Class Poem They call us the Seniors of ’45, The best class of old Wendell High; Together we’ve stuck and we’ve all done our best. But now we must bid you good bye. We’ve finally finished our work in school, Our honors with great effort won; Yes, ’tis true, we’ve finished our work in school, But our real work has just begun. We will not be defeaated by struggle and toil, In the future we are to begin; For the work we have done here at old Wendell High Has taught us the best way to win. So farewell, our home f ' -r so long, dear School, And long may your light brightly glow, In wisdom, in truth, and in all faithfulness, As on through the long years you go. Etheline Wade Class Song, Long years we’ve stayed together, Lived, worked, and played together Our best efforts made together, For you our dear old Wendell High Now we must leave together, Your blessings receive together, Then we must part, But in all of our hearts, We always will be together.

In the fall of 1934 a group of sprouts were plant- ed into the soil of Wendell School. These sprouts were to become the important trees of the future. Being planted in the very best of soil and attend- ed by Surgeons that knew all about such sprouts in their first, second and third years of growth, we be- came straight and sturdy saplings. On entering the sapling stage we realized that we still had a great deal of growing to do to become good material. So under the care of a new group of Surgeons we began the growth that was to make us real trees. Some of us were rather hard to take root at first but with the proper attention and vitamins we were all young trees at the end of the next four years. Even though we had become young trees we still needed more attention and care in order to become trees of which the school would be proud. Again we were put under a new group of Surgeons who knew how to make us sturdy trees. We were strengthened that we might be strong trees. During this time we were given chancs to show our growth at such things as banquets, plays, basketball games, and other school activities. Throughout the years we have become more proud of the ground in which we have been planted. Now at the end of our eleven years of growth, our material being of the best, and our culture of the fin- est, we are ready to be made into the trees which will be most usefull in the U. S. A., which we are all so glad to call homo.
