SENIOR CLASS HISTGRY Listen dear Seniors and you will hear Of the feats and failures of the past four years So here now is a quick review Of what you did and what you'll do. ln Junior High we knew we'd make a hit When at last in Gadsden High we'd sit, Our Freshman year revealed to us Our Stunts and talents weren't quite good enough. Then to our Sophomore year we flew With Algebra problems we couldn't do, But in our eyes was still that gleam For Stunt and Talent Show, we started to scheme. To win first prize and show the rest That we Sophies could still be best. Too bad our theme, South of the Border By the iudges was ruled out of order. So we came to those happy Junior days With chemistry and high schools plays But here's what really made us sing We finally received our high school ring. Our Junior float would have taken first prize But alas the judges failed to arrive. Stunt Night was eliminated, but we survived Still somehow our talent couldn't be revived. And so again, we did not place - Once more we kept our smiling face. And now the day arrived at last We found ourselves in the Senior Class. But even then we were not through For there was still plenty of work to do. We sweat and strain in English Xll Or else in Physics lab we delve. One proud accomplishment we did attain We passed our goal in the Magazine Campaign. This year our talent was iudged second best But our Homecoming float beat all the rest. We were glad to have Jennie as Homecoming Queen. She really and truly did look like a dream. Patiently we work and wait For June 4, when we graduate. And now that we are full of knowledge What do we do - We'll go to college. The thought has lust occured to me, What a catastrophe it would be lf when the Class of '57 At long last reaches the Gates of Heaven St. Peter will say of our hard fought race You can't come in cause you never did place. -Mary Ann Simon 22
