Class Poem By Eloise Williams The Class of '23 behold ltls beauty and it's splendor. True hearts united pure as gold, Go through the years together. Four years have come and passed away Since we first gathered here, To study hard and sometimes play, ln our High School career. So these four years have rolled away, And with them all our troubles. Love and Good-will are here to stay, Our cares shall be like bubbles. If we our duties always do, Through this world we'll go smiling. But shirking work, you'll surely rue, And troubles will be piling. Our colors, radiant Red and Blue, l..et's Haunt them to the sky. And add to them, the Orange and Blue To honor Old York High. Our teachers we will ne'er forget, They're patient, true and kind, They'll linger in our memories yet, When High School halls are left behind. Impossible is Un-American, Our Motto tried and true, Be loyal to your Country And to the Orange and Blue. Impossible is Un-American, All things are done to-day, just try and you will find you can Where you have oft said Nay. And when you pass out into life As master of your fate, The world will smile upon you, If you'll hang on and wait. And now 'tis time to say farewell To High School friends and halls, We hope you'll all be happy as, Weive been within these walls.

In our eagerness to reach the goal we did not forget our policy of the previous years. That was to capture as many of the athletic animals as possible. We had been developing in every line of athletics the first three years, and although we had become famous those first three years, it was in this, the last act, that we had made history. Never did York High Teams have such spirit, push, and such FIGHT, as they did this year. The combination of three elements showed its power during the first of the City Championship Games. In this game the York High Team defeated and humbled the Y. C. I. team by a score 36 to 30. This was the finest and most sensational game ever staged in York. The second game was almost a counterpart of the first, buttin the two extra periods of play, FATE placed her deciding finger on the other side of the balance, and York High had the score four points against them, but they WERE NOT DEFEATED. ln both games older, larger, more experienced, more successful, veteran and especi- ally TRAINED players on the Y. C. l. team broke before the York High Team. The third game was not played for the results were already known. ln order to keep their record of games 4l won and I lost instead of 41 victories and 2 DEFEATS, the Y. C. I. PREFERRED not to play the third game, which was a certain defeat for them. While this brief account of the games should be in the Athletic History, yet I could not help but record it here for it has made the largest passage that has ever been written in the large History Book of the York High Schoo . The Greek Heroes and Ulysses have now overcome all difficulties, and home has been reached. The trials of that band of men and their leader are now completed. Graduation, the goal of our Class, has been reached. We did not forget, however, to examine the sack given to us by Zeus to find what the gifts were which he had bestowed upon the Class of l923. This is what we found. Scholastic ability, Literary Training, Athletics Powers, and last, a wonderful latent Dramatic ability. With such gifts it is no wonder that the Class of I923 was victorious over all its enemies and safely reached the port of Graduation. Curtain. CONCLUSION. We, as members of this famous Class will forever be proud of, and inspired by these deeds which our own Class has accomplished. We are no longer members of an organized and active Class of '23, but we will always be able to look back at the record of our Class, and use that record as a scource of Pride. This record shall stand, like the pyramids of old, to carry the fame of our Class as long as the High School exists. It will stand as a record which no previous Class has been able to eclipse, and which later Classes will use as a goal or an ideal, at which they will constantly aim, but only reach in their fond dreams.
