Through AR is Y ears In the shadow of the mountains, Neath a sky of blue, Stands a school dear to our hearts— With memories old and new. Long ago, to be exact, With minds aspiring to the goals In nineteen forty-two, Of this eventful year, We were standing on the threshhold— We would have faltered but for help Freshmen, dazed and blue. That banished doubt and fear. Next year we faced the newer tasks In that our second term; And all ambitions crystalized In one desire—to learn. Two years had passed, ne’er to return, These gifts sublime are ever ours, How sad such things should be; Let’s keep them everyone, But they bore a wealth of treasured gifts And be grateful to these years just passed For my classmates and me. For friends and wisdom won. Looking o’er these two short years We filled with work and dreams— They seemed so long, and were so short— A paradox, it seems. Let’s leave this thought, ’tis too complex, How beautiful the friendships made And turn to things anew; In every passing day, Remember it’s our Junior year— How inspiring the classes seemed There’s worlds of things to do. With wisdom, work and play. We are thankful for each passing hour Of classwork and of fun, We are thankful but regret to say Three-fourths our task is done. Long last the year of years has come, Four terms we’ve been together now, It’s Senior door ajar, But soon our paths must part; We enter with our hearts aglow Let’s not forget these wondrous years, To emerge a shining star. But keep them in our heart. So on our way o’er land and sea In the great unknown— Fearless and free, and one with God, Thus never quite alone. Trupié Evans, Class Poet. 110}
