DAROLD DUNLAVY Poet CLASS POEM We, the class of fifty-nine, Approach graduation as onward we climb, We've mixed our work and play, And hope from our duties we did not stray. We'll bid adieu to friends and teachers, And close high school books for more advanced tea Our high school days have passed by so fast, And now we leave those experiences in the past. This, our final year at Parrish High, Was marked by the first satellite to enter the sky. Our fine new gym was first put to use, And the return of the sack dress really cut loose. We shall never forget Ulla, the exchange student fr o Who enlightened our school year like a shining star. Of our many memories these are just a few, That in the future, we could but hope to renew. We aim to leave footprints of good repute, For all those lett to follow suit, And as we leave our Parrish High, We predict her colors will always fly. Page 154 tures. m afar
