Senior Olass Roll back, roll back, oh sands of time, Roll back the school years of the class of '39 Our school days, joyous, happy, full of fun. Have slowly come to an end, are forever done. II Four brief years ago, as Freshmen, we entered this school, Young, happy children, ready to learn and obey every rule. With Hawkins as our sponsor, we went thru' the year. Without a worry, a sigh, or a tear. III We entered as Sophomores in the year of '37. We could, we thought, stack our knowledge to heavens, Mrs. Bender as our sponsor we rounded the bend, And brought our sophomore year quickly to an end. IV As Juniors we thought ourselves supreme. Our first great task was try outs for the first team; Three of our boys were chosen on the team to play Chuck Mierau, Devon Michael, and Burton Stover were the lucky boys that day. V Our next event was to choose a ring A difficult task to select the right thing. A carved, gold ring on which black is displayed On which the initials of our High School are engraved. VI At last the eventful day fell, When try outs for the play were held. Mr. Gill, our director, chose the cast he thought best, And New Fires, was acclaimed a great success. VII With our prom we brought our year to an end. Now different from all other classes—we have always been, So at the Grande Vista the prom was held And with the help of The Moon of Monacorra over all cast a spell. VIII We found ourselves seniors in the fall of '38 A year full of activities with no time to waste. Again as our sponsor we had Mrs. Bender, Who for three years her services to us has rendered. IX Our first thought was our Senior play. It was given in October on the 27th and 28th day. With Mr. Gill as director and a well-chosen cast, It was acclaimed another great success. paf e nineteen
