Statistics We are the class of forty-eight, And hope we ' ll amount to something great. We ' ve come to the place where we must part, To follow the wish of each one ' s heart. In these short lines we now express, Worthy ambitions toward which we press : When you need some help in home-making, Consult Phyllis for decorating. Donnie is making plans to be A volunteer for the big army. And Bussie quite soon may be seen Wearing the suit of a merchant marine. Phoebe is surely bound to be Somebody ' s private secretary. Bill is going to M. I. T. An electrical engineer to be. To what sure height will Betty soar, Beyond that of an operator? To help and nurse humanity ' s needs Of body and soul, Shirley proceeds. Jean to Bay Path has planned to go, For advance in typing and steno . Ted ' s not the kind to ever shirk, He plans to try auto-body work. Too soon we will these portals leave, And may we our high ideals achieve. Shirley Martin
