 THE BOOMERANG ------------- HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES Still within our memory lingers Pictures of our High School days. Of our joys and greatest pleasures Lighted by the brightest rays Of a sun ne’er last in setting— Hope eternal of the soul; Pictures of our studious classmates Working and striving for the goal. There are those who shirk and dally; There are those who love to play; There are those who work with pleasure; And they do it day by day. Some there are who like their teachers. Some who think them just a bore; They know all that do the teachers And, they think, a great deal more. Oft’ they think of former school days. When each was a little tot. Of all the good old entertainments And the pieces they forgot. And the memories of their school days Are graven in old green and white. And they cherish many friendships That will all he strong and bright. Then remember, friends, remember. As we go in separate ways, That the future years will gladden Memories of our High School days.
