ven fA e+t Qold Class “D” ☆ ☆ ☆ Our Motto: Through these portals, pass, or fail, clever mortals. (C) 3£OLLOWING Class D around for one day is taking your life into your own hands. They are the busiest, happiest crowd in the school, what industry! what enthusiasm! what a racket! We learn everything here—in Phys. Ed. how to break our necks, in First Aid how to fix them. We completely ruined the music teacher ' s ear for music. We think a tuning fork is an instrument for eating tuna fish, and a do note is a five dollar bill. Miss S. has come to the conclusion that our expressive art lesson was pretty poor merely because we have nothing to express. If the Art Room is now referred to as The Blue Room it ' s because one of our art lessons got a little out of hand. The poor librarian despairs of our inability to see straight and hence our inability to get books back on the right set of shelves, let alone the right section. In Science, there we sit like birds in the wilderness while Mr. S. gives us the bird. To us, the Canada Goose is a duck with citizenship, and the Snowy Owl, a fighter squadron. There ' s never a dull moment though there ' s never anyone with home¬ work done, there ' s never anyone on time for a class—and for the early class there ' s never anyone. So we end our all too brief tour in Class D. As our ship leaves harbor and the strains of Aloha become more and more strained, we say farewell to a really special class. Years may tumble swiftly by, Distance, may us space. Still we will remember Each friendly, happy face. School days, are the happy ones That will long remembered be The happiest and the dearest Are those spent with Old Class D. JEAN PEACHEY Page Twenty-nine
