Class Poem Four years ago we were Freshmen, Our high school days had begun. Our graduation seemed far away But an object of height when won. As Freshmen, we envied the Seniors, And it seemed it forever would be I'ntil Sophomores we were christened, lVe were Freshmen no longer, you see. This was one step toward our graduation, We began to enjoy 'all the fun. Then as Juniors we felt quite important For by each there was much to be done. Those three years had flown by very quickly Then at last our promotion received, Our goal was obtained, we were Seniors, We were Senio1's, the class in the lead. That year is the one in our me1n'ry To be found uppermost all the time, And our four years at Shelby will always Be of 1ll9lllUl'iL'S noble and fine. Now, although we're graduating, XVe're leaving llllIC1l behind, Wa-'re leaving all our high school friends, Students and teachers kind. We're under obligations To Shelby High School days, Here we received our greatest help To speed us on our ways. 'Twas here we started out to gain Our knowledge that through life Would help us solve our problems, And contend with daily strife. So, for the past four years WVe want to thank you one and all, For with your aid we've started out To answer our life's call. VVe're leaving Shelby High School, VYe're leaving friends so kind, And though we're graduating The best is left behind. But in the years to come we ll dream- Each member of this class - Of our Senior year at Shelby school, A year that's in the past. With n1em'ries fond of classmates, then VVe'll wonder where they've gone, What things they've done, what places seen What honors they have won. VVe'1l wonder if the ineunbers Of this class, both near and far, Have cherished the motto that we chose- 0ur ideals are near the stars. This motto which before us stands Is ours, to guide us on. We'1l hold it high, that in future years We shall have tried-and won. LaVei ne Oberlin 44

An Inspiration Cl! to All Graduates THERE is still no other country on earth which offers to the average man or woman as America does, the personal freedom, the right to own property, the rewards of individual ef- fort and thriftg the comforts, luxuries and en- joyments of lifeg the hope which even the less fortunate may feel that there will be ways to climb out of their difficulties if they perse- vere. Let the thought be an inspiration to each of you in your efforts to achieve personal security and independence. Q Shelby State Bank 5-g g o. M. oLsEN, Cashier v 'f 9f SHELBY, MICH. 46
