It seems no one has left his school before. Now that we are seniors. Others have gone out into the world, and to us are only a memory, Now that we are seniors. We wonder if after we have gone that's the way it will be, Now that we are seniors. No more bumpy school bus rides so early in the morning, When we graduate. No more teachers giving tests without a bit of warning, When we graduate. But it also means an end to things we have found fun, When we graduate. It seems our school days are over and they're only just begun, When we graduate. What does the future hold for us? Will it be more than the past? can answer that. accomplish as the years go by so fast? can answer that. our health and happiness with us l0 years from now? can answer that. Only time What will we Only time Will we have Only time Can anyone tell us what to do and when and why and how? .... Only time can answer that. And so, as we sit back to wait for time to roll on by, We'll think of dear old Ayersville. And when sorrow and troubles come to make us sigh, ill if Most Athletic M a r y Ann and We'll think of dear old Ayersville. LHVOU In the future as we meet what life has in store, We'll think of dear old Ayersville. As we grow older and until our lives are o'er, We'll remember dear old Ayersville.
