ia fHmmft Umltors 22 We chose for our Class Colors, Old Rose and Gray. Class Flower, Pink Carnation. Class Motto: “B (sharp); B (natural); but never B (flat).” We have had many good times together in our work, as well as play; sorrow, as much as joy ; and hope to do so later on. as well as now- We have six teachers, all of whom we are greatly interested in and love, and hope they are interested in us as well- Mr. Bryson, our Principal, teaches us General Science; Mrs. Hamer teaches us English ; Miss Glancy, Mathematics and Geometry ;Miss Syx, Phy- sical Geography. Mr. Fiske teaches us Civics. We are greatly interested in our work and have to study hard to get the five of our lessons prepared for each day. But all play and no work is not the thing for anyone, and so we en- joy studying. Our greatest aim is to set an example for the grades that are to follow us. We have developed a great love for one another and this will he our sweetest memory during absence in our vacation months and after school as well. —Barney Mercer, Class Historian. NINTH CLASS POEM Classmates, we are met together, For our work is just begun ; So we give consideration To the task that each has done. First, we must take up our studies— Have we always done our best? Have we been up to the standard? Have we always stood the test? As for teachers! what about them? They, of course, helped all they could; But we had to learn our lessons ; Try our best—try to make good. How about the task before us, Were we willing to work hard? Did we try to he the “boosters?” Keep our honor roll unmarred What about the teams we root for— Have you seen them on the floor? Did their ability surprise you, As they made score after score? When your work has been completed. And the sands of time grow old, Can you say you have been loyal To your colors. Blue and Gold? —Joseph Charney. Twenty-seven
