’T'was the night before graduation, and all through the school Not a heartbeat was steady, not a forehead was cool; Diplomas were stacked in the school safe with care, While fears of not getting them whitened our hair. At Griming’s the students were sipping their cokes, At Cameron, playing and laughing at jokes; But back of it all were the mem’ries we had, Most of them happy, and some of them sad. We were nervous at starting our first high school inning, And found that our Principal was also beginning; Acting jolly and fair as a principal could, Being firm at the times when a principal should. But we weren't alone in increasing the tally; Five teachers came also to Parker and Valley: Brier, Buckley and Bradshaw, also Frampton and Pesh Arrived to help make the scholastic gears mesh. Of all of our memories, some great ones were born, Place: Auditorium . . . Time: Friday morn; The class of '02 found their way back again; Mrs. Roosevelt spoke about us and U. N.; We saw Ike sworn as President through the eyes of TV; Bartholomew came: I am honored, said he. That Columbians had honor was somebody's guess: The experiment, in study halls, proved a success; Some of us felt that two new clubs were needed: Wrestling failed, but the Platform succeeded. Our first year in sports gave us smiles and some frowns, As our athletic teams had their ups and their downs: In the pool we were champions, on the diamond we tied; On the gridiron and basketball court— we just died! For the first time at school, the Big Ten was here, But the indoor track left—and with it, the year! More Latin! More English! More math, trig and chem— Two more years, darn it! We’re not through with them. Our junior year brought us a real innovation, The driver ed car was a welcome sensation; But this wasn't all in our school that was new— We later found other additions there, too: A room in the library where students can meet; A film room containing a new type of seat; In the Kasen room comfort may really be found; In the speech center students can hear how they sound. To our school in New Jersey from Chile one day Came a man whom we all learned to like, senor Gray; Staying on this international plane, We welcomed two students, from England and Spain. Alexander’s death, Snyder's, and Stranahan’s too, Brought a deep sense of loss, as such sad tidings do. On a happier note, Junior Night was a hit! No Kidding showed industry, talent, and wit. The school-wide elections, on everyone’s mind, Had the best nominees that the voters could find; The speeches that year had excitement and fire, And the race was the closest, right down to the wire. For the second straight year, our team tied the Big Ten, And our swimmers». splashed onward to glory again; Bowling, a popular new sport, arose, And football and basketball—well, never mind those. Even more Trench and German! Still more physics and speech! Stick it out one more year and the end’s within reach! At last we were seniors! Oh glorious day! We awaited the Prom and the big Senior Pl y. We found it exciting, with days filled with fun, But we also found plenty of work to be done! So those were the memories all of us had: Most of them happy, and some of them sad. But now I have run out of rhymes and I’m stuck; So— Congratulations to all, and to all lots of luck!” Page Jen
