Class Poem Come, classmates, let’s go again to school Where we first learned the golden rule. To dear old White Plains let’s go Because it is the very best school we know. High upon a plain she stands In this free and noble land. Her beaming face turned toward the sky And on her dear form you can always rely. Since the eleven teachers are hard to des- cribe I will put them all here side by side. There are some big. little, old. and small So some day come by and have a peep at them all. In the Senior Class we don’t have many I guess there’s no more than twenty. But just between every one of us There are sure enough to make a fuss. On some things the class just don’t agree But you shouldn’t expect them to, you see. They all don't have Effie Hollingsworth’s brains. Which on them sometimes brings many pains. Vre suppose La Verne's most beautiful curls Matches her graceful little whirls She makes, while playing with Nellie, Who is another graceful young lady. When you look. peep, walk, or ride You will see Cleo with Evie Brown by her side. They are happy, peaceful, and gay Like two little birds on a Summer day. Here comes Ophelia with a book. Why this? We must all take a look! Of course we don’t believe she will study. Oh. No! She is only on the look for Helen, her buddy. When.ver you look, you’ll always see Waiting in the library, there’ll be One little girl, Evie Lusk. You know? Yes, Jack will be there in a minute or so. There is one girl who has lots of pride. This one is Miss Canola Whiteside; Who is a very good sport. We are all sure She leads a life that is sweet and pure. Now there is Miss Opal’s dignified stare. Which make her and Edna a noticable pair. As slowly down the hall they go. We know. Edna is looking for a beau. I know we all envy Rubye’s beautiful eyes; When you look at them they are as blue as the sky. Now since Vera is new in our class, We don’t know. Better look into the glass. If Eugene could at all play a fiddle Like bashful Fletcher can whistle, Our cass would have such good musicians I’m afraid we’d have to call a physician ( ?) Jack is our assistant basketball referee— Watch out. Mr. Arnold Cobb, just wait and see. Oh. here comes our own Curtis King. It is he, I know, because he can sing. Is Curtis Hall such a dignified type? Will Hoyt Wblls. we wonder, ever English like? These questions we cannot answer yet. But we will some day—you can bet. Now since Loyce is so very strong and tall I will put him almost last of all; Except for another, this is Arvel Brown. You can see him if you’ll only look around. Now. Classmates, we’ll have to say good- bye. As in our many fortunes we must try To do the things instilled in us here. That we hold to be so dear. So farewell now, dear Alma Mater. The time has come when we must part. May we stand for right as we’ve always stood. So that our lives may be pure and good. Helen Wells. Page 25

Class Song TUNE: “FAREWELL TO THEE” Now we’re leaving dear old White Plains High, Even though we’ll never really part. But our high school days are drawing nigh, And we know that it’s time to say good-by. Chorus: Farewell, White Plains! Farewell White Plains! Our high school days are coming to an end; But we will hope for college days to come, When we shall meet with friends, As we leave we never shall forget, The work that seemed to us a pest; Nor the sorrow we have always met, When our teacher came in with a test. May we meet our friends sometime to see, In the Spring time or in the Fall; And we know how happy they will be, To meet at the dear old White Plains Hall. Now we leave thee, our dear Alma Mater, Forever we pledge our loyal-ty; We’ll return to thee some glad tomorrow, And tell thee of many victories! Page 24
