Heisey SENIOR CLASS SONG CTune- You Walk By D Farewell dear school, we now must all depart With sweet mem'ries clinging to our hearts, WThe horizon widens as we climbn Trying hard to make our lives sublime. There We go, so happy yet so sad, Grateful for the pleasures we have had, Loyal, honest, we will have no fears Throughout the coming years. Ship ahoy, we now have set a-sail, Our ship of life, and hope we'll ride the gale, If it sinks before we reach our goal, 'e'll do our best to reach the nearest shoal. With faith like ours, success should not be far, Inspired by you, has been our guiding star All aboard--with faces toward the sun Farewell, from us of N4lN. -Pauline Weiser .4 .S 2,5 a al, my fix 4 ' Ji ' ,Q if.r 1if var '1zLfM X'-v .
