We’ve labored hard, we’ve worked, we’ve hoped. Pray God we’ve done what’s right. It’s up to us to carry on, To carry on the fight. We “twenty-threes”, before we go, Would leave this with you too, He loyal to your High School, And she’ll play fair with you; And you the class of “Twenty-four”, Your heritage is “Main”. Iler reputation then is yours, Now keep it free from stain. You who would he remembered, Make for yourself a name; Take not your path from lowly roads, But set your mark on fame. Look then on life and laugh, And meet it face to face, For he who, fallen, battles on, Is he who wins the race. Farewell dear school, we'll ne’er repay, The debt we owe to you, And yet the time will never come, When we will prove untrue. Then, “Twilight and Evening Bell, And after that the dark; And may there be no sadness of farewell, When we embark.” —Talk Hicks, 1923 Class Poet.
