Considered to be just what they're not. Not dignified. nor serene and good, But happy young people enjoying life as they should. Senior's digestive system works always true to form, Years of eating education has done ours little harm. liveryday our meals were served in one enormous plate, :Xnd we've swallowed subjects at an unbelievable rate. We're' not sad because we're leaving school, lNe've.been twelve long years obeying the rule. While we've worked and played together each year, Bowling Green High has become very dear. We've been right with the Bobcats in all their fame. Learned to take victory or defeat just as it came. We've been walking cameras more years than a few, And we snap little pictures of all that we do. Tn several years we'll want to know, just what we've stored in our mind's picture show. And as the pictures flash back one by one. We'll re-live the pleasures of things we have done. There will be comedies, news reels, and a main feature, Which has for its star. a well remembered teacher. All these memories we have seem futile, it's true, But often they mean more than wealth to you. Senior classes number a thousand or two, But the Class of '37, B. G., is rooting for you. MELBA LANGFORD
