Dear Lester,

I thought and thought,

And thought in vain,

And thought at last

I would sign my name.

Your friend

Dear Lester,

As I’m a freshmen green as grass.

Forgive all mistakes and the past

And let our friendship always last.

Don’t forget the old rugged cross.

Dear Lester,

You have friends,

Perhaps lovers—

To give them room

I’ll write on the cover.

When the golden sun is sinking

And the path no more you trod

May your name be written

On the autograph of God.

Your friend,

Winifred Weaver

Dear Lester
Tomorrow’s wishes never come.
Today’s wishes may be only one.
But let me wish you success in the
Many days that are to follow in the
Coming years.

You can fall from a tree

You can fall from above

But for heaven’s sakes

Don’t fall in love.

On this page so pure & white,

To your request these lines I write,

That you may read, some future day,

Perhaps when I am far away—ha! ha!

Friend Lester,

Down in the meadow

On it is written

Forget-me-not.

I have enjoyed our classes and friendship

During the days at D.R. H.S.

I wish you plenty of success through life.

But last to be forgot.

If you could look into my heart

And see the love that’s there,

Then turn it into money

You would be a millionaire.

When you get married

And live across the river

I’ll kill my dogs

And send you the liver.

I wish you much success and happiness in your future life,

And I also wish you a cute little wife and cute kids.

Are a good student.

Remember the good old D.R.H.S.

Dear Lester,

I will write on pink

Because I can’t think

How to tell you

To be blue.

Remember the senior play.

Remember the day Prof was gone.

Down by the river there is a rock

And on it is written for-get-me-not.

I write in green because it is my color.

When the golden sun is sinking,

And this path no more you trod,

May your name in gold be written

In the autograph of God.

Dear Lester—
You took me by surprise as I guess the
Only thing I really have to say is that I wish you
Success all through life in whatever you undertake
To do.
Remember the constitution and Sociology
Classes we have gone through.
Oh! Yes. Don’t forget all our spats we
Have had. Though they were few & far between.
