THE RETROSPECT Page Twenty-seven The History of ’33 in Rhythm and in Rhyme From ’29 and ’30 up to the Present Time We started off in '29 as Freshies new and raw, We came to school one early morn and looked around with awe. “So this is Hillside High,” we said, “but how are we to know, What to do and how to start and where we are to go.” We started off and guided well by members of the school, Who knew the way and what to say and each and every rule. Day after day—week after week—we wandered in and out, And many were the questions asked, because of many a doubt. Studies held our minds awhile, as studies always do, Pleasures small, and homework tall, and social meetings few. Debating was the daily talk, to us 't’was high ’n esteem, For freshman boys and freshman girls were members of the team. The freshman prom was next in line, in numbers quite a throng, With laughter gay, and fine array, the evening passed along . Now this was all for us that year, exams were on their way: Thoughtful boys and girls were we and studies held their sway. Blue and Gold, the sophomore colors, were chosen by the mass. Election bent, a pres-ident, named Meagher led the class. Jean Tichenor was the student that was second by the votes; Faber held our money safe, and Allcorn kept the notes. That year we gained quite some renown, our teams were winners all, Of fighting sorts, and genial sports, at track and basketball. Came time for us to leave that term, and once more to advance. As farewell to our second year we gave our sophomore dance. As ’31 rolled on its course and juniors we became, The S. G. A. began its way, and started on to fame. New officers were chosen by the senior class to be, Faber, Tichenor, and Allcorn became the leading three. The Junior Prom, a closed affair, happened next in line, A crowded floor and styles galore and decorations fine. Pay your dues,” became the cry of those who knew us best, “Or lag behind and lose your chance, of being with the rest.” We’re seniors now and loud we cry, “We’ve one more year to go.” Hear us cheer, for our last year, to let the whole world know. Now, troubles we have many and worries not a few, But high held heads and shoulders straight show our colors true. Seniors go to Washington most always in the spring, But here’s a tip. about the trip, and problems it did bring. Some of us had credit, from candy sales and such, But some of us were far behind and did not have so much. Parties, we’ve had several, and good ones they were too, But meetings of the senior class were entirely too few. Behind us now are many things; debates and games and more, And many happy hours gone, but many things in store. Comes time for us to go our way, to leave these halls of cheer, Graduation—separation from those we hold so dear. With saddened hearts and softened eyes we turn our heads away. And vow no matter where we roam to return again some day. The Editor-in-Chief.
