5. enior Class Poem Clas smates, Goodbye! School Pals, Adieu! Farewell is linked with pain; The suns will rise, and days be blue, Before we meet again ! Out on Life ' s wild and restless sea, Without our teachers ' aid, We ' ll face it all quite cheerily, And will not be afraid. We want to thank our faculty, Who have given love and care Without complaint to you and me, And they were always fair. So here ' s three cheers for A. H. S. To teachers, pals, and friends, The Valley ' s finest, I confess, So now our good time ends. — Eunice Eva
