MaArItyn BLow CLASS SONG (Time: Canis becimtonlem Yong) It’s time for us to leave, We hate to say goodbye For we’ve enjoyed it here At Wilson High. All our friends and teachers Who’ve been so nice and kind, It’s hard to go and leave them Here behind. We pretend to be so happy And glad to get away, But in our hearts we really know That we would like to stay. We've had fun in activities In which we’ve taken part And so to Wilson High We leave our heart. By Marityn Buiow.

4B Class History—Continued In the chemistry classes, Students studied emulsions and suspension, While the Coalhtion Party Held the Presidential Convention. After a very Uneventful summer, A census showed We had grown much dumber. Dick Esleeck, an alumnus Of the Alma Mater, Came back to coach football, And produce a first rater. Six wins and three loses, Our best record in years, Old Maury High School Went down in tears. What a surprise! An unexpected gift, Brand new uniforms Sure gave our band a lift. Of course there was Christmas, With classrooms bare, Students skipped classes Without a care. We started our senior year With intentions to study, But two weeks in physics Made our minds pretty muddy. Then came Baby Day, Feature of the spring, Boys in short pants, And girls in ? Buck Clayton, a three letterman, Captained the baseball nine, Shortstop Bill Smith Played mighty fine. I needn’t mention The Junior-Senior Prom You can see the picture In this book anytime. Exams we passed, We could not fail, To repeat the grade Would be worse than jail. During the summer, The war was won, The world was at peace, Except at Wilson. I could name our class officers, It’s a terrible grind, You can see I’m stuck, Can’t think of a rhyme. Our football team was swell, It really was a pip, Had it not been for Granby, They’ed have won State Championship. Five brother seniors Played their last games, Smith, Wyatt, Johnson, Andrews, And Clayton are their names. Our school days were ending, We had many dues, Annual pictures, college applications, And don’t forget class dues. My history is ended, If I’ve left you out, Please ignore it, And be a good scout.
