Each year has been a different road, each task a hill to climb. The freshman road was very new and paved with bewilderment, We laughed and sang, and suddenly, the first year had been spent. Next, we traveled the sophomore road, where the flowers of knowledge grew, Sometimes we left our merry way to look and pick a few. As down the junior road we went, so carefree, happy and gay, We studied some, played much more, and left work for another day. Now we're seniors on the roads once long, but now so short instead, We've passed the half-way mark, and look, the road is forked ahead. There we see the highway signs pointing like fingers of fate, And each must ask himself this question, which road shall l take? Day by day and step by step, our high school roads are ending, And as we leave these treasured streets, this mes- sage we are sending: Dear School, There's none can take your place, For you leave a memory that time cannot erase.
