®atlpr Edited and PiddifiJied by the Pupils of A. D. Higgws Juuior High School, ThojupsonviUe, Connecticut QUasa nng Hail, Higgins Junior High (Adapted from Hail, Pennsylvania) Hail, Higgins Junior High! Steadfast and strong; To thee with loyal hearts, we sing this song, Swelling to heaven high, our many praises ring; Hail Higgins Junior High, to thee we sing. Hail, Higgins Junior High! Guide of our youth; Lead thou thy children on to light and truth; Ne’er can thy spirit die, nor thy walls decay. Hail, Higgins Junior High, for thee we pray. (Elaaa “Even this must pass away,” a saying old but true, A phrase to bring one courage but at this time makes us blue. For our happy days at Higgins now are ended And memories of well-loved teachers and friends soon will be blended — In a pattern of the past. ’Twas such a short time ago we entered her friendly walls. And eagerly but timidly trod the now familiar halls. The teachers were strange, the class- mates new. But as each day rolled by, the deai-er they grew. Together we worked, in study and play To reach our goal, Graduation Day. The day brings happiness and also tears. For the happy memories of the last two years. But with heads held high we journey on To greater knowledge that lies beyond. And when the top is reached, and our school days are ended. Memories of days at Higgins still will be blended — In a pattern of the past. Joan Thompson, 8 A TC THE CLASS CL 1 149: There are indeed few if any occasions which bring to the hearts of students , parents and teachers a greater measure of pride and exultation than does that of the graduation exercise. It represents the fulfillment of the many dreams and aspirations toward which each has contributed over the years. Graduation, however, should mean even more than all this. It should be a time when all experiences of the past are critically evaluated, and the opportunities of the future carefully and painstakingly surveyed. That America firmly believes in education as an instrument of free men in a free world is constantly and consistently being demonstrated. If we are to survive as a free nation, that survival m.ust be based upon the as.sumption that all men, regardless of race, creed or color, are entitled without reservation to the benefits of an education — the birth- right of every American. We of the Higgins School faculty salute you graduates of the Class of 1949 in the attainment of your first educational objective. We are humbly grateful for the privilege of having made our contribution to your personal welfare. We have an abiding faith
