SLImIOR class sokg Thanks for the memory e say so-long to you, To our colors white and blue. The chalk fights in the study hall, The things we shouldn't do How jolly it. was! Thanks for the memory A bumpy, crowded bus. Refreshments if we won; V.e seldom had refreshments But, posh, did we have fun How jolly it was! . Dozinr in Civics and Lnplish And slinging of spit-wr.ds is done; Oh, well, it was swell ,.hile it lasted, be did have fun and no harm done. So thanks for the memory Of erasers in the air, Paners on the floor, We may have been a headache. But we never were a bore. So thank you so much.

SENIOR CLASS POEM By the shores of Umatilla By the shining little river Stands a schoolhouse bright and sunny. There the class of Thirty-eighters Gathered to begin their learning Gathered with their books and pencils With their saucy upturned faces Shocked the people with their ignorance Called each other funny nicknames. Many things the teachers taught them Of the stars of screen and air-waves Showed them how to do the Schottish Schottish with the old time Polka. Taught them how the nations battle How the money-Kings control us How the leaders of the country Ploughed the wheat and piggies under. Taught them things they won't remember If they did they'd be peculiar At the Gym on winter evenings Sat the little thirty-eighters. Heard the whistling of the Umpire Saw the hero of the evening Make two points for Alma Mater. Oski-wa-wa . yelled the bleachers Wiski-we-we , yelled the leader. Now sophisticated seniors Learned in every field and subject Come to bear away their sheepskins V ith the blue and silver ribbons And the golden seal upon them. Bid farewell to school and scholars Sally forth to make the dollars.

SENIOR SNEAK DAY On Friday, April 22, the Senior lass skipped High School (much to the teachers delight) for a peaceful day, We started from Mr. Parker's residence at 8:00 O'clock in the morning--—Bingham Springs being our destination. Our trip to Pendleton was very peaceful—there being just a few yaps and yawns now and then. Pendleton stood us long enough to give us a chance to look around for awhile. Y hen we were on the other side of Mission on a nice steep hill guess what wc got t A flat tire t Out jumped all the boys to change it (the girls spent the time picking flowers). Yes, we had no patching cement, tire irons, or pump. The little place of Gibbon came to our rescue. We borrowed the necessary tire fixing equipment and went merrily on our way Of course the first thing we did when we reached Bingham was eat I After which we all went fishing—some hunting bugs and the others trying to persuade the little fishies to bit . After two hours of trying to persuade bugs to come out and fish to bite we gave up and went swimming. The little water-battles and innertube incidents were very amusing. We snapped many flcute pictures at the pool. Swimming was getting tiresome so we climber hills and played baseball. By this time our appatites were very good so the food was drug our again. After eating we went back to Pendleton where we enjoyed a double feature Checkers and Squadron of Honor at the Alta Theater. A very tired and sleepy Senior Class were we when WW cam© home around——that time H rX
