Wilkinsburg High School - Annual Yearbook (Wilkinsburg, PA)

Page 9 text:

The 1948 Annual is dedicated to the unchanging spirit of our chapel. lt is the hope of the staff, and thus of the senior class represented by them, that we will always maintain the close feeling we now hold for our chapel hour. We know too well as we don our caps and gowns this spring that we can never again be a vital part of that team on the hill, the dead- line rush for the printer, the choir's morning response, or that memorable English class. But We can always return to chapel and there in the still quietness relive glowing memories of our high school days. Therefore we dedicate our memory book to that indefinable spirit of mwel- come home that chapel will af- ford as we return alumni of Wilkinsburg High School. OUR CHAPEL There comes a time in each one's busy day When worldly thoughts and troubles take a leave: Glad hearts are lifted upward then to pray For greater things that each one would achieve. We hear the gavel's tap for quietness, The guiding words of life from Gods own Book, And pray the Lord that he will all us bless. The chapel choir sends forth its glad Amen, All voices lifted heavenward in praise And adoration to our Lord again: We pray for strength to last us all our days: When Time has closed her treasure chest of yore, These memories will linger evermore.
