Page 8 HIGH NEWS SENIOR CLASS POEM Commencement time is once more about, We, the class of twenty-seven from our school,—are passing out. There are eighteen on our roll, Each seeking his shining goal. Then here is a line or two, -ir the boys and girls so faithful, studious, and true. First on our roll comes Louise or rath- er “Sis”, One, whom we will all greatly miss, For she is always found to be busy and gay, And when asked to read French, never says “nay”! Next in line is Margaret, who always is filled with glee, But nevertheless she works very hard when needs must be. Then there is Fay who loves to type- write, And makes us have all our news just right. Now comes Martha who you’ll all agree, Works well and is just as good as good can be. Annabel takes very much delight, Telling us how much she enjoyed the previous night. “Hesse” is the one who digs very hard, And well deserves the A’s on her re- port card. Marie likes very much to laugh and talk, Also to ride in a Ford, but not to walk. When serving and cooking are to be done, It is there that Frances can be excell- ed by none. Ruth works hard and is amusing too, Without her what would the Seniors do ! Helen loves to play Volley Ball, And is ever willing to come at a call. Now we leave the girls with their sor- rows and joys. And find ourselves among seven gay boys. Austin or rather “Bikle” is the man, Who in Baseball or Soccer does the best he can. It is Clarence who fills the President’s chair, You can be sure he does his duty there. Robert is very bpshful about the girls, But he amuses Miss Bell with his stor- ies about the squirrels. Martin it seems can never agree. In History, Physics, or whatever it may be. David or “Peepie” is a real sport, And who can easily be found on the vol ley ball court. Whenever there is a ball game or par- ty, “Sensy” is always on hand, And sure to take the girls a ride in his Overland. It is Wade who knows Physics well. Yet he too welcomes the second bell. Beneath the blue and gold, We are leaving our school for fields untold. Under our motto, “Build For Charac- ter, Not For Fame,” May each and everyone of us make S. H. S. worthy of her name. So here’s to every girl and boy, May your life be filled with happiness, success, and joy. (Writen by Eva Miller, a member of the class.) Little Boy—Mama, is papa going to heaven when he diees ? Mother—Why, son, who put such an absurd idea in your head ?
