FAGI FORTY Senior Class Poem Look at the Seniors, all smiles and so gay! For haven't you heard they are going away? Yes, we pretend to be happy, and we all try to smile, But deep down in our hears we are dreading each mile. T'will be a long journey as many do know, And there will be sorrow where ever we gog But never-the-less we are ready to start, Though it breaks many friendships when at last we all part. Let us rest then in peace till the time will come When all cares are over and life's work is done. May we never forget our school and our class, While over the road of our life, we all pass. -LILLIAN UHLES. 8 9 8 8 Senior Class Song Dear old Pittsburg High School We're boosting for you, Dear old Pittsburg High School We're happy and true. I'1l tell you students I've found it's true, That there's no school In this wide, wide, world That thrills me like you do. In those halls so stately I'm longing to beg There I spent my childhood Right there with thee. Gee! it's great to live and learn And to you for knowledge turn There is no school finer Than my dear old P. H. S. ' -JACK PAISLEY.

as Treasurer. Thus the Junior year ended with much rejoicing. And it came to pass that in the fourth year a great thing happened. The much enduring di- vine class came to be known far and near as Seniors. With fine grace and becoming dignity clothed they themselves in the cloak of responsi- bility and doffed with b-rave and glad hearts the light veil of frivolity and amusement. And be- hold this class looked with much favor upon a certain man of great and pleasing grace, Albert W. Smith, Jr., and he was chosen to fill the much coveted office of President. And another, by name, Lawrence Compton, was chosen to stand by him, and assist him in times of stress. And there was also chosen yet another man to keep a record of all achievements, a Bill Gra- dinger. And it came to pass that a maiden, called Irene Richards, was chosen to look after the much valued monies of the class. And it came to pass that they chose as advisers the much-renowned and well-beloved Miss McPher- son and R. A. York. And lo, this class did send forth aid to P. H. S. in many battles of great moment, and they did contest in Music, Athletics, Debate and Oration. And it came to pass that the class yet a second time presented a drama. And this time it was even that one called The Passing of the Third Floor Back. And the mhiltittudes wondered among themselves saying, Can it be, that we are blessed with seeing this miracle? And again it came about that a king and queen must be, and these Senior peoples being of high heart answering said, Be of good cheer we will provide one. And even as it was spoken so was it. And behold the king was a certain man, rich of friends, one Bunker Bournonville, and the queen was even a maiden called Faye Bartley. And it came to pass that an annual was published, a divine year book, a fitting monument to mark such a scholastic career as that of this worthy class. And so it was even in that year of nineteen hundred and twenty-four was graduated this Senior Class after many hard- ships and many victories. And peace came and abode for a season. TO THE SENIOR SPONSORS, MR. R. A. YORK AND MISS LULA McPHERSON, WE, THE SENIOR CLASS OF NINTEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR, WISH TO EXPRESS OUR THANKS FOR THEIR INTEREST AND EFFORT IN GUIDING OUR CLASS THROUGH ITS SENIOR YEAR.
