91044 Www T We've come to a moment in our cycle of life, Where the past and the future are one. And we leave here now a treasured time of our lives, For the days when success will be won. Yes, this moment is one we have long waited for, Yet whose arrival we truly dread, For it closes a door on our frivolous days, And opens to the duties ahead. By Ruth Poplaski 1 'Tis true that not all oil our number will win fame, 'Tis true we know not lwhat is in store, done, Iust better than ever before.
