1 ,, ,, Tl1eiSEQ, O As 19 Class Poem If I could sing the song that I wish to sing Of the praise and joys of the Senior Class, All the valleys and hills would ring, With the peons of praise of each lad and lass. Now the days are short, and the weeks are few, Till comes the time for us to do The saddest thing we've done for years- To bid farewell to this class so dear. But 'ere they depart, a tribute we'll give To members of this precious class, So that we'll treasure through the days we live The memories which otherwise might pass. Louise, the class president, ruled supreme, And Lloyd, 'twas the boy of her heart it seemed. Cupid also found Ray Burnett, though shy, But he was a changed boy when his girl was nigh. Martha, demure, refined, pleasant and sweet, A dear pal of Bertha's, so earnest and true, In studies and athletics they met no defeat For they had deep earnestness, owned by so few. The life of the class was little boy Dick, A jollier fellow you never could pick. And GeneH a fighting Irishman at heart, In Basketball games always did his part. Bernice and Frances, the sisters so pretty Were seen together-everywhere, And with them, Stella, so tall and fair, They all looked so happy-e'en without a care. Red Hunter 'tis true, was a bonnie lad, To the pursuit of learning he gave what he had. Lewis Galiger, a student, too, 'tis said 'Tis marvelous how his learning is kept in one head. And Esther, a three year graduate, you mind, Girls like Barty are hard to ind. Joe, who,s so earnest, ,tis said he is slow, But when he drives to a game, you should see him go. PAGE NINETEE N

They immediately mgot down to work, having the desire to end their stay at A. T. H. S. in a blaze of scholarship and glory. It was not long before talk of the Senior play was in the Wind. This talk culminated in the production of Q'It Pays to Advertisef' in which half of the class participated. Hard work and many practises made this play a huge success. All events were participated in by the Seniors, so the class was readily recog- nized as a talented class. These and other numerous events ended the t'Class of '29,' ac- tivities. At last, work was started on the Annual, and this, too, was a huge success. June arrived in ri short time, and this meant the ending of their stay at Antioch High. They had attained the highest position offered by the school, and having received their diplomas, were ready to go forth into the world and receive the knocks, which are inevitable.

Art Dalziel though of little lesser fame, Worked hard and fast, while he played the game. Berg was a courteous boy of manners fine, You could depend on him every time. Mary, an Irish girl, was petite and small, Often seen in deep thought, even in the hall. Sol was happy, clever, and fond of dates, But became very angry when his Ford made him late. Clarence, also was fond of girls, toog He chose from many, he had not a few. Irene and Frances often studied together, These two, though dear, were like the weather. Sometimes they were serious, but often they'd giggle, Sometimes quiet and demure, more often they'd wriggle. Clara was a genius at the grammar book- High grades in this she often took. Esther was so serene and tall, and for her sake We'll give a word of praise for Jake Esther and Elizabeth are very quiet and sweet, Their work is always finished, their tasks always neat. Rudy is also quiet, but a Usharkl' with his pen, A friend of all girls, a pal with all men. Last but not least, my pen must sing For Spike,,' a prince of a boy, a captain so fine. The noblest praise my heart can ring Has been sung for the class of ,29. If we 610177 have good 0fIfl1f071 of ourselves who will? PAGE TXVENTY
