A Message from your Class Secretaries

Dear Classmates,
This is a singing telegram, with you doing the singing!....to the tune of "So Long Farewell" from "The Sound od Music."  Take a deep breath. Go back into your child hood. Bring up this tune in your imagination, while you picture Marty and me on the stair steps singing to you (ouch!).....

"So Long Farewell"

So long, farewell, it's time to say goodby,
We've been your Secs, and proud to be on Board.
Doot doodle do do, do do do. Doot doodle do do do.
We've done our best, to bring you news of '60.
We give, you thanks, for all your years of stories.
Doot doodle do do, do do do. Doot doodle do do do.
We now, look for'ard, to news from someone else,
And pass, the pen, to one of you so kind.
Doot doodle do do, do do do. Doot doodle do do do.
So long.......Farewell.....Good bye."

Can't wait to be with in May! Keep on dancin'!
Delrena and Marty
