Class Poem Erma Ran In the class of nineteen-twenty-two Of Warrensburg Community High, There are nine young gallant souls, Ready to do or die. Among them is Beulah Haywood, A maiden young and fair, Who is surely a born coquette, From her toes to the roots of her hair; You should see those dangerous glances, She sends from her eyes debonair. And there is her sister Flossie, A girl both gentle and kind; You may search all over this county, A merrier you will not find. And then to crown it all, She has a sprightly mind. Another is Georgia Emrick, A damsel blithe and gay. She has a little tongue, Which wags the livelong day, Winning all hearts to her side, So none can say her nay. And that is all the girls but one, Her name is Erma Rau. She isn’t of much importance, So I won’t tell of her now; But pass on to the sterner sex, And let each make his bow. Of these is one Lawrence Albert, He is a light hearted boy, Wherever you happen to see him, He always seems full of joy. He appears to have as much fun, As a child when it has a new toy. And Sidney B. Cotton, too, Is out for the fun he can get. He’s just a little boy, Who’s never grown up yet. But he has a serious side, He’s strong in argument. I :t

Now place your gaze on Ennis Pease, He is an ambitious youth; He aspires to be a senator, And may be yet, forsooth; For his talents are many and varied, Depend upon one who speaks the truth. And now please meet Harold Wickline, He has a cheerful face. With his versatile accomplishments, He’ll surely win a high place. His nature, one can see, Is neither false nor base. There is yet one more in the class, I speak of Forrest Wentworth; And such boys as he, Are the salt of this green old earth. You never see him sulking, He is a lad of mirth. When you make a mistake, don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your own mind, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. . . The past cannot be cnanged. The future is yet in your power. The inner side of every cloud Is bright and shining; Therefore turn your clouds about, And always wear them inside out, To show the lining. —Foivler. Resolve to see the world on the sunny side, and you have almost won the battle of life at the outset. That which we are, we shall teach, not voluntarily, but involuntarily. Thoughts come into our minds by avenues which we never left open, and thoughts go out of our minds through avenues which we never voluntarily opened. —Emerson. We do not know how cheap the seeds of happiness are, or we should scatter them oftener. —Franklin. ’Tis more to be good than be great, To be happy is better than wise; You’ll find if you smile at the world The world will smile back in your eyes. —Lowell. 14
