Tarnawa, Gentiluomo and Jimenez, by name, In 1944, to our cla-ss they came. 1945 Now came the year nineteen forty-five And our class really came alive. For what to our wondering eyes do appear But Keith Huber and his Alaskan reindeer! Gus Mortensen and Dave Simmons we mustn't exclude Because to do so would be very rude. 1946 Nineteen forty-six rang the bell, For it brought us Bob Punyon, better known as HMel.i' This was the year of the great phenomenon, And to school came Gagel, Andreotti, and Donn. To 'LBuster', Bridges and Patty Lee, Happy days, in our crystal we foresee. To round out our class in a spirit of cheer We welcomed Dave Miller to end the year. 32

1947 Fred Klutsch and Dick Strauss We never had seen before, Nor 'cBarney'7 Weston, nor Barry Goodstein, But we welcomed them into the corps. From Brooklyn came the pool-table king, Jerry Garson, and Nick Pappas who really can sing. And from South America, land of the gay caballero, Our lovers, Juan Henriquez and Gus Loureiro. 1948 It couldnat be luck so it must have been fate, For Gladstone and Smith entered in forty-eight. Gil Vogel brought us his corny jokes And ccwild Bill Collis came with Nick Stokes. Egypt left us Joe 4'Sahara,' Shalam, And from somewhere came Howie Gerberbaum. Greece gave us Mantzouranisg South America, Oriol. Only one year remained till We reached our goal. 1949 At last came the year nineteen forty-nine, And Paul Levy and Gus Santaella fell into line. From Panama came Duque, and from R. 1., Pete Watjen, If you donlt think they're O. K., why, just watch 'emi So as the years went by and hy, Our class, it grew and grew, And as the class became larger, The amount of demerits did too. The soaks We cannot count, The number, it is so great, But since it's our graduation day, Major Connolly, you are too late! Commencement day has finally arrived, Cone are the days on which we have thrived, Remaining are memories, and they will endure To be savored for years, you may be sure. So let us sadly sing our song, May this refrain always remain, uQuit You Like Men, Be Strong V, And many years from now W'hen we are old and gray, Let's all remember the happy days We spent at P. M.
