We've tried to get some real book learning, And if you are not too disceming, .You'll discover that we've done very well, We've learned how to read and how to spell, As well as other various interesting phases, Of languages and history-Oh we've had crazes Of Orange and Black britches and silly pork pies, i Knee-length socks and gaudy bow ties. But we'll really miss the old institution, And we haven't quite reached the solution l Of how to say our last fond goodbye i To the stately portals of Ada High. We shall think of the early morning knell Of the merciless, heartless alarm clock bell, ' Which rang and rang 'till we opened our eyes, I For soon it made us realize ' That we must wend our weary way, To the home of our thougixfs, our work and our play. We pause r- we leave, no more to return- As our lockers we clean, our books we burn. i We look ahead with plans full of gladness, But Linder it. too, is a farewell sadness. Some may move from where they've resided, But oft in tlte future our minds will stray To the school where many a happy day Was spent in acquiring lots of knowledge, Some will be workers, some go to college, But fond memories will with all of us stay Long after our Graduation Day this May. We leave to the juniors as their heritage From us, who are older by far and sage, The fun, the laughter and the hard work, too, That all of us seniors had to do. ' A happy lot-my children dear, And may you have as happy a year, As ours seems in memory-Ah, but then, We'd dread going through it all again! So here's to Miss Becher, from those who annoyed her May she soon be happy with her handsome lawyer, Her senior class was a trial, I suppose, But she bore it with splendid calm and repose. ln class, one charming girl, Confucius say- That oriental Miss Aurora Alay. One who wears red-of vivid hue Catherine Atha, I knew you'd guess who. Earl Baughman is a boy with a winning smileg We're not wrong when we say he's a pal worth while. Martha Bosse is our bid for glamour, For her favors the boys 'shore' do clarnour, A red-headed gal is Pauline Branaug i An interesting life Iill bet sheis planninf i Continued on Page 22 ,,,,,,,t ....,..,,.., , ,,.., .,.L....,,.., La ,. ,..,s ...,..-..,....,a...,..-aaa., ..,.se,s.,,.,s .. page 17 ,t ,...L,,., MM ,L,.-.,,-- .,.t,, ,M .. ,M are t,.t.. ....
