Carl Davison Marion Winchell Lorene Whited lass Poem Thrcirgh four short years of toil interspersed with careless' play, This class together struggled And met what came their way. This group of nonconformists Never could agree, They'd argue with careless banter Though a reason they couldn't see. Now ba.shful Bob is quite a man Tis very plain to note. Ah, let me live with memories! His very words I quote. Just think of luxurious, brilliant, black hair And Virginia Gee comes to your mind, She attends almost every public affair. And treats all the kids most kind. A lad we all like very well, A cute guy, you can see. We all think he is mighty swell. His name is Louis Z.

las Poem m... .ms Marion, well, he's just our Man. He is so big and strong. A fiction book is his main repast And that boy is never wrong. Carl, the friend of all he knows, With his red and wavy hair, If you see a lot of pretty girls I think you'll find him there. In boxing this boy is really fast. He seems to dote on fun., This is Clyde, our president, And a friend of everyone. Of course there's Beulah, who likes to dance Or go riding in a Plymouth car. She studies when she gets a chance Though her sleep is seldom up to par, Next we're proud to mention Christian, a boy from the farm, And he deserves attention For his friendliness and charm. Next we have a hard working lad Who is a blue-eyed farmer boy. He is always happy and cheerful And goes ,by the name, Le Roy, Remember our valedictorian Who has studied and worked so hard. Onilee is our secretary And kept our records from becoming marred. Lorene, our Army girl, She wants to help Uncle Sam. She means to keep up the morale Of a certain young army man. Vivian has pretty blond hair Of which she is very proud. She likes to play the piano Especially for a crowd. Margaret, who likes the name Georgie, Is short but not very shy. She likes to study sometimes And everything she gives a try. John has his good points and his bad And he's a swell guy to have around. He's a brilliant, attractive lad Who is fond of Riverside grcund. Notice Dorothy who is timid and shyg Who is friendly and Slightly deinure, I'm not positive that she's a baker But she's liked by all, I'm sure. Short and stubby and full of fun And her work she never does dodge, She'll never forget a favor, This is Virginia Hodge. Now Milton is our class poet Who drives a Model-A. I suppose most folks do know it That he's always happy and gay. This brings to a close our roll call Of the class of '42. We hope that you've enjoyed it So good-bye and good luck to you. LeRoy Doncheske, ,Milton Suck
