Graff, we leave our deepest reverence, loyalty and gratitude for all he has done for us in our four years in Laurel High. Section II—To T. H.

ARTICLE II Section I—Doris Mart-hand wills her position as Champion Gum-Cracker of Laurel High to Rose Ellen Foley, and Freddie Hilgert to any one who wrants him.

Section VIII—George Davis leaves his special brand of hair oil to Lloyd Shay with hopes that it will help him just a little—sorry Lloyd, but you will have to inquire about the brand.

Class Song (By EUNICE COULTER) Tune: “Rendezvous With A Dream” When we leave, our dear old high, We will remember you, remember you. With a sigh. For our cares, were small and few, And we were happy here, so happy here, Friends with you. And so we say, dear old high school. We’ll miss you so much, and through the Years In the future. We’ll store happy dreams, dreams of you. And so at last, we say adieu. We will remember you, remember you. Dear old high. Class Poem (By LOUISE DAWSON) LIFE’S VOYAGE As, when sailing o’er the ocean In our frail ships of life; As, through storms of fierce commotion. Causing waves of bitter strife; As, through days of peaceful sailing When the skies above are blue, If we are or are not failing. Laurel High, we’ll think of you. When, by chance, we drop our anchor In the port of deep despair. If a butcher or a banker. Let’s not leave our anchor there. Take it up and travel onward To success. And then still true, Laurel High School, we ll look forward To our home port and to you. SENIOR CLASS COLORS: Silver and Green. CLASS FLOWER: Roses.
