Near the end of our high school term We marched along with gait so firm Down the aisles of our splendid hall To answer with pride our Class Day call. Commencement week brimmed over with thrillsg We alternated between fever and chills. The first event was quick to arrive- Rome was liberated on June 5. One day later the allied advance Was launched upon poor fateful France. We sat in the hall, and all did pray That victory at last might be on its way. On the seventh of June in forty-four, We left the Burke forevermore. We received our diplomas in Symphony Hall, Where, dressed in white, we Walked so tall. Each girl hoping for a future bright, Her education, a guiding light. At last the final Prom was here, Our Crystal Ball, the last of the year. Cinderella, gay, disarming, Joined hands with stalwart suave Prince Charming. Away each danced with her chosen beau To strains of music soft and low. Midnight's gentle, appealing chime Struck, we parted for a time. Farewell, we say to friends most dear Wishing success in their chosen career. Toward college or business we go on our way With hopeful hearts and feelings gay.
