Annual. cs SS We linger in parting, but we must say “eood-bye , To friends wetre leaving, without a sigh. Our lives will go on, but not as before, As we part with friends at the old school door. We've had hard tasks, but also fun, . For we were the class of forty-one. So to our friends, we now say a fond farewell . No more will we hear the old school bell. We're parting at last, but it will always be, That we keep in our hearts, a pleasant memory, Of the ones we're leaving, for there isn't one Who's glad to go in the class of forty-one. By Ruth Harris CLASS SONG There's a long, long trail awinding For the Class of '41 Where the business world is calling For each and every one There's a long, long night of waiting Ere our dreams shall come true Oh class mates till we'll be going down That long, long trail with you emAnna Mashburn Maxine Rose Very Untruly Yours The action of the senior class play took place in the cell of a county jail where Lee Mont= gomery;Professor Pollard, tried to finish the fin- al episode of “Anne Laurie's Glorious Past , Inte erruptions came fast and furiously from Reuberta Grady as the mother-in-law-to-be who talked con- tinually; Nadine McKinney as the Professor's fia- neee;Roy Foulke as an advice to-the-lovelorn edit- or; Edwin Daggett as Dean Drustor of Hamilton Uns iversity; Ruth Harris as the giggling school girl; Harold Wilkey as the policeman who was socked on the jaw; Maxine Rose as the colored maid; Herman Gardner as the exasperated jailer; and Verna Clary as the girl who saved the day.

H ) vy) LA Or pene Sas aies sete hae The Class of ta We started as freshmen, just four years ago, To gain some knowledge, that we should all know. Our first year was hardest; we know that is true, But with the help of our teachers, we finally got thru, Tho! they called us green --we had our fun, For we were the class of forty-one. Those hourly quizes! Oh, my, such a task, For anything harder--we didn't ask. Then next came the finals} Oh, me, and Oh, my} Before we had finished we thought we would diet But not all was hardships, for we had fun, For we were the class of forty-one. When vacation was over, we each came back, To study home ec or some history fact. We labored and studied and burned midnight oil, O'er French and math, did we hourly toil. a But not all was hard, for we had fun, . For we were the class of forty-one. od When school was out and vacation slid by, We returned as Juniors, proud but still shy. And on our lessons, we began once more, To. continue our tasks, just as before. 'Mid all the laboring we sure had fun, At the banquet for our class of forty-one. Last fall as seniors, we returned once more, To welcome our teachers and friends glore. Our four years here have not been in vain, For a little knowledge, we really did gain. But all throughout the years, we had our fun, For we were the class of forty-one. But now the time comes to say “adiey , To teachers, classmates, and friends so trues Bus this dear old schdol, wetll never forget, For we'll always remember where we first met. Our lives will go on as they've just begun, As we leave in the class of forty-one, ( )
