THE FIRST LINK link in our chain has been welded, A lap in our race has been run, With joys that our high school has held, The best part of our lives has begun. Toward the years that stretch onward, we're watching And wondering wnat fate holds in store, With pain in our hearts unabating Our work in this school now is ore. Dear teachers and playmates held dear, Who guided us in the past, We'll think of you often back here While bonds of true friendship hold fast. Our future holds two open pathways, One smooth, always sunny and bright, Its pleasures and joys fill the days But neter will it seale the heights. The other is long, rough and gray, Few pleasures and burdens not light. But always one Guide leads the way And shows us the path to the heights. Fach one must choose his own highway Or path or what'cr it may be, To the link in our chain which is welded, Wo'll add or be lost in the sca. Lot's elimb up the path to the top, And joys and rewards wo'll doscive, Our chain and our race we'll eomplete Our friendships and memorics proscrvce Elizabeth C. Gates
