Class Poem GOODBYE The time has come to say “goodbye,” To those who stay at Oakwood High. We’ll long remember those pleasant days As we journey on in separate ways. To Mr. Mason, our principal wise, Who was always ready to sympathize, His kindness and gentleness led us through To closing old doors and opening new. Mrs. Blackburn, a very dear friend, On whom every one sincerely depends, As our secretary she was always there Willing and ready to do her share. And here’s a toast to our teachers dear, Who broadened our wisdom and made our minds clear. In mathematics, science, literature and all They helped develop our memories small. “.Jolly Juniors” here’s wishing good luck to you, You’re really a team with competition too, But as we close our high school days We leave you to lead in many ways. “Dummies,” they call you Sophomore “kids,” But don’t mind that ’cause we think you’re the “biz” In every thing you do and say Here’s luck to you in every way. And to the “Freshies” who are small but wise, Who’s uncertain feelings they try to disguise, We’re sure you’ll come out on top. For once you get started you’ll never stop. Bus drivers, we think a lot of you Who in all kinds of weather brought us through. The best to the men who by their toil Keep our school so free from soil. Again “Goodbye” to those who stay, And luck to you all in work and play. We hope you’ll remember us as years pass on ‘Cause we’ll never forget you 'til days cease to dawn. —Esther Dolbee.
