Class Poem We have crossed the bay, The ocean lies before usp May Alma Mater help us, And see us lead the Way. We've sailed the ship together, Through billow, wave, and foam We've battled all the Weather, We'll soon be out alone. Whatever may befall us, In life's long journey's end: We'll strive to be victorious And e'er our school defend. But now as time draws closer, To this sad parting hourg May all the hopes We cherished, Be strengthened with our power. Without a hand to guide us, On life's threshold we stand: To make decisions bravely, And meet the world's demands. -Minnie Moran Thirty-five
