CLASS POEM In the background of my vision We studied hard to gain the goal There’s a memory still alive Through which we all must pass, How we were little Freshies To lead us on to life’s highway, In twenty-four an’ five. To bring success at last. We seemed to think that we were brighter Each one must master his own arts Than Freshmen could possibly be To aid him on in life, And that we were more advanced in school To make the paths that each must tread— We thought everyone could see. To bring success or strife. But still we mounted higher— Some are sorry to say “good-bye”, Sophomores! Oh, boy! While others are happy to go, And then as Jolly Juniors— For each one knows his own desires We all were wild with joy. And each has his own “row to hoe.” But we as Seniors realized So farewell, dear old O. H. S., The other years were spent in fun, We leave you with a parting cry; And then we surmised Farewell, dear old school house, That our playful days were done. Farewell, dear old Oakland High. —M. G. SHIRER. dl
