Secondly after seven years and you being one of muny, many classes the memories are limited.

Devonne Coffman--so serious. Put Curwen--cute us could be. Jenn Grey--so graceful. Leonnrd holhu--still wuter runs deep. Ruth Marie Lord--never e mistake. Cirol Sears--quite e lady. Alice Schaefer--couldn't keep up with her. Rose Andersonm-boshful. Jerry Blakely--not es serious us he looked. Jack Phillips--could just about get away with anything because of thot giggle. Blair Wildermuth--very pleasing. Louie Carlson--good looking. Jack Jones--sense of humor.
