i SENIORS Motto- To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield. Colors-Red and White Flower-Red Carnation Read, my children, and you shall see The History of the Class of Forty-three, On the Sixth of September, in Thirty-nine WE entered this School's portals sublime, With thoughts that we immortal would be. We took the English of Allain and Wall And to make things worse, that wasn't all- There was Civics and Science, Math and Latin. We studied till callouses formed where we sat in. But we came through with banners tall. No longer were we the Freshmen lowly But Sophomores, ruling this one class solely, For yet were above us our haters: The Juniors and Seniors, our ohly dictators: However, we ruled the Freshmen boldly. The subjects we took were much the same As we had before, but only in name, There was Latin and History. Biology, Math And all of the things that English Two hath, Yet we Hnished year two, then our third year came. We were Juniors then with no lament The Junior-Senior was our main event, And we put it over, as all have said 'Tis the best Decatur has ever had. This is a fact, not just a hint. We passed Culver's Plane Geometry With the Square on the Hypotenuse as our fee, There was Miss Culver's English, Badgett's History Some Non-coms. feared their grades in Chemistry, But we still had hopes that Seniors we'd be. Bald-headed row, we've now arrived For three years these classes we have survived. We've reached the goal we hoped to attain But in doing so we've crammed our poor brains, Till some of us may never be revived. Mr. Huie has tried to defeat our purpose To have failed in Trigonometry would really have hurt us. Miss Crawford's English of Chaucer and Shakespeare Is really not as hard as most of you fear. Say, are you kidding? should go here. As the travelogues in the movies say We now look back on each happy day, Though we had thoughts of College and jobs We will end up as doughboys and gobs, For our Country's at war, and the enemies must pay!
