-HlILLIFlil-12944 GYM .mm This is the year, the inevitable day That marks fulfillment of our long-sought dream. We're proud, but yet a little sad. We say Few Words to one another. These few hours seem Too short, too glad, too meaningful for speech. Our four full years of comradeship are gone. Our goal, our dream, is now Within our reach. We gaze beyond this hour's exultant pride To strive for life, for laughter, and for love: To use, O Peace, our knowledge in the tide To build a haven for thy war-torn dove. Through cloudy days and sunlit hours long, The memory of our school will keep us strong. COLLINS BENNETT Class Poet Page Twenty-seven
