SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Spring Ferm President HENRY L. OWEN, JR. Vice-President Mary ScoTt TYREE Secretary BETSY ROLLINS Treasurer ELSA JANE DORSETT ——— — — | SENIOR CLASS POEM It seems but yesterday, and yet It seems a whol e lifetime Since we, the Class of Forty, set A goal toward which to climb. | We’ve reached that goal and now we stand Eager to forge ahead, Although a most bewildered band, The path of Life to tread. Yet, taking as our sword and shield, The knowledge gained here— We’ll face the world and never yield For “Forty” knows no fear. We’re leaving now these hallowed halls Commencement day arrives To’ loathe to part, Adventure calls And we must mold our lives. Mildred Thorp. THE 1940 HI-NOC-AR Ten
