Finale The Finale—Graduation is over, The curtain’s closed forever on it all, We’ll each be going different ways, We won’t be coining back next fall. Twelve years it took to produce the play. Long years they were, yet short to some, But all was worthwhile to the characters When you count the reward we have won. The first four years we built up the cast, Found our cues, practiced each day; The next four years we rehearsed our parts, Followed directors, shaped the play. The last four years we raced with time, Worked harder to conquer defeat; And then at the end of the twelve long years We found our play was complete. We’re modern and gay and “glad that we’re through. But at heart we are sorry to go. Old friends, old scenes, the familiar stage, Will all be missed—I know. What lies beyond is indistinct And we’ve only come part of the way, It’s Life’s drama, comedy? or tragedy? But always another play. Lelia Myers 6
