Senior Class Officers HOWARD SHANNON NAOMI KNOPF President Secretary HERMENIA HIGGINS GARTH SWIGERT Vice President Treasurer The Retrospect Senior Class Poem There’s a long, long trail awinding— Down thro’ P. A. Allen High, We enter it with laughter. Blit we leave it with a sigh. Yon have come to the end of the trail. My friend. You have journeyed in all kinds of weather. I wonder if you’ll be remembering The days we have all been together Pour years of intimate school life; Four years of joy and pleasure; I wonder if you’ll be remembering And count them a most priceless treasure. There were detours along the way My friend— Stop signs, and warnings of Danger — I know you’ll be watchful — When, you journey on roads that are stranger. There were days full of rollicking fun, and say — There were—too — some days of repining. But you’ll not forget, you’ll just bear in mind. Every cloud has its own silver lining. On the trail thro’ P. A. Allen High, my friend. You found friends who will always be true. I know that you’ll be remembering, and, in turn. They’ll be thinking of you. (Page Twenty-eight)
