It was born too soon and died too late. Here lies Anne Cave. Her 9th husband put her in her grave. Here are the remains of Hutto, Mary Jane. The best chorus girl in the domain. Poor Ann Ballard-- If only she hadn't eaten that synthetic salad! I ' Here lies Barbara Poole. She died in horror of teaching' school. Here lies Mary Ellis Jones. May God rest hei weary bones. Life had ended for Mildred Luln. She swallowed too much chewing gum. This is what became of Loyce Scott She answered too many government forms. where, why and what. The end ol' Betty Hendrix is this: She fell off the desk-top yodeling Swiss. It was adios to Senorita Mary von Sprecken. She got tired ot' Spanish and just died, I reckon. Here lies Margie Carstarphen. She danced herself into her coffin. Here lies Marian Wright. She must not have seen that red light. Here we tind Sara Belle Slusky. She shouldn't have married a man so husky. Here rests Louise Little flown. No more can she thumb rides to town. This is the grave of Lillian VVonn. She was as short as her life was long. This's what becomes of girls like Elmo Fields. She tried to land her helicopter without any wheels. Here lies ltlarline Heck. Her head got disjointed stretching her neck. Here Mary Skip-Study liarrett doth lie- She shouts in her sleep, XYhy, one reason why! Here's the end of wee Jewell Russell. She got in this fix trying to hustle. Carolyn Havirfl, may she rest in peaceth Passed St. Peter by the skin of her teeth. llere's what became of Mary Greene: Her nose is still stuck in a magazine. This is what happened to Maxine McCall. She broke her jaw yelling YOU-ALL in the hall. Dorothy Morris drew in her line And gave up the ghost on a tombstone design. Here sleeps Kitty Smith serene Like she slept in class at sweet sixteen. Jewell Pereyra here makes her bed- Too much lipstick licked her, Miss Clark said. Shirley Koger. the Angels say. Was a first class she-cop in her day. VVhat became of Phyllis Lang? She argued with a battleship-hang! hang! hang! Here's the place where Quinn was interred But she talked herself out of it, so l've heard. Avonell Parkerson now is a hant Teaching the Freshmen to chew and rant. Where in this world is Ullainee? She sho' ain't here. Tl1at's plain to see. Caroline Broome is here deceased. But like Abou Ben Adaln, her tribe increased. Here are the light-bulbs from Room No. 20 so light. We never did use them: we were all so bright. Buried herc-with are the shades of Senior C 39. All turned to ribbons by the shorthand of time. To the rest of the Seniors-your space is resolved, We'l1 ghost-write you an epitaph when you say the woid, and On our toombstone shall be wrote: Tubman Faculty got our goat. -Shirley Wilensky, G ravedigger.
