Don Burgess, a machine mechanic, ls slowly driving his bosses frantic. Bill Spicer, God's gift to the ladies, Now is employed sitting babies. Now if you don't know how, but, of course, you do, Don Lett will teach you how to woo. And finally Jim Grandy, who is learning to croon, We all hope he'll give it up soon. On sayings of wise men we can depend, One of these is that all good things must end. The things we have read, you wait and see, And now you know what the future will be. -Virginia Seybe rt- Class Poem GRADUATION The time has come to say good-bye To all our friends in Straitsville High, And then continue on our way To a busy, brighter, future day. To the many things we all have planned, Use the opportunities of our land. But, to reach our goal we must think and say, Success will be ours e'en though far away, If we do our share of both work and play. And to those who follow close behind, We advise that they always keep in mind The things learned here, to use in Life'-s School The best of these being the Golden Rule. So now we part, and smiling, prepare . Of the world's great tasks, to do our share, But though now we smile, many times we'll sigh For our happy days in Straitsville High. - Janet Downs - Class Colors Class Flower Green and White Pink Rose Class Motto THE SHIP OF PROGRESS IS PILOTED BY EDUCATION
