Four years ago in early September A day our class will always remember. We climbed the steps of Bethel High Scared to death, but willing to try. We thought we were smart as Freshman do But the Sophomores told us a thing or two. The Juniors joked and rubbed it in, But the Seniors—they just looked and grinned. The teachers were nice in their studious way, This meant to study and not to play. So we all pitched in to do our test For we were students of B. H. S. It wasn't all work as we soon found out When the Freshman's reception came about, We wished that this fun would only last, But the end of the year rolled around too fast. Then we were Sophomores more eager to learn, Preparing ourselves for our Junior term, The work got harder day by day. But socials and dances came our way. Finally Juniors, upper-classmen in trust, And we sneered the Freshman as was done to us, Our minstrel and prom were a big success, Which put our ability to the test. Our Senior year has finally come. No other days have brought such fun. Not just the work, nor not just the play, But the things that happened every day. Well iniss the noise in study hall, The losses and victories in basketball, The fire bell sound in the midst of a lesson, And petitions we signed to have one session. We'll miss the Freshman not making a scene, And the buzzer that rang at three-sixteen, Decorating the hall for the dances we gave, And trying to spend all the money we saved. We won't be sharing in any of these. But high in our hearts will be memories, Memories of work and of all our tricks. For we were the class of '46. Our school days are over in Bethel High And it's not very easy to say goodbye, Descending the steps, we've done our best, And add to the honor of B. H. S. Cecilia F. Tayi.or Page fourteen
