THE MARGARETTA THIS VVORLD -OIF OURS God made this world of ours VVith its many wonders to behold All the blessings He gives to us Are more precious than silver or gold. He gives us home and parents To love and cherish dear, Faith for a brighter tomorrow XVhen hopes suddenly turn to fear. He gives us sunshine and the rain To satisfy our needs VVith His help, day by day NVC try to do good deeds. He gives us freedom to go to churchg VVe like to hear His word, O'er all the way and every day His songs of praise are heard. He gives us power and strength To do as best we can. YVhatever we do in work or play It's according to His plan. Yes, we have much to be thankful for How happy we should bc, Living in this land of ours The home of the brave and the free. ICDITH BRYANT '52 THF ICPITAPH OF M. H. S. Listen, my children, and you shall hear, The epic tale of our school house dear. It's a run-down building lVith tilted floors, Squeaking boards. And crooked doors. The cloek's never rightg The teacher's never wrongg Vacations are too short, And classes are too long. The main room's either Too hot or too cold, And the creaky seats Are too darned old, But I love this old building, And the class of '5l . . . 'Cause in four straight years, I've had a lifetime of fun. DONALD CRANDLEMIRE 'Sl JUNIOR CLASS is for juniors, the class of fifty-two. stands for Unityg ours is true. N is the nice times, which we've always had, U I shows our intelligenceg in classes we'rc prepared. O stands for obiectiveg ours is always to do our best, R is for rank cards, that put us to the test. C stands for elassmatesg we think ours are great. L is for loyalty, our most desirable trait. A means our athletesg in these we excel. S is for smiles, our theme song as well. S is for Seniors, which we soon shall be. VVC have a wonderful classg now don't you agree? IQVICLYN JANE XVHITNICY '52 THE FINAL SCORE The minutes were fewg the game a tie, But our hopes now could never die. The right play-yes, it had to be I For us to go on to victory. A long pass-the length of the floor. It was all we needed for that final score. And then-at last, with a minute to go There came that long awaited throw. The cries of victory-on they came. And now we know it was our game. The game we fought with courage and might. The game was won by an honest fight. RALPH BATES '52 'UNIACHIAS SPIRIT A Maehias-ite has a trait Peculiarly his own. Is it his face or manner Or could it be his tone? liut there is an intangible something, XVhich rests within his breastg And urges each one onward To improve upon his best. Let's call it the Machias Spiritg For these two words express A good reason for ever doing The noblest and the best. b lt is the hlachias Spirit. lVhich helps us to progressg And surely and inevitably Leads us to success. . . .
