The 1944 l?rz'1'm'dit'1' CLASS POEM l'ondering, lingering, in the present, Sluinbering sweetly in the past, Our usual joyful hearts are laden Wlhen as Seniors we part at last. Uncertain. we hesitate on the stage Of the fading years as Future calls: Wle linger yet, unwilling to leave As the past's veiled curtain falls. 'Twas long days ago, yet seems so few, joined we, together, on a bright and early inorn, The handclasp of undying, beloved friendship, W'hen high school life for us was born. Friends we niet and pals we loved W'hen entered we as Freshmen, proud yet shy: Swiftly passed the days of joy and sorrow shared, ,Til the dawn of Sophomore life was nigh. Life for us llecaine a shifting puzzle, Now Sophoniores, another happy year began, But a change came from heaven's blue As war clouds shadowed all the land. Changes canie fast as the years sped, As from Sophoniores to Juniors we grew. Shared joy, trial, failure, woef Then Seniors we were lmefore we knew. Four years of life have sped And taken wings in hasty Hightg lVe've lived, loved, fought, and won Together, in edueation's tight. As I reflect and hesitate Fiercely l aslf, why ponder more? Stand and salute our lmeloved school. ln reverence, we do-we, the class of '44. Jo CURTU, C'Ins.v Poet
