To the highest peak of success. We have all the past to guide us In all there is something driving, If we wisely apply what it taught, Spurring us on to our goal: For nothing dwells in the rnind of man But every single achievement Unless an effect is wrought. Is demanding a certain toll. So we part from our school days hoping That life in the future for all Will be the joy, the spirit, and learning That has been our high school call. -By Marilynn Whitmer
