Memories of Cloquet High

By Horace Caulk

When we went to the Sr. High,
many kids would just get by.

But those who gave it the college try,
with modular scheduling could really fly.

Some of the teachers were quite a trip
causing many fingered birds to flip.

And occasionally one would cuss,
when they found the teacher's name was Gus.

Normally we all just hopest,
that we'd have a class with Billy Obst.

He taught "Poetry in Sight and Sound",
to every pothead for miles around.

In history we had Big Bad Bill,
many self esteems he tried to kill.

And Kluny just had no endurance,
so he quit teaching and sold insurance.

Some romances in school just appalled me,
like the one with Hummel and Bartholdi.

Another one was Trolander and Skull,
that one just appalled us all.

In gym class we were stuck with Rollie,
Who was never known to be too jolly,

And no one wanted to be left alone at,
any classes taught by Monette.

But any bad thing we could say,
we wouldn't have had it any other way.

We are what we are today,
because of our roots in good 'ole Cloquet.
