CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS I've gone to high school four long years And over marks shed bitter tears, I've crawled out of bed in the early morn And wondered how it could be dawn. 1've jogged about on rattling busses, And had my share of silly fusses. I've worked and studied very hard, Trying to get a passing card. I've gone to parties, joined in the fun, No happier person under the sun. Of course the social life was gay, Or maybe I was born that way. I've made good friends as the years have flown, And much true happiness I've known. I guess folks are right when they recall School days as the very best of all! Snmuir REID '47 THE SENIOR BARN DANCE The girls came in trousers rolled up to their knees, 'The boys in one corner stood buzzing like bees. The music began in those fast, jivy paces, ...... All felt at ease and joy shone on their faces. The faculty hurried in all out of breathg The clothes they had on would scare you to death. Mr. Burns was a sight in blouse and short pants, And the fun all began when he started to dance. The men in patched shirts and old worn-out shoes, Looked happily around a partner to choose. None danced in their shoes, we had a new rule, Only dancing in stockings allowed in the school. The ladies wore stockings as black as could be, And lo and behold! where those knees we could see? They wore strawfhats and kerchiefs, and bows in their hair, And all the odd things that we'd not dare wear. lntermission with cider and donuts to eat, Then back to gay dancing in our stocking feet. You'd have laughed 'til you cried, had you seen this sight At the Barn Dance the Seniors held that night. Mildred McMaster '47
