CLASS POEM OUR FIVE YEARS AT CENTRAL When we were in the eighth grade, We had an inspiring time: New friends, new rooms, new teachers, Everyone seemed so kind. Then we were in the ninth grade, We tried to be so very t0ugh3 The way we acted around the school, Was certainly bad enough. Next we were in the tenth grade, We'd reached the middle of our part: And our grades began to fall, Because our dates began to start. Now to the eleventh grade, We thought we were dignified, If we had looked at oU'Fse1ves, We were merely giglefied. And here we are the Seniors, Whom you hear so much aboutg When someone mentions graduation, We all give a lusty shout! Now we wish to say good-bye, To the ones we leave behind, Teachers, school mates, Mr. Hurt, You've given us a fine time! ! Shirley Stout 2 Z
