Sue Amole, with her dainty ways, With Martin Backus is spending her days. Cowboy Kessler, true to his name, Has gone out west to win him some fame. Paul Backus, who is far from home, In Paul Whiteman's Orchestra plays the Saxophone. Frances Sutphin, alibrarian is she, Among her books as busy as a bee. Albert Fodor, fwe always called him Bugsl, Is now a great salesman of Oriental Rugs. A great surprise to all, was Homer Fitz- water, I-Ie fell in love with a girl, and chased her till he got'er. Bernard Flint loved a girl named Flossie, He doesn't love her now cause she's too bossy. Pud Frantz, although a timid little girl, Promised Cowboy she'd follow him to the end of the world. Ruth Perkins, Oh My! so studious is she- Has tagged to her name many a degree. Mattie Thompson, the wicked little thing, Searched for gold and found a wedding ring. Virgie Coleman, the most heartless of ' Hirts, To the surprise of all is washing shirts. Ruby Bishop still wears her grin And claims- red-hcaded boys her besetting . sin. Ruth Baumgartner in her heart still holds Love for that would-be-sheik, Otto Bowles. Lelia Alexander is a missionary in China, While Nellie Clatworthy has a home in - Carolina. Juanita Mills a nurse would be, But she married a seaman and now sails the sea. Harl Trump now lives in the sticks, What a shine he does cut with the wood- hicks! Ruby Blake, a dancer so gay, Lives in New York on the great White Way. Polly Drummond, how she sings like a lark, When she takes her kiddies to play in the park. Martha Meadows married a man named Baker, She wouldn't say yes so he just had to take her. Thoughts of Bill Bibb and Myrl Basham bring tears to my eyes, They long ago have left us for their home A in the skies. Famous in football is Ernie McCoy He's thought lots of and is a mighty good boy. Cecil Lindsay, with his shy ways and blushes, As a coach in a College gets all the rushes. Successful in business is Polly Long, She's famous in art but not in song. We all think Kat. Christian plays just grand, But it seems she just can't catch her a man. Olin Miller, the Pea Ridge Sheik, Is a traveling salesman and comes here once a week. Mabel Wooten, we all like her, Is a dealer in fine silks and fur. Andrew Wooten, with his eyes that smile, Teaches school on a Philippine Isle, PAGB27 O3-kai. D . -A, ...f6-.Kqi- -g,I.' .. ,xv . . ,I-qu Q Q Pa' Iveco' as . ,, Q. as .
