LERSER CLASS POEM Good-bye to dear old Commerce High The time has come to say, Good-bye. Although our hearts may happy be It makes us sad to part from thee. Our school days are forever gone But life ' s real work has just begun, And when life ' s work is also past We pray we ' ve reached our goal at last. So if we win the world ' s great strife. And gain each battle all through life Our praise must always be for you Who taught us to be strong and true. And though our feet may pause or fail, As up we climb life ' s rugged trail We hope we ' ll all come, Smiling thru Oh, Commerce High, from thoughts of you. No steel or granite makes up our walls No marble rich seals up your halls. Yet granite and steel and marble you ' ve wrought To help us to win the battles we ' ve bought. The lesson you ' ve taught with strug ' zle and strife Will aid us on the road of Life. And thus we shall forever be Dear Commerce High, right true to thee. — Dolores Beeman CLASS SONG (To the Tune of Let Me Call You Sweetheart ) Commerce tho ' we ' re leaving. We shall still love you; In our thoughts you ' re dwelling, And our hearts are true. Friends may be forgotten, But no — never you ! Commerce, you are calling — Calling us to you. When the day is over. And our work is through, H e are always dreaming Of our days with you; Thinking of our teachers, And our classmates too — Commerce, we are yearning To come back to you !
