A PERFECT DAY I ’Twas May in the year of ’33 Our Class picnic was planned to be; Cakes, and pickles were doomed to go Along to Spring Bank to make their show. II The boys had a jolly game of ball, While swimming was enjoyed by all. What fun it was to see Wilma dive, And poke her head up again -alive. III A treasure hunt was a jolly sport, And of dance music we didn’t run short. The swinging bridge was always busy; Rowing in the boats made some of us dizzy. IV At last the end of a perfect day, Seemed to us not far away. Sun-burned faces, and tired feet. Tumbled to bed, our exhaust to beat. BELIEVE IT OR NOT I Listen my children, and you shall hear The history of this class' career, We're big and we're little We’re wrong and we’re right; But it doesn’t make any difference, ’Cause we’re all very bright. II The Seniors only laughed, The Juniors just roared, As we Freshmen came marching In the old school house door; But it’s just as the old saying says: He who laughs last, can laugh at the rest.” III Oh me, oh my. am I ever proud; We’re the best dancers Of the whole bloomin’ crowd; We’re there in full The Mixers to attend; And on the chairs from beginning to end.

Basket Ball Team There’s a wonderful basket ball team, Such as seldom, if ever, was seen; It has brought great fame and renown To our dear old West Salem town. There’s a fleet, crafty forward named Klos, Never failing to give us a dose Of his marvelous, accurate, shooting, Causing loud and clamorous rooting. There’s another forward named Spinner” Whom all of us class as a winner. Cause one constantly hears people say, Our Spinner again saved the day. And then there is Rudy , the center Our opponents persistant tormentor; It’s always a mighty safe bet That Duchy the tip-off will get. And, furthermore, there is Tub Mau, As a guard he is surely a wow”. All opponents mightily fear him, While the grateful fans all cheer him. And then there is dapper Jess Capper, He surely is fast on his feet, As a guard he can never be beat. And speaking of our three “subs”, They surely are no poor dubs. “Art” and Kenny are any old day Quite ready to enter the fray. And, lastly, a word for our coach, Who is above fear and reproach. He’s put Salem again on the map, So to him we take off our cap. And last, but not least, there is Fritz The manager, who is quite ritzy. He is the busiest man it would seem, Always doing his best for the team.
