CLASS COLORS CLASS FLOWER Nlaroon and White lvhifff R055 CLAss lXfO'l l'0 Build for l'l1IlTlll'ft'3T, not for frmzef' FRIENDSHIP Sometimes in years that are to come, A door of mem'ry will open for some, And thoughts will rush out as from a door Xvhere treasures are that we Want to store. All is old in the musty, dusty air, And mem'ries come at sight of things that are there- Dim. familiar faces of real people, And a song that resounds from tower to steeple, The gentle, spring song of a happy day, The song of our youth, carefree and gay. Thus passes the panorama of years That we love, when our thoughts cheer Our dreams and we always sing Of what we did and everything Hle planned-our hopes and dreams. One comes trueg another seems Forever a dream. But above all those lVe have our friendship which goes lllherever we go-of that we sing, Above all friendship is the noblest thing. X'Ve may not meet for years on end, But each lives in the memory of a friend. Friendship, a thing so strong It ever soars above the throng In war or peace, in time of strife On battlefields, in all walks of life. And though we all are far apart, YVe are together in each heart. KENT S'rocKELL, Class Poet PRAYER FOR THE CLASS OF '45 Help us, great and gracious Lord, now that we are about to test untried wings. Guide us lest we stumble. Lead us when we falter. Open our eyes to a brighter world, and bring to our hearts a clearer understanding. Teach us to love our fellow men. Teach us kindness, loyalty, truth, unselfishness, and a steadfast devotion to tried and L1'1lC ways. Grant us, Lord, though separate ways we walk, a heartfelt gratitude for teach- ers and classmates such as these. Grant Thy richest blessings on each of us as we leave. Vle have no great contribution to offer those who follow us, but may they find the well-trod road of friendship and happiness that we have walked in our golden hours at Donelson High School. Help us to know when life is through, That we have filled a needed post: And here and there we've paid our fare, XVith more than idle talk or boast. Amen. LESLIE ANNE DABBS
