CLASS OF t40 We entered M. GO. I. S. with a fecling of despdir. All was confusion for we were strangers thoro. This changed in a few short weeks For advisors and upperclassmen help In things a freshman socks. The first year things wero very slow, Since we were up and on the BO « But now our days seem going fast — As our goal grows very near to us. . Soon our four year's bliss will be a remembered past. For high school friends we've set apart A lasting place within our heart. : Like a sailor, thankful for wind-fillod sails, We regret to leave those who’ prepared us For life's penetrating gales. When I look back I get the bluos, : To think of M. H. S. and all the things we'll lose. But we are glad to be near our glory In a branck of man's greatest institution That wc might be with you in the world's story. We'll soon join you on the battlefield of life, And grow old as others follow to help’us in our strife. We hope we've devoured some knowledgo, And we'll try not waste your sacrifices After we've crossed that near bridge. ---=-George Owens
