PAT GIDDENS, CLASS POET LLASS l'0EllI The time is drawing near When we must say good-by To all the things we've learned to love Here in Parrish High, The cheering crowds at football games, The band a marching by, All the friends we've called by name, Must it end with a fond goodeby? Detention hall after school For talking in your class, Memories of these foolish Things Will never seem to pass, The thrill of your first big high school dance And that date that you'ye dreamed aboutg One fleeting glance will tell us That our time is running out. Although we may go wide or far, We know that in our hearts Memories of these happy days Will be our guiding star. Page ll7
