EPIC POEM
By Dale Hamilton ‘58
“Victory will be for Bay”…Kitz, The Egg and Cy…
we cheered the Mighty Rockets…and helped them fly so high.
Quayle and Clark and Voiers, too…taught us to be men…
Rainbow girls in taffeta…were so beautiful back then.
Marvel Sebert and “I like Ike”…Mrs. Bedford’s seventh grade…
awful gym suits for the girls…setting pins at the Bay Arcade.
Dover…Wolf…Columbia…roads called Bradley and Lake…
football practice on Cahoon…Home Ec taught girls to bake.
A buck would almost fill your tank…at Ernie Olchon’s Gas…
and Roy and Gene at the Beachcliff…was a 9¢ Saturday pass.
We waltzed with Mrs. Pettingale…we sang with Mr. Crews…
we read and wrote with Shelton…and we walked in saddle shoes.
A tardy slip from Mr. D …Stubby’s doubtful stare…
a paddle pass to walk the halls…was a key to anywhere.
Klimko versus Turrittin…Maxine’s Latin verbs…
Lovella John’s biology…and cans of beer from Serb’s.
Who remembers Papa Joe ?…did they ever find Beverly Potts ?
Rosie’s Pizza Friday nights…and Torchy Blair was hot.
Avellone’s cherry cokes…Bayway Sock Hops slow & dark…
sunburned backs at Huntington…and tennis in the park.
Our hearts were shocked by Doctor Sam…who tore the curtain down…
to show the darkside of the world…in our tranquil little town.
And so we headed out alone…the only way we knew to go…
to smell the fragrances of time…you give and then you grow.
But now we’ve tread life’s chosen path…a trail so faintly blazed…
we owe a debt to days gone by…time’s swift passage has amazed.
Parkview School, now, forever gone… but she lingers in our minds…
of how we lived and loved and learned…a tie that surely binds.
And so we gather here tonight…in ageing dignity…
close your eyes and see your friends…just the way they used to be.
You see, time steals them from your mind…but never from your heart…
we’re all together once again…in the place we got our start.
To this Village on Lake Erie…we’ve come to celebrate…
so, let’s raise a glass…to our fine class…of 1958 !
