Reviewing it. we find the class remiss In little. Would wo change them if we could? These visions of our younger selves amiss? Well pleased with them, we thus express our thoughts: “Whoboasts to know a better class than this? The wise old owl. approving, says: 'Who could ?“ This last year Mathematics, German. French, And English, Latin. Greek have busied us, And when desire tor work they could not quench, Our teachers had us write a senior theme, And Fridays, on the rostrum, we declaimed. This year from club work we have profited. And hope that each club's standard we have raised W ith new joy- now, our troubles all are fled: The contests gained, our team by vict'ry graced. The parties, concerts, plays light spirited, Make rival classes own our leadership. This retros|H ct is finished and the class, We trust, is worthy of the school. Anew We question Belfry Owl. who made such pictures pass Before us. Tell, to whom is more praise due, And who can take our place as on we pass?” Then sadly Belfry Owl replied, Who? Who?” Dear classmates, teachers kind, much good we've gained From friendships true ami they, like beacon lights. Will shine, as guides, wherever we may stray. And though to you we bid farewell with grief. We turn with hopeful smile toward coming years And there we sec the future shining bright. Gladys L. Griffith, ’09. Class ong (Tune, The Watch on the Rhine.”) 1. The mem'ry of the past four years To all of us its joy endears: While happy school days, shining bright. Will evercomfort. guide, delight. Chorus: O class of nineteen hundred nine. Thy mem'ry like a star shall shine. Thy sons in every clime beneath the sky Will ever guard the fame of Central High. 2. The joys we’ve gained from friendships true Will ever pleasure bring anew, And as we from these dear friends part. We wish them joy with all our heart. Chorus: 3. Our teachers dear, for guidance kind, Enshrined we'll ever hold in mind; And now, to all a fond farewell, While every breeze with praise we swell. Chorus. 25 G. L. G., '09.
