Class Song Regretfully we say good-bye On this commencement day. Though “Here endeth; Here beginneth.’’ We’ll miss our school life gay. So onward, sons of Agawam, Bear forth unto the shrine The torch that stands for high ideals For all of Thirty-Nine. Most happy hours and joyous days In Agawam we’ve seen. And we have found In things renowned Our school stands far supreme. So bear ye forth the torch once more And ra:se it to the sky And pledge again true loyalty To this. Our Ag’wsm High. Words: Evelyn Gardner Music: Norma Colli Class Poem EXCELSIOR We scaled and climbed, And still we climb. The course emerging high Into the jagged massive cliff's That blur the flaming sky. Lightly we sweep From steep To steep; The flag of youth we fly. We tramp and trail Where hills uplift; The winds are wild and strong, And dreary days of drizzling rain Are like some phantom song. But our pathway gleams With glints Of dreams; Our faith cannot be wrong. We scaled and climbed And still we climb Some lofty mountain slope. Through storm and stress and bitterness Our upward way we grope To view the past And claim The vast Tomorrow with our hope! Irene Ann Mulak
