The Class of '34 has passed-- Dear memories only can replace Those four grand years-now closed at last, And vanished into unknown space. As other classes, in their day, Have shown their stalwart grit and fight- Have conquered failures in their way And pushed ahead to what was right- The Class of '34 shall go And do its bit of worldly work, And though its progress might be slow, It's plain to see it will not shirk. We know that others come to learn Will carry on and do no less. We'll not be missed-we've had our turn To serve the cause of E. H. S. VVALTER EARUS, CLASS SONG Tune-Auf Wiedersehen My Dear Verse- Our high school days are ending, We're soon about to leave, Gay voices we are lending, Altho' our hearts do grieve, And as the time draws nearer Beloved school days become dcarer. Chorus-- Dear School we say a fond goodbye To schoolmates dear and teachers true, Soon we must sever that dear tie That binds us here with you- Dear high school in our hearts you'll stay Your faith in us will last alway, To the ideals we learned from you, We ever will be true. Four years have flown too fast And now they're ending Our school days now are past And on our way we'll soon be wending, So now we say a sad adieu To friends we loved so fond and true Remember us forever more, The Class of Thirty-four.
