A Earina ilaigbmap N W'e longed lo hnd the road to fame, But not a highway bore that name. We thought to fame that there must be A level path that we could see, But euery road to which we came Possessed a terrifying name. We newer thought that fame might lurk Along tlzat weary path called work, But we thought we'd study hard and see If that led to the road called industry , So we chose a road that was rough and dry Ufhich went by the name of Varina High. We scurried down that road, dubbed as rats, Nibbling at Latin, Algebra and such as that. Though that year was hard and mental racking We learned that in knowledge we were lacking. In '22 as Sophomores, we traveled the road againf Without us what would the School of Varina have been? When we were tired of English, French and Mathmatics, We always found cheer in Athletics. Juniors we were that year in September, Not the meanest class, we were only peppy, remember. While we trod the rough road obeying regulations and rules Others took shorter paths or business schools. Seniors we're ending with gladness and mirth, Each feels himself now of some worth. We may not have won a place in the Sun, But each one knows his task is well done. The man who newer has to win his share Of life's pleasures, burdens and cares Never becomes a manly man But lives and dies as life begaizj But because we'fae taken this way We hope to come to fame some day. ---ISABELLE I 14 I WHITLOCK, Class Poet
