Farewell and Onward Through these arched doorways We now are passing --Never to return To recall the scampish happenings. We look around and think Back to the golden days of learning; Of how scared we were That first ominous hour in the studyhall. From our trembling and immature beginnings We fought hard The struggling battle of adolescence To the time of sophistication. Now we are through and have begun To realize we are growing up; Being thankful these doors have Prepared us for this hard world. --Charlotte Booth Flower: American Beauty Rose Colors: Silver and Blue Motto: We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us commit it to life. 25
