THE CLASS OF 1958 Thirty strong we’re graduating this year. We can’t decide whether we should shout or shed a tear. We,ve been at our goal a long, long time. We’ll tell you all about it in this little old rhyme. When we were freshmen we learned the fun and the woe. It rained at our homecoming football game, but we won even so. The Hallowe’en and the Christmas dances brought good times to us all. We ended the year waiting impatiently for the next fall. We came back as sophomores, all full otf vigor and vim. It didn’t take US long to get into the swim. We were AWFULLY busy you see. And we thought of next year, th,e big shots we would be. Here we are juniors our biggest year, you can bet, We wanted our prom to be the best yet. Oriental Gardens was our chosen theme, We all worked together, a big happy team. We had our first play, and we suppose you can guess, NO MORE HOME WORK! was a rollicking success. Our senior year contains our trip and our play, And we’re waiting for graduation, that’s all we can say. We should feel different, or so we’ve been told, But we don’t feel dignified, and certainly net old. We feel a bit smarter, we now have a clue To the problems that are in store, and a little of what to do. There’s one thing more we would like to make clear, We’re happy and grateful for all we’ve learned here. —by Pat Hale.
