SENIOR EDITION? 1939 “On the Life of a Senoir” Oh, what pains we seniors suffer! Can anyone think of a life any tougher? Lessons as usual get in our hair, Along with the other things we must bear, Such as class meetings taking away our spare time, And class fees demanding our very last dime, Speeches on why we should go to college, When it’s hard enough to get this wee knowl- edge, Having to sit and ‘‘smile at the birdie,’’ Which makes you feel like a monk with a gurdy, Since you know that your picture will never please you, And all your friends are sure to tease you. And constant urgings to get an ad, Or else, S. L.’s ‘‘It’ll be just too bad.’’ But the hardest thing of all for me Is trying to keep my voice on key And follow the melody’s intricate strain Without causing Mr. Hawke too much pain! With all these troubles on my mind, Is it any wonder I fall behind, And on my innocent head call do wn The awful doom of a teacher’s frown, For having forgotten to read that play, Or hand in my report on that certain day. Oh me, wouldn’t being a senior be fun, If we weren’t buried under a ton Of other worries, work, and woe That keep our poor brains on the go? Yet, on the whole, I cannot say That I didn’t enjoy class dress-up day. And it was fun in the halls strutting by Freshies and sophomores, those small fry. And maybe class meetings weren’t so dull; Page Twenty-cight At least we managed to keep them quite full, If not with business, then with noise Causing Miss Cohen to use her poise, And Bob to yell his poor throat hoarse— Ah, now’s the time to feel remorse! Now’s the time, this very minute, To cherish the gaiety we well may covet, When we are out in the world on our own, And life takes on a more serious tone. Oh, we may grumble and we may pout; 3ut let there not be a shadow of doubt That we’ll feel blue when we leave this year, And many of us will shed a tear When we say good-by to those happy hours In this dearly beloved school of ours. Oh Central, though now we must say farewell, What words can we find that will truly tell How much we have learned, how much we have gained, From the lofty standards you’ve always Maintained, From teachers’ efforts to teach us the things That will help us meet whatever life brings, From the friendships we’ve formed and the training we’ve had In strengthening the good and uprooting the bad, From the spirit of sportsmanship that pre- vails. Oh, Central, we thank thee, thou guardian of youth ; In fol lowing thy precepts we’ll strive for the truth. For Central students there’ll be no bars, For they will seek for and search the stars. —ROSALIND DuBROVNER
