CUSS POEM We entered Edison High School, in the year of 51 , With a very determined spirit, a class of three score and eleven, The first year we were quite raw and also exceptionally green. They hazed us up and down the school; we weren ' t to be heard or seen. Our class was very well equipped with might and brawn and brain And we were quite determined to increase the hall of Edison fame . Our sophomore year some members of our class dropped out of sight-- They had all the knowledge their brains would hold, and couldn ' t keep up the fight. The rest of us just plowed right on, determined that at last A signed diploma we ' d receive, when our four years had passed. In our junior year we gave many parties, plays, and dances; And this was tho beginning of many puppy- love romances. The year was drawing to a close and things began to pop — The big event for all the year, the final junior hop. The Prom we thought a groat success, wo held it the fourth Of May; Beautiful Hawaii was the setting, Hawaiian music gay. Vve lost a few more members, this our junior year. And more were yet to go before our last school day was here. Our senior year arriving, with relief our mombers sighed. We strutted up and down the halls for we wore dignified. Our senior year was quite eventful, accomplishments were great; But the time was drawing closer when at last wo ' d meet our fate A Prom again-- this time was given In honor of our class; It was attended by one and all, each with his lad or lass. Graduation day at last is here and the time has come to go. Best wishes to you, other classes, may you thrive and grow [ We say goodbye! We must admit it ' s been a lot of fun, And there ' ll never bo another class like the class of 41. — By Richard Dunn Anderson and John Samuel Husted
