Class Poem We entered school in forty-nineg, This dear old senior class of mine Stood on the steps of Britton High, Determined we must do or die. That feared initiation came- The Sophs were heartless in their game. The winter passed, next thing we knew, Huge stacks of dishes we must do-- The All School Banquet ts the date 5 We had no courage to debate. But all to fast one year had gone. Dur Sophomore year we launched upon. We thought of work that must be done Before diplomas could be won, But we'd have parties, fun galore, And who oould ask for any more? When we approached our junior year, All sixteen students lingered near. To climb the ladder step by step To reach the goal which we had set. And as we gave our three-act play, We hoped the folks felt very gay. Our junior Prom, it was the best Of all our parties--all the rest! And so again in fifty-two Our same old class began anew. To reach for goals which we had set, And as we struggled step by step. Our teachers were the very best. Don't you remember every test? They were prepared to point the way Which we must take tozeach that day. And now before we bid adieu, We say, dear teachers, thanks to you. 'I6
