ODE TO THE CLASS OF 1937 Shirley Thompson Our high school days, oh days so fleet, Are passed, and we with sturdier feet IVIust face the world to sail life’s sea. Must smile away adversity. There rings a call, we can not sta} . For Youth must? Fate, her will obey. We leave thee now, but not for long, And with you always is our song — Where’er we are, whate’er we be. Dear Braintree High, we’ll think of thee. We know not what may lie ahead. But may God keep us as we tread Away from guiding hands, from you, Oh Varsity, and friends .so true; Through days when trouble shall arise, Through days when all is sunny skies.
