CLASS POEM . . OUR DEBUT . . Greetings, world, here we are at last, The Class of '44 is knocking at your gate, as in the past Many others have gained admittance to your glorious mysteries; We have attained the ultimate, for now we hold the golden keys. We unlock one door, dear world; war shatters all our dreams. You seem composed of blood and sweat and tyrants' prognostic schemes. We observe not calm and peacefulness nor even tranquil life; All we behold is a weary world, torn and broken with chaos and strife. Your second door is trimmed with sunbeams sparkling bright. As the door swings open we are blinded by a shining light. It glows and covers all the world, infusing it with brotherly love, And lo . . there infinitely supreme . . reigns the Cross of God, above. We realize what is before us, the tears and trials we face. But we will triumph over all with God's will and heavenly grace. We'll rid ourselves of aggressors; keep faith with those who died, Then establish a shiny virgin world, on which we can look with pride. Eileen Conley. Class Flower—Red rose. Class Colors—Silver and green. Class Motto—We strive for greater heights.
