CLASS SONG lTune of Exodus? By Larry Miles 8- Curtisteen Walker Dear South Girard the time is here to part through years that we have shared with you. We loved you true and dear-time passed so swift-ly have seems as tho we only started yesterday. So as the doors of high school close with us we'll hold thy name up with praise, tho we are leav-ing you, you'll still be by our side, with the help of God l know that you'll be strong. Thy halls we walked in-stilled our hearts with light, your campus filled our hearts with love. The Ma-ny sorrow time re-veal our strife and pain, Then we saw a love that we must hold for thee. So take our hands-and walk this land with us and give us courage to move on, to high-er claims of tame, that we might hail thy name, glo-ry be thy happy moment lies a-head. To make you proud ot us-we'll do our best io keep thy name with love and praise-until the end we'll love you true. CLASS POEM By: Geraldine Chambers We the members of the senior class, must think of our future and not our past - We are on our way to a new starting indeed, it is time tor our departing. For many of us there will be sorrow, and for others, there will be a better tomorrow - The juniors are happy and glad But as we leave, our hearts are sad. Some of us have a future to obtain which will call for many heartaches and pains It is left to us to do our best and try to pass our future test.

After working so hard we were at last Seniors. Each of us had that dignified expression, and we felt that we were ready to confront the challenge of the world. Our sponsors were Mr. R. Lowe and Lester Mason. Tom Harris was still our president, Those of us who had started out as mere members of the campus activities were now the leaders. Our football and basketball teams were Great Stuff , with such players as Frank Bellamy, Tom Harris, William Daniel, Albert Lee, Sam Bellamy, Larry Miles, Edgar Jackson, George Stickney, Anderson Mack, and James Adams. Curtisteen Walker, Daisy Benton still with the cheering squad with Curtisteen Walker the Captain. Bobbie Williams, Carrie Stafford, Helen Black, Margaret Gosha, Mary Epps and Joann Lewis were Majorettes: Winston Goggins Drum Major and Edna Cannon still halftime announcer. Edna Cannon was crowned Miss Blue Streak with Catherine Phillips and Gloria Ezekiel attendants. Carrie Stafford was elected Miss Sweetheart and lda Griggs won the title of Miss Senior . Leon Todd and Geraldine Chambers represented us in the l962 Jabber- wock, and Edna Cannon won second place in the Second Annual Oratorical contest. Some of us were still outstanding members of the band. As the time takes its tolls we retrospect over the four years we have been striving. We started out as a great and large class, we have lost some and gained some. We have now made history. Years will come and years will go, but we will forever be remembered as That Great Class of l962 . Beginning our junior year, Tom Harris, became our president. Our sponsors were Mr, R. Lowe, Mr. L. Mason and Mr. Leo Harrison. We were proud of ourselves when Bobbie Williams became first attendant to Miss Blue Streak.
