NF TTIE DIXIE CLA SS POEM We the class of '28 are very proud to sav, That we will have just 24, to graduate this May, Some of you d0n't know them all, these girls and gentlemen, I'll introduce them to you now, the very best I can. There's Rudy-he's so tall, and Willard's kinda plump, But we agree, in anything, they're not the kind to slump, The girls all flock around him, that's Orville our class shiek, And Robert Ohl is a radio fan, that simply can't be beat. Next comes Pearl with a sunny smile, and Zelma with hair of brown, Should you chance to meet these girls, a smile would greet you, not a frown Blanche and Evalyn, our class twins, do without them we could not, For when they play their violins, we're never ready for them to stop. Well Georgia's kept her long, brown curls, and Elsie's a friend true blue, 'Ihey're just the very type of girls, that will appeal to you, Mary Miller's our class beauty, who dresses so trim and neat, And Mary Mellott is a pal to her, with a smile just as sweet. Now Ralph is a football star, and Morris is very near it, And when a score is to be made, these boys are there to do it, There's Laura whose eyes are deepest brown, and Kathryn's eyes are blue, These Pals are fine in basket ball, I agree--do you? Eleanore's a studious person, with hair of raven hue, And Hazel is so peppy, and full of talk clear through, Skinnny's our basket ball manager, and Earl's a pretty good scout, In work or play, whate're it is, these boys will help us out. Bob Delo's a comical guy, while quiet Orlo is, Once they start to do a thing, they get right down to bizz, There's Mary Ellene, our blue eyed blonde, who fills us all with cheer, And Howard the President of the class, his duty he does not fear. All thru the long days we have toiled, Many books and desks we have soiled, In our long march to gain an education How we have struggled for those high marks of elation. Our books that deal with forgotten lore, These we have studied o'er and o'er. We have studied till nothing seems new. But we must be ready to fight life's battle thru, For now our schooldays are over, life is but commencing, With stern Fate and good Fortune around us defencing With our enthusiasm we may see the facts, Where one is gifted another lacks. And as the high school life we leave, Some feel as a prisoner with reprieve, While others are ready to enter life, Willing to stand under grinding strife. So let's' be cheerful with all we meet For life is something we can't repeat. -Mary Ellen Gallant -Ralph Switzer 1928
