Yes, we've enjoyed our stay here immensely But we feel we have rounded the hill, And we Seniors are leaving a vacancy That none other like us can fill And we're leaving with hearts full of gladness And not one showing signs of a tear For we are going to be adults when we leave F C H S this year ' 3 ' . A g ' 15 before long. Perhaps settle down is right as I understand he and Carolyn Grigg
