X () RT O X HIGH S C H 00 L Tonight we close our high school life, To enter now a larger field, And may our motto ever be Within our hearts forever sealed, So when the tide of life has ebbed And borne us gently from this sphere, ft may be said of each classmate He was noble, honest, and sincere. ' ' Myrtice L. Fuller. CLASS GIFTS In the history of some classes The Christmas spirit longer stays, And the custom of glad giving passes On to sunny June time days. Yes, glad giving plus a little fun ; AVill every one assembled here Consider four lines as they run, So IT. M. A. need have no fear i The fellow who laughs when lie ' s joked about Is the fellow who ' s square and true; Somebody ' s bound to be joked about So don ' t get mad when it ' s you. NEIL BURGESS To Neil we give this flag so true Our leader of the red, white, blue; Under him boy scouts are led So I Ye heard it often said. WILLIAM PALES Oli, what shall we give to our own But? I ' ve thought and thought ' til I ' m almost a nut. There ' s nothing about you for us to knock, There ' s nothing about you for us to talk; There ' s something about you for us to copy, It ' s your smile that wins even the haughty So take this button with letters on blue And all your life may you go smiling through.

N O R T O N H I G H S C H O 0 I , CLASS POEM ' Twas in the fall of twenty-one That first we entered Norton High, And tli inking- back, we have learned much In those four years that have passed by. ' Tis not the lessons that we ' ve learned That wholly guide us on our way, But three virtues that we ' ve had Before us as we won each day. So these three virtues we have chosen To serve as motto for our class. To carry with us as we leave With much of life to yet surpass. Nobility is one of these, And honesty another one, Sincerity is now the last We ' ll carry with us till life ' s done. Through nobility Ave ' re sure to learn To rise above the strife of men, To overlook the petty cares, And then to all to be a friend. We ' ll find in life the higher cause That leads us onward to the goal, When men may say and say it well, There ' s nobility in that one ' s soul. In honesty one finds the source Of self-content and peace of mind, Because from ages past we ' ve learned That in the souls of human kind No peace can dwell when tho ' ts aren ' t true, That gain will come to those who try To walk the right path in their life, AVhile still the years go rolling by. Of our three virtues one remains. Sincerity is its fair name And if you are. to tread the heights, And walk the pathways of great fame Where many a man desires to be; Alean what you say, mean what you do, Be sure you ' re fair, be sure you ' re rigid. And victory will come to you. Page fifteen
