EIQQQQ WW QQQQQQQQEQQQ QQ QfCQ'f5E33Q5?i THE NUGGET CLASS HISTORY S THE FRESHMAN Class of '54, We entered through Bragtowns open door, We were proud to be in high school, then, Forgetting that We were truly quite green Then came along our Sophomore year, The second great step in our high school career, When more serious things claimed attention from all Such as Glee Club, dramatics, and basketball. And, 'ere we knew it, We were juniors, who Were one step nearer the goal in view. Commercial Club, Beta Club, carnival, yes, And banquet and dance gave us small time to rest. Then, at last we were Seniors, the day had come! The goal we sought would soon be won. Yet, we found there were so many things to do, Rings, plays, and annual-and studies, too! But, ah! It was Worth it, and gladly we state: Heres to the Class of '38! PAGE TWELVE
