class Poem Can it be faith — this vision 1 am Kt ' iUited Of the Senior Class wliose g ' rdens liavc been planted, And tilled, and cultured by the hand of care ’Til a perfect flower will blossom there? A yreat big ' circle was drawn in our room; Big enough to enclose twenty-six jdants to bloom. Each I ' adiant life with its fi ' iendship so ti ' ue. Weaves together the colors of a rainbow hue. Mirrored in the mist, pei’fection thus emei ' ges fi ' om the green, From insi)iration’s thread of gold new thoughts began to gleam (im work untried, true determination timed oiu ' clocks To be stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks. — 11.

class History In the year of our Lord 1937. a ship set sail on the sea of life. On this ship there were a large group of “green,” inexperienced pas¬ sengers. The name of tlie ship was “Achievement.” and the passengers were called “Freshmen.” A few of these “so-called Freshmen” came from the Orammar School across the street. The others came from Seven i Iile Ford, liivei’side, and a few from other places. They were scorned and looked down ui)on, and considered quite inferior to the higher gi-ades. But they would not give up, and bore the knocks and kicks with courage. As all Freshmen they were “puffed-up” and con¬ sidered themselves very im))ortant; however, as the year wore on they began to get over their first sad stage of high school life and to set¬ tle down to hard work with the aim to capture every particle of learn¬ ing that came their wav. Truly enough, they were successful and under the pi’esidency of Frances Dungan, they found themselves enter¬ ing various class activities and beginning to enjoy it all. From this class thei ' e came sevei’al basketball players Avho have since been of gi’eat value to the teams. The other grades began to help them rather than to scoi ' ii them, and before they hardly knew it. their ship had landed and they had left an impression on the sands of time. In a very short while the ship set sail again. By this time several of the passenger.s had left the shij), but those who remained found them¬ selves more mature and stronger than the year before. They now took theii ' own nart in abusing the Freshmen. They were surprised to find the great heights to which they had advanced and what they were capable of doing. Evelyn Osborne was their leader this year: although she droi)i)ed from the little band in the latter ))art of it. During this Sophomoi ' e year the groun entered in the social woidd and the world of sports with ])ep and vigor. From this class much was contributed to the “Toi’ch- ' ”’ and the “F. F. A.” (Future Farmers of America) clubs. A few joined the class from othei’ schools, and together they com])leted their Sophomore yeai ' . 20
