ALOHA OE CLASS POEM By THEODORE R. JERGENS Farewell, Farewell to thee, Fitch High Our hearts and voices seem to say. As we sadly leave, We can but sigh, For we love thee, as well, we may. Thy great halls, thy sunlit rooms, were ours. With love, we hail thee, fair learning tower. Our wise and worthy teachers, too, Who guided us, along the way Of knowledge fine, and ideals true. Their memory is to us a sweet aftermath Of days and weeks and months together- Through sun and cloud of schoolday's weather. Rah, for our student crowd of old Fitch High! We will leave our footprints on its sands. We will work and do or die To keep Fitch's fair name and honor grand. See, with friendship fine, our ties we'll bind. Better comrades anywhere, you'll never find. With hearts as full as words are vain We pour out ardent gratitude For all this gift, our youth's great gain- Of heights and depths and matchless magnitude' Again, let praise and thanks our portion be, When e'er, where e'er we think of thee. Then when memory stalks by night or day, And years disclose our Class of Twenty-Six . With youthful faces in fine array- The proud and smiling Seniors of Twenty-Six When silver threads are entwined among the gold We still shall love thee, our dear Fitch of old. 29

ALOHA OE in New Orleans. It is the third largest of its kind in the world. The other is a Hne advertising firm in San Francisco. He has also personally improved himself in that he has cultured his voice. Who would have thought that the sleepy school boy that came to school only half awake but still singing, Oh What A Pal Was Mary , would ever become so accomplished in singing. When my turn came I told how glad I was to be with them. It is true that I had received an invitation but because of Worry had forgotten it. I was flying to Washington with a chemical formula for an improved gun powder and had it not been for the ever present hunger of Simpson I would have missed the affair entirely. I am glad to say my formula is being utilized by the navy in their big guns. Thus, after fifteen years in the world of outside life, I believe that we are all a credit to our school, people of whom she may proudly say when their names are mentioned Yes, he was from this school. And now in the years to come, may we ever keep our names spotless, the just deserts of our SCHOOL. 28
