THE TORCH ift m . Wl When we come to leave dear A. H. S. With her friends and comrades true: We realize more how much we love The Orange and the Blue. But we, the class of '40. Must now bid you farewell. How much this school has meant to us We ne’er can truly tell. We wish to thank our teachers Who have helped us to climb Ever higher to our goals. And new adventures find. We used to think that we d be glad When High School days were done; But now we find that life's great race Has only just begun. We can't retrace our steps at all, Nor would we if we could; But we shall strive to keep the faith, And always seek the truth. CLASS POEM 0 To know the truth and do our best Will be our higest aim; We ll make our class motto, 'Build For character, not for fame.” While here, we’ve learned a lesson great, That books can never teach, And that's to love the things that seem To stay beyond our reach. We cannot stop just where we are, And be self-satisfied; But climb the next hill just in view And will be glad we tried. To reach what at one time did seem To be an impossible goal; For nothing's too great but can be reached By the deepest and truest soul. We love our Alma Mater, Well hold her standards high; And for the Orange and the Blue We'd even dare to die! —ELEANOR GAY Twenty
