CLASS POEM There was a tali blonde named Jack. Who was the president of his pack; He met a girl named Ginge. His heart grew loose on its hinge. And always kept right on her track. And here's a young miss named Mary. Who of the skating rink did not weary. The time flew by. She met a guy. Of Eddie did she tire. nary. When Dick's green car comes along. Mary Alice is there with a song; She designs clothes. And everyone knows. That she will always get along. Tina's passing fancies passed, Then her music rated class; She met some guys. Said good-byes. Now she's still a musical lass This tall James from the farm, Many girls did alarm; He would not date, Nor would he relate. Why the farm kept all of his charm. About Thelma there's a joke. For her fella was always broke. Strange enough tho' He always found dough, To buy many a car and cloak. Cheryl and Irene, two of our girls. And Doris, who has red curls. Have a very high aim. Which is one and the same. Nurses they'd be, these pearls. A cheerleader is our Joyce; As this, she makes much noise. And with Doris. Joking for us, Laughter brings from girls and boys. As Tom Bartlett in our senior play; Charles caused trouble night and day Songs about flowers. Spilt flour in showers, All making the audience gay. Now, two senior girls have we: Lorraine, and also Marjorie; No matter what day. It was true, that they Knew all the answers in History. Dramatics heads the list Of Nancy Scott, a tall blonde miss. In both our plays. She labored days, And helped make a big success. Donna Lambert's big blue eyes. Expressed moods, gay and otherwise Notes during classes. To the lasses. Helped her poetry to devise Helen Burk, with honors galore. With Donna and Carol . . . and what's more. Play or work. They'll never shirk; These pals, we'll always adore. This blonde curly-haired Joan, And Doris Fredericks, our own. With all their art. Gave the class a start. And made our events to the public known. Twila and Shirley, among other things. Have a hobby of collecting rings; But Donna, their friend. Had but one yen. To keep Bob tied to her heart-strings. Only one year was this boy with us, You see it is our own Ray Elgas. And then there's Pete. With appearance neat. The student council Prexy was. In his green Ford we knew 'twas Fred. Though we could see only his head; He's fancy free. But wants to be. An architect, he has said. Last but not least our lover of cars. Is Dick Richter, a classmate of ours; In a model B. Or a model T, He thought his car would go to Mars 21
