S. and we realize that we will miss all the friendships and opporn tunities that we have taken aGVPntege of during the time that we have been here. The memories of them will always be remembered and treasured in our hearts. SENIOR CLASS POEM Kenny, the boy who lives in town, He always hes a smile. And when it comes to courtin' gels, He has everyone beat by a mile. Mary Ann, the cheerful gel of our class, Is a happy and mischievous lass. She's always ready to lend a hand, And is the lest of the Engebretson clan. Jim Gjertson, tall and lean, Lives Just east of town, And when it comes to basketball, This boy takes the crown. James Gurholt, a real swell lad, In his gray Chev. he loves to gad. A real basketball player is he, And outdoor movies he likes to see. From Silver Lake to the old swamp road, Dave has parked all over as I've been told. He never parks on highways, but picks a secluded spot, For he knows a little privacy sure helps Cupid a lot.
