TUK NI X O NI A i y 22 Class Poem Oh. Seniors, now has come the day For four long years we’ve seen afar. We’ve hoped and prayed, yet doubted oft That we should ever reach our star. Our teacher’s words we’ve tried to heed When they to us would often say. That we this goal would surely reach If we would do our best each day. We’ve been a loyal, trusty hand. And on each other ne’er would tell. F.’en though the rules we sadly broke. We always came through very well. Our fold is not what we had hoped When we the race had just begun. Vet barring that, for Nixon High The prize for size we still have won. Our sadness nearly equals joy When from our High School we must part. They tell us that in life we'll find So much to test and prove the heart. But yet our courage is so great. Our motto now we go to prove. And we will not forget its truth Howe’er apart our paths may move. “We build the ladder by which we climb.” So doth our motto nobly read. And since we all its challenge meet We’ll strive our best to live its creed. Page 19 Frank ami Reliable—Maree Marsh.

J» ? THE 1X0X1 A Our teachers one and all we thank. Who oft reproof and praise bestowed; We know that in their guidance kind. Our feeble light more brightly glowed. And as we part from Nixon High. Not sev’ring of friendship true, Mav we the good days ne’er forget As in our life come pleasures new. They tell us now will just begin Our troubles, trials, and cares; But we have learned to laugh all day, For jolly fun is in our wares. Though life looms dark and mystic now. We mean some day to backward look. With pride and joy to then recount Our happy days within this nook. Some names we feel will surely head The list of great things done. As each one strives his place to fill And merit commendation won. So now farewell. Old Nixon High, W e hope your fame may spread. Though none may ever us surpass. Be many on your wisdom fed. C. I .
