©atlpr Edited and Published by the Pupils of A. D. Higgins Junior High School, Thompsonville, Connecticut Claaa on0 “Hail, Higgins Junior High” (Adapted from Hail, Pensylvania ' ) 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. Claaa Now is the time to say farewell. To the dear school we love so well; It was here we learned to read and write. And to do our homework every night. Our principal and teachers were thought- ful, indeed, Ready to help when we were in need; Together we worked in study and play. And already it’s here — “Graduation Day.” At Higgins we’ve made many a friend. Now our eighth year has come to an end. This is our last and fond good-bye. To the school we’ll remember, Higgins Junior High. — Kathleen Legienza 51 0 Class of X057: For the past several years it has been my privilege to address a few pertinent remarks to the members of the graduating class. This role makes it possible for me, acting as a representative of the faculty, to be among the first to extend to you, our heartiest best wishes for your continued success. The class of 1957, in a fitting tribute to the observance of Flag Day, has ably chosen for its graduation exercises the general theme, ' ' To Thee We Sing”, and the equally impressive Class Motto, Long May It Wave”. From its earliest beginnings, our flag has been a symbol of freedom to the oppressed throughout the world. It is the banner of a proud and gallant peoples dedicated to the principles of freedom, justice and equality, not for ourselves alone but for all who bear the heavy yoke of oppression even in the most remote areas known to man. Our country at this moment is a recognized leader in the family of nations. Time and events have placed us in a position of grave responsibilities to our present and future generations. There are in this world today forces bent on the enslavement of all liberty loving peoples. Freedom in our land will continue to flourish as long as Americans can raise their hands in salute to our flag and proclaim to all the world Long May it Wave”. Cordially yours, Ernest K. White, Principal
