.JKMES WEST FORWARD, LITTLE SENIORS By Gloria Jf Greet Go forward little seniors, the day has come and the crowd is all around, With your head up high and neatly arranged in your cap and gown. Go forward little seniors, your goal has just begun; You're fighting for success, don't give up now until your work is well done. Go forward mighty Seniors, the world is waiting for you, Opportunity is there, open the door, go in, there,s nothing else to do. Go forward powerful Seniors, and in this big world you Will find, The best career you can ever wish for, in 'his modern age of time. ' ANNIE IR, WILLIAMS
