We’ve had good times within your walls, old I). H. S. We’ve made good friends and studied some since we entered your doors as Freshmen four years ago. Now the time has come to part and we must sadly bid our friends farewell, but yet let it not be “farewell” hut rather “an revoir.” As we journey through life we must not forget old I). H. S. but love and reverence her. So again let us bid each other “au revoir.” au revoir.
