Troyan CLASS POEM ‘Though long and hard the journey And muddy be the road The one who wants to get ahead Is the one who carries the load, There are ‘ome who never try And just don't se2m to mind If their friends keep on progressing And still leave them behind. Yet others work so hard and long And still it coesn't show That they've cone anything at all- But they'll get there, too, we Imow. Still there are others who work along And though not in ea hurry : They always get thines done on time it's easy--they con't worry. Patience and willingness to work And the ambition to be someone Is what it takesfrom cay to day To earn your place in the sun. So with our diplomas as our passports Weset out to worlds a-new And our place in M.C.H.S. Dear Classmates, we leave to you. --itta Heim CLASS SONG (Tune- America The Beautiful ) Oh Senior Class of '42 As we strive for our Success Let's work for higher princivles And lots of Happiness iLe¢- s)-f ace: our troubles fair Shi. square And fight them to the end- ntil Success and Fame is ours find in our lives they biend, ==Htta Heim
