SENIOR CLASS POEM ’44 We may let our minds go wandering back To the day we used the key To open the door into high school land, Which we entered with the highest glee. We chose the fields in which we’d work Only to hear this demand: In English you ' ll work f or four long years If a diploma you ' d hold in your hand. In English we learned I ain ' t ain ' t right. And we learned to punctuate: We memorized lines from Shakespeare’s plays And wondered what might be our fate. We have filled our minds with dates of wars And with facts about famous men: We’ve learned all about the laws of our land As we’ll never learn them again. Some in the lab tried experiments, When chemistry we would choose, We made sweet-smelling fumes fill the air And fancy holes in our shoes. Others succeeded in climbing the scales, Singing, in tones high and low, Songs of religion and songs of love — Some fast and some of them slow. We figured out strange problems in Math. Which we knew we would not use soon: But it’s nice to know how long it would take For the cow to jump over the moon. Hoping to get a snack between meals The home ec. tried a cookie to bake But after the taste and the bowl got their toll There was none to the oven to take. Our students in Spanish say a te quiero, Those take French, J aime vous ; But the rest of us like our English so well That we say I love you. And now that these days are past and gone We may look back with great pride On this our school. Dear K. H. S., In our hearts you’ll ever abide. ROSALII4D BODIE. Page Six
