Memories are precious things Hut very, very fleeting. Events of now pass by on wings As more events we’re meeting. The boys and girls of yesterday Are parents of tomorrow; They pass from care-free life and play On into joy and sorrow. This book with cover bold and new. And crackling, unread pages Will soon give reminiscent view To men of future ages. Elusive memories some day Will banish care and pain And put your feet upon the way Of childhood days again. You’ll smile again as you relate To Tommy, Jane, or Frank Some anecdote considered great By dad, who did the prank. So take this book of memories Amidst earth’s toil and grime Let it be a refreshing breeze From off the sea of time. —Gertrude Johnson 12 t - MEMORIES

SFNIOK “Senior Swan-song” Out of the school that sheltered me. Busy as a bee from morn ’til night. I thank whatever luck may be That gave me my diploma white. In the fell clutch of the daily quiz I have not winced nor cried aloud. Though through my brain facts whirl and whiz My mind is foggy, but unbowed. Beyond this parting, midst joy and tears. Loom college walls of red brick hue. Yet friends through all the coming years. Shall find me. Corry Hi. devoted to you. It matters not how famed our ways. Nor dimmed by age our tired eyes; We’ll remember tenderly our high school days, And laud their praises to the skies. —Gertrude Johnson The first class to be graduated from Corry High School was the class of 1901. The building at that time was not fully completed and benches to seat the guests at commencement exercises had to be brought into the auditorium from the old Hatch building. The present sloping floor of the auditorium had not been laid and the benches were placed in level rows throughout the room.
