SENIOR CLASS POEM When in the years to come, Our tasks seem hard and dreary, The way seems rough and long. The path of life so weary; Remember that full many a day, After a recitation. Together side by side we've sat In thought and conversation. O’er and o'er our books we've read, Our problems missed or solved, Our faults confesed. and tried Not in trouble to be involved. At these thoughts, we’ll cease repining. Put aside our troubles then. And we’ll feel so cheered and happy, Feel so young and free again. The present all too fleeting is. The thought so oft will come, A few more days a few more words And high school life is done. Blest and happy, care-free «lavs. You leave us not tonight. You'll always come to cheer us While we’re struggling in the fight. Oft remembered teachers, dear, You’ve helped us every day. You’ve smoothed the path and cheered us In kind and thoughtful way. Forgive, if we have often been Thoughtless and you dismayed. We’re only boys and girls you know, And have many rules obeyed. Kind schoolmates, one and all. Our place you soon will fill. But may the thought of Class '08 Be in your memories still. Here’s to our dear old High School. May we forget her never, And may her colors, Blnn and White. Bring honors to her ever. —Lura Cook. 13
