Farewell The time has llecl since first we met you Dear Old Christian High. Our luture stretched before us, our hopes were in the slcy. We were not loolcing lar ahead, our thoughts were all in fun, And happily we'd leave the school as each new day was done. But now we're not so carefree, for we see not lar ahead. The day when we'll he leaving you for a career instead. We can't believe that one time we had loolced ahead with glee, For that day we'd always yearned for, the day when we'd he free. Yes, free from where we'd started life. where loyal friends were found, Where we learned what was meant hy strife, and that the world was Free from parties and haslcethall games, free from fun and laughter. Free from many things that we won't find in life hereafter. But now as graduation nears. we try to shrinlc away. For we realize only sadness will he with us on that day. Yes. we'll he free, hut only from the things we've learned to love, And now Our happiness can Colne frorn only God ahove. But we've acquired lcnowledge, and we now must lace the world, Tl1Ht'S heen soiled hy a force which constantly is being hurled, At our country. and at others, and people everywhere. And we're the ones to stop it-before it settles here. So you see, dear Alma Mater. we've a struggle on our hands, If we're to lceep our country unlilce ulron Curtain lands.

CLASS 1P ROPHlECCY t ing on the common, so we could piclc up a hulletin for the coming weelcs at Park Street. Glancing through it, we found Howard McLaughlin was completing a weelc oi services there, and Bette Foley, missionary to Latin America, was to he guest spealcer the following Sunday night. We decided to talce a jaunt up to Judy Daman Ryder's Boolc Shop. Several of our classmates have achieved honor as authors. Among them is none other than that spelling demon, Clyde Rodgers. His hoolc Detention is Funn is quite a seller with the high-schoolers. Also popu- lar with juveniles is Dr. Eric Ander- son's HVVhat in the Vvorldffn, de- scrihing how to carve pencils artisti- cally during dull classes. Just off the press is George Canteloys promi- sing hoolc, Principles of Punctu- alityu, illustrated hy Charlie Mac- Farlane. We hopped hack into our slcy ship to continue the journey. I was amazed to learn that Fred Christen- sen was a dentist in a coolcie factory. It seems he puts in the fillings. Out in the residential district, we saw Ann Fitzgerald Slclnner and Charlottee Augusta Bethel chewing the rag over the haclc fence. Meow! Soon we spotted the new Hopeless Hospital, erected in the Blue Hills, where some familiar names are on the staff. Barhara Small Rodgers and the former Devvy Lovelady do their share in hindering the patients' recovery. Doctor Rohert Docherty fDoc uDoc l is head of the mad scientific research lahoratory. Right now he is at home recovering from a concoction of the hrain. Realizing that our ship was pre- paring for its final landing.
