CLASS POEM s Sounds a song on the air, Happy, joyous, free; Ring of triumph that is there Tells to you and me, Of many a trial successfully passed, Of hearts that still beat strong: As hopes are realized at last— And realizing turned to song. Above the clouds of grim despair, There where the sun peeps out, Far up the mountain height, Resting a moment there To glory in their youthful might And to drink of the upper air. ' Known is the trail to them— Ambition and Fame Call without fail to them, “Here’s honor and Name!’’ Higher for every fall, This is the way for them. Duty has joined the call—-Work is but play for them. Dear is the school to them, Dear all it teaches. Higher it points for them Toward life’s blue reaches. When school her portals, all, Swing shut behind them, Ambition and fame that call, Successful shall find them. And this is whom? This is the Junior Class— Seniors make room! Life means to them an aim— An effort to pass, Seeking the heights of fame; This is the Junior Class. —Roy M. Avery ’15.

JUNIOR CREED •t « We believe that the Junior Class of 1914 is the most brilliant, original, and popular class that C. H. S. will ever produce. We firmly believe that our poem is worthy of having come from the pen of Shakespeare. We earnestly believe that our motto is inspiring enough to carry us joyfully on our way to Seniorhood. We believe our colors, red and white the most gorgeous combination Nature ever saw fit to create. We believe our yell, the shrillest, loudest, and most genuinely enthusiastic of any ever heard on any foot-ball field. Again, we believe in the Junior Class; that its fame as the most glorious class of the 20th century will be handed down to posterity through generation after generation for ever and ever. S IMAGINE r. m m Stewart Norton smoking a cig. Hazel Radabaugh dancing a jig, Edna Harlocker loving a cat, Geneva Robinson with hair combed flat. S' IMAGINE m m m Roy Avery with freckles galore, Raymond Burns without his pompadour, Janie Lowe being short and fat, Winnie Curry without her rat.
