I R S Kenneth Detrick Sure, I’m a jockey to a plow, And I can work all day. Yes, I’m proud that I can take it, For it’s more than most can say. Bette Price It seems that she’s always smiling, And it seems she’s always glad, Tho’ her heart belongs to “Johnny”, And the rest belongs to Dad. Jack Richhart Who is this mortal, Jackson J., Who, when the teacher steps away, Catches the unsuspecting blokes, And tortures them with corny jokes? Tom Booth He is “Booth”, the boon to Bucktown, And his “windbag’s” always full; You would mistake him for a pitcher, From the way he “throws the bull”. June Wehneman She’s not a magician, No, nor a faker, not that, Still, she gets ideas, Like a rabbit from a hat. Wilbur Thomas Yes, this is Wilbur Thomas, They always call him slim. He said he once took English, But now it’s taking him. Adine Wilson. Genevieve and Luella Simons We’re together in the classrooms, We’re together in the hall— So, if you want a date with one of us, You’ll have to date us all. Charles Graves You’ll never find him hurrying, Except for the noontime meal— Then in a rush from the building, It is “Porky” at the wheel.
