 Class History •’O08B I. Freshmen we were, and very green. Tall ones, short ones, fat and lean; At first we thought we were awfully smart. But we found out different soon after the start, ‘Cause the Seniors sang, as Seniors will. How Green They Are,” and our pride did kill. We elected a president for our class, “Shorty” Brunner, to help the year pass. Although trials and hardships and sorrows came Most of us got thru just the same, But summer vacation came just in time To keep some of us from being again in grade nine II September shot round [It usually does] And we came back to the noisy buzz Of pupils snoring in their sleep Lost in the slumber of the deep. We weren’t so conceited, you may be sure, In fact we felt a little obscure ’Cause other Freshmen had taken our places So the Seniors sang to their happy faces. With the aid of “Chuck” Leaverton we got through Without so very much ado. Thus we made our second year But the worst is coming, as you wil hear. Ill Next time we came back as Juniors bright And had many a terrible interclass fight. The boys all fought and rolled in the dirt; The girls looked on hoping none would be hurt. Then an idea came, very bright I’ll say. We decided to give a Junior class play. We selected “Stop Thief ” which we thought would be best And those in the cast didn’t get any rest. They practised and practised for many a day. Mrs. L.aValliere directed the play. It was a success and you can bet, 1 ots better than any ever given yet. Bob was our president. He's growing up though. He’s learned to ski -ask him if that's so. Near the end of the year everything popped. Many dropped out and many were dropped. IV Now we arc Seniors, noble and high. I don’t know as we’re worthy-- but conceited7 Oh, my! We tread on air when Freshmen we see And think of the Freshmen we used to be. Our class play was given which was a success. Miss Fla as coach made it one of the best. The theater was packed to see this fine play Such a crowd hadn’t been for many a day. Donnie as “Seventeen,” Ailene as “Jane,” The sister who seemed to give Willie a pain. Chuck” Leaverton as father, Viola as Mother Had a time living with this sister and brother. Muriel Fuite, the “baby talk lady” Who couldn’t be called “lass” or “Sadie,” Harry as Parchcr, the care-worn dad Whom every little noise made mad. Of “shieks” and “shebas” there were a few. Leila, Helen and Marian too, Melvin, Roland, Alvin and Mac, And Charles as queer old Genesis Black. We’ve gotten announcements and traded our pictures We’ve gotten our “N’s” and heard many lectures. We have Harry Heist to help us along And “Mac” to guard our money box strong. Soon we’ll be out to return no more And though some may think that school is a bore And oft have looked forward to this, When out, rhey'll miss dear G. J. H. S. v. ;
