1968 PARK SONG

To the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire:"

 

Barry Rockler, Cheryl Clein, Steve Alpert, Marshall Fine,
Bob McGinty, Margie Bernstein, B.Z. Isenberg.

John McEachran and Lee Thompson, Bob McCollum, Terry Johnson,
Nancy Gordon, Sally Gordon, pretty Laurie Berg.

(Slight musical pause)

Rick Kelber, Tim Bell, Lin Lee Lim, Carol Cell,
Mark Broms and Sally Watz:  Is her new name really "Braatz"?

Carol Wexler, Al Block, football kicker Rich Bach,
Gail Thunstrom, Larry Shink, Derf Nosnews was a fink!
(Refrain)
The Class of Sixty-Eight!
Park High gals were so wise
and a sight for sore eyes.

The Class of Sixty-Eight!
The guys knew after prom
they'd go to Viet Nam!
(End of refrain)

Ellen Joseph, Lincoln Del, Cris Gears and Carol Lindell,
Becky Comstock, Jerry Lehrman, Melissa Hield

Jeff Shope, Bob Skartvedt, Janet Snowden causing sweat,
Friday evenings at the football field.

Dick Stein, Sid wood, Edina-bad, Park High good!
Dick Golden, Nancy Brown, George Olson was a clown!

Park Drug, say "Bye-bye"; Sadie Hawkins, ask a guy.
Our hopes sank ... with class rank; S.A.T.s were do or die.

(Refrain)
The Class of Sixty-Eight!
Park High gals were so wise
and a sight for sore eyes.

The Class of Sixty-Eight!
The guys knew after prom
they'd go to Viet Nam!
(End of refrain)

Steve Weisman, Mr. Fun; Mary Custer, looks that stun.
Too soon?  We don't know;every day, miss them so!

Jill Mattocks, seventeen,, she was queen of lima bean.
We` had great cheerleaders; not too fond of cake-eaters!

(Musical gap)

Labett Goodman, Mike Schwartz, Mark Beatt - king of courts.
Jane Burnett, Surf belles, wet and wild gazelles.

Barb Liszt, Bill Stesin, sports facts-see Larry Sutin.
Janice Smith, oh boy!  Smartest of all the goy.

(Refrain)
The Class of Sixty-Eight!
Park High gals were so wise
and a sight for sore eyes.

The Class of Sixty-Eight!
The guys knew after prom
they'd go to Viet Nam!
(End of refrain)

Steve Marcus, home run!  Who could stand Queen Isacson?
Bill French, Mr. Q's, top twelve with 'leven Jews!

Then there's big Al Wicklander, writer Stu Alexander,
Dave Schrupp, home room, pop quiz spells; certain doom.

Leg kicks, pirouettes, none as good as our Parkettes!
Barb McGlynn, Kathy Rush, turn their heads to make boys blush.

(Refrain)
The Class of Sixty-Eight!
Park High gals were so wise
and a sight for sore eyes.

The Class of Sixty-Eight!
The guys knew after prom
they'd go to Viet Nam!
(End of refrain)

Al Tucker, Barbara Close, shyest guy was Ernie Rose.
Phil Hirsch, Dave Hill, Bonnie York, Bob Gill.

Bertil Johnson, man in charge; Greg Kleven, extra large!
Think of St. Louis Park; Senior Skip Day was a lark!

Chickie Lasky, Rodger Barr, Nicki Declercq - acting star!
Linda Jones, Bobbi Kohen, mean guy Andy Droen.

Gail Gullgren, Rhesa Schwartz, Pete Watson, all good sports!
let me make this sage decree:  WELCOME ALL TO AGE SIXTY!!
(Refrain)
The Class of Sixty-Eight!
Park High gals were so wise
and a sight for sore eyes.

The Class of Sixty-Eight!
And when we are gone,
we'll still live on and on and on ...
(End of song)
