To tlie Seniors of 1951 There are twenty-six letters in the alphabet, And just thirteen Seniors in which to get A list of phrases to match them by; So what can I do? Well, I can try! A —is for Anna Belle, two talents or more, A whiz on the french horn or wit galore. B is for Beulah, a dignified girl, She’s quiet but gives one boy’s heart a whirl. C is for Christensen, Tom is his first name, On a “B” flat cornet, he’s sure to win fame. D -is for Diane, with talents so many; Brains, alto, clarinet, none excels her any. E and F are misfits in this c lass so small, They might- stand for ego, farce, or not at all. G is for George, with a good open face; He’s honest and square, he will fit any place. II is for Heard, you’ve all “heard” of her, She’s a teacher’s pet, and that’s for sure. I is for Isaac, a half-pint wee wee, She plays a big horn three times larger than she. J is for Joe, he’s “Hardy” and strong; He’s bashful, but girls, you can’t go wrong. K is for “krash”, that’s what we all hear, The Seniors in the halls or anywhere near. L is for Larry, he’s got curly hair,, No finer boy you’ll find anywhere. M is for Marilyn, those great big brown eyes. There’s truth in those orbs and riot big black lies. N is for Nadine, personality plus; Did you ever see her in a Chevrolet bus? 0, P, 0, R, S, a hodge-podge of no getters, The ’51 Seniors fit none of these letters. T is for Tally, this name fils and more, In basketball games, “Tallies” up a big score. U, V, W, X, I still find no reason, To affix non-de-plumes at all, this season. Y —is for Young, but what’s in a name, He’s “Old” in experience, with babe, doll, or dame. Z is for Zike, zebra or zel. At least it winds up this mess pretty well. The Seniors this year are of two kinds. There's boys and there's girls of two different minds. The girls are quite snappy and have a good time: The boys are sophisticated, (this line must rhyme). But here's to the Seniors af ’51, We surely will miss them when they are gone: And whatever happens or comes to pass. They're “darn swell kids’’ in any class. NEAL H. ZIKE
