Before us now-the wide, wide world VVhere we will learn our fates. Behind us days at Melba Hi, And friendships none can sever For mem'ries of those days gone by, Can vanish from us, never. Behind we must leave all our friends And schoolmates, kind and true, For now we must go into the world, Our chosen work to do. Yes, now we're leaving Melba Hi We sadly bid farewell For memories of that happy past Will e'er in our minds dwell. Now let this be advice to all And try to do your best. Don't try to hurry through its halls But study and strive with zest. L.M. Senior Class History T was at the annual meeting of the alumni society of the Melba High School in September, 1935 in the new high school auditorium that I first heard the story as follows: We enlisted in the service of education September, 1920 on board the flagship Melba High. We were given our war bags and we started the hard work of learning the ropes. The captain was French, who shivered his timbers incessantly. The First Mate was Casey, and Shenk, the Second Mate. Duify resided in the crow's nest and gave orders to all except just one. The Ensigns or the Non-Coms were very self-important but they made their bluff work. With this formidable array we sailed out of the harbor on the bleak and barren sea in search of a land known as Senior Heights, the goal of all ambitious youths. We learned rapidly, and due, to the novelty of our position, we had a very pleasant time and our voyage progressed rapidly. Our first retarding came with dress parade inspection, when some of us were black listed. Our follies were punished and we continued on our way. We were again in good spirits when we sighted an island. When we landed on this strange island we were surrounded by queer people. They had unusually large heads upon their very small personages. These were called Sophomores. We had a very delightful time during our short stop and these natives showered us with all their best and finally wanted to adopt us in their tribe. This, however, could not be because we did not care to remain in this semi- savage land, but when we sailed we had assumed their egotistic ways.
