Someday We May Lead Friends 3 DEDICATION To two very special people, Linda Kaye and Audra, we dedicate our 1984 HORNET. Linda Kaye and Audra were two friends, who touched our lives in a very special way. The fond and treasurable memories we shared together will stay with us forever. LINDA KAYE SCHMIDT April 18, 1966 - July 17, 1975 There was much joy and laughter, Good times that were enjoyed. Now they were all just memories. All of a sudden, a void. All of their friends keep asking, Keep searching for the truth. Of why these two lovely children Were struck down in their youth. The mystery of why the Lord called them Still haunt their fathers and mothers. He needed two stars in heaven To brighten the path for others. The memories of good times and happiness, To their classmates remain crystal clear. As indicated by the dedication Of the Hornet Annual this year. As the last day of school approaches, Hearts will be happy and light. Audra and Linda will smile down from heaven On their classmates, graduation night.
