■ THE IONIAN I 9 3 Class Song (To the tune of : Illinois Loyalty) In the years we have been here with you We have always proved faithful and true. Now it comes time to part with a space in the heart For the memories of good times with you. We have learned much while here in this school And these lessons will prove a good tool To go out as we have yearned with knowledge that we have learned And keep our loyalty to you. Four years we have labored with you F2ach one of us staunch tried and true And throughout the land where’er we may stand We will always be boosting for you. Some of us may march on to fame And make for ourselves a great name But we always will honor you And ring out your praises true, We’re loyal to you white and blue.

THE IONIAN 9 3 3 Class Poem I. The closing days of high school years Are filled with joy and some with tears; Joy at starting. Tears at parting; Parting and starting new spheres. II. Twelve hard grades we’ve struggled through With friendships many and discords few. Working together: Building forever Characters strong and purposes true. III. Our high school days at I. H. S. Gave us knowledge that time will test; Ours to improve; (irow and remove Ignorance, doubt, and carelessness. IV. Success, we hope, may come our way Achievement, fame, prestige some day; Winning or failing. Grave trials assailing. All a part in the game we’ll play. V. Classmates all. in future times. Our thoughts will stray from many a clime Back to school, Back to rule, Rack to deeds that made this rhyme. VI. Let us remember, then, old friends. Teachers, students, and all who send Us forth today Equipped to play Our noblest and squarest to the end. Charlton Whitten Page Twenty-one
