Ti-It ODYSSEY OF 1936 QZCISS OGVVL faithfully, clay after day, we have worked, Gaining more knowledge, our duties ne'er shirlced. Yes, classes before us the same road have run, With life's lessons, experiences, have struggled and won Along with our study there's been loads of fun. All have found leisure for good jolce or pun. Now finished our course, we come to these days With lceen satisfaction and hearts full of praise For those who have labored each day with us here, Leading us on with tact and-good cheer. To the teachers who malce a school whatever it be, Grateful thanlcs we extend--well deserved all agree. Community spirit, too, has played its part. lts good wishes and interest we've felt from the start. Close friendships have grown as together we've toiled. No harsh note of discord our school spirit has soiled. Along with the joys and thrills as we prepare to depart, A feeling of sadness steals into each heart. l-lomer Academyl We bid thee farewell. Fond memories of all you've been in our hearts will e'er dwell New taslcs are calling. The future looks bright. Then, On, fellow classmatesl l.et's do with our might! Let's remember the lessons that we've learned here, Step out on life's highway with never a fearl John Fay 36 'I34l
