MEMORIES Prepared to face the future bright are twenty Seniors gay All dressed up in caps and gowns and ready for Commencement Day. As slowly we march down the aisle before the congregation I see a vision of four long years preceding graduation. First a flash of Freshmen days passes before my eyes Citizenship, Science, English and Math and a lot of noisy guys. As Sophomores, we enjoyed sports the parties, we adored And we loved the jokes Air. Davis told whenever we got bored. Next 1 see the jolly Juniors preparing a banquet gay I see them at the newspaper convention and presenting the Junior class play. We sang in the High School Glee Club o o we played many games of baseball But the picnic we gave at Timber lake was the happiest day of them all. Then suddenly— we were Seniors a long awaited dream had come true There we were selecting announcements and cards and ordering caps and gowns too. But in all four years of High School of all the things we’ve done Our most enthuiastic hours were spent at the three basketball tournaments won. A chapter in our lives is now closing a new world comes into our sight So we bid a farewell to our teachers and friends who have helped make our schooldays so bright. -BILLIE ANN OGDEN Class Poet twelve
