CLASS SUNG TUNE: “ 1 ill I he End of Time ' ' With our hearts so blue, Dear Tech High, we’re leaving you, As we say goodbye and give a sigh We’ll go on loving you. As the time draws near, Leaving memories s-o dear, We’ll count the hours we’ve spent together Until the parting day. As we go away You will always hear us say That we’ll think of you in all we do And of our friendships true. Although our parting will be sad, Remember the times we’ve had With all the friends we knew and loved, Till the End of Time. —Ramona Simpson.
