REFLE T
Some never gCI the leading role.
Some never win the game,
Some never sec their name in
pri n t,
Or make their way to fame.
Some never see their greatest plans
Come true like they'd expected.
Some never ge l 10 Broadway
O r be president elected.
• Although it may seem you have
failed
And you think you must give in ;
Hey, you've just los 1 a battle,
The war's still yours to win.
Many men have succeeded
, W hen the fu ture looked quite
blue;
They never once gave up, and
won,
And you can do thai , too.
So if your future looks quite bleak
Just remember what I say:
Have some courage, don', give up
and you'll succeed some day.

Anna
W hen a ma n meets a lady
And he likes what he sees,
He asks 10 meel her another day
Thai is if she please.
She looks him over from head 10
foot,
And she notices his eyes are blue,
His hair is black and he's ralher
lOl li, 100.
And she lells him, " I would love 10
see you again."
Then after six years of sleady
company,
The wedding took place and a
happy one, too .
With its good and bad limes, we
paid Ihe price,
And raised three children, and they
were all nice.
After 55 years, I losl what I gained;
And may I meet her again , but I
don't wa nt to wail
for 55 more, for Anna.

The Park
I was at the park one day
And saw the children play.
They had dirt on their hands
Which mothers never plan,
But they wash them off
With neat lillie cloths.
When it's time to go home,
They grump and groan.
So mother promises them
Icc cream cones.
Then they go home
And it's time for a nap
And they all snuggle up
To mother's tap
And dream of playing
At the park another day.

The Class of '84
They started out new back in 1980;
Their class was young, wild, and
crazy.
Although they were just beginning
back then.
four years have gone by and now
it's th e end.
New friendships were made that
will last and last,
As they face the future
remembering the past.
So good luck to you graduates, I'll
say it once more:
Congratulations to my friends
In the Class of '84 .

Election Time
The campaign ta lkin' has begun,
The presi dent's act ing should be
done.
If you believe in lies, Brother. then
vole Reagan's slate,
And I'll guarantee you , Brother,
you'll have an empty plate.
If you believe in Reagan , you'd
beller be a millionaire,
'Cau se if you're not, Brother, he
really doesn't care.
We had better wise up, Brother,
and vole out this novice,
And clect a Democrat who can run
this office.
Ronnie was an actor; he wasn't
even good at that ,
But as our president he really fell
flal.
The soup lines are lo ng, the
promises unfilled,
If you vote for Reagan , Brother,
you're really unskilled.
If you' re a union Brother, you
should be very proud,
But if you vote for Reagan , I'd
whisper in a crowd.
The Republicans fight labor and
always will,
So vote Democratic and gCI a job
still.
The administration is now trying to
turn a new leaf,
Bu t please, Mr. President, wherc's
the beef?
