CLASS POEM The (food ship “Class forty” has docked at the bar On this bright happy morning in May. Four years of hard sailing through rough seas of tvork Have brought us commencement day. IPs taken our courage and most of our faith To brave all the subjects called “stiff,” That first year of science, why it nearly swamped Our fmil little “green freshie” skiff. Great storms of hard work assailing our bark Have tossed us on high waves of doubt. But we’ve loved all the journey, the good and the bad From the start, and today we’ve icon out. But our hearts are not heavy, this isn’t the end Though our days of high school are o’er. So we joyfully charter and start on our course That leads to a higher life’s shore. —Janice Mullins

The first class officers were: president. Ralph Wallace; vice president, George Harman; secretary, Aloise Skaggs; and treasurer, Thomas Bailey. Soon came the time for the great event, our class party. The teachers commented that the party was a great success. As the year passed we found ourselves ready to pass the “green freshman” stage and become sophomores. In our sophomore year, Charles Shipley was elected president, Howard Harman, vice president, and Thomas Bailey, secretary-treasurer. Most of the members of the class belonged to some club. Six girls belonged to Girl Re- serves and six boys belonged to Hi-Y. That year quickly slipped from us and we were called “jolly juniors.” The class lead- ers were: Paul Munday, president; Ralph Wallace, vice president; and Myrtle Hayes, secretary-treasurer. At the end of the first semester, Paul Munday moved and Ralph Wallace automatically became the leader. The class ordered their much longed-for rings. It was then almost time for the junior- senior banquet for which the class had work- ed so hard. They secured money for the banquet by presenting a play, “Bashful Mr. Bobbs,” selling candy, stationery and Christ- mas cards, and by sponsoring a movie, “Stolen Heaven,” at the Lyric theatre. We are now dignified seniors, the name for which we have striven eleven long years. The class has already sponsored a movie, “First Love” and now we are getting ready to present our class play, “June Mad.” Soon the Commencement exercises will end our Nitro high school days.
