947 Le Overflow CLASS OF 47 We have known each other for years — Since we started in the very first grade — lust tiny little tots we were then With twelve full grades to be made. We ' ve loved each other with warm hearts Since that glorious first day at school. We learned our reading, ' riting, and ' rithmetic, And, of course, the golden rule. The golden rule we have followed From beginning to the end. Cooperation came from every one With each new task we took in. Our days of parting will soon be here, And we will be saying goodbye To the classmates whom we have loved In the days already gone by. As we go out into the world alone Each traveling his own way May God watch over us seniors And keep us from going astray. GAYNELLE STANLEY, Class Poet CLASS WILL STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF DUPLIN. We, the 1947 Seniors of B. F.

ARTICLE I Section 1. To B. F. Grady School — the best high school in the State — we leave our thanks for the training that we have received here and for a hoard of highly- cherished memories.
