pDMEHISD Volume XX FORT MEADE HIGH SCHOOL Fort Meade, Florida The Senior Class of 1964 presents rrMoments to Remember99 The New Year's Eve we did the town. The day we tore the goal post down - We will have these moments to remember. The quiet walks, the noisy fun, The ballroom prize we almost won - We will have these moments to remember. Though summer turns to winter And the present disappears, The laughter we were glad to share Will echo through the years. Though other nights and other days May find us gone our separate ways - We will have these moments to remember. EDITOR: Irene McDaniel BUSINESS MANAGER: Jane Durrance BUSINESS ADVISOR: Mrs. A. T.
