CLASS POEM It was in the fall of ' 45, The school again hecame alive With students milling in the halls, And writing things upon the walls. We were freshmen, young and gay, Thinking of that coming day When upper-classmen we would he Soon out of school and roaming free. We didn’t realize our love for you so dear, E’er our parting time drew near. The years were long and drawn out so. But our little hrains began to grow With knowledge crammed into our skulls. And school began to seem less dull. The sophomore year had passed at last And we moved up to the junior class. The junior year was longest of all. For we knew that in the following fall. Part of our goal would be reached at last. For then we would be in the senior class. Then it came, dear old ’49, And we were seniors, strong of mind. We had been through our years of school. And knew all about the golden rule. When we our places take in the world. And slowly watch our lives unfurl We will remember the halls and rooms. And Bubba standing with his brooms. When our success at last draws nigh. Twill be credited to thee, dear Oakhurst High. Thomas Scott Page Fifteen
