Class Poem For four long year we’ve worked for the goal Mow we’ve reached it with happiness untold ; nappy and gay as you can see For we’ve reached the end of our destiny. We will ever remember the blue and white Our school colors where we were taught right And our blue and gold we’ll never forget, For many years the memory will linger yet. Now into the world we go as we part But keeping dear memories within the heart “May happiness go with us, and with those That would make good of bad and. friends of foes. We’ve had troubles and pleasures too In the high, school days that we’ve been through. Now into college to be freshmen once more. Leading to the land we long hoped for. With a sad heart we leave Kinston High School, Where each day we’ve been taught the Golden Buie. This dear old faculty that we love so true, We are very sorry we must leave you. as we pass out of Kinston High May we look back ivithout a sigh. And remember as the years onward roll This dear old class with the blue arid gold, Lois Rouse, Poet.

T was on September eighth, Nineteen Hundred Twenty-Three, that our freshmen class anchored their good ship, “Freshman” at the dock in Kin- ston High School. Trials and tribulations were many, and symptoms of “ignorance” appeared among the colonists causing many discomforts. Soon it was time for the ship “Freshman” to go back and get the class of ’28, and the dear old class of ’27 established itself on Sophomore Hill. This was all that a wise class could be, helping its freshman brothers and sisters through their trials and tribulations. Then a great calamity befell this tribe, for their beloved school building was swallowed in flames. The Harvey School, to which this class is greatly indebted gave it protection. Here the tribe toiled on with English and Algebra until it finally reached the Junior valley. This was indeed a year to be proud of, because the class chose its 1 leaders and ordered rings. During the Junior year came the longed-for Junior- Senior Banquet. The Junior tribe roamed around until they came in sight of the Senior Dignity plains. With our Senior year came our beautiful Grainger High School building. The Seniors were more than paid for their hardships, because they were the first to graduate in the new building. Soon the Seniors were enter- tained by the Juniors at the Junior-Senior banquet. Then there was great re- joicing as 1 the Seniors left to go to Washington with the well-loved Miss Daniels and the admirable Mr. Hardaway. They stayed in Washington four days and there were great lamentations as they left. When this class graduated it left its younger brothers and sisters to toil on, while the members of the class of ’27 went out to seek more education in larger realms. Historian.
