CLASS POEM We, The Seniors We had our time as day by day. We came to Polk to work and play. We're leaving now with tears in our eyes. For it s time to give our last goodbyes. Goodbye dear friends that we have known, To us true friendship you have shown. Goodbye to the campus and the school, It was here we learned the golden rule. Goodbye to the times that we had. Whether they were good or bad. For it was through our work and play. We've been prepared for future days. We're going into the wide-wide world. With Polk High learning like a flag unfurl'd; Let's bear that banner really high. That the American way may never die. We're headed for wars, world of trouble. We'll falter not, but work redoubled Polk High has helped each one or us, So let's succeed, nIn God We Trust.” CLASS PLAY f,The Campbells Are Comingn The Campbells Are Coming” is a hilarious farce with hillbilly trimmings, describing the most effective technique for getting rid of an undesirable suitor.
