Cloudless are the skies, The time seems a slave to our will, Endless tomorrows with happiness We fill. Journeying unfamiliar paths we'll travel free And find the sunny road to success. But never, never lonely shall we fare For you, Smith Hi, will be in our dreams everywhere, With heart strong for battle and determined to win, May we not weaken when the work begins, For only contentment fools find and keep But to him who succeeds the road is steep, The top is farther on the way And splendor is but a Sunbeam, soon to stray. Faithful to our work, respectful to our call, Arid seeing it isn't too easy not too small Each toil a benediction and for us the best We'll do it well and leave God the rest. 611155 Sang Our four years here is a precious thing That We'll rejoice in remembering, We've shared our joys and sorrows here, So it's hard to part from those who 've grown dear. Remember parents and teachers, too, That it's with your guidance we start anewg With courage, faith and the knowledge gained We can face life's problems and share its pains. This class of nineteen and fifty-eight Will long remember this wondrous dateg The hour draws near as the time flies past So with heavy hearts we depart at last. We leave undaunted and unafraid Of any future that lies ahead, We've come this far so we can't turn back, But, before we go, Smith you must know - You'll always be remembered.
