PARTINGS So many joys we’ve shared together In all our work and play, But now our joys are torn asunder And we must part today. So many glad hours did confront us In these great halls of fame. Old Axton High is very dear to us ; We won’t forget her name. Here once we began our life’s battle But now has come the day That we must take the parting by-roads That lead many a way. With sad good-byes, but fondest mem’ries. We bid each one adieu; We pray that God will ever keep us Among the great and true. DOROTHY DILLON Poet, Class ’46 PAULINE WYATT H.E. Club ’43-’44. Sec. ’44 ; S.C.A. ’43-’46 : Vic- tory Corps ’43-’45 ; Softball ’43-‘44 ; Class B Vice- Pres. ’44; Basketball ’45-’46 ; V.H.L. Debate ’46; D.A.R. Good Citizen ’46. One quieter than Pauline we ne ' er have met She is a grand sweet lass we’ll not forget. She keeps down her temper and does not com- plain. And seems like the sunshine in midst of rain. Baseball ’43-’46; Victory Corps ’43-’44 ; S.C.A. ’43-’46 ; Softball ' 43 ; F.F.A. ’43-’46, Reporter ’43, Vice-Pres. 46. Gerald is quiet, always so courteous, too, He’s ever ready a service to do. You seldom ever hear him gripe and fret. While others grumble whene’er they are met. GERALD WILSON Page Eleven
