We've racked our brains, time and again, V ONDERING HOW WE WOULD BEGIN, SO IN THIS POEM YOU READ TODAY, Don't be surprised at what we say. We loved every minute of our first year, And thought our teachers so very dear. It was fun to read Ben and Alice, too- But more important things we were yet to do. Our second year was packed with thrills And fusses, fights, falls and spills. Two of our teachers, Mrs. Talbott and Mrs. Mead, Taught us some more of how to read. It was in the third that we all got blue, For now we had to stay till half past two. There were spelling bees and maps to draw. And this meant more work for one and all. But in the fourth we were really it. Full of pep and plenty fit. 'Twas here we had our first basketball team, Those cute little cheerleaders were really supreme. In our fifth year of school, We learned to live by the golden rule. We studied more and more each day, Spending our time in a more useful way. Our sixth year of school then begun. We had plenty of work along with our fun. We all looked forward to the passing of May, Because next would come Graduation Day. We then began our first year in Junior High We wandered around, each giving a sigh. We had started the year with great hopes. Now WE ALL FELT LIKE COMPLETE DOPES. In the eighth grade we had learned what to do. We were now capable of pulling through. We cast our cares to the rear, And looked forward to our Freshman year. Now as Freshmen our role was two fold Leaving Junior High, we were one step nearer our goal. Our subjects were new, our classes seemed harder. With views of Senior High our ambitions grew larger. Subdued for maybe a day, and a little shy. The next year we entered Senior High. This was the year the two Roses came, To ADD MUCH TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL FAME. As Juniors we had a more dignified air. And to the Sophomores we now gave a disdainful stare. With twelve of us Betas, and eight playing basketball. Gave a feeling of pride to one and all. And now we have reached our long-sought goal, As fifty-two Seniors are now on our role. We've made our record, and our day has past. And now to the future our die is cast Bells will ring on, both school and wedding. We now leave our high school days, regretting That our happy carefree days now end, The best of happiness to all we now send. Bettye Jo Mitchell Martha Stewart Anne Simpson 19
