CLASS POEM Let Us Admit It Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should: We've had no end of lessons and they've done us no end of good, We entered as timid Freshmen, we leave as graduates bold, And we find it hard to realize the knowledge our young heads hold. We've had our foolish notions knocked higher than Franklin's kite, Our minds have been made over, and we know it served us right. We've spent four years in labor hard to prove the fact once more That life is quite confused and two and two are seldom four. We're crammed to the brim with learning, and now we must turn it to use, And if one of us is a failure, he hasn't a single excuse. The more we work and the less we talk the better result we shall get For we've had four years of training, it may make us successes yet. Let us admit it fairly as high school Seniors should: We're proud of Oak Hill High, it's done us a lot of good. 7 Class Poet -- Frances Hart Class History In early September, 1937, we, the 1949 graduates, began our schooljourney. Approximately fifty frightened students were soothed by Mrs. Pattie Morrow, a patient, child-loving teacher. That year was filled with many new experiences for all of us. During our second year we were under the direction of Miss Persa.lineO'Brian. It was this year that we learned the purpose of school. We gainedtwo of our present students that year, Na- ncy and Peggy Wood. Our years of grammar school seemed to pass rapidly. As we traveled from grade to grade we lost a number of students, yet we gained a few. In the sixth and seventh grades Violette Black- well, Frances Hart, Barbara Ann Smart, Carolina Cannady, and Ray Royster joined us. High School, at last we,ve gained you. It seems that four years ago on a certain September morning, a number of forms were observed sneaking in the direction of high school. During the first month of this year we suffered much inconvinience because of our unfamiliarity with the high school rules. Often we entered the wrong room and arrived at the classroom a half hour late. Because of this we had to pay heavy penalties, but by Thanksgivingwe had become familiar with the rooms and were in the right place at the right time. The curtain fell on our Freshman year with only a few casualties. As another school year sprang upon us, we were renamed Sophomores. That year we had many different things to attract our interests. Clizbs, athletics, foreign language, and other grown-up activities were met. When we reached the eleventh grade, we were very conceited because we were Juniors. We had a great deal of excitement that year - probably the outstandingthing being the Junior-Senior Banquet. By the time we had gone through the eleventh grade, we began to realize that we might fin- ish high school some time. And now we come to the fourth and greatest year in the history of our class. This, our last year, has in many ways been our best year. There have been parties, ball games, picnics, and other entertainments for us. We have enjoyed it all, even the bad part. Now that we have reached the climax of high school, which is graduation, we are able to see in the distance broader horizons than we have ever dreamed of seeing. It is with heavy hearts that we leave our numerous friends and teachers here at Oak Hill. May we all with strength of purpose and character have success in our future attempts. May we never forget the ideals and principles that have been instilled in us while attending Oak Hill School. Beth Royster -- Historian -'Gt 9 99'-
