IUDY BALLARD OUR GREATEST YEARS As We the class of fifty-nine Approach our graduation, We think of all that's happened since Our ninth grade registration. We were only on the threshold Cf our greatest years, it seems, When on the hill at lunior High We began fulfilling dreams. lt seems like only yesterday We passed our sophomore year, Gaining companions and knowledge, These memories hold so dear. Our junior year Was almost sad, We strived to make it the best. This was the last of old Rome High Before it formed East and West. As We, the first East Rome seniors, Obtaining the leading role For tomorrow's senior classes Hope to have set a high goal, So now We leave these treasured halls, The unknown future we face. We pray that God will bless this class As we go to take our place.
