Our play, “Smile, Rodney, Smile,” Won many a compliment. Our prom, a great success, Is, in history, our greatest event. Now, since we own our lovely room, We’ve dropped our sad demeanors, To become a perfect class, The nineteen twenty-nine Seniors. We realize now—it seems too late— That school has just been fun. We’ve given life no serious thought; We feel it’s just begun. With many a heavy heart, V. H. S., we bid you adieu. In life we’ll do our part And be a credit to you. T. S., S. T.

Class Day We sit here on this platform, WTe Seniors of Vernonia High, It’s Class Day, and to us it seems A gala day is nigh. Some one is speaking, but to me His voice is faint and far; My mind is surged with memories Which time can never mar. My thoughts race back to years ago, When sixty Freshmen strong, We Seniors entered high school To conquer lessons long. We struggled over French and Caesar, Thru geometry we’ve soared, We daily skipped thru typing, Over bookkeeping we’ve poured. The quizzes used to shock us, And grades meant everything; We often felt that all was lost When F’s our cards would bring. We were just as bad as we could be When Sophomores we were bold, And spanked the Frosh with savage glee. For which the Prof, would scold. And then when Juniors we became, We thought we owned the school, The Seniors called us teacher’s pets, And preached the Golden Rule. We crammed, we bluffed, we shirked. We played, and lessons slid, We made the excuse a million times, “Because the others did.” We filled the bleachers at every game, We cheered on Vernonia High. We acknowledged our team in low defeat, But more times in victory high. 15
