, L l BLUE .iaAY SENIORS MEMOIRS You say that the history I'm to relate Of this great class of Nineteen Twenty-eight This task to Ayrault should have been given For well we know he's the only historian living. The first of September in the year of Twenty-four Seventy-five children came to Sabetha's High Sch Prcfesso-r Marks with glances wide Said, You are welcome here, just step inside. The Profs were all a patient lot, Our frights and tremblings were soon forgot. With Jones, Bearg, Gravatte and Foster too, Our class moved on the whole year through. At the Hallowe'en party in the High School gym We joined the Sophomores with all our vim. The prettiest girl and the best looking boy From the Freshmen were chosen, much to our joy As Sc-phomo-res in the year of Twenty-five We chose Holland Lyons to preside, With Alderfer, Bearg and Lukert to assist, None could the class meetings e'er resist. At all football and basketball games in sight Watters and Lyons put up a good fight. To the Alpha Club many of our class did belong, Our boys and girls both were often heard in song. The Junior year was filled with problems thick, For our leaders, Fenner, Cave, Bearg and Myrick. Engaged by Wednesday, and the Land of Dolls, Gave fame and renown that to us was due. Yes, the Seniors we did entertain, For from having fun they could not refrain. The horns did toot and the .Serpentine flew, A jollier time no one ever knew. The years have flown 'till now 'tis twenty-eight, And here we are Seniors so sedate. Ayres, Weaver, Alderfer and Livengood, With Hiott and Cro-cker our trials understood. In debate, football, basketball and track You will find our class no numbers lack. The parts were well taken in the Senior play, And what can you say of our sneak day. AS we pass out through the High School door We bid farewell as others have before. May the Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors too, Bring honor and success to the White and Blue. ool door too, -Ruth Jackson. '--M -in I
