Class Poem Now that our school days will soon be at an end, We will go forth a new life to begin. Let's not allow our friendships to perish, For we have a great many memories to cherish. Many have been our troubles and trials, Though we've been through the years with a smile. But our happy days will be much greater in number, So now let us not allow ourselves to slumber. Our teachers have been so grand through the years, So let's all stand and give them three cheers. They've been so patient, we appreciate all they've done. Though sometimes they've been harsh, each of our hearts they have won. All the parties, games and picnics at which we had fun, Each good time we've had, no one has forgotten a one. We'll never forget the studying we did for a test, When each one wanted to do his best. Basketball, baseball, football and all the rest, We the class of SZ always did our best. Good sportsmanship has always been our goal, And we worked at it with all our heart and soul. Even though our paths will lead each of us a different way, Let's all try to make our lives better day by day. We'll always remember our standards and the golden rule, And stand up for the things which we've learned in school. By: Joan Reynolds Marie Minter Othelia Hall l19l
