CLASS POEM Seniors, here, Seniors there, Seniors, Seniors, everywhere, Some are good, some are bad, Some are better than the rest, But Spottswood Seniors are the best. First, is Alice, likeable and gay, Will She Succeed? Yes, all the way. For a better friend she can’t be beat, In everything she is very neat. There’s Terry, witty and bright, Will he work, with all his might? He’s very quiet lad, You never see him blue or sad. Mary Helen is sweet and studious as can be, But an Old Maid we’ll probably see. She’s been a friend to one and all. Ready to help when’er you call. To Harold with fun and wit, He never seems to worry a bit. Off to college, we’ll probably see, For a veterinarian he’ll probably be. To you Bill, our Athletic Star, For you’re a sport, that’ll go far. We hope your future will be good to you, And may your dreams of “Coaching” come true. Skipping school seems to be Arthur’s hobby Off to town he takes in anyone’s jalopy. But when it’s time for his date, He’ll be waiting at Pauline’s gate. In classes, Adair rates as the laziest one, He seems to vanish when things are to be done. He’ll eat, play and laugh all day, But the teachers’ rules he can’t obey. Maxie is our quiet one, But without books, you’ll find he’s fun, He’s not much out for show, But his ambition will find him on the radio. Margie is our chatterbox, Around her all the boys flock. About what she’s going to be, We’ll have to wait and see. Robert dresses as neat as a pin, He ' s the one girls would like to win. He’s also sweet and kind, A better friend you can’t find. Eloise is sweet and kind as you can see, A soldiers wife she hopes to be. None knows what she wants to do, But to him we know she’ll be true. Of all the light heart’s in our class, Bobby G. worked hard up to the last, To Ramsey’s Motor Co. he will go, To be a mechanic there we know. Norine has made all her grades high, You can never hear a mean sigh. She has decided that her ambition calls, Within Leggett’s Dept, store walls. Steve is our studious one, Without him, classes wouldn’t be fun. About what he wants to be We’ll have to wait and see. Mary Catherine is our laziest one, But she giggles and has her fun. She keeps the boys frcm being blue, But to George she’s always true. Being mean is Eddie’s habit. His hobby must be raising rabbits, He has a temper that whirls like a fan, With his jeep he’ll be a great man. James is our nice one. Very kind and true. With his harp he’ll bring happiness, And keep his future “Mrs. ’’ from blue. Verney can be a lot of fun, To know him is a treat. Without his jokes and laughter, Our class wouldn’t be complete, Charles studies, we all know, Away from Spottswood with honors he’ll Along with his books he’s fun, you see. He’s a true friend to you and me. Mary Alice is our best one, She is the one with all the fun. But she sits just like a board. When she is riding in a Little Ford Bobby Lee is little and short, Get him mad and hear him snort. Although he’s cute as can be, A better friend you’ll never see. Roy is our mischevbous one, He never knows what to do. He’s always into trouble, Or looking for the girls, too. Glenn is our tall one, With his friends he has lots of fun, About what he wants to be, We’ll all have to wait and see. Bery Lunsford is the one, Who never gets his lessons done, He is sweet and lazy as can be But he’s always happy and carefree. Clayburn is our quiet one, With helpfulness on his mind,, And when you want a true friend, He isn’t hard to find. Although Raymonds hair isn’t wavy, His career will find him in the Navy, Whether East, North, South, or West, He wishes each of you all success, To Cecil, we see a basketball star, With ability he will go far. May his life always be gay Leading in sports all the way.
