THE RAinBOlD A SENIOR POEM In the future.— When you are feeling blue. Everything’s wrong, and nothing to do. Nowhere to go. and nothing to see. Imagine yourself again a Senior In Twenty Three. Then,— Open this Annual and take a look. Remember the trouble it took. And that sometimes things went wrong. Then, did we whine? Not long. When everything was going bad. And it took all the courage we had,— Not a Senior loafed on his job,— Twenty-seven others world pound on his knob, We had too much to do to worry. And those who told us to hurry About d. ing this and not doing that. And who felt that their life’s mission Was in helping us into a good position, Or in giving us advice; Did it because they loved the class Of Tw'enty Three. So, in the future,— When you are feeling blue. Everything’s wrong and nothing to do. Nowhere to go and nothing to see. There will be cheer for thee In the history of the Seniors Of Twenty Three.

We, the Senior Class of 1923, do bequeath to the faculty a few days not filled with anxiety, lest the Seniors flunk.

To the Freshmen, we bequeath a cent, now in the Cross County Bank to be given to them on their eighteenth birthday. To the sub-Freshmen, we bequeath the gum left under the seats in the Study Hall. To Mr. Alcorn, we bequeath our sincerest appreciation for his patience and earnest efforts to make Wynne High School better than ever. To Mrs. Lemons, our class advisor, we give our heartiest thanks for the help she has given in overcoming the difficulties we have had as a class, and for making this, the year of 1923, the best one we have had in school. To Mr. Key, the athletes of this class leave their uniforms and lockers to be given to next year’s team. To Miss Mitchell we bequeath all of the instruments of torture belonging to school work that she may justly pass on to the other classes.
