SCHOOL MEMORIES We Parents, Teachers, Classmates, Friends Again another school year ends; Again a senior class is here Happy that graduation is near. We're proud to be before you tonight Knowing that we’ve won our fight; That now we may receive the reward For these years we’ve worked so hard. Yet work alore was not our share, Many days were free from care; Many happy hours our class Has spent in sports so soon to pass. Classmates, I will miss you all-— Our high school days beyond re:all. V’ll miss Ira Watson, our class p-esiden ; Tl miss athletic Eileen Brent. A pal like G. D.’s hard to find, And one like Owen of so bright a mind, And where can we find another Listoe, Our popular, handsome, attractive class beau? I'll miss our good sport, Jimmy May, And Reva with her winning way; Then there’s Janie, our senior tease, Kathleen, Mary and Louise. Pll miss sweet June, our high school queen, Jane, Virginia, and Geraldine. In fact, when all is said and done, I'll miss each and every one. And now that the time has come to part, I would like to tell of a song in my heart. It’s one that I’ve carried with me always It sings of the lovely surroundings here, Of the beauties that all of us hold dear; It tells of the love that we all share Throughout the period of my high school days. Of our privilege beyond compare. How we’ve watched from our class room windows A scene silhouetted in blue, Of the sharp pointed Peaks of Otter ’Gainst skies of lighter hue. While majestically rolling behind it Old Flat Top comes into view, Apple Orchard and White Top arising With beauties ever anew. There are trails leading over these mountains That we’ve tramped through many a day; There are springs crystal clear in these mountains Where oft our thirst we'd stay. There are fresh rippling streams winding downward Where we’ve fished the long hours away; There are green shaded groves in these mountains Where we’ve held our picnics gay. And sometimes I have paused in my studies As I looked out with a sigh; For I knew Id soon be leaving Other paths before me might lie. Yet I know that lovelier scenery Will never meet my eye, Than the scene from my class room windows Right here at Bedford Hi. WILLIAM ANDERSON, Class Poet.
