IILHSS PUEHI TODAY WE FOLLOW, TOMORROW WE LEAD Shirley Schaefer Our high school days draw to a close, The future beckons bright, In dreams, we conquer all our foes, And sever wrong from right. Our spirits have been high and low From joy and sorrow shared, All through the coming years, we'll know The thrill of struggles dared. We leave our many friends behind, Forsake the life we've known, To learn another untried kind From those who have been shown. We hope that in the years to come, Our places will be filled By others who will gain the fun From hope and dreams they build. We bid farewell to Beecher now, And claim the facts we needy Prove to the world our promised vow-- Today We follow, tomorrow we lead.
