Stt iMmoriam Euline Thomason Born — April 2, 1925 Died — December 25, 1940 LOOK FORWARD CLASS OF ' 42 Look forward, ever! Oh Senior Class With aim that’s staunch and true, Our country needs much from boys and girls Who cherish our red, white, and blue. Our colors here are green and white But we must bear in mind, That as we love and honor these Old Glory must lead the line. Our school days here have been happy ones Memories that will never pass, As we step out to greet new life Let ' s each be an honor to the Senior Class. Our teachers here have helped us much To carry through our high school years, That with firm foundation, we may step forth To be outstanding, no room for fears.
