Verses to 1952 Young Thomas A. Edison Armstrong Is viewed by his friends with alarm, strong. Such strings and such wires And junk jeff acquires He ought to be spanked with an arm, strong. Beattie's a two season skier. A mountain or lake is his sphere. The summer folk thrill When jack takes a spill At Winnisquam, or the Weir. Phil Brown and the cleaner agree That Proctor is clean as can be. But after june third We've recently heard The Navy will clean Phil for free. A Shaker Heights senior named Cozier As pitcher showed lots of composure. Will this coolness entrance Kenny's girl at a dance? Or should Cozier get cosier and cosier? From East Dennis, Mass., comes Seth Crowell. He's quiet as fish in a bowl. But snakes in his bed Make Crowell see red. He'll bellow from New Year's to Noel. Dave Farrell at Proctor has been From birth to the age of eighteen. This long education Before graduation Has done wonderful things for his skiin'. That old Ding Dong Daddy named Field To fan clubs has greatly appealed. His valedictory Will top off the story, And then, look out Harvard, here's Field! Bob Finney iust follows the sun. Sarasota - Nantucket - it's fun. With a job on the beach - Lots of girls within reach - What use is an education? Fred Gates is so awfully nice We hope that he's showered with Rice. With his Chevrolet Who can say? Who can say? There's a chance he needs our advice. That great sailor, David M. Gleason Is dressing more sharply this season. His clothes make the Truman Sports shirts seem quite human. Do you think that a girl is the reason? For Charles Burton Gulick the third And trombone, let's say a kind word. For Terry can boss Teams, library, Red Cross. We like the guy - both seen and heard. Hartwick is the arguing kind. He'll argue you out of your mind. Twixt Andover, Mass. And Proctor, alas, We don't know to which he's inclined. Mal Jones, that inventor of note Can build you a plane or a boat With modern designs Or Venetian blinds. But oh, can they fly? Can they float? If you can't tell MacColl from Mancoll, It's Alec who skied on his ancoll. And Alec, in brief, Is shorter on teeth, While Jonesie's Legree was H. Mancoll At tennis George W. McLain Has proved himself really a brain. The number one ace Of Pro joe LaCasce, He bears Burden's Burden, with pain. When Recap's speech-making was o'er It greatly upset Tony Moore. This great football end Had MacKenzie's to tend, But that job will bore Moore no more. Some days ago, Richard B. Moritz Was missing at night from his fioor. It's Plain that in brief He has turned a new leaf And now he's so good that a bore, it's. Our Fire Commissioner Art Has had an incendiary heart. He checked in with Wally Too late. Now by golly, He gets Pop's advice at the start. A practical man is Rathbone. He's one of Vermont's very own. He's tall and he's silent. His humor is violent. It's going to be dull when he's gone. From Goffstown comes Recap Rice, Tony His senior speech surely was phony. He turned a bright red And took to his bed And now he's called Ice Cap Rice, Tony. Chuck Riley's the great home-run king. He has a most powerful swing. And I think it's nice To know the police. In trouble, it takes out the sting. That tall and terrific Dave Steel For Walnut Hill has great appeal. It's easy to see He's too old to ski. fYou're only as young as you feel.J A skier named Lunsford Yandell Skied Chile with skis parallel. He worked out by day With Emile Allais, But evenings he thrilled the hotel.
