Chorus: Tonight we are departing, In many different ways, We never will forget The pals of high school days. The stairs we now start climbing Success to reach will strive. A farewell now we re taking. The class of twenty-five. Tho the years may pass This same old senior class In dreams they ever will together be. Years may come and yet We never will forget The days we spent in dear old Lincoln High. —Linnie Shirley. 21
