Forty probies in Sayre did appear. The entire forty were bashful and shy, lt's hard to believe-but won 't you try? Let's take them all-one by one, A11d hope that they aeeept in fun. Then as I give them out to you- It's the Senior Class on review. Mary Harding-studious, alert, sincere, She delves into new projeets without a fear. From California, Dottie hails, For the R. P. II. she'll never fail. Hunting is Ruth's delight- A dog, a gun, and she's all right. For Ginny , small. dark and snappy, NVQ: know with Frank, she'll be quite happy. .And B. J.- Tender, slender. and tall . Got to get out of here by fall! For Kate-don't get excited on your walks, Aurieular Hbrillation is all the talk. A diamond for Mary, was David's last gift, We hope this thing doesn't go adrift. -o-o- -va-o-0--0-0-o--o-o-0-seo-o-0-1-0--v The Nucleus 1943-Page Fifty-four -0--o--o--onn--o--o--o--0--n--a--on--o--n--o--o--o--of-a
