To the Class of '35 (With Apologies to Whittier) Still sits our high school by the road. Thousands of mem’ries containing. Around it still the students stroll, IVith upper classmen reigning. Within, the shadowy ramps are seen Quiet-trod by orders official. The carpet call, the extra class All caused by a carved initial. Long years ago a Senior C lass Departed from this setting. An ambitious class, a worthy class. The highest honors getting. And in it were some husl(y lads The high school’s teams completing. Who played for the love of sport alone. Their rivals oft' defeating. As a school they saw us make our mark. Felt the influence of our governing. They oft’ confessed, as man to man. Our attainments they were envying. We're sorry that n e skipped that class— We fnon , now it's too late. In shirking learning's call for us We unjustly will blame fate. Still mem’ries to that Senior Class This Tol(a will be bringing. When in the years ahead of us To old things we are clinging. We live to team in later life How those who studied with us Arc the happiest group, the staunchest friends. That Heaven will ever give us. Coralie Breitmayer, ’35. PAGE 10
