SENIOR CLASS PQEM Page Twenlyf I wo Before the gates of the world we stand As they slowly open wide: They beckon us to take our place ln the busy world outside. But brave are we and courage bold We hold within our grasp: Prepared and ready for the trials, We are such a daring class. Out of despairing depths we came Striving harder than before: For we would never give up But always try once more. Welcome will the memories be That come to haunt us there: ln that future mysterious realm. Those precious thoughts so rare. Countless are the peals of laughter That have echoed through thy halls: Many were the helping hands Extended to us all. Farewell to you, dear L. H. S., The time has come when we must part: But you will live forever Within each mind and heart. RUTH SENTER. Class Poet
