(lass Poem Whal is a Senior? You asked us '44 in the fall. An overgrown student we see in the hall. They do many things and have so much fun. We wonder if someday we will be one. They initiate us roughly and laugh at our errors, You ask us what Seniors are, Seniors are terrors! What is a Senior? You asked a year later. A Senior is someone to whom we still cater, An experienced person who makes us seem dumb, A continual salesman to buy things from. We now laugh at Freshmen. We think they're a scream, Thoughts of being a Senior are still just a dream. What is a Senior? You asked us last year. Someone we now know and fail to fear. We have our first play and attend Baccalaureate, Pretend to hate Seniors though we really are for them, We give them a prom and march at graduation And realize that next year we'll be in their station. Who are the Seniors? You ask us this year. We are the Seniors and proud to be here. We've grown to like high school and wish we could stay, But we'll soon be Alumni, we're awaiting that day. When we ll don those black robes and march down the aisle To receive a diploma, a handshake and smile. We'll suddenly realize when it's all done Though we had many troubles, we had twice as much fun. —Dick Chamberlin COLOR FLOWER Scarlet and Silver American Beauty Rose Six MOTTO Hitch Your Wagon to a Star''
