SUosscrot SENIOR CLASS I'OKM WILI' we ever forget our High School clays, Spent together in work and play, Studying lessons both new and old, (raining knowledge from books untold? Oh, no, the pleasures that in our pathway fell, Remind us to remember. Forget those hours of the past? oh, never, Though each path the class may sever Memories, for which we all have room, ill oft arise and dispel the gloom, And in imagination, we can tell, The doing ; of each member. There was a time when our tasks seemed long, And a day in which we sang no sc r.g. But then came a day when our sorrow fled. When gloom away by gbidnes:; was led, When each pleasure moved as fast As one swift flowing river. Now, as we’ve come to our last year. Of our departing we have no fear, For well we know where’er our paths lay That back to school our minds will stray. And associations of the past Are memories sweet forever E. R. P.
