Senior Class Poem There is always a time for greeting, Also a time for good-bye, But there ' s no end to our friendship That we ' ve gained at Benson High. We ' ve been such good playfellows From the very start ; We ' ve always been together, And now we hate to part. No matter how far we wander Nor how desolate the place may be, We ' ll always think of each other And long for each face to see. All through the years we ' ve prospered Up to the present date, And forever it will remain so Unless we meet some fate. The sky is ever our limit And our director is the star. You know success will find you, No matter where you are. We ' ve turned out no great poets As Longfellow, Shakespeare, or Poe, No inventors, presidents, or explorers, But it ' s not too late, you know. While we travel on and upward, As we intend to do, We ' ll always stick to our motto, The higher we rise, the broader view. There ' s been no task beyond us Nor problem we couldn ' t solve in end. And the cooperation of our teachers Showed us that each was our friend They ' ve been our gu iding light, Our model and our star, And they ' ll remain the very same No matter where we are. We don ' t exclude our parents, For it would be unjust; It is to them we take our troubles, And in them we put our trust. We all know that they love us, To sacrifice as they do ; So here we pay tribute — Parents, we love you, too. It ' s the end, my friend, the very end Of our meetings at Benson High, And when the time comes for parting We leave here with a sigh. When we get tired and weary, As I am sure we ' ll do. That fatigue will vanish quickly When we think, B.H.S., of you. Elsie Grimes. [16]
