TO OUR TECH HIGH Once more the time is drawing near W hen seniors say adieu. W ith heavy hearts we bid “farewell From the el ass of ’52. You ve been an inspiration To each and every one. There are memories to cherish As our final year is done. We shall ne’er forget “blue Mondays Or those everlasting tests. o Sitting through a dreary class. When what we craved was rest. Well remember all the hours We have spent within your halls, And the many loyal friends We have made inside your w alls. And in our reminiscing We ll include our teachers dear, Who have worked with us so patiently Through each and every year. I hen, as we go to meet the future This bright world holds for us, o We’ll remember ole Tech High School Where we put our faith and trust. Dear Alma Mater, to you we say So long,” but not “goodbye, For we ll be back from time to time To look on as passers-by. Pat Freeman and Martha Stogner, Class Poets Page Twenty-two
