page twenty-eight HISTORY OF JANUARY CLASS First, a year as sophomores, Average students we. Studies and activities We termed Hmisery . Hatred for our studies, our school, False hatred, I should say, For deep down in our hearts we loved Them as we do today. Home rooms, individually, Had their own affairs. Our room had a skating party: Their home rooms had theirs. Things were altered slightly In our second year- No more Hhome room this and that : The Junior Class we hear. The Junior-Senior Banquet-fswellj The party after, too, And with these Junior Class affairs Socially we grew. Later, then as Senior I's, Nearly in our prime: Senior Picnic at St. Marys A ga--lorious time. Then, at last as Senior II's And as such, do we rate! Ambling down the homestretch On to graduate. Senior I-II party, Picnics and the rest, Junior-Senior Banquet, Our class the honor guest. The Senior II Class Picnic The movies and the play, The sermon-and then, last of all, That sad departure day. When we, at our commencement, In caps and gowns arrayed, Received that bit of parchment Which. said we made the grade. We bid adieu 'to the dear old school With regret but not quite sorrow, And doubtfully look forward to That dark, unsure tomorrow. -Arthur Spence
