1931 THE CHi4NTI'CLEER Class Poem EAR old abode of learning, Dear old familiar place, You've made pothooks in our memory That time can ne'er erase. We love your rooms and halls-g At least in retrospect, We can't quitesay we've felt that way When answers wer'nt correct. Dear old deserving teachers, Each of a kind warm heart, Forever thus you will be to us, Though time and distance part. We love your idiocrasies- Although We must admit To stint unlearned your glances burned, Your comments fairly bit. Dear old principal, Cast in a noble mold, We'll recollect you with respect Till all our years are told. We love your ways and methods- But, oh, your darkling calm When tempests blew ah, then we knew, Though guiltless, many a qualm. Dear old adoring schoolmates, Friends of our yesterdays, We can truly add we're a, Wee bit sad 0'er this parting of the ways. We love your awed devotion- But, oh, your childishness For Seniors to be seen with you Has caused us much distress. books MARTHA CATHERINE ELLISOR, Class Poet
