Senior Class -poem Here’s to the Class of Twenty-One, Here's to the champion team; Here’s to the boys Who have given us joys On the field and gymnasium floor. Here’s to the Class of Twenty-One, Here’s to our faculty friends. Here’s to the hearts That have beutcn with ours Thru pleasure and also thru pain. Here’s to the Class of Twenty-One, Here’s to our ’possum hunt, Here’s to t he stories That will go down with glories To generations yet unborn. Here’s to the Class of Twenty-One; We have brains, We have brawn, We have beauty; We have skill to work with, We have throats to sing with, We have hearts to love with; We have labor to be glad for, We have ideals to strive for, We have strength for enjoyment, And a wish to learn. Then here’s to the Class of Twenty-One, To the champion team, To our faculty friends, To our ’possum hunt. To our young heart thrills— Old School, we bid you adieu. —L. D. —23—
