We realize our careers in life Are mere started—just begun. As we face daily battles, We’ll always do our very best; We shall remember our class motto, For it will help us stand the test. All thanks to parents, friends and teachers Who helped us surmount all fretful cares And raised our motto high, “The elevator To success isn’t running—take the stairs”. And now the class of ' 37 Has reached its long sought goal. It leaves the teachers and the students Best wishes and love untold. —HELEN OVERCASH 13
