NINETEEN-NINETEEN HI-LIFE — G. H. S. Class History ’19 In the first part of September, In the month of many colors, Of the year of nineteen-fifteen Gathered all our clan together; Came from Northland, came from Southland, Came from East and West uniting; Formed the class of nineteen-nineteen. The class which fought and won its battles, Justice Seeking, only justice. Broke the trail and made it clearer For the tribes which are to follow, Ascended upward, slowly upward Through the four long years of High School, Ever struggling, never faltering, ’Till they reached the goal before them. Now about this class I’ll tell you, As it was to me unfolded, By the scribe who knows of all things, All our trials and our victories Even of our mischief making. In the month of autumn splendor Of our Freshman year at High School, Looked we all with awe and wonder On the teachers grim and silent, Who with mystic signs and symbols Taught us how with life to battle. Soon we started out in earnest Both in work and recreation. First we Freshmen in a flag-rush, From the Soph’s a victory gained. Then uniting with the Sophomores Gave we next a party jolly; Dressed in masks and costumes gay, Played and danced, became acquainted; But our work was not neglected. Day by day our knowledge grew, And with help of our good teachers Soon were we no longer Freshmen. But ere we from school departed, Had a picnic by the water, Near the wild-flowers, woods, and water. Then again in Autum coming, Took we up our Sophomore duties. Page Twenty
