Class Testator: Betty Ann Fulp Witnesses: Helen Sears Sylvia Lewis CLASS POEM Leaving these halls is such sweet sorrow, For we leave many joys behind; We must have bright faith for the morrow, To seek, to strive, to find. Hearts with warm memories abound With hopes for future years; Minds quickened with knowledge found, Look forward, free of fears. Our days spent here are not in vain, In time these days will be The base for all that we shall gain, The foundation of our destiny. Joan Butler Matthews 26
