HISTORY OF CLASS ’23 What is that which waves un high, Looking out o’er the blue sky? It is our banner, class of ’23. Its colors are unsoiled, pure and free. At Kau Claire High School where we dwell, Maroon and White is known full well. It brings back the memory of years ago, When we were considered green and low. What pictures, oh, classmates, come to your mind When you retire from your daily grind. Of initiations, parties and sprees galore, When we entered, as Freshmen, the High School door Almost four years we abided here. The end we do not see; yet it is near. Picking up knowledge here and there, A thing to us so precious, yet so rare; Altho’ the path was rugged and long. Strewn with thorns and deprived of song. We trudged it bravely with ambitions high. And achievements encouraged for another try. We are now about to leave this school To conquer the world and try to rule. To show what we have learned here, Under the supervision of our teachers, dear. Mr. Balfour, we chose for our class chaperon, He supplied us with work including fun. Sure enough, here is Emma, busy as a bee, She will undoubtedly get the Master’s Degree. No better name could be given to Delight. Who is so full of pep and prepared to fight. Oh! you know Hilda, she’s so graceful and tall. She’ll show you how to handle a basket ball. As you read about the “Halls of Political Fame,” There you will certainly see Clark’s name. If the books of science, perhaps you scan. You’ll find Moody, our “Electrician Man.” Florence is so very modest and shy, Gladys is always good for another try. They will endeavor to show what they can do, To uphold the standards of colors so true. So wave on banner forever and aye, That we may all stand up and say, “We stand beneath thy folds, brave and right, Loyal defenders of Maroon and White.” F. R.. ’23 Pace Fifteen
