AR R ow 7 AN ODE I Come thou, O Muse, who didst inspire The bards of old to touch the lyre Teach me some fitting lay to sing And honor to my school to bring. Thus did I plead, and not in vain, For then, it seemed, the Muse did deign To bend her ear with grace sublime And hearken to this suit of mine. Sing, said the Muse, thy'school's fair praise-, Unto the stars her glory raiseg l Be th'ine the task but to proclaim How she has sought in Learning's name To guide thee on the way of life To arm thee we-11 for every strife. So, dear old high school, 'tis of thee Fhy care and love, my song shall be. Thy sheltering arms through these four years Have held us close in hopes and fears, As thou hast taught with precepts wise, 4 Life's highest values e'er to prize. To seek out truth, and kindly love, Nor yet from honor's path to rove. If joy and victory are Won, Or if defeat and sorrow come, To keep the faith, that in the end All threads in one true pattern blend. , All this and more now year by year, Hast thou taught us, thy children dear, T To mold our body, soul, and mind, To love our God and serve mankind. And now we offer, e'er we part, The tribute of a grateful heartg May this our votive offering be To grace the shrine of memory. 1 me 19 3 - Page Twenty-three

:gl A R R CDVV .::- SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Among the first days of September, 1926, forty-eight little seven-th graders rr-arched boldly to the institution which for six years has exacted from them their lives at the penalty of eighth hours. May, '27, saw them graduated as eighth graders, and that fall they enlisted as verdant Frezhmen, choosing as their guides Dorothy Todd, Genevieve Wood, Mar- garet Jones, and Jimmy Smith, Characteristic of Freshmen, they with blissful importance ruled the halls, and having finished their prescribed Algebra, English, and et cetera, were found safe in the Sophomore Class in the fall of '29, As gay young Sophomores they were desirous of a good time and by the efforts of their leaders, Bill Bob Foster, Banner Rice, Murray Williams, and Rube Oglesby. they enjoyed a fine picnic at the close of school, rejoicing that they had gone out from old Caesar's Gallic Wars, and would soon be safe in the Junior Class. These jolly Juniors were an energetic bunch. They realized their obligations to their elder senior brothers, and worked toward a banquet the entire year. Theilr play was a success, and, co-operating with their oflicers, Robert Mayes, Rube Oglesby, Genevieve- Wood, Dorothy Jones, and Banner Rice, they sponsored a ban- quet that will not be forgotten soon. They were indeed grand old Seniors. Their officers were John Stephens Holly- man, Mary.Carolin Krohn, Rozelle Higgins, and Jack Brown. They worked untir- ingly on the Arrow, presented a fine Senior pfay and went out from their Alma Mater in the spring of '31, deposited safe in the wide, wide world. lk-ge Twenty-four ' 19 aw , - J - 2
