Our voices no longer fill the halls, Old' haunts no longer hold familiar faces. New seniors rise within the walls: This year's juniors will take our places. We have started here our education: Our Alma Mater now we leave behind. We are the foundation of tomorrow's nation What the future holds, soon we will Hnd. We're ready now, the storms of life to face: We may stumble, but we'll never fall: With our courage, and by God's grace, We, the seniors of '48, will win over all. ' MARY LEE SHAW.
