leaf blew far to the land of Brazil, Her own coffee beans she grinds and drinks coffee still. Wendy's down south in a warm sunny clime, Away from cold weather she's spending her time, But Carnival weekfend at Dartmouth rolls around, She just can't resist-in a snow drift she's found. The scissors, the scalpel-she has strong steady fingers, Janet's operation is done and life still lingers. Nikki is singing young Sammy to sleep, But Sammy's eyes don't stay closed-she sees him peep, The land of dreams will have to wait Till Nikki Hnishes--not too late. Betsy is teaching little ones how to read and write, In kindergarten and first grade, they work with all their might. Ann's tapping the trees in the wilds of Vermont, Of course-it's new plastics for Dupont. Newton has at last been brought to fame, Someone has just won the Miss America Contest-why, of course, it's Lane! Tell your little boy to the dentist he must go, He won't put up a fuss and holler, No, no, no! He'll say, Momma, my teeth how holey they feel, Why the sudden change? The dentist is MacNeil! Janie's known for her fabulous collection Of original earrings of most wonderful selection. Bobby's in Hollywood, photographing the stars, For the Pepsodent ads, and I eat Fifth Avenue Candy Bars. Kitty's in love, but this time it's real, She knows it will last by the way that she feels. Beth is a scientist, persistent and undismayed, Though along with her experiments, she's taking First Aid.
