Class H zlvtory I'm sure every Senior remembers That day in September '39, When we gathered as lowly Freshmen Before the doors of Portland High. We soon began our studies, Latin and English and such, We found our classes interesting, And our knowledge increased so much. Soon came our Freshman party, With lots of gaiety, Everyone felt quite grown up- Making his bid to society. So our first year sped quickly by, And we had our first exams, When welcome summer rolled around, Books closed with a happy bang. The summer vacation quickly passed, Arid we were back again, Mind you, now as lofty Sophomores Of Portland High, grade ten. We selected courses of Biology, French and English and shop, And that spring brought another party- Of course, you remember our hop. Each student had also joined a club, And entered a group to his liking, Dramatics, dancing, school paper, sports, Shooting, badminton, hiking. Almost before we knew it, We had passed another mile, And after lessons and final tests, We were glad to vacation awhile. Returning that fall as Juniors, We really felt quite upper-class , just a grade below the Seniors, And we'd be one soon-if we passed. Our courses of study increased, The fun and pleasures did too, And victories in sports that year, Showed what the fellows could do. Then came that day of days, When the class received its rings, Everyone was so proud of them They were noticed by all, that spring. just before the close of school, We attended our first prom, Dancing beneath an Hawaiian sky, Eating 'mid Howers and palms. Now we've almost reached the end Of our studies at Portland High, The four years we've spent together Have nearly all gone by. In earning money, we've been tops With magazines and candy, And though we can't view Washington, We know Victory will be just dandy. As classmates, we've all had fun, And prepared for our many careers, We hope each one finds good luck and su CCCSS As he strives for his goal through the years That concludes this resume Of the class of '43, And I'm sure we'll all look back With many a pleasant memory.
