TANTILLO LLOYD TATE RUSSELL WEBER N. MARTIN WOODFORD ERONI MEMORIES Class Poem We are leaving a place very dear to our hearts Though We never admit it until We depart. Six years have been spent in toil and play, We've loved every minute, day after day. lt's been rather bumpy at times, we'll admit, But what would be life Without a few hits? We'll miss all our friends and the faculty, too, Even though they could make a fella feel blue. It Was all for the best, We had to be taught, When We would gyp and then Would get caughtg We'd Worry and worry and then in the end lt'd all come out right and We'd be happy again. Oh, such Was life We all hold so dear, When trouble would come and then disappear. These times We will miss, but memories will stay, Because the years spent here were ever so gay, In the halls,.the office, the rooms and the pool, Of our dear old Abraham Lincoln High School. By Doris Short, Ian. '39.
