S tt i 'poem We are always on the run; That is, the class of 61. Bob Adams, a studious guy; Is good in sports, but kinda shy. Chuck Andrews with hair of black, When it comes to a joke, he's sharp as a tack. Bill Boen is always a twinkle; And everybody calls him--Bo winkle. Sandra Birge, jolly and gay; Is fun at a party any old day. Pricilla Boyd is a happy girl; But waiting for Ray keeps her all awhirl. Mike Cannon likes old cars; If with him you ride, you may see stars. Jim Creason, never moody; When he's around his girl, Judy. Our man DeRay, his name is Ed; When Mary's around, he loses his head. Marjorie Cox, we call her Marge; When she's around, we get quite a charge. Carolyn Cunningham, timid and sweet; Always looks very neat. Earl Durbin, He's walkin' back; Wonder what happened to his Cadillac. Phyllis DeMoss, you wanna bet; That she likes to play her clarinet. Dianne Douglass worked hard on the Sweetheart We always smile when she comes down the hall. Mary Ruth Duke, the studious kind; Is very helpful, you will find. Martha Ellis likes her horse to ride; But when Larry's there, she'll lead it aside. Emile Farnum, although he's not tall; We all think, he's quite a ball. Sharon Faulkner's the talkative type; But she's our friend, we never gripe. Dorothy Ferling, with hair long and brown, She always loves to go to town. Jerry Fourez is meek and mild; I wonder how he'd act if he ever got riled. Sally Goodwine is real witty; And besides she's awfully pretty. Sandy Grimes, hair blonde wavy; Has a guy who's in the navy. Our cheerleader who is Connie Grimm Is always very pert and prim. Diana Hall, our Homecoming Queen; Without a smile is never seen. Marilyn Hays is always ready; To take Butch Rohrer for her steady. Linda Hazelbaker, with an engagement ring; Going to Chicago is her favorite fling. Sandy Hazelbaker, sugar and spice; Everyone thinks she's very nice. Sara Howie hails from Mauck Lane; Ask her to do something, she's always game. Rita Ingram, with her long pony tail; In her studies, she will smoothly sail. Gloria Key, we all lend an ear; Because she's new around this year. Karen Kinney, she's in the band; And on those drums, she's really grand. Ed Kirkpatrick doesn't say a great deal; His secret ambition-----John B. McNeill. Dale Liggett, blond and tall, Is very good at basketball. Jim Liggett, a good student in ag; When it comes to Linda, he never goes stag. Avalon Loeffler, is blonde and witty; She had a wreck------oh what a pity. Virginia Long likes to date; Better yet, she likes to skate. One who's courteous, is Connie Lowe, She is never without a beau. Jim Miller is all aglow; He's kinda tacked to Connie Lowe. Jerilyn Miles is hard to beat; When at the table ready to eat. Gloria Rasberry is quite a cat; We all know she's a Democrat. 12

Settc t i oe t David Pals, with a T-Bird car; While in class is wittiest by far. Jerry Pollock, for a semester has gone; But in our minds, he will live on. Jim Rogers of whom we are all a fan; Just happens to be a music man. Lawrence Saults, he's all right; He's got a Ford of red and white. Beverlie Richter, she likes to draw; She is well liked by all. Joyce Saathoff, the Oak News does run; Takes Allen when it comes to fun. Karen Sawyer is very cute; When it comes to sports, she does root. Trena Smith is head of the band; When it's time for songs, she's always on Our tall, dark haired Pat Stroud Never speaks very loud. Marcia Swengel, smart and neat; Always refuses to eat meat. Jon Shroyer is a fool; That is, over his slide rule. Tom Verhoeven, everyone's friend; We all think he's the livin' end. Irene Vinson, French and fair; Will do anything on a dare. Judy Vinson, short and sweet; In her studies can't be beat. Jim White, leader of our class; We all know he's bound to pass. Ed White, one of the studious boys; From him you never hear much noise. Howard Wiese, a lot of fun, From no one will he ever run. Best dressed is our own Earl Wynn; You never find him without a grin. Larry Young, with curly black hair; Has a complexion that is fair. This poem is done; We've had some fun; Now Judy and Rene are on the run.
