POEM 348 Ex Animo r QFrom The Hearty After this spring when we graduate As the class of nineteen hundred forty eight We'll no longer climb the creaking stairs Or tip over the study hall chairs, So let us take a backward glance At our high school advance. We've seen a great war come to its end And heard famous men their peace messages send, But like students of other times we played hard And worked to keep our school records unmarred Learned our reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic Even though at times we weren't any to quick. In few things do we excell But occasionally We have done well. From this you see we have quite a tribe Which I will now try to describe. When we all together convene There are three Marys, two Rubys, and one Gene Studious Thomas and Miller, his energetic pal And the likable twins to keep up our morale Athletic Roy and Earnest, our artist Popular Selena and Ruth, our journalist Handsome William, happy Ellen, and pretty Daphine Friendly Evoyd, moody Marie, and Glenn are to be And among our ranks you'll see Red-haired Helen and of course there's me, Roberts, Pansy and Connie Mae Who are sometimes sad and sometimes gay Then there's our chief so fine Our home-room teacher, Mrs. Rhyne. We're quite proud of what we have done And we're among the happiest under the sun. But wait-We're forgetting one big thing We wouldn't be Wearing our blue and gold ring If we hadn't had teachers who knew their stuff And parents who knew when that ache was a bluff, We appreciate the history and English The lunches and your urging us to finish, But most of all the common sense Rather than an irregular verb tense, Of what is to come we're no little afraid But when we our lives have made, You can say our success really began When you taught us to live with our fellowman. Seen Class Poetess ANITA BOLINGER
