ahr Smimrramj Q ------‘mt-r--------- --------—op tEltr iFiual (final By FRANCES WISE Through all these years we’ve followed paths of learning, To train our minds, our bodies, and our souls, And earnestly our hearts were ever yearning Toward Graduation Day, to us the final goal. At last has come this day of great achievement. One course is ended but we must begin anew, For with our saddened partings and bereavement Ideals of new endeavor come to view. Avon High has given us her blessing. Her word and seal are fixed upon our minds; She gives us light and power for new progressing, She leads us on, a worthy task to find. And though our work in other fields we follow, And feet and thought may go in other ways, Our hearts shall fly, as homeward flies the swallow, Back to the joys of dear old High School days. Q i 16
