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.
