REMEMBER Soon we leave your doors forever, Never to return again, Dear old High School, please remember, As we remember o'er life's trend. T'was within your walls, our dreaming Of the future bright and great. Never, ever, were we scheming 'Gainst the friends within vour gate. We have almost reached a mile-stone, But here is hoping on we go— Not around the world to roam, But to reap the Future which we sow. O! but always we'll remember, No matter whence our missions are, The happy days our life here rendered— Our thoughts return, if near or far. Caryl Witter Diligence ts the mother of $pod luck.
