NlXONIA = CLASS POEM 'Twns only four short years ago. That we entered Nixon High; Those years have passed with fleeting wings, Our parting now is nigh By friendship true our hearts are hound. Deep rooted Is our love; In brotherhood we’ve worked as one. As we’ve climlied to heights above. We’ve reached the goal that We’ve rightly earned. With four hard years of toll; With no dishonor on our name. Our deeds have proved us loyal. We fPng a glance backwards o’er the years. And memories sad we find : Though we face the world with fearless hearts. We leave a tear ltchind. We hate to leave the dear old school. Its hard to part at last; tlive up the friendships of the years. Give up the days now passed. We’ve met the trials of school together. We face the world—Alone; We face it bravely—Not a fear, We won’t complain or groan. We’ve learned our lessons in the school. That we can n'er forget: We’ve learned them well; they will help us much We n'er can pay our debt. our school shall e’er stretch out to 11s, An ever guiding hand ; Though we may drift far from our school days past. Afar in distant lands. —IT. W. -Ml. Intermingle jest with earnestness.’’- Gladys Peterson. 11
