You ask me for memories of Wyandotte I remember my very 1u,c u"-y, The old School that is no more? How big and long were the halls! Yes, I could tell to you a lot And how little J round to say, Of Wyandotte and its lore. How close and comining the walls.
Yet why should we dwell on the past Then as confidence came ad grew And grieve over ashes and dust? And I felt that I was at home, The future is what counts at last I learned and was no longer new And face it we can, and must. And I felt no wish to roam.
Yet, it might be well to remember In football, I made my letter A few of the days of old, And I have known the thrill, And the golden ones to number Of knowing that we were better Making sure that the tale is told. Than those who matched our skill.
Its days date back, before my time, My days at Wyandotte, are over But I must begin with myself And the dear old days are done, For all that goes into this rhyme, Yet I shall always love Her And leave old days on the shelf. And remember days that are gone.
I've gone to school all my life So farewell, the School I knew, Right here in this very town And hail to the one to be, Up through fun and strife, And may her students new 'Til I'm ready for cap and gown. Keep Her spirit grand and free!
Wyandotte A Tribute It was more than a massive building A tribute to Old Wyandotte? Of mortar, brick and stone, Yes. the best that I can give. More than hallways and classrooms Where often we did roam, Your frame 'tis true, may be forgot, There was something about that building But your fame shall always live Down on the Ninth street block, Something about the library, halls, The old hall clock, the trophy case, And yes, the old school clock- They knew what we had gained That bring back treasured memories Though ourselves from them are severed, They bring us mem'ries of that place Those hours of joy and gladness Where once the Bulldogs reigned. Will live in hearts forever. -Alice Simmons - -Jae� Arthm K.C.K. P L A y 'The QUIVER/ANfor 1934 1 To\,Ver Builders An Editorial by Uma Waite
