THE TORCH CLASS SONG QTune: Gold Mine in the Skyh There's a school called Acton High across the way Where we went, you and I, every day, There we shared together troubles and our joys, And we tried to be successful girls and boys. Now the time has come when we must graduate And go out into the world to meet our fate, For we know that we must go into the world And apply all the skills that we have learned. We are sorry we must leave this joyful place And not see every teacher's smiling face, So we say goodbye to friends who stay behind As we leave this dear old school of Acton High. So goodbye, so goodbye, Acton High. A. GRALA, '38 CLASS POEM We have dreamed of this day That seemed so remote And we hoped it would come e'er long But now that day--with its glory-has come And the thrill and the joy have gone. The joys of our school We will never forget They will dwell in our memories long And the scenes that we leave with a sigh of regret, With the classes to come-will go on. We've been guided so far By our emblem-the torch Never strayed from the motto I'll try. And as we travel the long path of life We'1l continue to hold that torch high! Protected with Knowledge, Wit, and Good Cheer We will leave Acton High School today But extend as we go out last word of thanks To those who helped us win Qu! way, E. LEVERONI, '38
