The Best Years of,0ur Lives In the cold, cold winter of 1951 We began high school, grammar school was done. We had trouble finding rooms and remembering our locker Got lost around the building 'and went up,' the udownf, Bowen soon became familiar, all corners and nooks, 'Twasn't long before we carried Algebra and Science books. After six months we were Freshmen, We took it out on the Freshies we had been. We got used to riding buses and paying bus fares, In Biology hunted bugs, in Geometry studied squares. Every five weeks we would pray for no Dis, And envy the students who would get all E's. In our third year we joined clubs, went to games, And studied hard to fulfill all our aims. In History, Physics, and English we did our best, And, like everybody else hated the word test . Finally we were Seniors, we had reached the topg So many things we had learned-including the Bunny Hop! Election of our officers saw President as Tomg Soon after that, came the big night- Our Prom . Tuxedos and formals were the talk of the school, If I were only a Senior, we could hear the Freshies drool. We enjoyed the summers and each holiday, It was so grand to go to school in the U.S.A. Dr. Romberg took over our school in September, Mr. Hearne was someone we shall always remember. In the remaining days of each week, Into our future we would try to peek. We could hardly believe graduation's almost here, Thinking of this made us sort of shed a tear. And so the Class of january 55 sadly said good-bye, To a wonderful four years we had had at Bowen High.
