CLASS MOTTO CLASS FLOWER We finish to begin. CLASS COLORS Pink Blue Carnation an C ASS P0 EM We leave this great institution of learning, Though we will always have a yearning. Through countless days we have toiled with endless pace, In order that we may stay ahead in this great race. Day by day, night by night We've always kept our goal in sight. We have now learned that life is but a game, Where you have to work hard in order to obtain fame. Our memories of these last days will be great, For in our future they will determine our fate. From Dear Ole Booker T., we've gathered a wealth of knowledge Something we won't regret if we don't go to college. W. Maurice Biggs, Jr. CLASS SUNG Dear Booker T., we're leaving now, It hurts us deep to go somehow, Our graduation day is here, But in our hearts we'l1 keep you dear, So comes the time for us to part Although you'll never leave our hearts. For as we say good-bye to thee, Our love won't die, dear Booker T., Though we shall travel separate ways, We can't forget our high school days, Our love for you will never die, God bless you as we say good-bye. Jacquelyn F. Chapman I9 Pink
