Together, as children, we loved, laughed, and learned. Only memory remains of a childhood ne'er to be returned. Forget you, dear parents, no never shall we A light to our paths you've proven to be. With love you have taught us to know right from wrong, We'll cherish you dearly tho' great be our throng. Both teachers and principal to us remain a treasure, Thru' work, thru' play, they've made education a pleasure. By friends and loved ones we've been upheld, Strengthened, encouraged, 'til each heart with gratefulness swelled. Now the doors of a future unknown swing wide, We stand confronted by decisions, now ours to decide. The way will lie open and as we strive to reach each goal, If wemakeGod our leader, life will profit every soul. - Patricia Hockaday Hlass History In the year of 1942, a large group frightened-jand snaggleftoothed yo un g s t e r s entered the first grade.
