CLASS POEM Now the time has come for us to part Although die thought chills every heart. We all must go our seperate ways To meet the trials of future days. Our dear Alma Mater we have loved so well With cherished memories in our hearts will dwell. The teachers, as guides, close by our side With sweet reminiscence in our hearts will abide. Now the time of parting is drawing so near, To our fellow students and faculty dear, We wish to bid all of you good-bye, As we keep our school banner flying high.
