These girls are former room mates and They did make quite a pair; One is a blond; the other possesses “Scintillating” red hair. The blond now claims our college town As her new home address; And you are right if for the red-head Laurinburg you guess. The red-head’s major is piano Under Dr. V. The blond chose Dr. Scott and fancy Prose and poetry. The red-head has a sort of drawl; Her words are slow and sweet. The blond now wears her hair in bangs; She’s always vei-y neat. Both girls are very helpful and They see their job well done. At F.M.C. together they Had many hours of fun. The red-head will teach piano soon In her home town, I hear. As for the blond, her plans, I think Are obviously quite clear: For she is married to Tommy, and A day student is she, So she’ll continue in the state Of blissful matrimony. And when they wear their caps and gowns. You’ll see them graduate; Katherine Campbell and Shirley Hudgins, Whom we celebrate. You think you are alone and suddenly you discover you iiave a telephone.
