f THE CUCKOO J ♦4tt 4f- THOMAS MARTIN POLLOCK Tom Hi-Y; Operetta, 5, 4; Cheer Leader, 3, 4; Junior Class Minstrel. Tom” sings Girl Of My Dreams very movingly. We asked him the secret. “Tom” replied, All you need is an inspiration. TO THE MEMORY OF HORACE BEALE Tonight we sing of a great event, W hen for some the school days close. Many of us into life are sent While some have been sent to repose. No lyric is written to ease the heart. No words can take weight from the soul. But time from our memories can not depart, Though he’s gone to the goal of goals. Though gone in body, his spirit lives, His part of our class was sublime, And he will guard the light we give. To the world w'ith our Twenty-nine. Charles Ax. Pnje Twenty-one
