Mrs. Remington became our advisor two years ago when we were unorganized and a bit unruly. Since then, she has guided us through raffles, dances and magazine sales. We have all come to love and admire her. Thank you — Phyllis — for all of your support and for always being there. 3 BOARD OF EDUCATION President Allen Thomas Vice-President Paul Watson Clerk Martin Clohosey Elizabeth Brown E. Walter Paul Roger Scovil IN MEMORY OF CARROL O. BROWN For his many years of service and dedication to the Board, the school and the community. REMINISCING Lately we've been thinking, Where will we be going? Who will we be knowing? When we’re no longer here: With Colton far behind, But still on our mind; We'll keep every moment, Whatever we find. Thinking back over the years, Hearty laughs and warm tears, Cherish every moment, May they be bad or good. There's so much we've done; We've lost and we've won, And yet through it all We’ve had our share of fun. None of us noticed, Time was flying by. Now it's upon us, Time to say good-bye. We will leave behind us; Those of you who taught us, Those of you who brought us; Such love we can t forget. The best we have found, In friends we abound, And what will our lives be Without you around? We have learned to live here, And we bid you all to hear, We will always hold you dear, These years at C.P.C.S. We'll miss you we know, Yet can we show, That pull in our hearts, That says stay and yet go. None of us noticed, How time was flying by, The Class of 79 Bids you all good-bye.
