THE 1928 PIONEER Our high school days have come and gone; The years have fast passed by; It seems but just a day or two Since we were Freshies shy. For four short years we worked and played, With happiness and tears: But now we must prepare to face T he trials of coming years. Now, dear classmates of ’Twenty-eight, The time has come to part; With sadness we must say good-bye, For parting breaks in our hearts. When we think back to ' Twenty-four, When we entered this school so dear, It makes us want to live again Those days of each school year. Sweet memories shall never fade, From this fair school and true, For we shall always hold most dear The days we spent with you. Now let us all go up and on With all our might and vim; Determination is all we need In this old world to win. So farewell teachers, friends and school, We say our last adieu; In all the future years we pledge To you we will be true. Crealie Steele, Poet . Page Nineteen
