Clueless in Class

And they thought I was pretty smart.

For their President my classmates chose me

And other officers who were charming and pretty

And I was too dumb

To ask them to come

To discuss class affairs privately.

After 10th grade the boys could get out of ROTC if they joined another before school program.  The only option I remember was chorus.  It was inside, the director was young and pretty and I learned to sing. 

In 10th grade ROTC was required

In 11th many boys joined the choir

The attraction for us?

There were girls in the chorus

And Mrs. Mastros who got us inspired.
