Class jlmtg IN PARTING Tune — “I Love You Truly” I Goodbye, dear High School, goodbye to thee. We’re going to leave thee presently, Sad in the parting but Progress calls So we must leave thy friendly halls. II If in the future we meet dismay, In our memory where it will stay A vision taught us of what was right Will keep us free from any sad plight. III Proud Franklin High School, thy firm acclaim Will always spur us with urgent flame Ever to be a credit to thee So that thou’lt keep us in memory. IV Now, fellow classmates, as we depart Out on Life’s Highway to make our start, Let us remember the fond golden years That will bring smiles to quell our fears. V Someday in future may we return do thee with honors which we will earn do add to thy bright glistening name Prestige and glory and stalwart fame. ROBERT LLOYD CUMMINGS Thirty

Class Poem L’ENVOIE Farewell, ye pleasant pastures, and farewell, Ye sheltered fields and calm, untroubled hills; No more we wake in light of morning sun, Soothed by the gentle breeze and winding rills. No more the shepherd’s reed shall call us forth, Laughing and happy, from the evening’s rest; No longer may we gambol on the green; No more by careless peace shall we be blest. The wide world calls, the vast unchartered deeps Beckon, and we must leave the placid fold; Forth we must fare upon the ocean’s crest, To sail for newer lands, for deeds untold. Sadly we go, yet eager for the test, Our eyes ahead, we search expectantly For islands fair, forgetful of the reefs That lie beneath the surface of the sea. Once more, ye pleasant pastures, fare ye well. With tear-filled eyes we bid ye fond adieu; And oft on stormy waves, our hearts will turn Back to these joyful hours ’neath skies of blue.
