195 1 SEMAPHORE Yes, we were truly proud of our class rings, And the year that they held came fast, Soon we found ourselves in our Senior year, We had attained that goal at last. Our football team was really great. In the record books they left their name. Bad luck paced the field hockey team, But their spirit added to our fame. Success walked in our very footsteps. Though misfortune was always near. Victorious basketball and baseball seasons, Rounded out our golden year. Before the doorway of life we stand. Prepared to go forth into the unknown. Yet we falter before taking that step. To gaze back at the structure of stone. She is dead as far as life goes; Her ' s is not to breathe or see, But rather to help men forth To meet life and then eternity. Through those aged walls of red. We hear her softly speak. Not to one but to all present. To the aggressive and the meek. For every pair of eyes, life holds a different light, Yet the goal of all is to attain a lasting fame; That which is never attempted will never be attained; Your accomplishments will last longer than your name; Do not think by others you are deceived. For man is his own deceiver; Life is too short in happiness, too long in sadness, Yet neither lasts forever. ' We turn to face that life without; The future beckons before us. Should some of us ask. Will I make a success? Behind us we hear, ou must. 27

SEMAPHORE 195 1 CLASS HISTORY Class histories are supposed to be An accumulation of facts, For names and dates and places too Are things it never lacks. But I would like to slight the facts, If it so should please the reader. In such a way as to express Our love for our Alma Mater. In the 47th year of this 20th century On an early September morn, Our Freshman class was banded together Like a host of motherless fawns. Into these wondrous, friendly walls, Through doors we grew to love, With faltering steps and furtive looks, We climbed to the rooms above. Stern-faced teachers our seats assigned. We took them without a word. And when we received our Freshman books. We kept our thoughts unheard. But the year, before we knew it, Had faded into the past. And entering into our Sophomore year. We at once noticed the contrast. The teachers now we knew by name. The maze of halls we mastered. Elections were held, our very first, As president, F. Stanton was elected. Our dance committee was carefully picked. And our dance surpassed them all. And Sophomores with their heads held high Strutted Proudly through the halls. The Sophomore year came to an end. And we were Juniors now. We had passed half our high school education. And some of us wondered how. In our Junior year, permit me to say. In class discussions and meetings. There was never a lack of upraised hands. For Juniors were flashing their rings. 26
