YEAR QQ? O 1932 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY I was sitting on a little planet far above the earth, And was very happy, my heart was full of mirth, For I was reviewing the story of the class of '32 As it climbed the trail of learning. Listen, l'll tell it nou' to you. They entered the portals of Boyden High With many a pout and many a sigh, For they were ridiculed beyond compare By those who already had been there, They paid little heed to this terrible jesting, And worked earnestly, hardly resting. james Monroe their leader they elected, And second semester jim Cuthrell selected. And they manfully followed the chosen two Until their first year they had passed through. In working for Field Day they had much fun, And won the tournaments, surprising everyone. They entered the Senior Carnival, gladly doing their share, And won the cup with King Boyden's Court , more than pleasing everyone there. So their first year ended, and they who had worked Were given crowns of honor, for they hadn't shirked. And oh, 'tis sad, but nevertheless quite true, That those who didn't work, didn't get through. Balmy weather heralded vacation, QBlest be the one responsible for this creationj And they all parted for a short time To gain new strength with which to continue their Knowledge was increased in their Sophomore year, By the faithful help of their teachers dear. james Monroe was president againg Then Rudolph Walser their leader became. They all followed their chosen guides. And success and happiness loomed on all sides. At the Senior Carnival they won the cup again, First time 'twas ever taken from the Freshmen. In all athletics they come Out with honor, Waving o'er all their colorful banner. climb. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN

TEE After another welcomed rest, The class returned with new vigor and zest, For then they -were juniors and felt quite content That their first two years were so well spent. They were very near the end of the trail, So they all worked hard, lest they should fail. Bernard Williams was president again, Then james Monroe their leader hecame. Those with scholarship and character were selected, And to the National Honor Society were elected. The Senior Reception was quite an illustrious event, And for the Seniors afforded real entertainment. Then they were Seniors very dignified, But some were a hit too satisfied, For though they were superior thereg They'll he starting anew in the coming year. And then there were poets, artists, and muscians Who won much fame, and honored positions. And several students who proved quite worthy, Were elected to the National Honor Society. They were Arahians on Carnival Night, And afforded such a picturesque sight, That the judges said they were the hest, And so won the cup over all the rest. Little Dan Cupid had an archery spree, And emerged with laurels of victory, Which were displayed at the Senior Reception in M When the juniors entertained them in a royal way. Amid the hlare of trumpet and heat of drum, They arrived at their goal-graduation. While in Boyden they made many friends, Now they must leave them, their journey ends. They have come to a point in this human strife, Where various trails lead into the wilderness of life, But sturdy and staunch they will enter there, With a will to do and a soul to dare. er They've worked and they've played for many a year, And now in their hearts there's a memory dear. With a smile and a tear, a laugh and sigh, They think of the days spent in Boyden High. MARY STIREWALT, Historian PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT
