Class Poem Twelve years ago we entered school, A little shy and frighted Afraid we couldn't learn the rules, Afraid we'd need our habits righted. We've come a long, long way since then. In a thousand ways we've changed. We've learned to on ourselves depend, To do our best within our range. Now suddenly we find ourselves On the threshold of our careers, I wonder, don't we feel the same, A little shy, with many fears? We should go back and learn once more To complete each task and when we're through, To ask ourselves truthfully, “ Is this the best that I can do?”’ We'll think for one long moment and then, In accord, we’ll answer a triumphant ‘‘Yes.”’ Our worries are over, our fears have ceased! For now we've found our happiness! Elaine Fisher Class Song (Tune: Alma Mater) Now we leave our alma mater Dear old Granite High; Memories will always linger As the years go by. Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, too We bequeath our place to you; Share your talents, blend your voices Onward, white and blue. Underclassmen-we have futures Yet to be unveiled; May you strive to help accomplish Goals that we have hailed. Granite, now we bid farewell To teachers, loved ones, and to thee; May our achievements-God be willing Stress our loyalty. Jim Kluttz
