 Words of Our Poet CLASS POEM Our high school days we are leaving behind But there are many things that will remind Remind us of our dear old Greenville High 'Neath a western Michigan sunlit sky. We cannot forget the times we have had Both those that were good, and those that were bad For it's those memories that we hold dear Plus the very thoughts of our leaving here, That brings many a tear into our eyes As we look around and try to surmise What the future holds for a graduate. But it seems so hard to anticipate. We have come to school three seasons each year We've seen the leaves, grass, and snow disappear But none of these can really touch one's heart Compared to our havina to depart From Greenville High School and all that in it In whose midst we've enjoyed each minute. We'll miss the assembly before each game Though our spirit will always be the same We'll miss the sessions where we had to go, To study and not paper wads to throw. We will miss them all, but we cannot stay The time has come, now we must go our way. So we will scry adieu to Greenville High Though we are leaving you, it's not goodbye For as we step out in this world so wide Where we will take our places side by side With the rest of mankind in that large school Where live and learn is the eternal rule We'll remember our days in Greenville High And will hold them more dear as time flies by. —Joe Sage 17
