When the day is hotly quiet And the breeze seems not to blow One would think the sand was resting But you'll find this is not so. It is whispering softly whispering As it slowly moves along And for those who'1l stop and listen It will sing this hopeful song. Of prosperity and fortune On the thorny road of life Endless sunny days and moonlit nights and endless days of strife. How we'll always seek the bright side In whatever we might do And how we always will remember Le Our whole life through. Yes, it always whispers to us IES Ya y if ll E' CLASS SONG nox High As the days do come and go When our teachers and our classmates Studied hard to learn and know When we Seniors roamed the building Happy students searched for fun And now everything is ended As we exit one by one. How we left our books and papers For the class of fifty-seven And our classmates we have left them too But we'll know them as they've been If you want to learn our secrets Wander thru this quiet land and I'm sure you'll hear the story of the Shifting, Whispering sands.
