CLASS SONG Con the tune of September Songl By Willie Chambers Oh, these few pleasant days We have left to go, These wonderful days We'll see no more. Oh, the days are growing near We must have no fears, For the time is here We must shed our tears. We hope you'll be by ourside As we follow your guide, We love you Oh, South Girard! We hate to leave you But we really must see it through, Oh, South Girardl We will never part. Oh, these few pleasant days We have left to go, These wonderful days We'll see no more. CLASS POEM By Claudette Coar The End We have walked this hall for nine long months But of course we have studied some too. Now the end of those months has come, And our walking and studying are through. At times the way seemed very hard, ln some of the thnigs we tried to do, But being a class with a fighting heart, We always made it through! There were moments of discouragement, And we thought of turning back But knowing the end would soon be here, We continued on victory's track. When we think about those days that have passed When it seemed our work was never done, We smiled with a sigh, for we knew That the best days were swiftly passing us by.
