SENIOR CLASS POEM Hand and mind can scarce express The thoughts of a Senior class, When in the last year of their high school career, Through high school doors for the last time they pass. Many's the pleasures within old Hicksville High Priceless and uncounted the lessons we've learned Many's the teacher's welcome face we encounter As backward our memories are turned'- Turned back to the time we were Freshmen When we Walked in through the assembly door Mid the jibes of derision and laughter Of school-mates who had traveled the road before. Turned back to the year we were Sophomores What a thrill of unbounded pleasure we feel As memories of the Carnival and parties Recall the results of our Sophomore zeal. Turned back to the year we were Juniors To the time of our flag raising scrap VVhere the Junior-Senior Reception and Spoondrift, Dot the page of our third year map. And now with the Hixonian we Finish the history Our high school race at last is run, Yet we leave behind with a sigh of regret A task we may regard, well done. -D. H. '24, L ,H, . l29
