The Senior Class has, I hope, tried to do its duty as it understood
it. Pray, credit us, with good intentions, anyway.
I will leave to the historian the chronicle of our accomplishments
and only say that our High School life, for which we thank the
taxpayers, has seemed short. It is hard to make an end, but, classmates, as we must :
Here’s to our happy years together,
Our hopes and limitations,
Our failures, prayers,
Our dreams and aspirations.
DOES IT? IS IT?
It always has been a puzzle to me
What sailors sow when they plough the sea.
Does coffee go with the roll of a drum ?
And why is a speaking likeness dumb ?
What was it that made the window blind ?
Whose picture is put in a frame of mind ?
When a storm is brewing, what does it brew ?
Does the foot of a mountain wear a shoe?
Can a drink be got from a tap on the door ¢
Does the edge of the water cut the shore ?
How long does it take to hatch a plot ¢
Has a school of herring a tutor or not ¢
Who is it that fixes the teeth of the gale?
To a king who reigns why shout, *‘O, hail ”
And say—l’ll admit this is quite absurd—
When you drop a remark, do you break your word ?
Can a rope be made out of ocean strands ?
Have the silent midnight watches hands ?
Can you cut a log with a wise old saw?
Does the cup that cheers cry, ‘‘Hip? Hurrah !’’?
Can money be tight when change is loore?
Now what, ye wiseacres, what is the use
Of going through college and taking degrees
When we're posed by such plain little problems as these ¢
