Now from this school we must depart Onward to our life careers With your vision in our hearts. Teachers, friends, and classmates true. Our first milestone we’ve left behind With deep regret we now leave you Yet with mem’ries pleasant and kind. Chorus Farewell to thee, A. D. Higgins, Farewell to thee. Junior High, Farewell to thee, A. D. Higgins, As we now say “Good-Bye.” Class Poem We have had a very happy career. In the Higgins School, but now the end is here. We wish to thank our principal, so true. And teachers, we shall never forget you. Classmates, we are all about to part And all, I hope, with a jolly good heart. In your saddest times, try to be gay For your “Not finished, just begun” today. When we are well on the road of life. And have to struggle with unavoid- able strife. We shall throw back our shoulders, and be unafraid For memories of this school shall be our aid. Charles Bonelli. Class History We can hardly realize that the career of the class of nineteen twenty- six of the Alvin D. Higgins Junior High School has come to an end and we are about to say, “Farewell.” To most of us, -our lives here have been happy and profitable and we have striven daily to reach the goal; our graduation. During this time, we not only secured the knowledge of certain subjects as English, History and Arithmetic but have endeavored to develop the cultivation of good morals, which will serve us in our future lives. School reopened September 8, 1925, and we were surprised when separat- ed into four rooms instead of three as in the previous year. This was necessary because our class was the largest to enter the A. D. Higgins School.
